Cant Change Me


She can do anything at all
Have anything she pleases
The power to change what she thinks is wrong
So what could she want with me?

But wait just one minute here
I can see that she’s trying to read me
Suddenly I know

She’s going to change the world
But she can’t change me
No she can’t change me

She has the daylight at her command
She gives the night it’s dreams
She can uncover your darkest fear
And make you forget you feel it

But wait just one minute more
I can see that she’s trying to free me
Suddenly I know

She’s going to change the world
But she can’t change me

Suddenly I can see everything that’s wrong with me
But what can I do?
I’m the only thing I really have at all

But wait just one minute here
I can see that she’s trying to need me
Suddenly I know

She’s going to change the world
But she can’t change me
No she can’t change me

welcome to the new world order


its only a matter of time. its a substance thats as indispensable to the student as gasoline and tobacco. its a place more popular than the library. it came from seattle like nirvana. they both have a star in their logos. honestly, you cant go wrong.

I am now in the process of writing a song for my unborn (and eternally aborted) band which will be featured in a nonexistent lp. I now have exactly two (2) chords which I do not know the names of. they are in the vicinity of A# and G but they sound strange (in a good way). i will call them chris and eddie since they were both in singles. so far i have been repeating chris and eddie over and over and i am satisfied with their hypnotic drone. i have also brainstormed lyrics and have come up with this: sampung taong kumain ng tahong. whoa. to me it sounds vaguely biblical, like a wierd pronouncement from an angel before he kills a third of humankind (psychologists and prophets are like that. vague). even this early i can tell that this is going to be a classic. i predict that girls in starbucks will be singing this song as they lick their plates clean of blueberry cheesecake. i will, of course, refuse to become famous. i will get a handsome proxy to appear in all my music videos so that the world will believe that he is me and he will have a proxy band and proxy instruments. he will have a proxy sports car with proxy babes and proxy product endorsements, which will allow me to continue living in notorious obscurity. now, the insoluble question is: sa ganitong kalokohan ko ba talaga sasayangin ang sembreak ko?

haaay sembreak

wala pa sigurong limang libo para mailabas ito sa isang tabloid

sunny side up

on this green grassy slope
we look out on the world
and laugh at people in general
at all the king's horses
and all the king's men
and happy brown children
playing in the sun

up here you could
name all the stars
trace each others hands
waste each others time
feel bigger than you are
because here
the clouds break like eggshells
and it is always sunset

okay so where was I? oh yeah. so this boy was skipping down the street, you know, absolutely clueless doing a kind of rainman bit, you know. and out of nowhere this bus comes charging down the street. it was blue its, plate was GIN 923 and it was a Love Bus mahn (may tutugtog na bass na may wawa ala seventies funk). you know the type? yeah thats the one. see, there was this girl driving it and this girl really had bad eyesight an all and didnt really see the boy scooting around funnylike across the street until it was too late. so the boy goes splat. you know. instant mush. they say the girl had some lame excuse when taken downtown like "akala ko kasi cartoon". and the police were all over the place like hands on a first date mahn and the question that bugged them was "Bat ngayon lang?" well, in my opinion, the boy had it commin. i mean, he played the rainman bit for so long a time, he been dodgin buses almost all his life you know. probably started thinkin he could do this indefinite like, you grokk? now, the powers that be dont look kindly on hubris like that. what? it means godawful pride mahn. hubris means the fall of man mahn. okay so where was I? oh yeah. so the powers probably said something like "Yan ang akala mo. Eto ang sayo!" And so the Love Bus (may tutugtog na bass na may wawa ala seventies funk) finally caught up with him. he probably saw it rushing at him like the godam furies, headlights at full and he probably couldnt move, the poor turd. he couldnt look away cause everything was so bright for the first time. they say he had this idiotic smile before the end. i guess at that moment he realized he was one doomed dodo.

good story right?

Invent (Peter Searcy)

I'm scared of you as you are of me. It's nothing new, and there's nothing that we can do, about it. You can invent me, maybe one day I can invent you. We could be so perfect. You can invent me, maybe one day I can invent you. We could be so perfect.
In the interest of time, I‘ll get straight to the point. You can make me what you want me to be.I can be someone to make you smile, just for a little while.
You can invent me, maybe one day I can invent you. We could be so perfect. You can invent me, maybe one day I can invent you. We could be so perfect.
If I am not what you want, make me what you need, if you're not what I need, I'll make you what I want.You see I can invent you, to be someone to make me smile just for a little while.
You can invent me, maybe one day I can invent you.We could be so perfect.You can invent me, maybe one day I can invent you.We could be so perfect.

parang may nangyaring exploitation dito. wala naman nakuha ang mga taong ito sa nangyari. lahat ng kuha ay sa photographer. kuha, take, capture; ang photography ay pagaangkin. i have their pictures, copyrighted, protected by law, pero yung bata ba may mapapala sa ginawa ko? baka. di ko alam. kaya minsan mas gusto ko magpicture ng mga bagay na walang malay.

One day the great philosopher Thestikles was sitting in the agora eating some kikiam and olives. He saw a fellow philospher passing by and without warning Thestikles gave him a hard blow on the head.
"Pakshet! Why did you hit me Thestikles?"
"I predicted that you were going to hit me today so I made a preemptive strike"
"I was not going to hit you! Why would I hit you?"
"Well, how can you be sure that you wouldn't hit me? Think of all the times I embarassed you in front of the whole lyceum, the time I tripped you in the Olympics, the day I overheard the oracle tell you that your mother will kill you and marry your brother. Can you honestly tell me that deep within your heart you did not want to cause me harm?"
"I agree, I do hate you. And my hate right now is so great that I will strike you now in righteous retribution!"
"But in doing so you make my prediction true and everyone here will know that I, Thestikles, am indeed a great philosopher!"
"Well, then. I will let this pass and show everyone that I am dignified enought not to stoop to such petty violence. Thus, it will be you who will be seen as the villain."
"Admirable move! I am shamed excessively!"
When the other philosopher was gone Thestikles took out a notebook and made a mark. "That makes twenty-five. I think Im getting the hang of this!"
Thus was political science born.

adler was right

i just saw that quote again. the one about how the universe conspires to get you what you want. something like that. its supposed to be inspirational but it doesnt really work for me. if i want to be REALLY motivated, i imagine the exact opposite. i imagine that the world is out to get me, that it wants to keep me down, trip and hamstring me, isubsob ako sa putik, ututan ako sa mukha (see this: http://www.farthammer.com/ ) and various other attrocities. now THAT gets me worked up. after giving myself a pep talk like that i feel i can do anything. i have a feeling terrorists and maligned caregivers in canada think the same way. in the bible, the meek inherit the earth, pero magaamok muna siguro sila para mangyari yoon. we underdogs dont bite, we gnaw you with dull teeth into easy to chew sections!

nothing like suiting up, zipping shut and walking out into a storm. storms make me think that there is a God. and that he cant touch me inside my brown jacket. like an astronaut. astro cigarettes. ASTRO CIGARETTES! (torotot solo)

another productive day at the library! after a whole day of research i have come up with a list of names to name the band i will form sometime in the future:
gansen roces, nippleblack, mister pogi, alamat ng libag, moratorium on hope, the exciting excretions, the amazing excretions, the covalent band, boots of blinding speed, absolutely no change, yaya niyari ni kuya, backwards man, plague pox and pestilence, cesar asar, mahiwagang kabute, dinoceros, burrhus freidrick, jung and horney, metronomicon, rodolfo the red-horse ranger, opposable bum, the enola gays, manly the eunuch, maitim na bulak (aka the eskinols)

if you want, you can vote for your favorite name and we can have a raffle so that the winner will be allowed to name his/her firstborn child after our band. names are what great bands are made of. who needs talent?

Flowers For Algernon. Beautiful book. Classic scifi meets Of Mice and Men. Im not big on book reviews but I will say this: There are two (2) things you need to do in life

1) Find yourself

and then

2) Give yourself to another

everything else are elaborations to the maze. This thesis, of course, requires further testing.
