Spreading too thinly

Finished work early. Came home to grab my dancing shoes. Still early. Not meeting them until 9pm. Surfed the web a bit. Found out Mogwai is holding a preview gig of their album Mr. Beast in Tokyo next month. Contemplated for a while whether I should fly over to Tokyo. Hmmm....if I follow all these bands to where their gigs are held, I would be very very poor. They never seem to want to come to Singapore.

The problem with me is I have too many interests. I want to do everything and get really frustrated when I couldn't find the time to do those things I set out to do. I don't have much money and time. On top of that, I am getting older. I know, gradually and eventually, I won't have the energy level I have now to do all those things. I can't prioritise even because I like them all equally. This is really depressing.

So I can't go to Tokyo. I am sure if Radiohead hold a concert somewhere, I can't go either. I would probably be working on something that would hold me back. When I look at the spread of things I want to do, I can only close my eyes, twitched my lips and let out a loud sigh.

At least, I get to dance tonight and I still get to hear Mogwai's songs on the ipod.


Listening to ....

Cody
by Mogwai

Of all i knew
I held too few
And would you stop me?
If i tried to stop you?

Old songs, stay to the end
Sad songs, remind me of friends
And the way it is, i could leave it all
And i ask myself, would you care at all

When i drive alone at night
I see the streetlights as fairgrounds
And i tried a hundred times
To see the road signs as day-glow

Old songs, stay to the end
Sad songs, remind me of friends
And the way it is, i could leave it all
And i ask myself, would you care at all
