My Own Version

Madrid? That's nice.
Yeah, I got one of those Eurail passes, is what I did.
That's great. So, has this trip, around Europe, been good for you?
Yeah, sure, yeah, it's been, umm...it sucked. You know...
Hahaha... What?
No, uh, it's had its, umm. Well, I'll tell ya, you know, sitting, you know, for weeks on end, looking out the window has actually been kinda great.
What do you mean?
Well, you know, for instance, you have ideas that you ordinarily wouldn't have.
What kind of ideas?
You want to hear one?
Yeah, tell me.
Alright, uh, I had this idea, okay?
Um-hmm...
For a television show. Some friends of mine are these cable access producers, do you know what that is, cable access? Umm, I dunno...Anybody can produce a show real cheap, and they have to put it on. Right? And I have this idea for this show that would last twenty-four hours a day for a year straight, right? What you do, is you get three hundred and sixty-four people from cities all over the world, to do these twenty-four hour documents of real time, right, capturing life as it‘s lived. Um, you know, it would start with uh, a guy waking up in the morning, and, uh, you know, taking the long shower, eating a little breakfast, making a little coffee, you know, and, uh, reading the paper.
Wait, wait. All those mundane, boring things everybody has to do every day of their fucking life?
I was going to say the poetry of day to day life, but you know, you say the way you say it, I'll say it the way I say it...
Hahaha... I like that.
No listen, think about it like this...
Who's gonna want to watch this?
Well, alright, think about it like this. Why is it, that a dog, you know, sleeping in the sun, is so beautiful? You know, it is, it‘s beautiful, you know, but a guy, standing at a bank machine, trying to take some money out, looks like a complete moron?
So, it‘s like a National Geographic program, but on people?

Yeah!

There's a wind that blows in from the north,
And it says that loving takes its course.
Come here.
Come here.

No I'm not impossible to touch,
I have never wanted you so much.
Come here.
Come here.

If I never lay down by your side?
Baby, let's forget about this pride.
Come here.
Come here.

Well, I'm in no hurry.
You don't have to run away this time.
I know that you're timid.
But it's gonna be all right this time

Daydream delusion.
Limousine Eyelash.
Oh, baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass.
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me.
Sweet cakes and milkshakes.
I am a delusioned angel.
I am a fantasy parade.
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore.
You have no idea where I came from.
We have no idea where we're going
Launched in life
Like branches in the river.
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current.
I'll carry you. You'll carry me.
That's how it could be.
Don't you know me?

Don't you know me by now?

I do fly. Do you fly?

Terlalu sulit buatku untuk tidak terus-terusan mensyukuri semua yang aku miliki.
Apa adanya.

Kenapa?

Karena ada banyak cerita yang aku dapat dari orang-orang sekitarku.

*Mungkin juga mereka terlalu banyak bercerita tentang hal-hal yang tidak menyenangkan*
Pekerjaan yang membosankan
Bos yang amit-amit
Suami/istri/pacar yang kurang pengertian
Anak bandel

Orangtua/Mertua yang terlalu ikut campur
Menantu kurang sesuai harapan
Uang belanja
Nggak punya waktu buat diri sendiri
Saudara ipar, pembantu, tulang punggung keluarga... you name it!

Kalau akhir-akhir ini, juga gara-gara habis nonton turtles can fly (thanks to Memei!)

Bukan aku nggak ada masalah
Bukan semua mauku berjalan sesuai harapan
Tetapi semua itu jauh...jauh...jauh...banget dibanding semua kemudahan yang kudapat
Hmmm...what a lucky me
Alhamdulillaah....
Alhamdulillaah....
Alhamdulillaah....
