Early post... (Baker Street)

Good morning, at least for those in the same time zone as I am, or if you are getting to read this in a morning. So I have been under the radar for a while now, struggling to find the time, better yet the right motivation to write something here. Yesterday I fell asleep quite early and today I woke up way early, and decided to sit down and write something. A good status update is that I finally have Internet at home, sounds stupid to mention but I've been trying to get Internet for 2 months, so I still can't really believe it :P.
Honestly I have a lot of topic to put out, however none of them seems good for now, so I'll go for a all time classic. This is one of those songs that when I heard it for the first time (that I can remember) I had the feeling to know it, but never could place it where from. The curious thing about our brain that retains stuff from the past, but just a glimpse, not a real memory,just an impression of a memory. Funny how this happens with loads of things, I mean sometimes you don't really remember people from the past just a impression of them...
Well too many words, here is the original and the version that I heard first, or more likely the version I heard first and can place...

Blue...

Today I have no clue what to write about, but yet i feel the need to write.. Strange isn't it? Well perhaps it isn't, after a isolated weekend one might find the need to talk to the outside world, yet not being sure of what to say...
I feel blue, which is a strange word, why blue? I mean blue means sad, but why the hell, wouldn't grey make more sense? I mean when you see blue you see the sky, thus the sun is out, thus happy day. Grey would be no sun. Anyway, just a randon thought that crossed my mind.
Back on track i do feel blue, and I have beenfeeling blue for a while now, but a secluded weekend just showed me how blue I feel. My girlfriend is in portugal for the weekend, and honestly she has been a positive in my life, more than I figured. So lonelyness is good to figure stuff out, but if you aren't very happy what do you do? Change, well change is just a word, change what? I mean you can change for worst so that you appreciated how good you have it, or just randomly change and see where that leeds you. The thing is, if you are smart you know the answers to change, and they are not better, so what do you do in such a case? Yes i am rambling, sorry for the non rambling type readers.
Is it possible to have a mid life crisis at 28? Well at least a lost crisis...
Anyways here is a nice little song from the past...


Yo listen up here's a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue like him inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him and hisself
And everybody around
Cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

I'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

I have a blue house with a blue window.
Blue is the colour of all that I wear.
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too.
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue.
Blue are the people here that walk around,
Blue like my corvette, it's standing outside.
Blue are the words I say and what I think.
Blue are the feelings that live inside me.

I'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

And everybody around cause he aint got
Nobody to listen to

I'm blue (if I was green I would die)

Winter...

In a grey day like today, when words are short and thoughts are immense, I found this classic Tori Amos song...
When short of words, one can always rely on the poets of the world, specially the great ones that talk not only in words but also with music... Hope you enjoy...



Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hand in my fathers glove

I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice you must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I cant always be around

He says when you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that Ill always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and Im here still waiting
Withering where some snowman was

Mirror mirror wheres the crystal palace
But I only can see myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know, dad, the ice is getting thing

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that Ill always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Hair is grey and the fires are burning
So many dreams on the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud
I always wanted that myself

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gona change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that Ill always want you near
You say that things change my dear

The PEZ...

Well today I wanted to talk about something trivial, what better topic than PEZ. What is PEZ? Well if you are asking you should be ashamed of yourself... PEZ is a candy that is loaded into a PEZ dispensor, which can come as several characters. One of my birthday presents was a huge dispensor, that dispenses loads of PEZ for the smaller dispensors. Anyways just wanted to state PEZ is awesome :P. For more infomartion, well go to ...

And enjoy a classic...

Loneliness factor...

First I want to apologise for the lack of posting, it has been a bit difficult namely because I still don't have internet at home (Long story, let's just say virgin sucks).
So I've been reading up on swarm theory and swarm intelligence, which by itself has probably little interest to the regular person, hey I work in the field (sort of :P) and have little interest in it :P. But I came across a "interesting" fact (notice how I stated "interesting" :P) about human cells. So apparently they commit suicide if they, and I quoting now, "feel lonely". When I first read it, I was like what? But after checking with people more in the biology field, this is actually true. The question is how do you quantify this "feeling"? I mean honestly it is suppose to be science, the cell feels alone and commits suicide? At least sounds a bit off.
The thing that fascinated me was the cell awareness to its loneliness state, I can imagine it communicating "is there anybody there?", "yes", "yes", etc... But the question is does it ask, or waits for someone to ask? I mean seems a bit redundant to ask if someone just asked? :P
Anyway the point of this post is even cells need company, the happiness is only true when shared thing, even the cells know it, well maybe knowing is a bit word :P

The Wii...

Well, eater break is over, my mom came to visit and bought me Wii for my birthday (which was a month ago). Went to Cambridge and I want to write a post on that but now, a simple post for the Wii.
First I think they should put a warning on it saying probable muscle pain when used ;P my arm is killing me, on the upside, my muscles should be getting bigger, or one would hope ;P
The Wii seems to be a awesome piece of equipment, not for the graphics or games, but for the interaction, plus I was never that good at playing bowling, first time on the Wii 164 points, when in real life I barely passed 100, once :P. All in all just fun, action and games, instead of the normal fun and games :P.
Ohh be careful with the baseball, pitching will destroy your arms :P
I'll keep you posted on new developments, for now the Wii rules :)

One interesting video enjoy :P

Amitriptyline...

So today I am making a comment on the fucking anti-depression medication for curing headaches. The headache does go away, but you become numb, not even just that, it is like you feel your headache but not really, you feel that part of the brain but it doesn't hurt, you are simply aware it is there. You become slower in thought, which for me was quite annoying, plus yesterday night when I choose to stop the medication, the headache was quite heavy, more so than usual. Another side effect of this shit is the need for sleep, and although this is on the warnings, it doesn't say if you take it at night you will have 100 times more difficulty getting out of the bed in the morning. All in all, I don't recommend this shit to anyone, at least for headaches...
For depression, I really feel for the people that need to take simmilar drugs, the numbness is confusing, seriously not a nice feeling. You feel like it is you, but you are not really there, anyway my comment is made ;)
