Special K (Placebo?) ;)

[Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
More than just a white motif
More chaotic, no relief
I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
Can the savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping... not for free
I fall down... hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

I'll describe the way I feel
You're my new Achilles heel
Can this savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping... not for free
I fall down... hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity

Sometimes when you meet someone who's wonderful, you ask yourself this very same question:
"Can this savior be for real?".
Most of the time, you just block the feeling and walk away. Perhaps that's why you need a savior anyway. But then, again, if your still inside your little castle, I guess you won't say that you need one, will you?

Watch time is it?

After some weeks brainstorming, I finally decided for the Seiko Premier Kinetic Perpetual SNP005P1 wrist watch. I ordered it from Ebay and it came two work days afterwards new and shinning.
As I'm just starting my career, some of you might ask: why on earth would you be spending *that* amount of money in just a watch? For those i recommend you read a great post at Tony Rush's blog (it didn't cost $8000, but the idea is generally the same).
So here is the picture. It looks great doesn't it? :-)

Gmail reaches perfection?

Gmail has become the perfect email application, by including the Mail Fetcher service. This service allows you to download messages from non-Gmail accounts to your inbox via POP.
You just have to go to Settings >> Account >> "Get mail from other accounts".
You can set up to 5 accounts, and immediately apply labels to the incoming e-mails.
Can you not love it?

And now for shedding some light ..

I came across with a nice set of light switches. You can check the whole set here. Unfortunately they are for UK only. As i'm a pool fan myself, this is my favorite. Which is yours ?

Does the world owe you or do you owe the world?

"I realized that it was up to me and me alone to make a success out of my life. This is perhaps the biggest lesson that this book taught me. Before I read this book, I had this belief that just because I was intelligent, the world owed me something. After reading this, I began to wonder what value I really had to offer to the world. I might be intelligent, but if I spent all my time in the corner ranting about how the world owed me something, I would be wasting my life. I needed to use my intelligence for my own benefit, to get off my lazy behind and do something with it, or else it would just fester and rot." in The Simple Dollar Blog.
