Bad - U2

Bad - U2

Bad. Like the excursion we made today to Isla Saona, a most loved trip by people according to reviews on the internet, a most useless waste of time and money, if you want my side of the story. The water in the sea was dirty with seaweeds and not at all better than that in front of our hotel, same applies to the beach. The only good part was when I swam a little farther from the beach, but then people didn't want us to get too far. So ok, practically it's like "stay here in the dirty water".
Bad. Not like swimming in nice Caribbean water and having close encounters with starfish, first mediated by the guys and then in the "wild" sea!
Bad. Like wasting hours of transport to get to a place that was no better than the one we left and that offered no particular thing that was worth the trip.
Bad. Like the continuous effect that loud Latin music has on me. Can't stand it anymore is an euphemism.
Bad. Not like listening to music on the seaside, relaxing and always finding the right song for the moment.
Bad. Not at all like this song. One of my U2 favs!

So. Central rain (I'm sorry) - R.E.M.

So. Central rain (I'm sorry) - R.E.M.

Today it's been kind of a REM day for me. Time to get back to the (almost) origins! I've been through Reckoning and Fables of the reconstruction, and sure enough I'll pick what is probably my favourite of the whole mid-80s period. So, I'm sorry (for the others), but for now I'm gonna pick Central rain!

99 red baloons - Nena

Lately I have been pretty busy (let's say stressed out, to be more precise!) with groupworks for university. I think my life is kind of revolving around them these days, but whatever... I will survive! Me and my group for one of these projects have decided to launch a questionnaire to gather some data and last night, the last thing I did before going to sleep, has been checking how many answers we got so far. There were 99. Suddenly my mind made the not-so-straight-forward association to this song, and it seemed unfair not to post it, so there it is!
