After watching “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” (twice) it really made me think about what would I do if I were in the same situation as the characters. Would I like to erase some of my memories or not? The movie it’s about her erasing him…so I guess I would focus on this. Would I erase all the memories that I have with my bf (actually not anymore, I don’t really know what are we now… ) ?
First I thought, yes I would erase them, but only what was wrong. But than I realized this is stupid. Than I thought, I would erase everything if we would have a big fight, take it on separate ways, etc. But then I started thinking about this whole thing, and the fact is that it’s true that for some time we’re just fighting and acting awkward, but when it was good, it was really good and I want to remember those times as long as I live.
The thing is, that in the movie they both erase the other one from their memories, and finally they meet again, cause this is how it has to be. So, we would erase each other, meet again, get back together without knowing that we used to be together and then make the same mistakes we once did, cause we don’t have any kind of memories and we would never know what went wrong and what we have to differently. And this will probably led to us breaking up again (and the thing with the erasing can only be made once ).
Anyway, they get back together in the movie (after finding out about the erasing process), and they both know that there is a chance that history would repeat itself, and maybe they will end up feeling miserable again, but they give themselves a second chance and that’s what I mostly liked in this movie.
It’s a great story, I really liked it, I can say it’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. And the scene where he arrives at his last memory of her, they go to that house on the beach, change the night, when they met and then he is sitting in the car and passing through their memories, like he’s in a museum, its just amazing.
I was truly impressed.
I’m a liar, and not just a simple liar. A big one. I said that the new post will come on the next day, and this was like a week ago. And the new post never came…until now.
Yesterday I was at a birthday party. I didn’t know anyone there, besides the girl who throw it and her brother. But it was ok, cause I started talking to some people. And what I first said to everyone was: “Are you in the same class with Dia?” Some were, some were not…but it doesn’t matter cause from then the conversation was on. They asked me in which class am I, cause they’ve never seen me before, I told them I’m at university at Cluj (some of them seemed surprised cause they thought I’m in the 9th grade or something like that). And they asked me about the university, about Cluj, about music etc. So it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I danced a lot, almost everyone did, and if you want to dance, you don’t really have to know the others, you just go there and start to dance (you don’t have to talk while dancing). I guess I can say it was ok.
Now, while I was coming on the train to Arad from Cluj, I was listening to my mp3, and I thought that I would make a list of songs that I think are songs to listen while you are traveling. I don’t know, I just have some songs that I listen to, and imagine that, “oh, this would be a great song to listen while traveling” or “yeah, if I’d direct a movie this song would be perfect for the scene where the character is walking on the street alone at night”. It may seem stupid, but not for me.
So, here are the songs. I call it: Top 10 songs for traveling
Patrice-Household
Kate Nash-Birds
Amy Macdonald-This Is The Life
Damien Rice-9 Crimes
Interpol-No I In Threesome
Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here
The Shins-New Slang
Genesis-No Son Of Mine
Switchfoot-24
Funeral For A Friend-History
Athlete-Tourist (this is the bonus track )
When I was like 4-5 years old, we used to go to trips with my parents and we always listened to Genesis, Phil Collins, Dire Straits, Chris Rea and Mike Oldfield. It was really good.
Yup guys, I’m back so you can open the champagne (the one that you’re keeping to celebrate only very special occasions) and you can dance around the room. The new post will come tomorrow, until then I’ll leave you with one of my recent favorites.
Michael Cera & Ellen Page-Anyone Else But You (The Moldy Peaches cover)
Oh, yeah. The lines above, are for my imaginary readers (cause no one reads this blog).
I was just thinking today, that I’m not like how I seem to be. I mean when I’m with my best friend that’s the way I really am. The real me is the joking, the laughing, the singing and dancing one and the one that makes silly things. I want to be like this with everyone, cause I want people to see that I’m not boring (especially my bf). When I’m with him, I’m not the same as I am with my best friend and it’s because I’m ashamed of it. I’m ashamed of acting like that when I’m with him, cause I’m afraid he won’t like it. I’m just trying to impress him and not to be childish and silly, but I think it didn’t work out just like I thought it will. Maybe when I’m with him I should be the same as I am when I’m with my friend. But I’m just afraid that he won’t like me that way.
Today when I was at my friend, we watched videos on Youtube (old songs), that reminded us of old times. It felt so good. We even remembered the lyrics of the songs, although we haven’t heard them for a long time. For an hour I’ve completely forgotten about the things that are depressing me and that are constantly in my mind.
I wish everything would be as simple as it seemed to be 4-5 years ago.
My things aren’t going well. I’m home, but I want to go back, cause I don’t know, I miss my bf, and I don’t really feel like home here anymore. Everything is so strange. I woke up, no one has called me, not a message on my phone… it was just like in my dream that I had. No one cares a shit about me (especially him).
I don’t even have anything to write about, cause nothing happens, and to write about memories… I just don’t want that. I was thinking to go for a walk, but I don’t want to see other people, who are feeling good, laughing with their friends, bf/gf. I guess I will stay at home, trying to learn something for my history exam. If I can’t, than I don’t care, cause my semester is already fucked up because of my carelessness.
So, again I wrote something stupid, uninteresting, and I admit that it sucks.
I don’t know what should i write about today, so I decided to share with you a thing that really annoys me. I don’t know if other experienced this before, actually I know 2 or 3 people (I’m referring to girls now), but every time I say that I like a band, what’s the reaction? Yeah, sure you like them because you like the singer. Oh, come on…why can’t a girl like a band, without a guy saying this to her?
Let’s see who I like. I like Keane. Please don’t say that Tom Chaplin looks good, no offense, the music is great, but he isn’t good looking at all. Other band: Death Cab. Have you seen them? They look like geeks, but that doesn’t matter cause what interests me is the music, and I don’t give a shit about how they look. And all the others that I like: Bloc Party, Anberlin, Panic! at the Disco, Damien Rice neither of them are good looking guys (this is only my opinion). So no one can say that I like these bands cause I find the singer or the other members hot.
Ok, I admit, I used to like H.I.M cause of Ville Valo, then I didn’t liked him anymore and I only liked the music, now….I don’t like them at all, cause they became boring and crappy. Too bad.
