...Cause I am hanging on every word you're saying
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
Its where i wanna be, yeah
Where I wanna be...

...Find me here
speak to me
i want to feel you
i need to hear you
you are the light
that is leading me
to the place where
i find peace again
you are the strength
that keeps me walking
you are the hope
that keeps me trusting
you are the life to my soul
you are my purpose
you are everything
and how can i
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this
you calm the storms
you give me rest
you hold me in your hands
you won't let me fall
you still my heart
and you take my breath away
would you take me in
would you take me deeper now
'cause you're all i want
you are all i need
you are everything
...Everything...

I've decided not to post anymore... so this is my last post... I've had a great time with you guys helping me and helping each and one another. I've realised some things just need to be kept to oneself... so the more I view LJ the more I want to post how I feel. I don't know if I post to get a reaction from people in a way reaching out or just cos I have nothing better to do... (((I don't know if that came out right.))) I don't even think I'm gonna post on your LJ's either... well I don't know for how long. All I know is that I need some me time. I'm not sure how long that will take.

Thank you all...and take curr...

I'm here just like I said, Though its breaking every rule I've ever made, My racing heart is just the same Why make it strong to break it once again? And I'd love to say I do, Give everything to you, But I can never now be true...So I say... I think I'd better leave right now Before I fall any deeper, I think I'd better leave right now, Feeling weaker and weaker, Somebody better show me how, Before I fall any deeper, I think I'd better leave right now...I'm here so please explain, Why you're opening up a healing wound again, I'm a little more careful, Perhaps it shows, But if I lose the highs, at least I'm spared the lows... Now I tremble in your arms, What could be the harm, To feel my spirit calm... I wouldn't know how to say, How good it feels seeing you today, I see you've got your smile back, Like you say your right on track, But you may never know why, Once bitten twice is shy, If I'm proud perhaps I should explain, I couldn't bear to lose you again... I think I'd better leave right now...I will...will I???

...Listened to this song, I didnt pay attention to it before...

U got it, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got it, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
ooo you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

[ music | Incubus - Are You In? ]


Funny how life throws things at you RANDOMLY!!!

Basically I woke up to a phonecall… My friend Evelyn asked if I wanted to go to Manila! (First thought… is there a Manila in London? As in nightclub) She proceeded saying that she works for a freight company and that they need to get a machine part to Manila PHILIPPINES!!! I was like! “I just woke up and you’re springing me with this!”

Jai:

How did u get my number anyway?

Evelyn:

Called up Louie’s house and asked if they wanted to go. Louie said he couldn’t cos he cant get work off from work cos you guys are going to America

Jai puts perspective on things and has a con-fuzzled look on his morning face…

Evelyn:

…He said that you don’t do anything. So I thought if you’re a bum you might wanna go?

Jai:

Damn I’m working today and tomorrow… But what do I have to do and what’s it for?

Evelyn:

Well basically… we ship things… and we have a part that’s considered Hand Luggage…

Jai: Wonders if its drugs! Nah well has to be of some importance if there needs to be someone to personally guard it!

Evelyn:

So you can go there for a week and have a hotel etc… and its all paid for! Cos you can’t just go somewhere that far and come straight back! Might aswell enjoy it!

Jai:

I wish I could… but working today and tomorrow. And I really need the money!


I guess putting things in perspective… if I wasn’t aiming my guns at something right now… namely America/Hawaii then I would’ve just gone… but cos I have some targets now… I need to hit them… when they’ve been hit… I’ll move onto the next. But I guess if any opportunities come up that aren’t in direct sight of my objective… then I’ll do it. We never know what life’s gonna throw at us… guess its up to us to make that decision whatever that may be.

Bring It On Life! I can take YA!

...GRRR...TRUCKER HATS... [22 Jan 2004|06:49pm]
[ mood | nauseated ]
[ music | REM - Everybody Hurts ]


Well this is the second time I’m bloody writing this again cos the window I was writing in decided to disappear… Anyways… I was a bit bored today and thought I might so something fun! The story goes I was in Covent Garden’s Urban Outfitters the other day and I saw some Trucker hats going for £25 each … as I came closer to them I realised to my surprise that they were cheap trucker hats but all the designer did was spray paint onto it! I was like RIGHT … I can do much better… plus I can promote “JAIUSI” at the same time!!! So here we go…


Before


What I did here kids… I got my design www.jaiusi.co.uk and printed it out and cut it out with a scalpel. (that took a lot of concentration!) and then used spray mount to stick on the trucker cap! Then I got some spray paint that I had left form uni… and sprayed!


Brown and Black Truckers… I thought I’d might as well do my other brown one too



Arty Shot…



Available for sale NOW!


…I hope they don’t look too shite! Well if anyone wants a specific colour or design… tell me and I’ll see what I can do! (I should’ve done loads for Crimbo!)

[ music | Evanescence - My Immortal ]


Now...if you could have a super-power what would it be?



Had a discussion at work... well more of a ramble... My mate was really upset at work... cos she's really pretty and has a really nice personality. Why was she upset? Cos someone touched her hair...Why did someone touch her hair?... Cos they later told me that "I think she has extensions!" I was like "what the f***!, No way!"... Proir to the discovery that she might have extensions, my mate kinda stormed off... I was like "whoa"... Later on when I spoke to her... she seemed really upset. She then told me that she gets it all the time!..."No I don't have extensions...yes, these are my real eyes? And of course my breasts are real!" I was like "ok" but she seemed utterly upset. She really took offence that someone picks at her... and the place where I work... presentation is everything... I mean would you buy some perfume off some scrappy un-groomed girl/guy... or a well spruced up dude/dudette... (thats wat I also hate about my job! Everyones soo fake!) It was just sad to see that even the prettiest of people have appearance issues... I continued to tell her that at the end of the day... why should u give a flying f*** what other people think...if you feel good...are happy with ones self...then thats all you have to worry about... cos when you start wondering what other people think... thats when you start picking yourself apart...right??!!??!!

Now you're wondering, "what does a superpower have to do with this?" To then take her mind off things I asked her "If you could have a super-power, what would it be?" Straight away I've always wanted to be able to 'fly' you know... like superman! But I then said that having the power to be able to read peoples minds and influence how they're thinking might be cool. She said that she would so not like to have that power! I was like why? She said ... cos then when you're with people you know... and to find out what they think about you, you'd be like "oh... so you don't like me" or "oh you think I'm like this and like that!" I was like... yeah thats true... but at least you'd know what people are really like...

I kinda know what people think of me... well kinda... I care and I dont care... I'm like yeah I know I fly straight... but I hate how people just label me... Ahhh man I sooo don't know what I'm chattin' about!

...Damn why do I think so much? (((thats why i get high blood pressure!)))

...Late night entry...1st of many... [09 Jan 2004|12:14am]
[ mood | melancholy ]
[ music | John Mayer - Covered in Rain ]



12:16am... Sounds - Covered in Rain... and the sounds of airplanes bloody revving they're fat ass engines! Sometimes thats comforting though.. knowing that there are people awake in the world and you're not the only one... i mean i know there are people up in the world... er... forget it. Well today I HAD to go to work... Dad was ill and I swear for the first time ever... he decided to take the day off... or really the shift off... and guess who gets lumbered with it... yep... moi! I mean I dont mind doing it... I guess its because all of my family work there... and well everyone knows us... and like I guess I hate working with the knowledge that ... wow this is hard to explain... let me start again... I get like £10 an hour and normally do 6 hour shifts... but the thing its piss easy... sometimes I'm meeting and greeting people, selling perfume, looking after sunglasses etc... but I swear I'm getting dumb there I mean not saying I'm above it all... cos you gotta hand it to someone to work day in and day out 12 hour shifts on their feet... thats why I respect my parents for doing what they do... cos they say its for my sister and I... but I hate seeing them come home everynight... tired... they end up going to sleep after about 3 hours rest tops! Then they wake up at 6am Then it happens again... I guess I just don't want to turn into them in some respects... I want they're determination and drive, they're passion in their work .. cos they do love their work... everyone.. i MEAN everyone knows my dad! "Hey... look there's Eddie's son!" I'm like "Hi... I'm Jason!" I just want passion in what I want to do... I need to make it.. whatever I decide... gotta make them proud you know... Just gotta!

Man now I just wanna get a job ... well a proper job...I'm always asking people what they're dream job would be... and I still don't even know what I wanna do still! I think I'm being really lazy about it all though... I keep thinking that the job I want is gonna fall onto my lap... I just need to get up off my ass and something... dammit I've had enough!!! Time for some results me thinks!

...Chillaxin' [08 Jan 2004|11:50am]
[ mood | productive ]
[ music | U2 - With Or Without You ]



Well "chillax" was taken from Gemma's LJ... such a cool word... and it described how and what i've been doing this week so far... So i'll try and fill you in. Monday thought I'd get all shopping issues out of the way... So went to central London and returned a few things ;) then went to Harrods to meet my mate Yousef the other half of JAIUSI©, just to discuss the business card and projects etc... and since he works there (the chocolate section ground floor!) he showed me around! We went to the the sound and vision department... first looking for an Ipod! But just my luck... totally sold out! (Doing a search on the internet... I found that they are releasing a new mini-Ipod! It gonna be £200 but only 1000 songs so 5gb ... plus its smaller and comes in 5 different colours!)


www.apple.com


A bit girly if you ask me... but the sliver one looks *sweet* still prefer the original one though ;) What am i talking about ... I'm talking as if im gonna get one LOL watever! Well depending on how this year plans out ... Man Im digressing... Er... oh yeah Sound and Vision... then we came across a guitar... dont even know the name of it... but is was a semi-acoustic...shiney...black...shiney...curved back...shiney oh yeah and SHINEY! I looked at the price tag it read £230 ... but... it was on sale! To £200... plus my mate gets 30% discount ... so that makes the grand total £140!!! So I've been thinking about it pretty much all week! Just depends if this is one of my many FADS! (Last summer bought a skateboard!) But in the end I spent £25 in TopShop... there was a sale and that was the money I had in my case (cigarette case but I use it as a wallet!)... I bought 4 items for £25 it was a "Buy one get one FREE!" So I got a hoody, t-shirt, pair of bleech faded trousers and some mad pait of bottoms thats black and has loads of zips and stuff ... weird ... but I thought ... wat the hell ...dont care wat anyone says!


Willow...Stand By Me (((hehehe... "Willow! Stand By Me!")))


...Ok went kinda film crazy this week and ordered a couple of films of Play.com ... I've got them both on video... but I thought what the hell! So I ordered Willow and Stand By Me... Willow was just one of those movies when you watched when you were really young and just thought "Cooooolllll" I suppose you can probably say its a bit like Lord of the Rings... but obviously not the same...both set in a medievel time and place... where the wizards and warriors rule! Just a great fun story ... and Val Kilmer... being FUNNY! (crazy) Then the second film I ordered is Rob Reiner's Stand By Me ... adapted from the Stephen King novel The Body (damn... I should really read that!) I remember watching it for the first time at my Ate Roz's house... It's just a really good feel good film... funny at parts actually loads of parts and then sad aswell! Its just about these four friends and an adventure they have... Kinda use to imagine myself on an adventure when I was younger... I guess we all have... still waiting though! If you havent seen any two of these... do ... for my sakes! ;)


YOU GO BOY!!! ...but look at the evil red-krptonite ring!!!!


...Monday night also saw the long awaited return of Smallville (whoopee!) So that means on monday's I have a scheduled viewing program! and if i miss it I think its repeated on fridays at 12am and sundays prime time i think? But is it me or does Clark not seem like the normal 16 or so year old that he's supposed to be... I mean if i met him in the hall way of my old high skool... I'd be like "DANG... if you're that tall... you gotta have some kind of supa power ...innit!" Well Lana (Kristen Kreuk - my wife to be) still looks sooooo hot... she's so cute... just something about her....... anyways... u guys have to watch that too!

Ok-ok last bit promise... about films that is hehehe... On tuesday burrowed 'Finding Nemo' and yesterday kinda walked into HMV Hounslow! (I know... I live in hounslow) and bought 'Run Lola Run' and 'Transformers - The Movie' ... (((( I know random!))))



...What a FILM FEST! Gemma come around and teach me the ways of the BLOCKBUSTER! ( actually I used to work in Blockbuster one summer! Man where those the latest nights of my life... I would like finish at 12 and end up burrowing 3 films a night for about a month and i'd try and watch them all as soon as I got home!) 'Finding Nemo' ... what can I say... had me cracking up with laughter at 2am ... i couldnt laugh to loud... everyone was sleeping! Just such a good film makes me wonder... Why aren't cartoons ever up for Oscar's? They should be... cos the animation and the stories... so original... especially Nemo, how can someone not give that fish with a 'gimpy' fin an award?... have they seen him act and swim? Damn that kids good!... And his dad... did you see the stunts he did for the film... so very dangerous!... dont even get me started on the supporting Fish... Dorrie I think her name was, correct me if im wrong! (corrected by Mons ;p) But wow... the emotion she brought to the character.... SUPERB simply classic!... phew... Ok then lastnight watched 'Run Lola Run' ... I always saw this in stores... read the reviews... saw the cover... saw the price... BOUGHT IT! LOL!!! I put it on... and it was in german!!! DAMN... oh yeah I can change that!...*click* subtitles in english? NO WAY it was like 12 o'clock and Nemo tired me out the other night! I wouldnt have enough brain power to even read the subtitles let alone comphrehend the story line... So I watched it dubbed in english *click*. Sitting down watching it... I the whole german scene was putting me off a bit!... but i was determined to get through it... i was so werid at first... she basically has to save her 'love' I aint gonna tell you anymore... u gotta watch it. Then I started getting into it... how little events affect things!!! Trust me highly original! Dont think of me as a film critic... I just say how I feel aight! ... Last but not least... 'TRANSFORMERS!!! ... ROBOTS IN DISGUISE!" Damn I had the toys so it would not be right not to have seen any of the episodes... and the Movie... I know all of you have heard of the Transformers... Well reminds me of my childhood... the Movie is so 80's cool! And the music... so 80's rock! Considering most of the tracks were done by Vince Di Cola... famous for the music for Rocky 4!!! Great cartoon... they sure dont make them how they used too!...

That's enough for now... I'm hungry! ;)

...New Year's Revolution... [04 Jan 2004|01:45pm]
[ mood | drained ]
[ music | Never Again - Justin Timberlake ]



Well as its the new year ... I thought might aswell make a few Revolutions ... Oh I mean Resolutions.
1st and foremost ... sort myself out ... that includes in order of preference:

Job
Job
Job

Well ... I think thats about it hehehe... Well the way I figure it having a job is my main head scratch. Not that I dont have a job ... I have, really I have! I work at Heathrow as the "Hombre" dude (Like Joey was in some random episode of Friends). Don't get me wrong the pay is great ... but my mind is suffering ... I swear I'm getting dumb working there, its so mind-numbinbly boring. So my friend and I have decided to set up our own business... somehow. Designing anything from products to graphics to even maybe interiors. So our first step is a name. We came up with the name Jaiusi© Cos people call me Jai and people call him Usi ... get it? So heres what i've been doing for the past coupke of days ... our first business card design ... tell me what u guys think aight!



(((Centering was done with help from online buddy and all round good friend Mons! a.k.a Juiciest!)))

Lastnight I went with a couple of mates to another mates house... and Logan was there... if you don't know who he is he's my godson... and 2ft of utter and complete madness!!!


Nah he may look cute...but he's CRAZY!


He just kept running around and biting people and dropping things and falling down ... so much. I think cos my sister gave him some pastry and he must have got some mad Hyper-Sugar-Rush. Well he was all over the gaff... then he started whinning and shouting (ok screaming) maybe it had something to do with the fact that it was like 11:30pm and he was just getting restless? Oh well I'll tell you guys more stories of my Mad-Ass Godson... all in good time!

Ok... I'm feeling really tired ... and for some strange reason I always go to sleep late... and last night it was because of these two films!:



Predator was started quite late prob about 11:30pm. I started watching that about 1/3 of the way through... as well as watching WWE Smackdown and Bad Company... randomly flicking through the channels ... surfing as you'd call it! But most of my attention was on Predator... I think this is really a good film even if you're not a Arnie fan... cos he doesn't over do it ... as in his character isnt super-cheesey or anything ... and the Predator takes a lot of presidence in the film so you could say Arnie is the suporting actor in a way?!?! But yeah its a wicked film... scary, actioney, alieny, loads of gunnery and of course ARNIE!!! The second film I watched was recommended by my friend Naima. I remember once picking it up in HMV and it looked like an "arty-farty" film cos of the reviews and stuff... u know like films like "Chocolat" and "The Piano" but I saw "The Piano" about 3 months ago and actually watched it all the way through! Crazy, I always thought myself as an action film kinda dude! So that kinda gave me some respect for all those "arty-farty" films. So I burrowed it off a mate last night and was determined to watch all of it! But little did I know Predator was on and that Amelie was like 153mins long or 2hrs 55mins long! It is really a good film but I think you need to keep an open mind and just take all of it in! The film is beautifully shot and from the first 5mins it had me intrigued... its just about a girl who... actually I'm not gonna say... watch it and tell me what you think!mya... All I know that I was smiling all the way through it!!! Then I went to bed at 4:30am *slumpf* onto my bed... ZZZZZZZZ...
