save me from this wasting
pull me from this wreckage
though i’ll try to lay the blame on you
yes i’ll try to lay the blame on you
hold me so i wont fall apart
kiss me till you undo the hurt
and ill try to lay the blame on you
yes i’ll try to lay the blame on you
luminary – wasting – written, produced and performed by two people who met through a random person search on ICQ 3 years ago. now heard as played by some of the most famous dj’s in the universe and the odd local.

pretty interesting that the AFK stuff has been pretty consistently well received, though I have a feeling that the Adrenaline mix will be closer to the top of the list by the end of the month, it’s getting about a hundred downloads a week at the moment.

Do you ever think that
This is now I must remember?
You take in all around you
Colours, taste and smell
Before it fades like a dying ember
I had coffee with rum
Sang along to the drums
Of the crowd
As we cheered the dawning
And I want to save it
Somewhere safe
So I’ll remember
Bring it out one day
When everything looks grey
To make me smile
When I’m feeling tender
And we climbed a hill top
Following a new friend
In the sun of the early morning
All day
Replay
The rush of life
Makes a memory distant
I remember long ago
Certain things were simple pleasures
lyrics from bent – now i must remember

looking at my camera in the past tense. i remember when i used to tear around with this thing, so proud of it and all that it could do. i haven’t gone out on a trip with it in some time. battery charging mechanism doesn’t work in it. so i get 5 minutes at a time. my phone isn’t charging properly either. my computer crashes at least once a day now. the needles on my turntables are old and need replacing.
my tools are getting dull.

the etch-a-sketch has been flipped and shaken.

“it’s like you’re at the penny arcade and you just put a loonie in the machine.”
– adam quiney telling adam weir that he had gone too far with a joke

this kind of [bleep] just blows my mind. i am disappointed and, sadly, not surprised. some parts of the world have a long ways to come..

i have been sick for the last 3 days, i took half of wednesday off. thankfully the worst of it is over. i am getting apartment fever from being in the same place for too long. last time this happened i went back to work but i don’t want to make anyone sick there with all my sneezing and gross germs.
last night braeden came by and we watched the hockey game. he’s in town for a few weeks which is rad. charles also came by with some secret vitamin pills and i’ve been taking those with coldFX and i think i will have this bug beat by the end of the weekend. i’m feeling pretty run down right now.
i was going to go to vancouver this weekend but now obviously that would be a bad idea, so i’m staying here. it’s weird to think about taking the bus to north van to visit my brother anand since the last time i did that, i actually lived in north van. so i wouldn’t have a place to trundle to. bizarre. this is around the time last year that i was just settling in to my place in north vancouver and questioning why the iPod doesn’t handle video.
the piece of music i have been fiddling around with is stuck in my head even though i stopped playing around with it a couple hours ago. not sure what to do with it really.
my throat is itchy
