no more

Please stop the music,
it's getting too much to bear
Forget the fairy tale,
I've chosen to be a non-believer
Leave me be,
As I've reached the end

the Sally & Lyla affair

It's Sunday evening, Oasis is in town, and the sky's been wet since morning. Are you sure this is not Manchester?

Let's do an age check. Some guys are in their early 20s with their City kit on. What's their first Oasis song? Anything from Standing album? Are they here just to follow the hype or just to headbang to anything loud? Do they even know that City is shite?

Welcome to the Gallagher temple where we all come hoping that we could become a rock n' roll star for just one night, and the gods return the worship with incredulous look like they don't give a single damn about it.

I'm referring to our heavenly Liam, of course.

Come in, feel free to scream along, the mass is in full session now.

Liam shows off his new skill of biting the tambourine, and balancing it on his head. What an amazing talent! And Noel really shows us who's the ringleader of the band, even though he keeps thanking us and taking the mickey out of those coming with Scotland flag.

There's no question which songs get the most response from the audience. At least the girl next to me seems to buy the ticket only for Wonderwall. But the highlight must be when all of us loudly lamented why Sally can wait.

Then it's over. The gods return to where they belong, and we are back to be merely mortal. Back to our own shit life serenaded by Blue Moon.

Those bloody Gallaghers and their City..

puzzled happiness

a piece of white space is laid out in front of me
one by one, each piece of the puzzle assembles itself from the past
i can almost see the whole picture now
it's a big, grinning, happy face
it's funny how it looks like mine
