Re: random thoughts?
^ Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Henry David Thoreau's Walden:
As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt-sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me. The bullfrogs trump to usher in the night, and the note of the whip-poor-will is borne on the rippling wind from over the water. Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath; yet, like the lake, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled. These small waves raised by the evening wind are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface.

...and then a genetically mutated crocodile leaps out of the water and bites your f***ing head off. Ah, welcome to my world. No wonder I can't sleep at night - and yes, I do wake up screaming loud. My partner always likes that line from McLachlan cos it reminds her of me.
I'm an opinionated old tosser and proud of it.

I'm really cold right now... I think I'm gonna be totally voiceless tomorrow. I had to go leave my work earlier because of this today (well tomorrow now) and although I'm not a big fan of my job, I don't like to do it....

Let tomorrow be a brighter day and where there is hope, there is love for our fellow man.

I was watching American Idol last night and I was surprised that the last contestant to perform did a cover of Kate Bush's This Woman's Work! It's quite good but I was annoyed that both the host and one of the judges credited a certain Maxwell guy (the dude sang his cover version btw, which became quite famous among RnB fans), no mention of Kate at all. Shameful...

Blown by the wind it clings to the tree, unwilling to wither and die...

^ I loved Didi's cover of Rhiannon! Usually Stevie covers are tough, but I loved it.

Re: random thoughts?
Does anyone else agree that this American Idol season has so weak men contestants? I couldn't watch the whole episode this week because I got really really bored while they were singing....
