Yesterday I was so depressed I went on a long expedition in search of Radiohead's In Rainbows in the evening, similar to the one I had undertaken around five years ago in order to buy Ok Computer.I was feeling rather sad so I figured an hour going round on a rickety old bus in the gray sticky weather with my mp3 headphones stuck into my ears would do no harm. All the shops in Valletta did not have it. One particular salesman acted as if he did not know it was their latest album, which probably means he did not know it is their latest album, which makes him rather.. um.. inappropriate for his own job. I'm not one to ride on a ridiculous high horse and think Radiohead are uber cool and everyone should like them BUT I do expect someone who works at a record shop to know that a band as famous as Radiohead released an album. Nyways, I had nothing better to do so caught the bus off to Baystreet. The salesman there was refreshingly more knowledgeable but this led him to purchase the last copy of the album himself, so I headed back home with the promise that more copies were on the way. As you might have realised, I'm going through a bit of lull in the business of making myself happy. I don't know if the cocktail of Conrad, Radiohead and The Dark Knight OST is to blame, but I'm more inclined to think of it as a symptom of my glaring inability to make my life mean anything. I feel so tired and lethargic all the time, and I'm fed up of the same old places. I realised that what I really wanna do after I finish my degree is go get a Masters in Britain, but that sounds like impossibly hard and expensive. Besides I do think I'm a bit too lazy to take my studies that notch higher. And I know that I'll still do bally naught with a Masters as regards employability, but at least I'll be specialising in what I love and living in another country for a while. But knowing me I just won't have the guts :(
Before I leave I have to show you this: This guy is 40 friggin years old. And he's more handsome than ever. AND he plays in one of the best bands ever! Why aren't there more like him?
Till next time

hehe nice tastes :) I like radiohead too!
migHey mah friend, welcome to my world with regards to not seeming to be able to make your life mean anything :(
BUT that's where the similarity ends. If going to study to Britian is what you want to do then DO IT. You know you're good. And don't bother doing it to increase your job opportunities or whatever. Just do it for yourself. And do NOT chicken out. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. You are only as good as you yourself say you are. So if you say you can do it, you WILL do it. El, this is one goal of yours that I'm going to make sure that you do not forget and that you do NOT chicken out from.
And that's a promise.
Only one of us is allowed to feel disillusiond in life at a time hehe. The other needs to be there to pick the other one up ;)
Radiohead Fail!
Try a more happy sunshiney band like REM hah.
Caw pups
