So I'm watching Some Kind of Wonderful for the second time. First time i watched it was when i was a kid and i dont even remember most of it. Ten minutes into the film, and BAM i spot Craig Sheffer who plays Amanda's corvette-driving boyfriend; but I know him so much better as Keith Scott from One Tree Hill. Yes i used to watch One Tree Hill when i was in school. I watched till the end of the 6th season, and maybe some episodes of Season 7 but then it got pretty lame so i stopped watching. So anyway, Keith Scott -Hardy Jenns - Craig Sheffer.


Another young actor in Some Kind of Wonderful playing the part of Amanda's friend Shayne is none other than Molly Hagan who also plays the cooking instructor called Sarah in the episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. called 'The one with the cooking class". This one was a tough one but cracked it! SPOTTED!

Ahhhh. I Just discovered that the House theme song, is actually a Massive Attack song called Teardrop. It just randomly started playing on the 8 tracks playlist i'm listening to. And i dont know why i never thought of it as an actual song, i just thought it was a piece of music composed for House. This is so exciting in a way i cant explain. Its a personal lame excitement thing that no one can understand. This song, is so different from what i thought it was like!

I love it when these things happen, like when you suddenly spot an actor in a film or tv series and you realise that they used to play a different role in another tv series when they were alot younger! like today i was re-watching an episode of How i met your mother and i realised that marshall's boss is played by none other than Dan Lauria the guy who played Kevin Arnold's dad in The Wonder Years. I mean, i didnt realise it at first because he's so much older now in HIMYM :


That is exciting, to me, yes.
Judge away.

If heaven and hell decide they both are satisfied


Sometimes i have these revelations in the middle of a place where its impossible to jot down. Im not a diary person, never have been so its a little difficult to remember them. Some of my friends in school would write diaries but i never did that. I never needed to write down what i was thinking or feeling. Im basically a very private person and one of the reasons why i didnt have diary is that i didnt feel secure about putting down my thoughts and putting them out there. It's difficult especially if your parents are snoopy, not that I'm saying mine are (they totally are).

I dont know how people stay out so late almost everyday or on most days if not everyday. I love being at home on my own. Not really doing anything you know. Waking up really late. Eating whatever. Watching sitcoms, films, tv (yes i watch tv these days - cooking shows - i love them). Ive noticed that only on days such as these do i like to listen to music. As in, sit at home, listen to music while say writing this. I dont really end up listening to music most of the time. I cant work while listening to music because i get too absorbed in the song and pay too much attention to it and hence i cant do the other thing properly. But on days like this, i can, like i am right now. The Shins are relaxing. I sometimes wish i lived alone in another city and i didnt know anyone so i didnt have to do anything or meet anyone. So i would sit at home and do my own thing, and i defnitely think i would listen to alot of music on my own if i lived alone. You cant listen to music all the time. The time isnt right most of the time. You cant listen to See you soon by Coldplay when the blender is onning and offing in the kitchen and your mother is yelling at you to bring her more milk from the fridge. It just isnt; right and i just cant do it. To all those who can, kudos to you all. You know what a beautiful song is? Blackbird by the Beatles. Its simply beautiful. Blackbird fly.

I have flying dreams alot. Its the best feeling in the whole world even though its a dream its crazy and wonderful. It doesnt really make you feel weightless actually like you thought it would but the feeling that you get when you're able to get yourself up in the air is just wonderful. My dreams are pretty real so it feels like it actually happened.

Its summer. I sleep in the ac in summer. After a couple of days of sleeping in the ac i cant sleep in a room without the ac. Its not just because of the heat. The hum of the ac is also important. To be in a completely silent room is uncomfortable. We're always hearing some kind of sound, even if we think everything's silent, whether its the fan or the buzz of the cpu or fridge, or distant sounds that we tend to ignore from the road or whatever, its never really silent, except for maybe people who cant hear at all. It would be really scary if the world became completely silent without any kind of noise at all even for a couple of minutes.

I cant wait to meet my sister. Ive been looking forward to it for a long time now. I hope when i finally do, i have an amazing time. Sometimes i see myself living somewhere abroad for a year or two. Studying there. I think it would be really great. Everyone needs to get out and live on their own for a while, and i know i definitely do. If only things were that easy and i could just get up and go. I was watching Juno after a long time. It looked fantastic on Bluray. Yeah i know its a cute film and the songs are really cute and all that (although the song 'All i want is you' really irritates me, i dont know why, i've never really told this to anyone, but it does), but i was just wondering, who talks like that?! like the way they do in the film. I dont know who talks like that. Its kind of the same way they talk in that new tv series - 'Awkward'. Noone talks like that and its kind of pretentious. I hate the way things are so extreme, and if they're not, nobody buys it. Its has to be super witty or super freaky, or really fast and cunning. Nobody likes normal these days.
What is normal you ask? Oh shut up, you know perfectly well what normal is. I dont like it that it cant be normal and simple. I like simple things you know. A simple film like Little Miss Sunshine, a simple song like - see you soon by colplay, a simple book like The curious incident of the dog in the night time, a simple sitcom like The Wonder Years. Things need to be simpler, much simpler. I dont know if you know what i mean. I hope you do.
Sometimes simpler is good.
Less is more.
Blank spaces are comforting.
Vague is good.
I've surplussed on specifications man.
Need recess. Time to space out. I think being spaced out from time to time on your own time will solve the drug problems of the generation. Rj thinks not. No? Well.
