I've got a huge crush on Cecilia Mendez.

This girl is beautiful.

I'm planning on cutting my hair like her.

In other news, I started to miss all those rock bands I used to listen to in high school. I've redownloaded everything from Hole to The Strokes. Makes me want to go to rock concerts. It's been a while.

Heart In A Cage - The Strokes

Pin - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Violet - Hole

Helicopter - Bloc Party

As-tu déjà aimé
pour la beauté du geste?
As-tu déjà croqué
la pomme à pleine dent?
Pour la saveur du fruit
sa douceur et son zeste
T'es tu perdu souvent?

Oui j'ai déjà aimé
pour la beauté du geste
mais la pomme était dure.
Je m'y suis cassé les dents.
Ces passions immatures,
ces amours indigestes
m'ont écoeuré souvent.

Les amours qui durent
font des amants exsangues,
et leurs baisers trop mûrs
nous pourrissent la langue.

Les amour passagères
ont des futiles fièvres,
et leur baiser trop verts
nous écorchent les lèvres.

Car a vouloir s'aimer
pour la beauté du geste,
le ver dans la pomme
nous glisse entre les dents.
Il nous ronge le coeur,
le cerveau et le reste,
nous vide lentement.

Mais lorsqu'on ose s'aimer
pour la beauté du geste,
ce ver dans la pomme
qui glisse entre les dents,
nous embaume le coeur,
le cerveau et nous laisse
son parfum au dedans.

Les amours passagères
font de futils efforts.
Leurs caresses ephémères
nous faitguent le corps.

Les amours qui durent
font les amants moins beaux.
Leurs caresses, à l'usure,
ont raison de nos peaux.

I get weak

I get weary

I miss sleep

I get moody

I'm in thoughts

I write songs

I'm in love

I walk on

Fingers crossed, my time is coming now

Don't you go, my baby begs me so

Time will fly, upon my baby's back

I get weak

I get weary

I miss sleep

I get moody

I'm in thoughts

I write songs

I'm in love

I walk on

This week has been hell. Tomorrow's my last day of school and I cannot wait for it to be 2:30pm tomorow. I'll my stress and anxiety will disappear.
I'm heading to the Lykke Li+El Perro Del Mar concert this saturday. Since they are both so beautiful and seemed to be great performers according to YouTube. I've been listening to Lykke Li nonstop for the past month and I just cannot get enough of her. I really want Portishead to go on tour and to come to Montreal her new album is just too good.

In other news, I'm starting to work at BMO as of monday. I cannot wait to finally be working and getting paid.
This summer will good.
I really want to plan a week in Europe. Probably in the end of summer. Hopefully with friends or maybe alone. Either way, I want to get out of this city for a week. I'm desperate for a change.

Dance Dance Dance - Lykke Li
Ah! I've been having such an amazing week! I've suddenly become someone all companies are asking for! I have an interview with Rogers, BMO and Air Canada! I'm still waiting for RBC and Northwest Airlines. Either way, they all pay so well and have different benefits. Choosing between them is going to be difficult.

I haven't updated my blog in a while. Been caught up with school. I went to Dominican for march break and my ipod broke and I lost all my songs. All my remixes and all my favorite rare songs that were so hard to find.... I can't wait for school to be over. I want to get my driver's licence before summer begins so I can plan several road trips and not have to worry about paying so much for transportation. I am impatiently waiting for this summer to begin. It better to be as good as last year.

I just can't get enough

Once upon a time, I wanted to know what love was. Love is there if you want it to be. You just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away in between the seconds of your life. If you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it.

I want to fall in love with an artist.

I want to fall in love.

I want to smoke so many cigarettes so that my voice leaves the same effect as Chan Marshall.

I wish I could play the guitar.

La vie est stupide. Je me trouve toujours dans des situations difficiles. J'aimerais tellement les éviter. Si seulement j'avais une vie normale. Peut-être que je ne souffrirais pas autant pour essayer d'être content.

Never give up, no never give up.

If you're looking for something easy,

You might as well give it up.

It always ends up to one thing, honey

And I can't think of right words to say.

Wherever I am babe, I'm always walking with you.

I'm always walking with you, but I look and you're not there.

Whoever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you.

I'm always talking to you, and I'm sad that

you can't hear, sad that you can't hear.

It always ends up to one thing, honey.

When I look and you're not there.

I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you,

feel my arms around you, like a sea around a shore.

I saw Juno last night and I loved it. It's really cute. It made me want to listen even more to Cat Power non-stop.

I should watch more movies.

I also want to read more.

Tonight, I'm gonna start reading Wasteland by Francesca Lia. I hope it's good.

I really want to read Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs, A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess and I also want to find a good fucked up literotica.
