Recent lamentations.

Stay The Night

It's not a new song, although the emotions it evokes feel just as fresh. 2012 doesn't feel that long ago, really, yet to put it in perspective, it's been 7 years.

So what does the song remind me of?

The final month with her, reckless abandon and all.

It's not quite the same kind of melancholy as compared to the initial months post break-up, but it nonetheless toys with my recent doubts pertaining to the whole US studies endeavour.

Just simply hinging on this doubt was enough to trigger a whole host of buried ambivalent thoughts about that final month, the madness of it all.

Yet the song captures that bittersweet experience with simple words.

Music, a double-edged sword.

Alas.

...

Terrorism in New Zealand

The mosque shooting in Christchurch.

'Tis madness, a senseless agenda with a tragic ending.

I lament for the lives lost. A man greeting "Salam brother" to another with open arms, only to be shot... It's just... Tragic.

This doesn't affect me directly, yet it pains me that someone can be so full of hate to see sense in murder.

Alas.
