All in all, my granddad's place still rules. As I said, this place houses a lot of history. 4 generations have a connection to this house and it feels good to be here knowing that I'm a part of that. And it's good to spend all this time with my granddad. He's in his early 90's and it's not very good to be alone at such an age. So I kinda feel there's a bit of reason as to why we are staying here at all.
There's also another great reason why I love this house. Well 2 actually. My granddad used to do a lot of gardening in the past and among other things that this house has, it has a coconut tree and a rambutan tree. Cool huh?
I took this pic above a week ago. They are ripe now and hang exactly outside the living room window behind my couch.
I found this cool website called Muzicons.com off of WebWare.com. It creates this simple widget for playing MP3s on your website or blog or even to post on a forum. What I liked about it the most was it's simplicity in customisation, something getting ever so impossible these days. My only gripe with the Muzicon widget is that it does not have an option to activate auto-play on load.
I posted a song on the sidebar by Mayday Parade called Jamie All Over. I've been listening to this song almost non-stop. It's a nice song that I got from the 2008 Warped Tour Compilation that I bought recently. Very upbeat and great vocals. I also like the meaning behind it. It speaks about 2 things: falling in love, though in dreams, and not wanting to let go of it. Sort of a simpler and more way to look at our fantasies. I actually feel that there is some overlapping notions in the song that I have experienced before, if you catch my drift. So yeah, just click play if you wanna listen in on what plays in my head.
Jamie All Over by Mayday Parade
I had a dream last night we
Drove out to see Las Vegas
We lost ourselves in the bright lights
I wish you could have seen us
Begging for change to get home
Or at least San Francisco
We put a ten on the high card
And spent a summer on the west coast
Down and to the left
(Here's a map and a pen, this place, let's point it out)
We can't live four years past
(All I ask, all I ask)
And please don't tell me that I'm dreamin'
When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you
Fire all over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories
We made love by the ocean
As the waves crashed around you
The sunset's never were so bright
And the skies they were so blue
You opened up into my arms
And we laughed as I held you
I'll never go back to Georgia
Not at least 'till I have to
Down and to the left

And wake up with the fondest memories
Memories
