Somewhere over...

To quote Ferris Bueler's Day Off,
"What are we going to do today?"
"The question you should be asking is, what AREN'T we going to do today?"
That about sums up the blur of the weekend hehe.

I was talking to ALG, and she told be the background story of the Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Check out this mp3 here. It's an 8MB file so it's a bit large. I first heard this song watching an episode of ER. It was the episode where Dr. Green dies so whenever I hear it, I associate it with a really sad event. Reading Israel's background to it's even more sad, at the same time there can be some happiness found there. It's a bit complicated to explain I guess. Either way, I dig it, and it's sad that he died but his ashes were spread into the ocean of his homeland which sounds like a good way to finally be at peace.

A special mention to a friend of mine who is currently going through cancer treatments starting today. There's respect and admiration for anyone that has to go through and endure the things you have to and remember if you need someone to talk to, that's why the phone was invented. Sorry I can't do much else right now, but all we can do in life is try our best and do what we can right? Keep your chin up, you're stubborn enough to make it through and your palm reading sounded much better than mine afterall.

I'm going to go home after work.. maybe take a nap.. or just play more World of Warcraft hehehe... awesome.

This Wed I'm going to join Haruka in SF. I'll have to promise that I'll keep the hitting on of her younger sister and her friends to a minimum hehe.

There's probably more I have on my mind right now.. but lack of sleep and the impending workload being forced on me beckons.

Lates,

Israel K - Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?
