I've downloaded some of the songs of "Borrowed Heaven", the new album by the Corrs (yes, that is copyright infringement, I know, but is me not downloading the songs going to change anything? I'm going to buy the album, no doubt about that). The songs are great, a whole new Corrs style, fresh and clean cut. Seriously, I completely agree with the fact that peer-to-peer sharing increases the desire for one to actually buy music, especially since the quality of music in mp3 form is limited. Well whatever the reason, I still think downloading music from the internet should not be a punishable crime, particularly because no action can be taken against all the millions of those who actually do. Targeting or singleing out a few unfortunate souls is definitely unacceptable. Oh, and the song "The Reason" by Hoobastank (recommended by Kathy) is simply great. Turn up the volume when you listen. lol.
Anyways, good news in the fact that International Weblogger's Day is finally getting somewhere (we crossed 130 people who signed up and 5000 hits and 25 countries!) There's also a bloggers meet planned on June 9th in Penang, Malaysia, which is truly exciting. If only they all knew this thing was thought of by a 17-year old teenager. They'd probably think all of this is a hoax. Luckily its not. Only 8 more days to go, by which time the seniors at my old school (including many of my friends) will have graduated, and by which time I might have done my second SAT (Going as stand-by). Anyways, am awfully happy that things are going well, except that all the seniors are going to leave... I'm going to post a long entry soon about them.
My sky is grey with rain and sighs
but if your paintbrush tips the skies
then instantly its cobalt blue
or deep sea marine or some other hue
because I know that we see
the same endless heavens
the same powerful sun
at night it can only be that we see
the same distant moon
and the same shooting stars
that beckons us from afar
to tell us that
One can only be so distant
to realise how one was so close
Its only when its dark
that lightness seems so necessary
It only takes me to lose you
to realise you're the one I need
The reason is you. To kathy.
