Nearly perfect : Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson

What can I say? The name itself explains a lot. He was, is and always will be the true legend in the modern music history.

Although his extraordinary and imperfect nature was overly highlighted by media, I would rather symphasise him having been trapped in a predicament of being overly exposed to this distorted world. Since he has become another typical gossip of media, the world has taken him for granted.

Yet, I would like to remind the world of one thing. Though he was too different from others or even weird compared to our 'ordinary world', he has made nearly perfect music. I have no doubt he will always be remembered as a legend.

Personally, I cannot forget the thrill when I first watched his music videos from 'Bad' album back in 1988 and 1989. It is a real pity that I cannot wait for a new album from him in great anticipation any more.

Bringing closure to a play

Funny that B's stuff lying around here and there at my place might have given me some sort of hope or last resort, that someday or some time soon B and I might be together again.

Yes, over time, a series of chemical reactions inside my brain have subsided and I was feeling sure that I no longer suffer from this rootless heartbreak. Once I wish every single trace that I could find at my place was just gone or disappeared. Once I wanted to hypnotise myself that nothing has ever happened.

This evening it felt awkward to see myself get emotional again. Not at all sentimental. Not the kind of gooey moments that we have when we chew on bittersweet relationship trauma. I admit that I was angry and irritated today to see myself going through a train of complicated thoughts and speculation.

After half an hour of a short chat in my dimmed living room, we gave each other a hug and went separate ways.

I felt rather relieved now. Of a long journey that I had to walk through. Of a mind game that I had to deal with. Seeing that I am all alone again in this dimmed living room, I can finally see that I have moved on. When things come to an end, this means there is another beginning soon.

Now I want to find the right answer to this question. Is this really true, that 'love' is just another chemical reaction in the brain?

Laugh, the world laughs with you

올드보이에 등장했던 명대사. "웃어라. 온 세상이 너와 함께 웃을 것이다. 울어라. 너 혼자 울 것이다."

A famous line from the movie 'Old Boy' - "Laugh, the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone.", originally from 'Solitude' by Ella Wheeler.
