What if it was you? (ooOOooohOOoooH)

Forgot about the pictures again, sorry. Still out using wireless outside cause my internet's still not good.

[It Had to be You - Motion City Soundtrack] is playing on repeat on my iTunes. My heart's in a really weird state right now. I have no idea. I can't get [Sometime Around Midnight - Airborne Toxic Event] out of my head either. Why? Hmm.

I had a great time frightening possums, learning the 8-step, and mucking around on swings and slides last night. Gelatti at Freddo's first, and a good time at the Carlton gardens. Singing about... Kookaburras on gum trees.

Kris was telling me about this time when she saw a Sudanese family at the playground. A Sudanese woman, covered from head to toe, was sitting on the swing and laughing and having a great time with her kids as they laughed and pushed her. It's a beautiful picture that Kris described as what humanity could look like.

I'm going to hold hope for that. For humanity. For love.

Excursion

It's nice to get away from the city. The city's just so full of students/middle-aged people, and the only time people seem to stop is for a coffee or something. Or. I don't know, life's just too fast-paced. I really enjoyed today's little excursion to CERES. It's a really nifty community type place, where everything's green, solar panels, organic vegetables and all that. It's a pretty hippie type vibe, but it's probably the first time I've actually seen kids playing here. Kids out with their families having a good time.

Pictures I have, but some other time. Internet's still down and I'm out somewhere using a wireless connection.

Studies. Please get a move on Chris. Time's running out. Enough chill, it's time to buckle down and knuckle down some work. Electromagnetism. Genetics and Evolution. Entropy and Gibbs Free Energy. Japanese Assignment. 5 days to go.

Please refresh me... please restore me... before I burn out.

New Season

So the layout is a lot simpler than what I had originally envisioned, but my half-hearted efforts at learning blogspot-friendly html couldn't get me very far, so this will suffice for now.

The songwriting thing isn't going too bad, but I'm not exactly overflowing with ideas and inspiration either. I need some time off. The workload really got to me, and even though I'm supposed to be on holiday, I'm finding it really hard to just hang loose. Plus, I'm so unprepared for this Friday. I don't know what I'll do when I apply for the permit.

I'm off to a rocky start.

I need space.

Safe space.

Room to grow, and room to break.

A fairly accurate representation of the current situation.

Assignment due tomorroooooooooooooooooooow! i'm gonna kick some ass. i don't care.

sleep is for the pwned.

i'll stay up all night if i have to, i won't be denied my 1337ness.




please save me. =(

i'm a liar

so... i'm more than a week late. things are crazy, assignments, tests and all that jazz.

so i've only uploaded one song (that i finished on time) on purevolume. the other one will have to wait til a more opportune time. critique please. i was going to say i'll probably get more done during my midsem break, but i can't, cause i'm so behind in physics and bio... and chem... and jap. so chlorineyes will probably have to go on indefinite hiatus. just like system of a down. though, it's rumored they'll play together again. really soon. at eurovision or something, or is that already over? i have not time to know what i'm talking about, so instead of talking more ass i'll be heading off for my last class for today and then it's off to the dandenongs for the weekend! bye guys.


chris out.

One down

One more to go.

Aiming to get it done by Wednesday noon time, and then it'll be on purevolume. I'm beginning to realsie for every lecture I missed, it takes at least an hour and a half to catch up. I have missed I think 9 bio lectures. Chem is much easier, I think about 3 hours should be enough to catch up everything I missed. And then it's around half an hour revision for every lecture I attend. Physics is a bit of a problem though, I've missed some critical lectures and I haven't even gotten round to printing the lecture notes. Can't wait for the midsem break... to study.

Heart of Worship

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worhip
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much you deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is yours
Every single breath



Creator, all that You've imagined and invented, I can only scratch on a microscopic level. Who could know the depths of Your wisdom? Father, come and save and know my deepest thoughts, and think to me Your thoughts. Reveal in your creation Your nature, Your heart, Your perfect love.




Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; To search out matter is the glory of kings.

Oh its been a while

Everytime I meet a singer-songwriter I get all inspired, even if I've never heard any of their songs. Maybe not inspired, but reminded, cause everything's I can see is inspiring. After all, the spirit in me is the spirit of the Creator.

Hoping to record another 2 songs soon.

And. Winston would like to make a shoutout: HARROW WORLDDDDDD!!!!

Anyway, last night I thought Jane and co. did a great job of hosting a discussion about Batman and the kind of saviour we need today. Was really enjoyable watching everyone dig so deep into the movie for truths and gold. And the night before, we (being mostly Aaron and Devon) rearranged the stage, the drum cage is now in the middle and overall it just looks and sounds brilliant. Then we jammed, and I reckon everyone was just waiting for that moment. Was really cool, I swear, Devon, Guo Jin, and Aaron are the funkiest trio I've ever seen. Their groove is just so tight, it's incredible. And then Tim, Ann Boo (what a kickass name), and I joined in and it was all so much fun.


So I've begun writing this song and I'm not entirely sure what it's about, just like how I'm not entirely sure what's happening right now, spring seemingly approaching and Uncle David's passing (rest in peace). Hmm. New season. Quite excited to see what's in store.



Friend.

Hey winter,
There's a spring in your step,
Where are you going?
Can't we weave though the city,
One more time? Like we do every sleepless night?

Hey winter,
Friend, it seems your frozen heart is warming,
Still you took another man with you,
And though I didn't know him, many I know knew.

But no you're not getting any further now,
You still linger like storm clouds of perfume.


Ok, so I think I'll stop here. Hopefully, will finish up the song and start recording. Took a video of the rough gist of the song. So, yeh. Hopefully I won't be too swamped with stuff this week. Bye.
