Speed of light

We live our lives

like the speed of light.

Still, there's beauty in it.

Fret not.

Before it fizzles out,

slow down the shutter,

and admire the beauty

that these light streaks bring.

Words gave life to light.

Like old wine that gets better with age.

Ryan Giggs just gets better and better as he turns 36 today.

I find this a perfect cliché to describe this footballer as a...

Legend.

Day

We all grow up don't we?

It is the day the calendar is dedicated to us.

It is the day you choose to become a man from a boy.

It is the day you choose to become a woman from a girl.

It is the day you look at your life, and ask yourself some questions.

It is the day you leave the past.

It is the day you move on to the future.

It is the day you celebrate.

It is called... Birthday.

Test your might

You have to

fight your way

through the day,

to get to the night.

Then after the night,

You have to

fight your way

through the day.

Hay

In this needle and haystack life,

I found miracles there in your eyes.

Lining

Without music,

life would be a mistake.

Without dreams,

wouldn't life be a mistake too?

Many times when we chase after our dreams,

we may end up falling flat on our faces,

we may end up walking with tails in between our legs,

or we may realised it is not what we wanted.

A good idea is not enough.

An inspiration is not enough.

Being motivated is not enough.

The best dream in your life,

is the one who finds you.

The only place where dreams can find you.

Why?

1) I don't know.

3) I don't know.
4) I don't know.
5) I don't know.
6) I don't know.
7) I don't know.
8) I only know this is life.

Light Messengers

Stay bright, little fireflies.

Make light before my eyes.

We tell the story

In every good story,

there are questions and conflict,

battles to fight,

there are lessons to learn,

and beauty to find.

We believe that each of us gets to tell a story with our lives,

and that perhaps we're all connected

in some strange and simple way,

in this life together and part of a bigger thing.

A dream within a dream

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

Would you like you, if you met you?

Good morning.

Heavy and Light

The show begins with words,

Because we believe that words are powerful.

There will also be a lot of music.

Because music suggest it's okay to be honest.

And because music reminds us that we're alive.

We're glad that you're alive.

We're glad that you're in this room.

Tonight has never happened before.

This is not a benefit show.

This is not "Come on out for a good cause."

This an attempt to move you.

Our desire is to invite you into a conversation

that will continue long after the show is over.

Consider the following:

Your story is important.

Your life matters.

You are not the only one who hurts.

You are not the only one with questions.

You are not the only one who dreams.

You are not alone.

Every person in the room,

Every person who stands on that stage:

We are all people in need.

People need other people.

We probably don't have to convince 

you that pain is real.

But in the face of that,

We want you to know that

Hope is real, and that help is real.

  

Welcome to Heavy and Light.

An outlet

What I need now:

Some headbanging music will do fine. (Not heavy metal)

BPL Champions 08/09

CHAMPIONS!

It's not how you start. It's how you end.

Sir Alex Ferguson.

23 years at Manchester United, and still going strong.

It's okay to say real things.

Maybe this applies to all of us.

It's been said that "All the world's a stage."

We all have an audience.

We all have some kind of influence.

We all have a story and a voice.

Our lives are our songs.

Our hearts are our songs. 

It's okay to ask real questions.

It's okay to say real things.

Let's make things that matter and move, and let's chase after those things as well.

Some will seek forgivness, others escape

I could not fathom what I heard.

I tried to control, but I could not.

It just hit me, wave after wave.

It's the truth, it's the reality.

Bought off the Auction, and left Scandalon.

Some will seek forgivness, others escape.

I heard a voice through the discord
A deluge of passersby
I saw one gaze frozen in time
Watching me passing by

I swear I'll know your face in the crowd
And I'll hear your voice so loud
When you're whispering

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another

Here's my kiss to betray
Desperate to brush the lips of grace
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I lied?

Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me
Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey unloving
I will love you
And will love you

Jesus I'm ready to come home
I'm ready to come
Jesus I'm ready to come home
Unfaithful
Ungraceful
And unloving
I will love you

Underoath - Too Bright To See Too Loud To Hear

*You might wanna turn up the volume for this video.

Good God,

If Your song leaves our lips
If Your work leaves our hands
Then we will be wanderers and vagabonds
They will stare and see how empty we are
Now the freedom we had turned us up as dead men

Let us be cold, make us weak
Let us because we all have ears
Let us because we all have eyes
Good God,

How they knew that this would happen (we're so run down)

Good God, can You still get us home...

How can we still get home
I'm not dreaming
We're forgetting our forgiveness.

There came a lion

Music videos by one of my favourite bands, Ivoryline! Woohoo!

AVP

HAHAHA!

Where the wild things are

Inside all of us is... Hope.

Inside all of us is... Fear.

Inside all of us is... Adventure.

Inside all of us is a Wild Thing.

When?

Do you ever have a normal day?

Yeah. Once. It was a Thursday.

On this Saturday, a global election is taking place.

An election between earth and global warming.

It's not about what country you're from, your light switch is your vote.

We're aiming for 1 billion votes for earth, because our planet is worth saving.

Vote earth, by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Saturday March 28th, 2009, 8.30-9.30pm.

2712 cities, towns and municipalities in 83 countries have committed to support this initiative.

For that one hour, for that one flick of a switch, you can make a difference.

Just one

How close to home must a crisis hit before it really hurts? Or do we just have to be hit by a whole slew of crises before we even flinch?
If we take a step and look at the big picture, we probably haven't seen a worse time for all these tragedies to be unfolding- and simultaneously too. 
It seems like the perfect storm.
If we try, we may even catch a glimpse of it as it passes.

Maybe just that 'one' person will get his arse off the chair and start doing someting.

The world will be a better place, if everybody is that 'one' person.

Pulling all your threads

If it's a broken part, replace it.
If it's a broken arm, brace it.
If it's a broken heart, face it.

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way.

My sundown

The climate is changing,
So are human beings.
Are we feeling the effects of it?
I really do not know.

With one hand high
You'll show them your progress
You'll take your time
But no one cares
No one cares
No one cares

I need you to show me the way from crazy
I wanna be so much more than this.

You got something?

In 1865, Colonel Sanders sat down on the porch of his house rocking in a rocking chair, and received his first Social Security Check. And thought: "This is horrible, am I gonna sit here for the rest of my life waiting for a Social Security Check?"

So he wrote down all the list of things he had in his life, and there were 65 in total. One of those things was his mother's fried chicken recipe. With 11 herbs and spices, a secret in a family tradition, he took a whole lot of it, and went down to a local restaurant. And asked the owner, "You mind if I just cook this chicken and put it on your menu and see if people like it?" The owner replied, "Sure, go ahead." Sanders said, "Okay, I'll do it for free." He did it, and it was a hit, such a hit, that it started a worldwide phenomenon called, "KFC".

Now there's millions of people, a whole lot fatter, a whole lot of chickens, a whole lot better. Because of that recipe.

Just what have you got?

I belong to Stretford End

Sometimes, I wished I was a kid back then,
playing football around like nobody's business.
So that I don't have to put up with all this shit.

Oh well...

Times

I hear You say,
"My love is over. It's underneath.
It's inside. It's in between.
The times you doubt Me, when you can't feel.
The times that you question, 'Is this for real?'
The times you're broken.
The times that you mend.
The times that you hate Me, and the times that you bend.
Well, My love is over, it's underneath.
It's inside, it's in between.
These times you're healing, and when your heart breaks.
The times that you feel like you're falling from grace.
The times you're hurting.
The times that you heal.
The times you go hungry, and are tempted to steal.
The times of confusion, in chaos and pain.
I'm there in your sorrow, under the weight of your shame.
I'm there through your heartache.
I'm there in the storm.
My love I will keep you, by My power alone.
I don't care where you fall, where you have been.
I'll never forsake you, My love never ends.
It never ends."

A cycle

This is a cycle that we will experience every 12 years.
We can't run away from it.
We just grit our teeth and face it.
So brave the storm with your loved ones.
Just know that it's only temporary.

On the other hand...

A lost generation?

Waves

Sometimes, I just wish for the waves...

Love him or hate him

A thought

"We who fight for our dream suffer far more when it doesnt work out, because we cannot fall back on the old excuse: "Oh, well, i didnt really want it anyway." We do want it and know that we have staked everything on it and that the path of the personal calling is no easier than any other path, except that our whole heart is in this journey. Then, we warriors of light must be prepared to have patience in difficult times and to know that the Universe is conspiring in our favor, even though we may not understand how."


- The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Rub your eyes

So I was taking a break from all my school work, and I decided to look at some photos that I took last year.
Well, I came across this:

Colors. They add a different dimension to life.

It either makes or breaks your life.

For goodness sake,

Make It Count.

Plans

So we've reached 2009.
All I'm going to say is,

"I've made plans to break plans, and I've been planning something big."
