Day 2: My Least Favorite Song

-

The Reason by Hoobastank from The Reason (2004)


I don't I can provide a very rational explanation as to why this is my least favorite song, but it is. I think I've been annoyed by it from the very beginning, even though I do like rock music. Maybe it was the lyrics, the music... I don't know! I somehow can't stand this song! I like Doug Robb's voice on an Apocalyptica track, but Hoobastank... the first and only song I head I disliked, so I've never listened to anything else.







I probably should add here that I would term the present genres of dance, pop and whatever sub or mash-up genre artists like Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Kesha, Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars (I liked one song of his, 'Grenade', but can't listen to it more than a few times) and whoever else is the big thing right now, but that would make me list almost WAY TOO MANY tracks that I would NOT treat my ears to, hence sticking with The Reason.

I'm not a perfect person, there's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning, I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go, that I just want you to know


I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be
A reason to start over new, and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you, it's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through, I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears, that's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be
A reason to start over new, and the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person, I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go, that I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be
A reason to start over new, and the reason is you


I've found a reason to show, a side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do, and the reason is you

Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen

This is not exactly a review - because I don't know the language well enough to write a German review, but I will, in due time. Reviewing the Harry Potter books would take its toll on me because of the details in it - the same goes for the Lord of the Rings. Maybe if I'd  reviewed them as I read them it would've made it easier but... Anyway. Harry Potter in Deutsch . I'm re-learning the language - signed up for the A1 level once again because I haven't retained what I learned three years ago. I can understand random words and simple sentences and make wild guesses at what the more complex sentences convey, but I would like to know the grammar, the structure and the foundation of the language so that I may indulge in German literature. These being my baby steps towards reading Goethe's Faust in German. I thought I'd start with something simple. Fairy tales, not so much, so I picked up a book that I know very well - Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen - wh...

The Magician's Death

Another P. C. Doherty historical mystery, this time set in medieval England, in the early 14th century and towards the end of the reign of Edward I . The focus is on his continual efforts to trump Philip IV of France , and the works of Roger Bacon . Sir Hugh Corbett , Keeper of the Secret Seal and the eyes and ears of King Edward I, serves as the intelligent academic and criminologist. It begins, as every good mystery should, with a death, here following a theft of a copy of Bacon's Secretus Secretorum (a lovely play on Secretum Secretorum ) from the French. The basis of the plot? Decode Bacon's, a priest and scientist, work by finding the key to his book because it's all written in code, and ultimately shift the balances of power in the favor of the one that makes the discovery first! Both Kings send envoys, academics led by a shrewd politician, to try and figure this out through mutual cooperation, but foul play is suspected in achieving these ends as people begin to die...

The Woman in White

One of the earliest works of detective fiction, The Woman in White is an epistolary novel set in the late mid-19th century, written by Wilkie Collins , a man who is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. This is definitely literature, the sleuthing and legal mind at its best. The foreword/preamble to the book sets the tone and pace of the novel, which essentially is a collection of statements of the various important people that figure in it. Much like a trial scene where each witness provides his side of the story, in facts. Walter Hartright, a twenty-something drawing master, receives an offer of employment, to teach drawing to two young ladies that reside in Limmeridge House. As he bids his family farewell and sets off to fulfill his commission, he meets a lady dressed in white. He doesn't realize until later that she was an escapee from a private asylum but thinks nothing of it as he settles in to his role as tutor. His employer, Mr. Fredrick Fairlie, is a middle aged man w...
