sounds of silence.

today i've been listening to mellow, meaningful, sometimes emo songs, which i haven't done in a while. almost as a subconscious self-defense mechanism.
my playlist has been dominated by the likes of pitbull, the black-eyed peas (i'm surprised "i've gotta feeling" hasn't made a cameo in my dreams yet), and bob sinclair. hehe.

12 days to go. sometimes i can't help but wonder if i'm in over my head. other times i think i have things under control.
we'll see... i'm hoping for the latter, but there's something to be said for the former every once in a while, no?

"a lovestruck romeo, sings the streets a serenade
laying everybody low with a love song that he made
finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
says something like, "you and me, babe, how about it?"

juliet says, "hey, it's romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
he's underneath the window, she's singing
"hey, la, my boyfriend's back
you shouldn't come around here, singing up people like that
anyway, what you gonna do about it?"

juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
and i bet, that you exploded in my heart
and i forget, i forget.. the movie song
when you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, juliet?"

- romeo and juliet, dire straits. i like the version by the killers.
