‘How to live forever’
Posted by haynhi on 26/09/2009
My first attempt at a serious post here. The last week was spent juggling all the technical balls to make the site look decent.
Okie, how to live forever? What a question! We all know that no one and nothing last forever. But let me tell you the story I just read. Borrowed it for my son but the book tittle just teased me so much that I could not help reading it.
'To live forever is not to live at all'
It’s about a boy, Peter, who together with his cat named Brian set out to search for a lost book in the library where Peter and Brian lived. They kept searching and searching until their efforts led them to a place that looked like paradise.
There Peter saw four old men who knew that he was coming for the lost book ‘How to Live Forever, or Immortality for Beginners.
Having seen the book shown to him by the old men, Peter said to them:
‘It doesn’t work, does it?’
‘Oh yes, it works,” one of the old men said, then they led Peter through a Chinese garden (boy, anything is Chinese these days) to see the ‘Ancient Child’.
The Ancient Child immediately said to Peter: ”You mustn’t read it. It will drive you mad.”
He continued: ”I was younger than you when I found it and I couldn’t read it fast enough.
”Then while my friends grew up I stayed like this.
”They grow out of toys and fell in love. They married and had children and all I could do was sit and watch.
”Now I am frozen in time.”
Then the Ancient Child concluded: ”To live forever is not to live at all. That’s why I hid the book.”
Peter asked him why he did not just burn the book.
Can you guess why?

Hotel California
Posted by haynhi on 26/09/2009
Hotel California (Eagles)
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
?this could be heaven or this could be hell?
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say…
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain,
‘Please bring me my wine’
He said, ‘we haven?t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say…
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin? it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ?we are all just prisoners here, of our own device?
And in the master?s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can?t kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
?relax,? said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody(Live)
…
Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now he’s dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-
Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all-
….

Hey There Delilah

Hey There Delilah by Plain White T
Hey there Delilah
What’s it like in New York City?
I’m a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true
This one by Kaiser Chiefs is nice too – Ruby
Due to lack of interest
Tomorrow is canceled…

Frozen
Posted by haynhi on 25/09/2009
Frozen – Madonna
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
Youre frozen
When your hearts not open
Youre so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
Youre broken
When your hearts not open
Now theres no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
Youre frozen
When your hearts not open
Love Profusion – Madonna
