I be home

G'day people. Seasons greeting, happy New Year, Blessed be, etc.

I'm home. I've not posted for a while but it's only cos I've been carefully checking my pre-written comments and making them tip-top for your reading pleasure.

If you believe that then you'd better duck, there's a fucking pig flying right towards you, no wait, it's an honest copper. Oh well, same difference/likelihood....

I'll not write a thousand blog entries to cover the last couple of weeks, I'll compound them into a few posts with tid-bids pulled from the two weeks. One will be entitled "Friends and Family", one will be entitled "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", the final will be "Places and Activities". Between them they should cover everything I need to tell you about the two weeks. And I've got all day tomorrow with nothing to do other than unpack, restock my house, read 2 weeks post, do some work I've already timesheeted, investigate a potential radiator leak on the ute, and generally get prepared for my first day back at work on Monday.

So I should have plenty of time to write at least one or two of the posts. Notwithstanding jet lag. But I'm good with jet lag, and I'll cover that in the "Planes... "post. See? I'm thinking of content already!

Seriously, I've loads of stuff to share but I know I'll forget lots so expect to be reminded of this vaykay for a while yet.

Just for now, here's something. I got sent a link on youtube. It was actually something pretty boring and I stopped watching it about 4 mins into the 12. I skipped to see if it got any better and it didn't. I then clicked on one of the linked videos. That was better. The links from that were even better. Four clicks later I found a good fun video.

But the thing is, although it was rather adult in nature (You wouldn't be able to watch it at work), the thing that got me was the music playing in the background. The sound quality was shit. I hear murmurs..... "No shit? Bad sound on youtube?!" But I jest not - it was fucking awful. I could hear it well enough to know I liked and hadn't previously heard it, but not quite enough to hear many lyrics.

The ones I could decipher I googled. No avail but lots of close leads including some that I'm going to download because the lyrics fitted the tune well and sound interesting.

I finally found it by reading the comments on the video. At about comment 80 of 120 someone revealed the name of the song because so many people had asked about it. I found the lyrics and after reading them I like the song even more. I can't wait for it to download now and I'm going to ask my German friend to post me a real copy. Apparently the band is German although I've not even googled them yet.

It just said they were planning to invade Poland next...

I joke!

The lyrics represent something to me that I've never mentioned on here, but I'm sure a few of you may have been caught in a similar situation.

I like it and I'll find a link in due course:

I am amused
You seem to love me
But be reserved
Before you huff me

I'm used to winners
I need the fame
And if you touched me
You'd be my shame

Your childish dreams are all in vain
To me your kind is all the same

A starlit sky
Of black and silver is my core
My last goodbye
Makes you want me even more
For silver is my fame
Black is my name

I am a queen
And if you creep
I'll push my blade
Still-water-deep

I am a dream
A fairy-tale
Your endless quest
Your holy grail

Thanks so much for your confusion
I will be your lost illusion

Deep inside
The silver shines as black as can be
My disguise
The wolf among the sheep, you want me
To me your kind is all the same
To me your kind is all the same

Now I just need something to replace the line "I am a queen". Perhaps "I am a Dean"? Or "I am a bean"? Oh no, got it! "I am a have been"! That works for me.

PS. I just googled the name of the song together with youtube and the video didn't show. If any of you crafty fuckers try to find which video I was watching, please don't think it was the couple that came up in my search! For a give away, they don't have any music playing in them. And they're a bit "special" even for my weird tastes....
