Erasure's Union Street and my tired soul

"Help me to fold this origami
for only you can turn this paper beauty.
To work along was never easy
unless you hand can hold me
and set me free."

I thought it was just a one song gimmick when I started listening to Erasure's new album "Union Street". A acoustic song, I thought, was never something that I expected some the 80's pop electronic dance music group. But one song after another, Erasure continuously using their melodic song writing skill trying to prove that they can do more than some repetitive loop sequence. Weather you appreciate it or not, you just have to admit that it takes a lot of guts for a pop group to do something completely different from their well-known style. And frankly the result is pretty nice. Even though no single song particularly stand out or stuck in my memory, the album as a whole is a whole gentle and song backdrop music for you to enjoy while you are driving home bringing you tiresome body and a defeated soul from the battlefield at work.

And coincidently, I was in such a state of deeply tiresome status, both spiritually and physically.
Yes, for those who know about me, you know it's the dance class.

Well, on the bright side, my almost-shunted-down brain was recovered while I was in the minibus heading back home after the class. I don't know if it was the the two bottle of Ion Supply Drink (Pocaro Sweat), or simply the rest that helped me to recover. But, heck, what worked works.


(Nope, those two cans were not looking like that when I brought them.)

And then, unlike the previous classes which my brain was so tired because of lack of sleeping and a morning of intense drum set playing, my brain seems to able to remember of steps that the teacher commented. That's a huge improvement considered that my brain was as clean as a piece of white paper after the dance class every time I attended it while I was lack of sleeping.

And an ultra important rule: unless I quit dancing, otherwise I have to sleep like a puppy for at least 8 hours on Saturday night.

But that only solved part of my problem. I still need to figure out why I was so out of strength on Sunday night, and weather there's a solution to it.


11:06 pm. I better unpack my stuff, take a shower, have dinner, spend 20 minutes to complete the 3D animation exercise I started yesterday and pack my stuff for work tomorrow.

I just love how my busy lifestyle keep myself my depression.





"Try to keep my stream of bitter
from flooding my soul.
So much hatred that can never resolve
as far as I know.
It's just a little step
to make me stronger.
Sure, I do think so.
When I look back
it's gonna be so utterly
beautiful.
So beautiful."
