Song of the Day:
No Such Thing by John Mayer



"Welcome to the real world"
she said to me kind of condescendingly
"Take a seat, take your life
plot it out in black and white"

Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
and the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
is still hiding up my sleeve


They love to tell you "stay inside the lines"
but something's better on the other side


I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above


So the good boys and girls take the so-called right track
faded white hats grabbing the credits and making transfers
they read all the books but they can't find the answers
and all of our parents, they're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
while in their memories, tiny tragedies


they love to tell you "stay inside the lines"
but something's better on the other side


I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above


I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
as long as I'm alive


I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above

I just can't wait till my ten year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
and when I stand on these tables before you
you will know what all this time was for


As the exams come to an end tomorrow,i thought it was appropriate to post this song.I wonder how our lives would turn out after this day.I mean,you have the ladies who will be taking a long break from now till the results,then to the Universities.Be it local or overseas.For the guys,it can be a little predictable.The future probably would involve mud,sweat,smoke,commands,push ups and a whole body full of aching muscles.Whatever it is,guys' life probably starts two years after tomorrow.Whatever it is,it is what we do in our lives after tomorrow that counts i guess.When reality really starts to kick in,and you find yourself pretty helpless amongst the lions and the wolves.The so called "Real World" out there scares me sometimes.Like the lyrics,i guess the "Real World" is just a lie we have to rise above.No,not that Real World you Matrix fanboys.I guess we dont need to conform to the world sometimes,the world which people deem as the real world.Why cant we follow our own dreams and beliefs sometimes."To Stay inside the Line",but what if it is better on the other side?Well,we all have to take our little step towards the unknown,to know.

Anyway,the end is close.I just wish everybody the best of luck after tomorrow.The great unknown is out there,and it can get a little menacing sometimes.Guess we got to grow out of that child someday and face the impending peril.Damn,i love this song.
