My friend's Mini Pincher, Gon Gon is staying over at my house. His owner had gone to Ipoh and will be back by this Saturday. So I guess I'll have this little asshole following me around the house for the rest of the week.
I only brought him back about 10 hours ago and he had bite a hole on my underwear and peed all over the house. He also bite my pile of books, my socks, the kitchen rag cloth, a stack of cetak rompaks DVDs and whatever that is within his reach.
He only goes to sleep when on my lap.
Once in a while comes an album so good, it feels like a blessing to be able to listen to it. And that is the case for Weezer's second album, Pinkerton. Released in 1996, it is both a critical and commercial failure. However, Pinkerton has stood the test of time and is now regarded as one of the most important album of the decade.
That being said, I have always like Weezer's song such as Troublemaker (Red Album), Island in the Sun (Green Album) and Say It Ain't So (Blue album), just to name a few. They were fun to listen and worthy enough to be on Repeat several times, but ultimately they were nothing to go crazy about. Then comes my discovery on Pinkerton. Never have I become so much of a fan, so fast.
But it is not only me who feels this way. Many have fall in love with Weezer because of Pinkerton and take it as one of their favorite albums. Without a doubt, Weezer had done a good deed and Pinkerton is truly exceptional.
Fast forward to 2009 comes Raditude. It is understandable that people accuse Weezer of spewing Top 40s bullshit and even the most hardcore fan find it difficult to defend them. Listening to the album and each songs in them, even I have to agree. Bottom line, they can do much better musically. But after going through some of their albums and doing a once over for most of their songs, I understand where Weezer is coming from.
The thing is, their songs doesn't just end up in your ear. Listening to Weezer (or any good songs) is an emotional and mental experience. It is all about how it makes you feel and how the song relates to you. It is about how brokenhearted you are and all you want to do is to just pump up the volume and let loose. It is about how you are staring straight into the eyes of your lover in a dying relationship, the moment silenced, and the perfect antidote is to just kiss silently, yet surely. It is about how fucking depress you are lying down on your bed day in day out and wish you are save.
You may think that most songs have this kind of appeal or attributes to them. But actually, they don't. Nothing speak as powerful or as relevant as Weezer does. And it is this that what separates the bullshit.
Raditude may not be Weezer's best work but I'm sure some kid out there is blasting it all out there in full awesomness. That being said, that is no excuse for the track 'Can't Stop Partying'.
This 3 months long semester break is perhaps be the most boring and pathatic ever. I'm two weeks into it and I already ran out of things to do to keep me occupied. Perhaps the only thing I'm looking forward to this break is my trip to Australia.
Although I had several things planned in my head, I never got around to it probably because I've been so depress and unmotivated lately. I know it is true that I can't blame anyone but myself for feeling like this, but I just can't help feeling like a total loser. People always say "look on the bright side of life", "only you can control your own happiness" but honestly guys, enough with the motivational quotes already.
All I hope for is some companionship. A somebody to watch a classic movie and to drink a glass of wine with. Then again, everyone wants something like that in variety. And I'm really asking for too much anyway.
Or am I taking things way too hard than it is? I talk to my friends, I listen to Fatboy Slim and I never stop playing games, I should be glad with my current carefree life. Or is this constant state of carelessness is what made me so unenergetic towards everything. At times I'm technically not alone, but emotionally I am; and that is worst feeling ever.
To be frank, I do not even know what am I so depress about. And probably that is the reason why this is so worrysome.
I'm invited by Nuffnang to watch the screening of Ninja Assassin for my ridiculously embarrassing blog post next Tuesday. But I don't know who to bring me with.. oh well.
