Aug 26th -

I am unsuspecting in my car when the radio serves me up a little piece of nostalgia:

Iris, by the Goo Goo Dolls.

I had just turned 15 the summer it first played on the air but i remember listening to it for the first during high school years. Close to a decade and I can still taste 2000 like it was yesterday.
I was in the middle of my first love. It was glorious and it was heady and it felt so ****ing important, like this was it. ( But of course time,things and people definitely change ...).
I remember talking on the phone for hours and sleeping until 1pm and stalking MTV to catch my favorite videos specially this song and those posters on my wall.I remember leaving home and moving to my grandparents basement and the dread of changing schools, leaving my friends, missing out.I remember the stolen kisses and the not knowing and the secrets, some shared, others kept.I still remember those tears and fears and learning what it means to be strong.

And I remember always, always turning the volume up when this song came on the tv,
and now for once really understanding what they were singing about.

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight


And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am


And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything seems like the movies

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

Murphy's Law

If life is governed by laws then mine for sure goes only with Murphy's Law ...


So some variations for the Murphy's Law :

Never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself.


If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now.


When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged tone.

Celibacy is not hereditory.

When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings.

A short cut is the longest distance between two points.

Anything good in life is either 'illegal', 'immoral' or 'fattening'.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlamp of the oncoming train.

Friends come and go, but enemies will accumulate.

Beauty is only skin deep, ugly goes to the bone.

Never argue with a fool people might not know the difference. (
I strictly follow this one )

Anything you try to fix will always take longer and cost more than you have thought.

In order to get a loan, you must first prove that you don't need it.


The chance of the slice of bread falling butter side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.


When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will . ( Now this is called the Law of Result happens to me almost everyday )

People with seats farthest from the aisle arrive last. ( Law of Theater)

The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone with who you don't want to be seen.


Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

Murphy's Golden Rule : "Whoever has the gold makes the rules".


Murphy was an optimist
