2 in the b*u*s*h

I still haven’t posted the earlier blog-
But by the time you get around to reading this—I will have posted it-
So it really made no difference to you all-
:)

I was listening to 1048 today—the first royal rodale show--:)—it was quite entertaining---also quite bad:)
But lots of fun nevertheless—

I think we generally played better the next year--- the ‘ayaz song’ year—not the ‘mehr song’ year- so theres some obvious improvement there-
I hate listening to recorded shows-
That’s probably why I have such little record of any GB shows either—

Listening to an old concert recording is like going through an old notebook where you had written stuff that you thought was meaningful at some point in your life—which is what I found recently---:) an old notebook—with notes to myself and really bad bad bad songs:P
So I ripped it up and threw it away:)

But you can look back upon something like an old notebook with a certain amount of honesty and laugh at yourself for being so silly---but with these concerts---honestly I know they were better than what is on tape / cd---because we were singing/acting for the moment and reacting off the crowd and each other in that moment and everything put together sounded good---but listening to the music in isolation never does justice to that moment- so I should really just throw these CDs away--:)
---but then theres this fear that with time we’ll forget the good times that came along with that event—so the music—even though its not a good representation--- does act as a catalyst for those memories-
Therefore I hold on to the recordings I have dearly---

And now regret the ones I don’t have:)

What a decent blog this has been!
I should just end it here-

and so it is...

I blog therefore I am
Therefore I very rarely am.

:)

how goes it…faithful reader(s)?

as life would have it

What a pleasant sounding line that is---“as life would have it…”
also “and so it is…”
from that song by damien rice

when I first heard that line---“and so it is…”--I thought it was so amazing—as a concept for a song—that I tried hard to find an alternative in urdu—and if i remember correctly I found something which sounded as sweet/melancholic –but Ive forgotten it now

And so it is…
I remain songless :)

What does he mean?
“And so it is…The colder water---the Blowers daughter”

I don’t think he knows either---but its alright—cos that leaves so much room for interpretation that the song can relate to/move a lot more people-

So what exactly is a Blog supposed to do—maybe I should see some other peoples and get an idea---

Im back!— I just saw mariams---mars that is-:P
Im supposed to copy articles from cosmo???
Hahah hahaha :)

But that’s how mariamhussy is---she normally speaks like that- ‘cosmo’like
:)
most of the gora blogs I don’t get---people spend way to much time doing this—

oh!—speaking of which—ive started jogging in the morning---on the treadmill—
three days without a break--:)
im very proud of myself- and im not going to stop till I get what I want---or get rid of what I don’t want:)

coming back to the blog thingy----I have an idea—next time I write ill choose a topic and write about that---sort of like a lesson for each day---if theres anything in particular you want me to talk about—my loyal readers—let me know:)

right now I should go and try and remember how I post this thing—cos I seem to have forgotten how to do it-:)

much love –

ali.
