The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Ah, gw bener-bener suka sama lagu ini. Post aja selengkapnya deh.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not...broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Policeman says son you can't stay here,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm

and maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
[Repeat in background]

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move.

jumat siang-sore

Hm, Jumat siang. Ga ada metpen. Bingung mau ngapain. Akhirnya jam 10 cabut dari kampus. Nyetir tanpa tujuan. Ngelewatin toko buku bernama Leksika. Udah sering lewat sih, tapi ga pernah minat mampir. Tadi akhirnya mampir. Ternyata firasat saya benar, ga oke ah tempatnya.

Melanjutkan perjalanan tanpa tujuan. Entah bagaimana, sampailah gw di Kemang. Berhubung udah sampe sana, gw pun memutuskan untuk mampir ke Aksara. Tapi nyatanya sampe depan Aksara, kok jadi males. Akhirnya cuma dapet macet doang, abis itu pulang deh.

Di rumah. Nonton Greys. Bengong. Ngejemur. Akhirnya cabut ke Margo City.
Dan tebak apa yang tengah terjadi...
Super sale up to 80% off di The Executive. Nyoba beberapa, tapi ga ada yang pas di hati. Beli roti lalu ngampus.

Oh, sungguh hari yang menarik...

jumat pagi

Baru selesai baca Magyk. Jelek ah, sihirnya aneh. Typonya juga banyak. Dari kemaren lagi hobi baca ulang Girl Talk. Bacaan jaman sd. Saya paling suka sama Katie. Sabrina juga oke punya sih. Allison tidak, dia menyebalkan. Randy juga menyebalkan.

Hm, belakangan ini sering kangen nyokap.

Ah, saya lagi suka sekali lagu ini:
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
huhuh, sungguh oke punya.

update

Sebenarnya udah lama pengen ngupdate, tapi segala kisah terkadang cuma berakhir di kepala. Terlalu malas untuk nyalain komputer dan ngetik dan terkoneksi dengan Internet dan segala sampah teknologi. Ah ya, jadi keluhan-keluhan hidup biasanya ditumpahkan di lembaran kertas dalam catatan harian saja, jauh lebih praktis.

Belakangan ini emang males sama dunia maya. Bosan dengan plurk. Menolak teraniaya fesbuk. Hm, mungkin gw cuma benci alasan gw bikin akun di sana. Dan alasan gw tetap bertahan buat ga ngapus akun tersebut. Dan alasan gw tetap mengunjungi situs oke itu sekali-sekali.

Gw sering mikir, mungkin akan jauh lebih asik kalau gw hidup di jaman lain. Berpedang dan memanah dan menunggang kuda. Dan baca. Demi Tuhan, rasanya udah lama banget ga baca. Pengen berkutat seharian (atau berhari-hari) dengan buku fantasy yang tebel. Ahhh, thirsty for books.

Yah, secara keseluruhan, ga ada keluhan hidup sih selain itu. Hidup gw lagi damai-damai aja. Ga ada masalah. Hhhh, siapa sih yang gw bohongi? Masalahnya adalah ga ada masalah. Ngerasa dibuat lembek sama semua kenyamanan hidup ini. I want to get into trouble, and find a way to get out of it again. Just like Nobody Owens.

Hm, sudahlah. Bingung juga mau nyari masalah di mana. House season 1 hari ini berhasil ditamatkan. Hugh Laurie itu ganteng luar biasa. Tapi sayangnya membuat gw merasa diperbudak untuk berada di depan komputer. Benci komputer.

Hal-hal lain. Hmmm. Pendidikan: udah lama ga diurusin. Perasaan: udah lama juga ga diurusin. Kelinci: apalagi, bikin repot aja. Keuangan: tipis dan pas-pasan. Kesehatan: ngerasa gendut tapi alhamdulillah ga ada keluhan fisik yang bermakna.

Yah, bener juga sih, secara umum ga ada yang perlu dikeluhkan. Huhuh. Bukannya ga bersyukur. Bukannya ga bahagia. Gw bahagia kok (tapi bosen). I just can’t help but thinking, that this is not what I’m looking for.

The Graveyard Book

The Graveyard Book
Neil Gaiman
HarperCollins, 2008

Nobody Owens, atau Bod, mendapatkan namanya dari hantu di kuburan. Seluruh anggota keluarganya tewas dibunuh pria bernama Jack. Bod dibesarkan oleh para hantu serta Silas, penjaganya yang tidak hidup dan tidak juga mati.

Banyak yang dialami Bod selama tahun-tahun yang dihabiskannya di kuburan: bertemu Indigo Man, dibawa ke kota ghoul, berteman dengan hantu penyihir. Akan tetapi, di luar kuburan, nyawa Bod terancam. Pria bernama Jack, yang telah membunuh seluruh keluarga Bod, bertekad untuk menghabisinya juga.

Ah, saya sungguh suka buku ini. Sederhana tapi bagus, berkisah tentang keluarga dan tumbuh dewasa huhuh, dan bagaimana pada akhirnya Bod tetap harus meninggalkan kuburan dan hantu-hantunya serta Silas.

I want to see life. I want to hold it in my hands. I want to leave a footprint on the sand of a desert island. I want to play football with people. I want, I want everything.

Bacaan yang tipis tapi menyenangkan. Neil Gaiman sungguh penulis favorit saya.

another note from the past

Tadi pagi, saya bangun dengan perasaan kacau balau. Dan entah karena apa, tiba-tiba sepenggal lagu dari masa lalu langsung muncul ke otak:
misery, is what i feel when you're not around...

Waa, jadi kangen sama The Moffatts!

Yey, Bob oke gila!

i did get my hopes up.
it's like coming back to 4 years ago.
this stupidity of mine.
i really need to get a life.

hoahm, bodo ah.
ngapain juga dipikirin.

to you,
my very best friend,
i wish you a very happy marriage.
may God's love be with you.

Gollum's Song

Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more

Don't say -- goodbye
Don't say -- I didn't try...

These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies
You told us
The hurt, the blame!

And we will weep
To be so alone
We are lost!
We can never go home

So in the end
I will be -- what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me

Now we say -- goodbye
We say -- you didn't try...

These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!

And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost!
You can never go home

saya.
senewen.
sungguh.
