So… this is funny! But sad too…
To me at least. Mostly because I’ve taken a class on this and actually understand what a merge sort is. Sigh.
Somebody That I Used To Know
Video of Good Music == Good.
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
[Kimbra:]
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done
And I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
[Gotye:]
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
And you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you’re just somebody that I used to know)
AND – a live version: just for kicks. If tall scrawny dark haired guys like him can make it in music and make it look this good – there’s hope for me somewhere.
Oh You Know
Hello World,
It’s that time of year where I write you about my semester and how everything went and apologize for not writing more because things got in the way and blah blah blah.
I plan on doing very little/none of that. Nothing really that interesting is happening. I go home for Christmas on Sunday, stay for a while and come back and start school again. Yay.
I feel like I can summarize my entire semester into one sentence: “Oh you know.” I wasn’t “good”, or “great” or “bad” or whatever. Just, you know. It beats saying “meh” or “I’m fine” or some kind of other phrase that has negative connotations generally imply somethings wrong.
It’s what got me through the last few months and how I responded to just about everyone when they asked me how I was doing. Because really, the people you see in class and don’t talk to on a day to day basis don’t really care how you are. It’s just a greeting and a way to start or avoid conversation. So by saying “oh you know”, I allow people to assume that I’m that typical university stressed out of my brains life is hectic kind of thing. Not saying that my life wasn’t like that – it’s just not worth it to explain that to everyone.
I think that there was only one person who ever said to me that they didn’t understand what “you know” means. I’m not sure if I should find that depressing or interesting.
In short that’s my semester. It was pretty much like yours – but nothing exciting. I did take on a managing position with my recording stuff, which made life that much more stressful and what have you.
I’m gonna try and do a bit more writing now that school is done, and make a “My favourite albums of 2011″ post soon and a review of Amy Wood’s “Cinnamon Heart”. Christmas soon and more things to come.
So – how are you doing?
