thou shalt not conform when thou could blaze thy own path..
Best of Mates
somehow today my mood is on the melancholy side, so there are a couple of songs tat keep on popping into my mind.
movie shrek
- by donkey
Cause I'm all alone
There's no one here beside me
My problems have all gone, there's no one to deride me
But you gotta have friends..
+
my funny friend and me
- by sting
In the quiet time of evening
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made his journey
And we wondered just what happened
To the life we knew before the world changed
When not a thing I held was true
But you were kind to me and you reminded me
That the world is not my playground
There are other things that matter
And when a simple needs protecting (*see below)
My illusions all would shatter
But you stayed in my corner
The only world I know was upside down
And now the world and me, I know you carry me
You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We could be lost we could refuse to try
But we made it through in the dark night
Would those lucky guys turn out to be
But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me
I'm not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different, you showed me something pure
I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure
But you stayed and you called my name
When others would have walked out on a lousy game
And you could've made it through
But your funny friend and me
You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
That tiny planet in a bigger guy
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We'll be together till the end is nigh
Don't know the answer or the reason why
We'll stick together till the day we die
If I had to do this all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss
When the angels sing that that unlikely blend
Are those two funny friends
That's us
nice songs, songs tat keeps on popping into ur mind..not the irritating "mickey u so fine u so fine hey mickey" or the "video killed the radio star" songs.
there are many terms one can come up with the word friends; bosom buddies, pals, strangers in the nite (for some ppl), cybermates, bro, sista, posse, etc etc.
to understand more of the concept of friends and buddies, u can get the whole load of crap from www.cs.wisc.edu/~michaelw/papers/Friends.pdf
i like the term posse..at first i thought twas spelled posies. so went search, and came up w small and roundly shaped flower bouquets that are tightly packed and also will include greenery..crap, anyway, searched for posse, i get a temporary police force. makes sense, posse equals to temporary reinforcement..everybody needs a posse once now n then.
i remembered my sis once told me of the terms soul friends; friends who understand u so well it seems second nature to call them up and just talk crap and the companionship just seems so agreeable and comforting. sometimes by saying nothing, u feel a whole load was lifted outta ya shoulder. thus the concept of drinking buddies was formed. no need to speak, just drink the daylight outta each other. haha..>:)
there's tis question tat i always deem is true when ppl ask, "imagine ya on a boat in the middle of the ocean/river, how many ppl were in the boat with u." tis q is so general, it didnt even ask if it's daylight or nitetime, meaning ya couldnt even imagine the faces of the person sitting in the boat w u. but u know by heart how many figures there were. ironic aint it, tat the figure represents the number of friends whom u deem close to u, cos their companionship felt so close to ur heart, ya dun remember them by face, but by figure. sometimes the faces changes, but the number remains. anyway, just talking crap again. need to increase the volume of crap here so my friends are able to read till the end of the paragraph before coming to bug me again. haha..nah, just kidding. felt crappish is all.
