Mind Games
John Lennon

We’re playing those mind games together,
Pushing barriers, planting seeds,
Playing the mind guerilla,
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth,
We all been playing mind games forever,
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil.
Doing the mind guerilla,
Some call it the search for the grail,
Love is the answer and you know that for sure,
Love is flower you got to let it, you got to let it grow,
So keep on playing those mind games together,
Faith in the future outta the now,
You just can’t beat on those mind guerillas,
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind,
Yeah we’re playing those mind games forever,
Projecting our images in space and in time,
Yes is the answer and you know that for sure,
Yes is the surrender you got to let it, you got to let it go,
So keep on playing those mind games together,
Doing the ritual dance inn the sun,
Millions of mind guerrillas,
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel,
Keep on playing those mind games forever,
Raising the spirit of peace and love, not war,
(I want you to make love, not war, I know you’ve heard it before)

I just watched the film Across the Universe and I don’t know how I felt afterwards. I can’t really express my thoughts after watching the movie cause I just felt all numb. I couldn’t understand the concept of the whole flick. Of course it’s a bunch of stories all rolled into one; however, I don’t know which one to focus more. If it would be the songs played, or the plot of the story.

Don’t mind me, i’m slow.

I’m just liking the fact of being immersed temporarily into this Beatle-mania frenzy and I like the notion that I’m able to recognize 85% of the songs played. Like most people, I’m a fan of this group of talented musicians and composers. They are after all, THE Beatles.

Strangely enough, the song that I posted here wasn’t played in the movie.

I don’t know what’s going on with life already. We are always like this, trapped with bad credit loans. Just a month ago, I was so ecstatic knowing that after a year’s worth of wait, I finally got my payroll ATM. However, it only lasted a few days, because my father requested me again to ask for another loan so we can finance the business that we were in.

I grew upset of course, since it was early morning and that was the first news that I got from the house. I didn’t agree at first, especially since I knew my brother is also trapped in a litany of bad credit credit cards. I couldn’t explain how mad he got because he didn’t like accumulating debts when he had the capacity to pay on the due date. That’s again because of our status in life.

Right now, I’m just listening to John Mayer’s song as it keeps me going from being close to being insane. My brother downloaded some songs in order to fill up our hard drive, and since I’m more of a blogger, I let him do the music grabbing. I’m just glad that I’m able to benefit from it as well. But I’m veering from the topic already.

Going back, sometimes it makes me angry that I’m always stuck in this rut. But I know it takes a lot of guts for a father to ask for money from his son; and I know that my pop’s intentions are pure. I’m probably being selfish but I want to think about my future as well. Right now, I’m just at a loss for words already.
