Tomorrow we'll see
(a song i knew from Karembu.. it's by Sting and i luuuuuv its depth and meaning.. Sting is also a luv of mine i learned from Du, but that's another story.. sorry for no real post.. but i am really loaded.. soon soon :) don't be confused by the lyrics, he talks from _her_ point)
The streets are wet
The lights have yet
To shed their tawdry luster on the scene
My skirt's too short
My tights have run
These new heels are killing me
My second pack of cigarettes
It's a slow night, but there's time yet
Here comes john from his other life
He may be driving to his wife
But he'll slow down take a look
I've learned to read them just like books
And it's already half past ten
But they'll be back again
Headlights in the rainy street
I check, make sure it's not the heat
I wink, I smile, I wave my hand
He stops and seems to understand
The small transaction we must make
I tell him that my heart will break
If he's not a generous man
I step into his van
They say the first is the hardest trick
And after that it's just a matter of logic
They have the money I have the time
Being pretty's my only crime
You ask what future do I see
I say it's really up to me
I don't need forgiving
I'm just making a living
Don't judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Don't judge me
One more night I'll just have to take my chances
And tomorrow we'll see
A friend of mine, he wound up dead
His dress is stained the color red
The next of kin, no fixed abode
Another victim on this road
The police just carted him away
But someone took his place next day
He was home by Thanksgiving
But not with the living
Don't judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Don't judge me
One more night I'll just have to take my chances
I know it's just not in my plan
For someone to care who I am
I'm walking the streets for money
It's the business of love, "hey honey,"
C'mon, don't leave me lonely, don't leave me sad
It'll be the sweetest five minutes you ever had
Don't judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Don't judge me
One more night I'll just have to take my chances
And tomorrow we'll see
The streets are wet
The lights have yet
To shed their tawdry luster on the scene
My skirt's too short

Let's Call the Whole Thing Off
(Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.. just to get what they're talking about.. for instance in "You say either and I say either", the 1st is "Eether" & the 2nd is "Aither" ;) ~Enjoy!)
Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing flat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that,
Goodness knows what the end will be
Oh I don't know where I'm at
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done:
You say either and I say either,
You say neither and I say neither
Either, either Neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off.
You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto.
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas,
I'll wear pyjamas and give up pyajahmas
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing off.
You say laughter and I say larfter
You say after and I say arfter
Laughter, larfter after arfter
Let's call the whole thing off,
You like vanilla and I like vanella
You saspiralla, and I saspirella
Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh if we call the whole thing of then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So if you go for oysters and I go for ersters
I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.
I say father, and you say pater,
I saw mother and you say mater
Pater, mater Uncle, auntie let's call the whole thing off.
I like bananas and you like banahnahs
I say Havana and I get Havahnah
Bananas, banahnahs Havana, Havahnah
Go your way, I'll go mine
So if I go for scallops and you go for lobsters,
So all right no contest we'll order lobseter
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.

Scenes from a Memory
(note: if you're too lazy to read, just skim it and scroll down to the lyrics.. i particularly like the meaningfulness of the last one :))
Dream Theater is an American progressive metal/rock band formed by three students at the Berklee College of Music in the mid-1980s. In the twenty years since their inception, they have become the most commercially successful progressive band since the height of progressive rock in the mid-1970s, despite being relatively unknown in mainstream pop and rock circles.
they have this crazy crazy guitarist, John Petrucci and a drummer from another universe, Mike Portnoy (check the link above for further details..)
Anyway, so i learned about Dream Theater, progressive metal & prog rock, off-beats and all that, all at one time, and i kept practicing this knowledge on what i heard for DT.. my 1st experience was the album Scenes from a Memory..
Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory, released in 1999, is Dream Theater's fifth studio album. It is a concept album that deals with the story of Nicholas and the discovery of his past life, which involves love, murder and infidelity as Victoria Page.
As its name might imply, Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory is a sequel; it follows "Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle And The Sleeper", a song from the band's second album, Images and Words. However, when naming Metropolis Pt. 1 the band's intention was not to write a two part epic - it was intended as a joke. Only after continuous pleas from fans did the band begin working on "Part 2".
In general, what i loved about it was that its mainly a guy at his psychiatrist going through hypnosis and remembering his story, so u hear the "tic-toc" of the hypnotising thing quite often, and in "Regression" you it's almost all the hypnosis procedure.... It's mainly a hypnostist and our protagonist, Nicholas.. telling the story of his love to Victoria, her infidelity with his brother, and his revenge.
For anyone who's interested, here is the track listing...
Scene One: Regression (2:06) (music and lyrics by Petrucci)
Scene Two: I. Overture 1928 (3:37) (Dream Theater, instrumental)
Scene Two: II. Strange Deja Vu (5:12) (Dream Theater, Portnoy)
Scene Three: I. Through My Words (1:02) (Petrucci)
Scene Three: II. Fatal Tragedy (6:49) (Dream Theater, Myung)
Scene Four: Beyond This Life (11:22) (Dream Theater, Petrucci)
Scene Five: Through Her Eyes (5:29) (Dream Theater, Petrucci)
Scene Six: Home (12:53) (Dream Theater, Portnoy)
Scene Seven: I. The Dance of Eternity (6:13) (Dream Theater, instrumental)
Scene Seven: II. One Last Time (3:46) (Dream Theater, LaBrie)
Scene Eight: The Spirit Carries On (6:38) (Dream Theater, Petrucci)
Scene Nine: Finally Free (11:59) (Dream Theater, Portnoy)
i loved Scenes 1, 5, 7 (part II), 8, 9. i cant recall the rest, but its possible i liked some of them too..
1. Scene One: Regression
[H:]
"Close your eyes and begin to relax. Take a deep breath, and let it out
slowly. Concentrate on your breathing. With each breath you become more
relaxed. Imagine a brilliant white light above you, focusing on this light as
it flows through your body. Allow yourself to drift off as you fall deeper and
deeper into a more relaxed state of mind. Now as I count backward from ten to
one, you will fill more peaceful, and calm. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. You
will enter a safe place where nothing can harm you. Five. Four. Three. Two. If
at any time you need to came back, all you must do is open your eyes. One."
[N:]
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My subconscious mind
Starts spinning through time
To rejoin the past once again
Nothing seems real
I`m starting to feel
Lost in the haze of a dream
And as I draw near
The scene becomes clear
Like watching my life on a screen
Hello Victoria so glad to see you
My friend
Scene Seven: The Spirit Carries On
[N:]
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?
They say " Life is too short"
"The here and the now"
And " You`re only given one shot"
But could there be more
Have I lived before
Or could this be all that we`ve got?
If I die tomorrow
I`d be allright
Because I believe
That after we`re gone
The spirit carries on
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I`m not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend
I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try
If I die tomorrow
I`d be allright
Because I believe
That after we`re gone
The spirit carries on
[V:]
"Move on, be brave
Don`t weep at my grave
Because I`m no longer here
But please never let
Your memories of me disappear"
[N:]
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has help me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria`s real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I`m here
It`s perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
If I die tomorrow
I`d be allright
Because I believe
That after we`re gone
The spirit carries on

The truth about cats and dogs..
hmmm... first of all, if you check the pic in the previous blog, the stupid white things on our tops/shirts are stupid big name tags (duh! "and you were hmmmmm... *looks at name tag* ah.. Nagya".. "no its pronounced Nageyya not Nagya but thanks for reading" ~fictional situation)
anyhow.. about the title, forget it.. just defending cats..
Miaow!
now that i decided to blog, i dont feel like writing... i wrote a lot in Kareem Mostafa's blog today, an interesting topic he had :)
i dont feel like writing at all!!! please everyone, wish me luck.. wish me patience.. and pray for me that i dont have the physics effect in a current task i should be working on.. (the physics effect is a reaction i developed to studying physics, whereby i slept whenever i held the physics book)... i try to evade things i dont like.. i should confront them, face my fears.. am a survivor (or at least thats what my name says!)
salut..

1602
I was hesitant between a number of titles for my blog today:
* 1602
* Office Space
* (something else that i forgot!)
Let me elaborate.. since i chose 1602 for the title, i will explain "Office Space" first :)
Office Space is a very cool movie that everyone who works in the corporate world (esp. the IT one) will relate to one way or the other.. i wont proceed to talk about the movie.. but there is this character, Milton, who is hilarious.. they were downsizing, so they fire him, but they pity him sooo much that no one bothers to tell him and they just let him at his desk... Milton (who has a fishy infatuation with his stapler) keeps doing nothing like always.. at one point they need his space so they move him to another crammed space, then this keeps going on until they move him to the store, turn off the light and just leave him there.. and all throughout, he really doesnt sense any danger :)
Why am I mentioning this now? Because Monday i was moved to my 345435th place since i came here :) when i first came, i sat at a desk of someone who was in Hijj.. then i went to a place between two places (imagine two L-shaped cubicles, i was in the shared area), then i moved to a place in a nice cubicle but 2 floors above my dept, then i move back again with my dept, then now i moved back 2 floors up but at the very far end.. and next week i will move back to the right floor :) AND i still havent been here 6 months!! the thing is, they have this idea here that ppl from the same project should sit together... i actually think its really smart.. but i lose because i dont actually work closely with someone else... so am the lightest move :)
1602 ba'a............................. Karim-Bo sent me a msg a couple of days ago when we were in Hurghada saying that he sent me something but he regrets it because he thinks am not going to like it.. i go like "no no i'll like anything from you" and i think to myself its too early to wonder now.. lets wait a week or so.. Anyhow, so yesterday (Monday) i come back from the trip to find loooooooooads of stuff... my machine is disconnected, i dont know where my new place is, some stuff i arranged was about to be cancelled without my knowledge blablabla.... So, in the middle of a hectic rough tough day, a colleague here comes up to me, hands me something and says "Dia Helmy sent you this".. i tell her "Dia? sent me? (then i understand) eshta thank you".... soooooo, i look at it AND it is......................... A MARVEL COMIC BY NEIL GAIMAN!!!!
i luv luv luv it!
all Marvel characters (The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, and X-Men) who initiated in 60's America are set in the 17-century England the Neil Gaiman way!! :) it is MEGA cool...
i luv the book... Karim you are _da_ man!
and Adam's Mom, i luuuuuuuuuv Adam's Dad... he is sooooooooooo very nice and friendly to everyone (i went to introduce myself, he warmly greated me before he knew who i was :))
Enough for now, but Karim, Thou Hast Mine Gratefulness Forever!

Because Monday i was moved to my 345435th place since i came here :) when i first came, i sat at a desk of someone who was in Hijj.. then i went to a place between two places (imagine two L-shaped cubicles, i was in the shared area), then i moved to a place in a nice cubicle but 2 floors above my dept, then i move back again with my dept, then now i moved back 2 floors up but at the very far end.. and next week i will move back to the right floor :) AND i still havent been here 6 months!! the thing is, they have this idea here that ppl from the same project should sit together... i actually think its really smart.. but i lose because i dont actually work closely with someone else... so am the lightest move :)
1602 ba'a............................. Karim-Bo sent me a msg a couple of days ago when we were in Hurghada saying that he sent me something but he regrets it because he thinks am not going to like it.. i go like "no no i'll like anything from you" and i think to myself its too early to wonder now.. lets wait a week or so.. Anyhow, so yesterday (Monday) i come back from the trip to find loooooooooads of stuff... my machine is disconnected, i dont know where my new place is, some stuff i arranged was about to be cancelled without my knowledge blablabla.... So, in the middle of a hectic rough tough day, a colleague here comes up to me, hands me something and says "Dia Helmy sent you this".. i tell her "Dia? sent me? (then i understand) eshta thank you".... soooooo, i look at it AND it is......................... A MARVEL COMIC BY NEIL GAIMAN!!!!
i luv luv luv it!
all Marvel characters (The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, and X-Men) who initiated in 60's America are set in the 17-century England the Neil Gaiman way!! :) it is MEGA cool...
i luv the book... Karim you are _da_ man!
and Adam's Mom, i luuuuuuuuuv Adam's Dad... he is sooooooooooo very nice and friendly to everyone (i went to introduce myself, he warmly greated me before he knew who i was :))
