Back to Basics a.k.a. The Return of the Comeback Part IV

i just turned 20 again. damn. i was wishing it'd go back to 19 but no. even if i had to search for all the seven dragon balls and make a wish, all the genie/dragon/whatever would say is: "that wish is out of stock"
it took me a can of beer to realize that. nobody in the right mind would go to the convenience store at 8 o'clock in the morning and ask for a can of beer. "putang ina", manang lolit told me. "matulog ka muna dong, then i'd sell you one". on instinct, i replied "animal, kung dili ka ayaw"
and i went to the other store. without hesitation, mr. onik sold me the prized can of beer. and i drank it in front of manang lolit's store. nice move.
well i slept around an hour later only to find out it was almost 10 in the morning. hell it'd be so hot in my room cuz its almost noon. and so i slept again on the sofa, which is even hotter. turning 20 does make you choose stupid decisions.
honestly i'd be telling a lie if i told you i turned 20 again. but technically im not. everytime i wake up i know im still 20. and this is what happens every single time. drunk or not. i may not be proud of it but i feel comfortable knowing im not turning 21 tomorrow.
and it will break my heart if i do.

I Want Things To Be Simple

Don't need cool shades
For a good feel
You can keep the fancy clothes
I'll take walkin in the rain
Over things material
I'll trade Girbaud and the big names
Give me faces that I know
Just play a melody that everybody knows

Take it down, down, down
And strip it to the core
I don't really need much less is more, more, more

True to life, true to me
The way it's got to be
So simple, so simple, so simple
Live to love, love to be
Absolutely free
So simple, so simple, simple

Give me wisdom, plain and truthful
Teach me somethin I don't know
Plain as education, inspiration I suppose
Give me family, on a Sunday
And I'll be just fine
There's nothing in the world
That's worth more of my time

Take it down, down, down
And strip it to the core
I don't really need much less is more, more, more

Livin my dream, is my song to the world
Let 'em hear it
Sharin' my soul and spirit
I'm hopin that you hear it
Got one life to live
It's only what you make it
Every new day's a chance worth takin
