Xanthos sits in a corner of my house, rusting, tyres flat, screaming of neglect, pleading for human touch. In my closet my tri suit and shorts sit, crying to be taken out to see the sunlight and to touch the saddle and my sweat. My helmet hangs from the cabinet above, looking forlorn and misplaced. My books are screaming to be dusted, my sketchbook is itching to be scribbled on, my textbooks and notes are desperate to go up in flames, my track shoes are eager to be worn, while sixteen albums sit on my desktop waiting to be unzipped. Books in Borders are yelling at me to buy them, CDs are bending under the pressure of waiting for my patronisation, Scarlett is appealing to be reorganised (looking at how slow she's moving compared to before), shows are piling in heaps, and Anthony's beer is bursting from his fridge (yes? hehe).
T minus 20 days. |

This is what it all boils down to. There's no more laughing it off as it was some practice or lame ass exam we could flunk and restart after, there's no more going through the questions at tuition and learning from mistakes. This is it, it's now or never. It sucks. It sucks that I'm letting this dictate my value, it sucks that there is only so much I can control. But what other choice have I?

If this is really what it means, then I'm sorry I was ever born. Thanks for taking care of me and bringing me up, but no thanks for always putting me down. I always thought that maybe someday you'd change and be a better role model than you are now. You always made me feel like you're one of the most perfect, one of the best I could ever ask for. But as with everything else, I'm wrong. I've known this for years now. I never want to be like you. That's what my mirror is for. To check if I'm growing into a you. If that ever happens then what I've been working for all these years will come to waste. And I'll be the saddest, sorriest, most pathetic fuck ever. I don't want your vices and shortcomings, I don't even want your strengths because I have and will have my own. Whatever it takes, I want to be a better person than you'll ever be. |

On nights traversing the lonely path surrounded with gnarly darkness and the occasional person, in the theatre with a group of friends and couples stuck together all around, on long and quiet bus and train rides accompanied with Satine to fill the silence, in the coffee shop in the cold cold afternoon with my hoody and notes and exercise books and haunting the baristas and people who talk too loudly, walking in the twilight with rarely strong breeze and a beautiful sunset and Satine feeding out Sigur Rós. Sometimes it feels like something is missing. Something, or someone. I just can't figure out what. Or who. Or which one. And I hate this confusion which I do not need. Not right now. Nor ever. |

I was shocked (understatement) when I heard, a couple of months ago, that Death Cab was releasing a new single on the New Moon OST. And then I saw this tracklist just now.
SERIOUSLY!?!??!?!?
THIS IS WRONG. SO. VERY. WRONG.
THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE START OF THE DEGRADATION OF GOOD MUSIC.
The Twilight saga deserves new age Disney music. Not these artists.
