ILL NINO - ALL THAT I ASK FOR
 
Cause all that I ask for
Is turning to ashes
When everything comes down
There's nothing to die for
There's nothing to die for

Cause im burying my sins
I'm a prisoner and waiting
I'm drowning within
When the world is all im hating
This is my hell

We conform from underground
We arise from your defenses
Through this constitution revolution end

Cause all that I ask for
Is turning to ashes
When all of my passion
Crumbles around me
Im still gonna get to
All that surrounds me
When everything comes down
There's nothing to die for

If I cannot be saved
Then my pride is for the taking
If this is my grave
I will close my eyes awaking
Everything is red

We conform from underground
We arise from your defenses
Through this constitution revolution end

Cause all that I ask for
Is turning to ashes
When all of my passion
Crumbles around me
Im still gonna get to
All that surrounds me
When everything comes down
Cause all that I ask for
Is turning to ashes
When all of my passion
Crumbles around me
Im still gonna get to
All that surrounds me
When everything comes down
There's nothing to die for

Pero mi pais
(But my country)
Todo por mi pais
Todo por mi pais
Todo por mi pais
(Everything for my country)

Cause all that I ask for
Is turning to ashes
When all of my passion
Crumbles around me
Im still gonna get to
All that surrounds me
When everything comes down
There's nothing to die for
(There's nothing to die for)
There's nothing to die for
(There's nothing to die for)
There's nothing to die for
(There's nothing to die for)
When everything comes down
There's nothing to die for
(There's nothing to die for)

Cause all that I ask for
Is turning to ashes
When all of my passion
Crumbles around me
Im still gonna get to
All that surrounds me
When everything comes down
There's nothing to die for

Been listening to this song all day, and i have to say that I like it a lot.
It got me thinking a bit.
Firstly, I can relate to the things i ask for "turning to ashes". its happening right now.
I made some choices a while back, and got things i wanted. But what i thought would make me happy hasnt really made any improvements, and i cant go back now.
 
But enough of the misery. What I've really been thinking about is the line
"There's nothing to die for"
I realised that this is true in our society.
Everyone has such an apathetic attitude towards everything, the Government, their country, themselves.
Everything that people used to be willing to fight for, and die for, has been twisted to such an extent that instead of inspiring loyalty inspires a sneering reaction and is largely ignored.
People have nothing to believe in with passion anymore.
There's nothing that I would want to die for to defend, not even an idea or belief, and certainly not my country. While I enjoy living in Australia, there is a lot that i dislike and if our government got overthrown I wouldn't be overly concerned.
I think this is quite sad.
Perhaps we need to have something that inspires us and incites passion, rather than apathy.
What do you think?

Daily Moments Of Zen


1. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.

2. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your
neighbour's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

3. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be
promoted.

4. No one is listening until you make a mistake.

5. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.

6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

7. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning to others.

8. It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities
without your help.

9. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of
car payments.

10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their
shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

11. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish,
and he will sit in a boat & drink beer all day.

13. If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was
probably worth it.

14. Don't squat with your spurs on.

15. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

16. Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield.

17. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put
it back in your pocket.

19. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

20. Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side & a dark side, and
it holds the universe together.

21. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

22. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your mouth is moving.

23. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it

24. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

TUESDAYS SUCK!
yesterday sucked so bad that I couldn't even bring myself to write about it until today.
went to bed at 2am, then hit the wrong button on my alarm at 6am, and accidentally slept till 6:45. Was OK coz i was ready by the time i had to leave to go catch the bus to uni, and even had time to get a coffee from mccafe on the way, but had to skip breakfast, which did kinda suck.
BUT
unbeknownst to me, the guy in front of me had ordered 6 COFFEES and it took the lady 10 mins to make em all before she even got around to doing mine, so i missed the bus and had to wait half an hour in the freezing cold wind and rain for the next one, which meant i was late for class and the teacher we have is an A Grade Bitch, so she was all mean about it. And i was cold.
The class was super boring too.
The lecture after that was also super boring and i had to fight to stay awake.
Lunch time was allright until they decided to set the building on fire or something and we all had to go stand out in the cold again until they sorted it out.
After lunch was Japanese, mind numbingly boring again, and it went over time, as usual, which meant i was late for my tute after that, in which i actually fell asleep for a few minutes, and spent the rest of the time drawing on my book. After that I caught the bus with Tara, and it was dark and raining and i had to spend 15 minutes walking home in said dark and rain. Got home, had an argument with mum, did some study, played pool on the net with dave, went to bed.
Thats all.
Today was a bit better, woke up at 6:30, decided I couldnt face going to uni, went back to bed, then slept until 1pm, got up, went to uni, did a Japanese test, went to the library for a little while, then came home, then went to work. work was fairly quiet, which was good.

Joan Rivers almost looks like Michael Jackson's twin

Today I woke up at 6am feeling rather inspired about something that is secret (because you cant trust these shifty internet entrepreneurs, they might steal my idea)
Then i went back to sleep for 23 minutes, and then woke up, stumbled out of bed (i only got about 3 hours sleep lol), opened my bedroom door, blinked once and screamed.
My dad was there about to come in and make sure i was awake. Scared the living daylights out of me. But it sure as hell woke me up.
Went to uni.
Had a pretty crappy day as far as uni days go, oh yes i did, but no more on that.
Coined a dandy new phrase. No I wont tell you that either, you'll steal it. Although Brady may already have done so. Rest assured, he wont be chortling so cheerfully when i sue him for 1000 bagels in damages!
Watched Rove Live for the first time in about a year.
Is it just me or is Rove losing his magical comedy touch? Its probably just me.
I dont know. He just doesnt seem as hilarious as he used to.
Maybe I changed. Who knows?
