The two men

after 31 years of life,
I realize that in the time I have loved and been loved
there is two men in my life that stand out
the one that I loves regardless of anything
regardless of what he does and how he is
and the one that loves me
regardless of what I do and how I am

both born on the 15th of February different years ofcourse
the one I loved is Charlie, my dog my brother
and the one that loves me endless is my father

The former passed away recently and this is my tribute page to him

Something important

A song I came across in Gilles Peterson's compilation album Brownwood Bubblers no.3
The guitar sounds were nice but I think the lyrics are even better... kinda hits you in a strange way

Anyhow here is the lyrics and the guitar chords to the song...

Something important

Capo on1st fret

Em7 F#m(7) Bm

Oh~~~
Sometimes when I am doing something I really enjoy
A friend knocks the door so I let her in
She asks me,
what are you up to?
And I say, I don’t know… nothing much
Maybe I’ll have a few books open looking at pages I like to see
Or I’m listening to music
Probably the telly’s on
And before she asked me what I was doing, I felt like I was really doing something
Only now I am not so sure

Em7_________F#m
All the mountains high
______Bm_________Em7
And the streams running high
__________F#m___Bm
They don’t ask why, why do I
________Em7
Something doesn’t make
________F#m________Bm
Everytime I ask myself why
____Em7
Why I do that thing
______________F#m____________Bm
Shouldn’t I be doing something important

Maybe I’m doing nothing, just running through a film in my mind
Or listening to cars outside on the street
Then there will be a voice in my head
The voice comes and she said
Shouldn’t you be doing something important
Cuz look at you sitting through time and time running through you
And away with you
and what have you got to show for your time
I don’t know…
All I know is I didn’t worry about showing anything for my time
Before I asked that question why

__________Em7
Cuz something doesn’t make
________F#m________Bm
Everytime I ask myself why
____Em7
Why I do that thing
_____________F#m____________Bm
Shouldn’t I be doing something important

Em7_________F#m
All the mountains high
______Bm_________Em7
And the streams running high
__________F#m___Bm
They don’t ask why, why do I

Olympic sports

Okay its the Olympic season and for most of it (fortunately) I was away... where there was no TV access.. but now thanks to the internet TV instant broadcasting systems, all I do it watch Olympic games.
But more and more I watch, it seems like most of the sports that are included in the games are something no one would do as a hobby.. like pole vault. I mean do you have ANYONE around you who goes pole vaulting on weekends?
I guess its more like, trying to find out, the fastest person in the world, the person who can jump highest, throw furthest etc.
But then again I wonder how you become an athlete for such sports?
Do you one day announce, I will become a pole vault athlete?
Who chooses them?
Are there criterion which makes you better apt for this?
so many questions...
but all this sports really makes me feel all tired... *yawn*
