Ok, so here I go (and my mind sings: here I go, here I go, h..e..r..e I g..o..)This is the most wonderful and romantic song line I have ever heard in my life!... Coming in the latter part of U2's "Sometimes you can't make it on your own", I have heard this many times... Yet, it was today that I really "heard" it and I can't seem to get over it... :)
What beauty!! It's simple, yet so strong... As for me, I was never the one for the mushy love lines... I think the traditional lines have lost some of their charm and some of them seem soooo.... what is the right word? Impossible!! And then some of those love lines are so vague and generic. This line for me is the total opposite of all those. I shall repeat it, it is SIMPLE!... There is nothing confusing about it, there is nothing infinite about it and there is nothing unbelievable about it... It's a spur of the moment thought, something that happens to him now because of her, something simple and wonderful... and he says that she is the reason for it... When, at the climax of the song you hear this, you go "Oh my" :)
May I also add that this is one of my favourite songs? :) Of course I may! I love the song mainly for its lyrics, and the music... man, the music!!! No wonder it won the song of the year at the Grammy's... If you think that I only got captivated by the music and the lyrics, the icing of the cake was, what was written at the beginning of the video:
"My father Bob worked in the Post Office by day and sang opera by night; We lived on the Northside of Dublin in a place called Cedarwood Road; He had a lot of attitude, He gave some to me - and a voice; I wish I had known him better" - BONO
Hail to Bono, I would like to say, in this day and age where music is somewhat in a dilapidated state, thank you for your music!! OH MY!!!
Dream Trip:
To the rooftop of the world - Tibet
Yes, Oh my, if only I can go to Tibet!! These are what my dreams are made of... Tibet, a land surrounded by the highest mountains in the world, and a nation governed by a God-King.. Isolated from the rest of the world for millenia, Tibet has now come to the world asking support for her independence. It has forever been a country with the magic and mystery of the ancients. A country, whose people are the most peace-loving in the whole wide world.
I remember, when I was small, I used to feel this urge to someday go live there. My most recently read novel was "Seven years in Tibet" by Heinrich Harrer. It is definitely one of the most best travelling novels ever... Harrer was a professional mountaineer, who was captured by the English when he went with an expedition to climb a Himalayan mountain. He was by nationality an Austrian been in a Colomized country at the very moment the Second World War broke out. Captured and put into an POW camp, Harrer and some of his friends wanted to be free, and it was Tibet he thought about. This is his story about his escape into Tibet, the trials he had to face when overcoming one of the most difficult terrains in the world - the Himalayas, his settlement in Lhasa, his friendship with the young God-King and finally his escape back to India when the Red Army invaded Tibet.
It is a book filled with magic.. The magic of the Himalayas, the magic of the tibetans - their customs, their traditions, their religion, their simplicity, and most of all, the magic of the Dalai Lama.. A true lover of Tibet, Harrer describes with deep passion everything you want to know about this mysterious land and its beauty.
Tibet, Oh my, I wish I would someday visit you! Harrer says that only 2% of the Forbidden City he knew exists now, but I would consider myself lucky to see even that 2%!
Those are some of the things that my heart goes "Oh my"... As you can see, although I don't much prefer mushy love lines, I am a hopeless romantic, a very mushy kind of girl, who goes "Oh my" at the sight of a simple White Rose! :)

Too good!! :)
There’s this wonderful transition in how you’ve written… starting with a strong declaration about the song, then onto a more subtle and relaxed description of Tibet and then you end with the hopelessly romantic fact about melting at the sight of a single white rose. Love that!
There’s so much heart behind this post and that’s really endearing. :)
Reading it was therapy for me. Bet it was when writing too yeah? :)
So your price-to-be should be making a note of this as how to potentially propose to Inky.
The place: The rooftop of the world
The flowers: White roses (which coincidently are bride’s roses and symbolize ‘a love stronger than death’ so good choice!)
And the song: Sometimes you can’t make it on your own (which would go so well with the ‘I want to share the rest of my life with you’ stuff)
Awwwwwwwwww! Now I want that/similar! :)
Oh noooo! I made a huge typo! Sorreee! I meant prince-to-be and not price-to-be! :)
It's all heart, baby! ;-) Sorry for calling you baby, but I picked up that line from "Jerry Mcguire", I think. and I liked it and felt compelled to use it :)
Yeah, it was theraputic... Is writing therapy for you? I find it that way! :) And I read in some other blog that the dude who is writing is saying that he uses his blog instead of going to the psychiatrist! :)
About the proposal... :S.... i dunno :))) Highly unlikely dont you think? But have the potentiality of becoming the biggest "Oh my" :)))
No apolpogy needed cuz 'baby, baby it's a wild world'. :D There I said it. Now we're even! :)
Writing is therapy ++ for me. It's like the talking to the mirror thing. Only this way the mirror sometimes talks back via a comment. :)
About the proposal... is it unlikely...? maybe...but you can still dream! :)
suckish dude NEEDS COLOR!
