of humourless elephants

listening to: -
if you ignore the elephant in the room, it'll go away. well. it has happened before. so it shouldn't be any different this time around right?
anyway, jin came up with this which i thought was hilarious!
"i've five fingers, but since you're so special to me, i'll give you one"
i'm envious - the knives of my humour are rusty and dull, and i've even resorted to back-handed tactics of the verbal slapstick kind these days. oh woe is me! =(
it's been a while since anyone has made any observations bout me, so it's interesting to note that i'm not pretentious, i'm just the occasional snob.
can't argue with that really. meh*
a muddled mess

listening to: someone like you - adele
i've only just come across adele recently, and sorry it wasn't any sooner. was just discussing the other day with another friend how mainstream music in this day and age has become almost, quite literally, a production line that churns out song after song, without any depth, both in sound and lyric - which made us both feel, again, quite literally, cheated and ripped off.
if you have the time, search for the youtube video of the following performance - the first hit should be one which shows the introduction prior to the performance. i haven't posted that video as the sound quality was lacking, but well, if you can't be arsed to search for it, the intro (and a very apt one at that), is as follows:
"there's nothing quite like the feeling when you're listening to a song, written by someone you don't know, whom you've never met, who somehow manages to describe exactly how you felt, at a particular moment in your life. this next artist is able to do that time after time. it's for that reason that she's currently number one, in an astonishing, seventeen countries. if you've ever had a broken heart, you're about to remember it now."
like...huh?
mood: resigned
listening to: rolling in the deep - adele
last year, when i turned 29, i went through a bit of a rough patch with myself... questioning my achievements (or lack thereof) to date, reminiscing what were once childhood dreams, and mourning the demise of the same.
now, this year, i seem to be looking forward to my 30th year - a little optimistic about the biological milestone that perhaps translates into what my mind thinks is symbolic of a new chapter. a clean slate.
but ironically, quite a number of people around me seem worried for me now, instead (!)
in the past two weeks, i have had no less than 5 people (both friends and family) wanting to "introduce" (read: match make) me to someone they know or somebody's somebody's son etc.
is 30 really some sort of expiration date??
oh well....*shrug*

mood: wide awake and muddled
listening to: lightning crashes - live
another month has come to pass, in this year that is 2011.
it's funny what becomes of good intentions,
i guess it's a matter of perception.
longing for some inspiration,
and perhaps, a little more direction.
still in search for some redemption.
