[cogito ergo sum]

i think, therefore i am. but i think too much. i read too much into trivial matters. i attach too much symbolic meaning to what others interpret as normal, not earth-shattering, events. and i don't ever get anything done. so if i think too much, does it mean that i am too "me" for my own good?

NB - for the life of me i can't tell if its cogito or cognito. both seem valid.. although i always remember the phrase as the former, while the latter aids comprehension. any idea which is the real deal?

Faithless ft Dido - Dub Be Good To Me

---

Here comes the music
hit maker from jamaica
Sweet like candy
Hit me now

Baby girl

Just be good to me
Just be good to me
Just be good to me
Just be good to me
Just be good to me
Just be good to me
Just be good to me
Just be good to me
Just be good to me

(Rap By Maxi Jazz)

Friends tell me I am crazy
That I'm wasting time with you
You'll never be mine
That's not the way i see it
'Cos I feel already fine
Whenever you're with me

People always talk about
Reputations
Well I don't care
about your other girls
Just be good to me
Friends are always telling me
That we're using
I dont care what you do with them
Just be good to me
I don't care what you do with them
Just be good to me
Just be good to me
Just be good to me

feeling retro... modern-retro. the original Dub Be Good to Me was by Beats International - Norman Cook @ Fatboy Slim & Lindy Layton - was #1 for 4 weeks in 1990 and spent 13 weeks on the charts. but i must say that the faithless ft Dido cover gives it a whole new lease of life.. which is the whole point of reinventing old songs. whipping out my verve remixed (vol 2), joss stone and lisa ono records. wo0!

in an unrelated note, i realise that i have spent a small fortune at hmv heeren recently, and it's mainly on local, if not regional, artistes. as Paul Zach recently remarked in his saturday music column, most of the best CDs of 2004 have been released already, and 2 of them are local acts: X'Ho's Zircon Gov Pawnstars & Leslie Low's the Observatory. wonderful stuff.. though i must add that i've been waiting for the commercial release of these albums with bated breath since late last year til NOW. still..
