Blue October - Hate Me

Roomie reintroduced me to this song. Now, i don;t really care much for the meaning behind the song, only go for the tunes, but this is one with lyrics that actually tells a story. Enjoy!

Lyrics


I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling “Make it go away!”
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered “How can you do this to me?”

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
For you
For you
For you

Cheers from,

My my, which country is next?

"According to U.S. officials, President George W. Bush secretly approved orders in July that allowed U.S. Special Operations Forces to carry out ground assaults inside Pakistan without the prior approval of the Pakistani government. A flurry of missile strikes inside Pakistan from American pilotless aircraft and the first publicly acknowledged ground operation by U.S. Special Operations Forces against Taliban operating inside Pakistan this month have caused grave concern in Pakistan."

-International Herald Tribune Online-


Which by the way makes me wonder.......which country is next on the hit list? Maybe Bush will find some Taliban kernels within South Korea . Maybe he'll find bin Laden crouched under Kim Jong's table and order a convenient air strike from his Global Hawks?

"Die die Osama!!!!! I'm sorry to say Kim Jong's death is collateral damage and is unrelated to our anti North Korea Going Nuclear policy"- George Walker Bush

Who knows? Maybe the next time your desk blows up, its probably cause the Taliban had bought it online from Ikea and resold it on Ebay form where you bought it. Knowing Bush's paranoia, he'd take the bait.

That being the case, who needs a damn suicide bomber when you can select targets anywhere using Broadband. They would need good marketing skills however to make sure the target buys the stuff of course.

"Buy this new lamp! Guaranteed to improve your Feng Shui!!!!!!", say if they want to take out Lillian Too and her supporters.

Lillian Too supporters are soo dead if they buy tickets for this show from an online website called "As cheap as hell"

Cheers mates!

Righto,

Was walking back to my room on friday with Audrey and Boon Chong (NTU pals), when i got into one of those fantasy modes..........probably cos i had watched Iron Man TWICE that week on my laptop.

Tony Stark is cool and Gwyneth Paltrow was wow.....period

Honestly though, I never fancied Paltrow ever until this movie. Pepper Potts, an ultra professional, smart with a soft spot under the business look was scarily quite appealing. I do admit, I do find women with brains, women who can ACTUALLY debate on politics and challenge me intellectually on any topic quite attractive.

*cough*

Ok, back to the post.

So i have finally decided what i want to do with my future billions. By which i mean the part of the billions not put into some high flying portfolios, invested in bonds or whatever new wealth management plans out there at the moment (I admit, i am not financially savvy, apart from the fact that yes, when you're rich, get a wealth management consultant to start getting your unused billions to earn you more billions, instead of letting the cash devalue itself....inflation is a killer these days)

Ok...no more digressing...

I will have a red brickwork villa with white lattic windows on a cliff overlooking a lovely blue sea somewhere in New Zealand or the British Isles. Or even Canada.....i like their universal health care.

The house will have 10 square Kms of land, enough space for me to build at least 10km of track to open up my Bugatti Veyron on.......cause there is the possibility i might not get a driving license, ergo, the need for an in house track.

My home will be monitored by an AI software like Jarvis which Tony Stark has. It will be platform independent, and can run on anything i want it to, my new Mac Pcs or my flying suit.



YES.......I will have a flying suit. Just because its cool. And hey, i might want to go spelunking one day, it might come in handy for.....ermm..........flying in caves when i get too lazy to crawl.

My garage will house 3 categories of vehicles. Sports cars, luxury cars, and motorbikes XDXDXD
I will have a Bugatti Veyron, a Jaguar XK, an Aston Martin Vanquish, a Porsche 911 Carerra GT and a BMW M3 ..........at the very least.

And for everyday driving, i would need at least a Bentley Arnage Red Lable, because i think Rolls Royce is a bit too common.........

Of course, if space is a problem, the garage will be underground. And yes, the Aston Martin will have machine guns coming out of its bonnet.....cause i think its cool too, and i can shoot........................................stuff........like....erm.......Badawi or Najib, if they come nosing around.

I will have at least one cordon bleau chef with me at all times, plus my mom, cos i love her cooking.

OH, and definitely this will be in.........
.
.
.
.
A room filled with chocolates. Its smart too. Jarvis will track my chocolate consumption and based on my rate of consumption of certain brands, will tailor the selection automatically via online ordering of chocs which match my tongue.

And the choc room will be configured with a teleportation device calibrated to teleport anywhere within the house. Depending on my consumption rate, to keep me from dying of diabetes or high blood cholestrol related maladies, the room will be teleported away to some hidden spot everytime i want to eat chocs, so i will get exercise when looking for the room, thus allowing me to eat guilt free XD.

Okies, now back to Fluid Mechanics,

Obama for President

Lets set something straight here.

Bush is has the IQ level of a mentally retarded hamster.

Now that's put aside, lets see who's next in the hot seat.......

Obama *cheers*

Mc Cain *not so much cheer...the residual one is from the part of America with bright red necks*

Okay, so a lot of people have been going on and on about how Obama is so much better than Mc Cain and bla bla bla.....

Quite frankly i am getting a little tired of people just saying "Oh hey, I like Obama cos he's like so different and Mc Cain is ...well.....a Republican"

So, time for a bit of education. You want to know how to spot a good president? Ignore their campaigns and take a good hard look at their history.

"John S. McCain and George Walked Bush grew up in tandem, both favoured third generation sons of prominent Washington families, accustomed to power and wealth and influence. Both were poor students and pranksters and both were drinkers as young men" - Time

"Bush attended the all-boys school Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, where he played baseball and during his senior year was the head cheerleader. Following in his father's footsteps, Bush attended Yale University, where he received a Bachelor's degree in history in 1968. As a college senior, Bush became a member of the secretive Skull and Bones society. By his own characterization, he was an average student"-Wikipedia

On Barack Obama.....

"Following high school, Obama moved to Los Angeles, where he studied at Occidental College for two years.^[9] He then transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations.^[10] Obama graduated with a B.A. from Columbia in 1983, then worked for a year at the Business International Corporation^[11] and then at the New York Public Interest Research Group.

Obama entered Harvard Law School in late 1988 and at the end of his first year was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review based on his grades and a writing competition.^[18] In his second year he was elected president of the Law Review, a full-time volunteer position functioning as editor-in-chief and supervising the law review's staff of 80 editors.^[19] Obama's election in February 1990 as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review was widely reported and followed by several long, detailed profiles.^[19] He graduated with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991 and returned to Chicago where he had worked as a summer associate at the law firms of Sidley & Austin in 1989 and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990." Wikipedia

In a nutshell, when even Wikipedia is struggling to find something good to write about your education and past acheivement , and you so happen to be the so called more powerful person on earth, my my, you sure are dumb.

Bush only has an effing Bachelor's in history. Obama has a BA in Political Science and is a Harvard trained lawyer. He grew up in Hawaii, lived in Jakarta as a 10 year old and has definitely seen the worse side of life, much more than a pampered young Bush or Mc Cain anyway.

His proposed policies are:

1)Withdrawl of troops from Iraq

2) Decreasing the influence of Lobbyists

3) Starting a National Health Care plan

4) Energy Independence

McCain's are:

1) making ads about Obama

2) selecting an Alaskan redneck who tried to jail her ex-brother in law and loves shooting wolves

3) Keep reminding you that he was a Vietnam POW

4) declaring that by 2013 the Iraq war would be won and Iraq qould become a democracy.

5) reduce the growth of Medicare ( I do pity the 65 year old plus folks with no more government insurance coverage)


No mention of reducing lobby influence on government policy. No mention of unversal health care systems such as the ones in lovely friendly Canada or the UK. And i do find his friendship and past links to George with the IQ of a retarded hamster quite disturbing.

And that Alaskan bitch is quite a turn off by the way.

I like Obama becos he is a man after my heart. A man who cares about the people and not of his own image. I admit, total withdrawl of troops from Iraq is embarassing, but with a budget of over 20 billion a year, the war (for want of a better name) is too expensive.

Cost of getting medical care in America is bullshittily high, thanks to past presidents and congressmen shaking money coated hands of insurance lobbyists.

Obama is right to start planning on ways to decrease the power of these people. And i back him 110 percent.

You want a reason to support a president? Make sure his policies are FOR you, and not for the image of the nation. And make sure he's NOT got the IQ of a retarded hamster.
