I'm positively astounded by my own stupidity sometimes. Today I needed a couple of certified copies, so I head up to the book store where they do this. On the way, I make my way through five hundred thousand people. College just started this week, the place is literally packed, there's enough people to body surf. And I head to the book store at lunch, *the* most busy time of the day. Why I couldn't have gone right after they open or right before they close eludes me. Instead, I'm standing in line behind 12 people at the checkout counter to pay my 20 bucks for some copies. Surprisingly, the line was moving quickly (there was also a cute girl in the second line to stare at, in the Eva Mendez mould). To top it off, I almost lost my key card. When I took out my wallet, my key card got caught in the mix and fell on the floor. That is after I expressely reminded myself to make sure it doesn't fall out when I take out my wallet some 2 minutes earlier.

Some days are like that, right? You set out to do a couple of things and by the end you haven't done anything. It starts off by saying I'm not gonna start doing that right away, I'll just do this for a while first. Then you end up doing this for way longer than you intended. And once you realize it, you're completely demoralized and don't feel like doing anything, in fact going back to bed sounds just about right.

Today is like that, I don't even remember what I planned to do today but it's been totally unproductive. What also messes is up is the weather, a sunny day and I got the rays from the sun right in my window, heating up the room and leaving a glare on the monitor. So I'm not comfortable and I'm too hot. Can't draw the curtains either cause I gotta keep the window open to air out the room (the window opens inwards, which is totally inconvenient cause I can't have it open and have the curtains drawn simultaneously).

Oh that's right, my bike is broke again, last week I was speeding and I hit a curb going quite fast. I tried to get on the pavement where the curb is really low but I didn't make it cause I was going too fast. So now I got a flat rear tyre, today is Sunday and yesterday I was fixing the computer and forgot to buy a new hose.

I just noticed this post perfectly matches the title.. :lazy:

I postulated recently that the first step toward understanding a new language is being able to make out the words, decide what the words are, even if you don't understand them. So I thought why not put the theory to the test, a couple of weeks ago I tried writing out the lyrics to "Usami" and this is what I came up with...

Male detta ma
che sto morendo
per un attimo ti vento
perdo tutto in un momento
i proprio questo sono stancho
di donare confidenza
a chi invece non ti pensa
e ti abandona come merda
tanto lu che forte regge
enunsa cosei rancore
setti badagli un cafone
comunque meglio non chia mare
che se sofre come un cane
e un amico che lu male
fo no sono cantare
a quante no per caldo
stritti stritti
chiusi in una stanza senza scita preguidizzi
se non con la voglia
disterte la divertizzi
quella che voi tu
usami usami usami
quando vuoi
usami usami usami
male detto me
che sto cedendo
che sto un sogno sio mi pento
so disposto dimonstrare
cosa dentro fino in fondo
non mia bassa cer dischiemi
perdonaro altri valori
l'importante che io riescha
stare in piedi anche domani
e un servirai un abraccio
basta in avanzo il mio coraggio
e la ferma cominzione
che selzone dono uraggio

And that's as far as I got at the time. Today I looked up the lyrics and this is it:

Maledetto me che sto morendo
Per un attimo di vento
Perdo tutto in un momento
E proprio questo sono stanco
Di donare confidenza
A chi invece non ti pensa
E ti abbandona come merda
Tanto Luca è forte e regge
E non sa cos'è il rancore
Se ti va dagli un ceffone
Comunque meglio non chiamare
Anche se soffre come un cane
E' un amico che non vale
Buono solo a cantare

Ma quante notti al caldo stretti, stretti
Chiusi in una stanza
Senza uscite e pregiudizi
Solo con la voglia di star bene e divertirsi
Quello che vuoi tu.

RIT: Usami, usami, usami quando vuoi
Usami, usami, usami.

Maledetto me che stò cedendo
Che sia un sogno o sia un intento
Son disposto a dimostrare
Cosa ho dentro e fino in fondo
Non mi abbasso a certi schemi
Per denaro o altri valori
L'importante è che io riesca
A stare in piedi anche domani
E non servirà un abbraccio
Basta e avanza il mio coraggio
E la ferma convinzione
Che sei il sole e non un raggio
Non si sa mai chi sarai
Se vincente o perderai.
E come dirlo allora che non serve
Darsi addosso e farsi male, male veramente
Quello che ti insegna e non ti farà capire niente
Rende inutili. Io non ci sono, adesso

RIT: Usami, usami, usami quando vuoi
Usami, usami, usami e dopo buttami.

out of shape, overweight, but of sound mind. with an ever increasing confidence to become all I can be, in fact all I should be. it's a beautiful life.

and I love this country.
