Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)
There is one question I'd really like to ask (One Heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me

One Love - Bob Marley

have been listening to the likes of bruce springsteen [THE BOSS!], bob dylan, bob marley and jimi hendrix. old school music is certainly proving more therapeutic and uplifting nowadays. bob marley telling me 'don't worry, be happy' is a lot more positive and something i need to hear more so than jimmy eat world telling me to 'rip my heart right out'. anyway. it's 12.21. this weekend means serious study time. SERIOUS STUDY TIME. i will do it. i WILL do it. I WILL STUDY.

bruce springsteen said something i really liked. about how he wrote a certain song that was about betrayal - but when you sing songs, they shift meaning. and to someone who's in love, that song means something entirely different and beautiful. even if it's about betrayal. i think it's true.

also, i know this snippet is rather negative, but it's something i particularly remembered [you know, that part in the play you REMEMBER even if you forget everything else, like carol's piece where she said, 'when we find the exit, there will be food, there will be freedom, there will be happiness!] from Closer by Patrick Marber, when asked her opinion of the photography exhibition,

Alice: It's a lie. It's a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully and all the rich fuckers who appreciate art say it's beautiful because that's what they want to see...the exhibition is reassuring, which makes it a lie, and everyone loves a big fat lie.

wonder how nuria, aspiring photog would feel about this. hm.

anyway. to end on a more hopeful note. i will go study now. but i will remember that,

WHEN WE FIND THE EXIT, THERE WILL BE FOOD, THERE WILL BE FREEDOM, THERE WILL BE HAPPINESS!
