whenever it rains i feel this way
a little something to get me thorugh this day
give me a little that, no time flat
it's gonna be a good thing

serene but in need of feelin free
letting go and landing on my feet
brushed the dirt off my back no time flat
gonna be a good thing

well people believe this saying is true
whatever will be will forever do
whatever the cost i'll pay in full
i ain't got nothing to do with you

gotta get out gotta get out of here
i'm in the dark, and the light looks sincere
brushed the dirt off my back no time flat
gonna be a good thing

all you do is complain about your pain
and the cloud that follows you won't cease to rain
dont look back handle that
make it into a good thing

something up in me gotta be
sole controller in control of me
a link in your chain, just won't do
i don't want nothin' to do with you

well people believe this saying is true
whatever will be will forever do
whatever the cost i'll pay in full
i want nothing to do with you

HAY(na)KU!

So I was "surfing" around the internet and came across a Filipino take on the traditional haiku called "Hay(na)ku". *eye shift*

For more on the background of hay(na)ku, check out eileen tabios' blog.

I think this is an interesting take on traditional haiku poems. I understand haikus as being able to say the most in a limited space.

Hay(na)ku poems, like haikus, consist of three lines. Haikus, however, have 5-7-5 syllable restrictions while hay(na)ku's have 1-2-3 word restrictions. The first line having 1 word, the second line having 2 words, and the third line containing 3 words.

I'm still a little confused as to how this form relates to Filipinos though...

Hay(na)kus about summer school

she sits and burns another
cold brick steps serve as her lover
burnt out like her escape
her light begins to fade
if she could only step outside her body
and see that she will be somebody
her constant meditations
of her desired destination
will not be in vain
and she'll light again
not to sip lit sticks of cancer
but a rather, a new escape:
discovering answers to the question of herself

in life, there is always one step ahead of you and one step behind you

Thanks Robyn.

I think I need some constant reminder of our purpose. Some sort of reminder that I'm part of life's sequence, pattern.

Discourse on the above quote proved fruitful.

r.e.s.p.c.t.

I was reading this URB article asking people what their "Least memorable moments of Coachella" were.

One of them was part of the cleanup crew for the festival.

"People throwing up all over the place: People should have respect for those who make minimum wage and clean up after you just so that you can had fun."

Ouch.

who's house??? run's house!!!

Apartment hunting yesterda
