Late For The Sky

The words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasnt right
And still we continued on through the night
Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
Trying to understand how our lives has led us there

(...)

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
How long have I been dreaming I could make it right

(...)

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
(...)
Through the whispered promises and the changing light

(...)

(Lines taken from "Late For The Sky" by Jackson Browne)

Although the lyrics might be about love, It can also be interpreted in an other way (like many songs, the different lines can apply to everyones own situation) And so it is with this song for me at the moment.

It's funny sometimes how things can be really ironic in life. Is there such thing as fate? If I had done some things differently, maybe the turnout would be different. You know they say that everything you do in life would affect the other.
It's like every moment in life you got to choose which path to take, there's many many paths.
And if you have taken one path , it means you haven't choose all those other paths. But I don't want to repeat the same old story again about to learn from your mistakes and all that other "so-called-life-lessons-said-many-times-by-everyone" chit-chat.

You can talk a lot, but in the end, it's yourself who have done the things you did.
And all that matters is now.

The Start Of Fall / The Beginning Of Autumn

Today is the first day of Autumn. Autumn, also called "Fall" in North American English, is the season of rain, falling of leaves and more rain. It's dull, grey, gloomy, sad, dreary, drab. (These words I basically searched up in the dictionary.) But you get the point. It isn't exactly a cheerfull season. And for most people autumn also marks the beginning of a new season. Be it school;work;sport; in September everyone starts with something somehow. We've got the happy and warm summer behind us, where we all played,chilled and relaxed, and now it's time to start up again. Although the weather isn't exactly encouraging to say the least.

So why is it called "Fall" in Nothern American English? The fall of leaves? Or is it because of:"Fall, the sudden arrival of birds due to drift migration" (wikipedia). That wouldn't make sense though, since the birds would fly to the south, for a warmer climate, so birds are actually departing from North America rather than arriving.So why is it called "Fall" then? I don't know. But it sure fits to the depressive weather of Autumn. To fall...

So for everyone, Fall starts today, but I don't hope we all starts to fall from now on. It's a new season, a new begin and a new start, so let's all work hard for school, work, sport, music, hobby or whatever you want to do. Don't let the weather graps you. Everything has it's beauty. When all the yellow brown and old leaves falls from the trees, it only means that the old is making a place for the new. And so it is for the things we do, the hard-work we do today, is also a stepping stone for the succes of tomorrow.
