Stay
It's been a week since I last wrote. Since the last time I travelled back to KL for two days of hanging out with family, friends and getting some. It was tiring because I spent so much time on buses to travelingl back and forth. Two days to go to KL is tiring, not enough time to do much.
Believe or not I got sick again! The day after coming back here, I had fever- teh second time in the past two weeks. What's wqrong with me?
Been hanging out alot with Mike, just chilling at home, outside and talking about his realtionship problems. Poor dude. Falling in love is a bitch. Being in a relationship is a bitch. Liking and caring for someone else can be torture.
Bring out the ball and chain, and throw away all your romanticised thoughts about love, dude. Love is a lotta hard work, and a lotta heartache. Spoken like a true loveless person.
Love was also the theme to "Before Sunset"a movie from two years ago staring Etahn Hawke and Julie Delpy. Bliss. Two hours of conversation: quirkiness, comedy, drama, and a sing-a-long guitar song, performed by Delpy. I love the movie! I loved when I first watched it, I love it again now.
I love the idea that both characters lost their idea of romantic love when they last met ten years previously. Hawke's chareacter got into a loveless marriage and had a son. Delpy became joined an environment activist group, and has been unlucky with relationships.
And now they were there, in Paris. Delpy's character Celine attends Jesse's (Hawke) book signing in a book store. And the book is about, guess what? That night ten years ago when they met in Prague, the moment they spend the whole night talking and falling in love and just soaking up the sights (refer to the film Before Sunrise-2005).
Now both Jesse and Celine are much thinner and more wiser (or so they think). They spend the entire afternoon talking about nearly everything. Celine gets frustrated and angry when she talks about the relationships she since that magical night with Jesse. "All my ex-boyfriends thank me for showing them love. For showing them how to treat a woman!" she tells Jesse in sobs.
And how about Jesse? Well this man has been having dreams of Celine so many times that it's become a sin. "Why didn't we exchange phone numbers back then?" laments Jesse.
"Because we were young and stupid" replies Celine. And honey, looking at Hawke and Delpy in the first movie ten year ago, Before Sunrise, they were very young and look stupidly good looking. Imagine Ethan Hawke circa 1993/94 with his longish hair and goatie (remember the movie Reality Bites with Winona Ryder?). And Delpy all snug in her hippie style.
A great song from that time (1994, to be exact) is Stay (I Missed You) by Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories.
Stay (I Missed You)....sing this song when thinking about your love, or when you become nostalgic about the grungy mid-90s
you say i only hear what i want to.
you say i talk so all the time so.
and i thought what i felt was simple,
and i thought that i don't belong,
and now that i am leaving,
now i know that i did something wrong 'cause i missed you.
yeah, i missed you.
and you say i only hear what i want to:
i don't listen hard,
i don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
or to anyone, anywhere,
i don't understand if you really care,
i'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.
so i turned the radio on, i turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
the lover's in love, and the other's run away,
the lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.
some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born.
well, this is not that:
i think that i'm throwing, but i'm thrown.
and i thought I'd live forever, but now i'm not so sure.
you try to tell me that i'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.
you said that i was naive,
and i thought that i was strong.
i thought, "hey, i can leave, i can leave."
but now i know that i was wrong, 'cause i missed you.
you said, "i caught you 'cause i want you and one day i'll let you go."
"you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just scared to lose.
and you say, "stay."
you say i only hear what i want to.
