I'm back in Melbourne for break #18 and feeling extremely fortunate that I managed to escape the global IT outage unscathed. It would have been chaos had I flown back from PNG a few days later.
We're inching ever closer to those global conspiracy Hollywood plots and it's not going to get any better especially when human beings become increasingly dependent on artificial intelligence. We all know that spelling and grammar have gotten worse in students ever since we had auto-correct and now people are even relying on A.I. to compose emails and complete assignments! How are these lazy people going to survive once they get into the real world?
Well, that's quite enough complaining about something that doesn't really affect me, not to mention about a phenomenon that I can't change. It's the end of July and nearing the coldest part of the year here in the Southern Hemisphere. This month's musical offering is a new composition. It's a fictitious story in which the protagonist's unrequited feelings get frozen in place by his love's cold treatment as he laments that the frigidity is almost as cold as July.
[July]
Maybe that's because I'm so shy
You flutter your wings like a butterfly
While I stutter after saying hi
Baby, promise you I won't bite
Maybe you've been hurt by your last guy
I'll wait for you, I won't let you slip by
How could you keep making me sigh
So I say why oh why
Can't you see I've tried and tried
I won't lie, just look into my eyes that cry
They will never ever be dry
Baby, let me tell you how I'm
Crazy 'bout you 'cos you mystify
You're my equation to simplify
Into something I hope is not undefined
Baby, I don't mean to pry
Crazy is my name if I don't make you mine
What's going on in your beautiful mind
I wanna know that I can satisfy
Let me be side by side
With you, not be miles behind
I would like our stars to be aligned, entwined
Shining bright, blinded by light
Can you please don't say bye, goodbye
Part of me will die inside
I won't deny my love for you is sky-high
Still you're cold like ice
You're just like July
Oh July
My oh my
Why oh why
