The end of summer is always hard on me. Trying to cram in all the goofing off I’ve been meaning to do.

"When was the last time, you just got up, and went for a drive? Not to anywhere, not for anything. Just for a drive.

... ...

This is brilliant. No phone. No kids. No interruptions. Its just me, in my little metal shell.

Time to think, time to work stuff out."

- Jeremy Clarkson in "Top Gear" Season 11 Episode 2

Just six precious hours before bed to forget everything I learned today.

Some things never change.

Like.

How i'll fall asleep when i don't understand what the person is saying.
Eg. The instructor will be explaining something really interesting. But because i don't understand (and partly because the instructor doesn't teach very well, pauses often and talks in a monotonous voice), i kinda nod off.

Like.

How i don't plan when i'm doing something.
Eg. I'll take apart an assembly to measure the dimensions of a component. Then when i'm done, i'll put it back together again. Then i'll think: Maybe i should take this dimension as well. So i take the assembly apart again, to measure a new dimension and then put it back together again. Rinse and repeat.

Like.

How i'm absolutely rubbish with women.
Eg. I'm still single. No further examples or explanation necessary.

Why can’t I ever build character in at a Miami condo or a casino somewhere?

"Lucky"
(feat. Colbie Caillat)

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want.

There are times when events are rushing towards you.

You feel as though you're being caught by a strong current in a deep ocean. You can only see the clear blue sky, and the deep blue sea. The horizon seems endless, with only a thin line where the sky and sea meets.

In the strong sunshine, you feel helpless as the current pushes you along. You don't know where the destination is, but the waves are relentless in their path.

All you can do, is to brace yourself and hope that everything will go well when you hit the destination.

I think my cerebellum just fused.

Poor little lamp. xD
