of solid and matter

heh~ I finally obtained a copy of the cowboy bebop ost1 today (yay)..The music is so retro. Fresh out of an 80s show. Lots of brass, and jazz, performed by the seatbelts, composed by the one and only yoko kanno. Favourite tracks are Tank! and Piano Black. Oddly enough, Steve Conte sings Rain. And I like that little review of the seatbelts' history. Amusing.

Borrowed and returned Mitch Albom : the five people you meet in heaven.

I just have to say that Eddie is one heck of a lonely guy.

I couldn't sort my feelings out on this one. I didn't burst out into tears or anything. Probaly cause I've steeled myself for this heart-wrenching things..It's generally a good read. A kind that makes you thnk deep, and is not too thick..196 pages. Fragments of it still linger in my mind. Personally it brings Eddie's life to surface. If your life flashes before your eyes before you die, it relives itself once again on seeing these 5 people that changed your life, wether you realize it or not after your death. That people are never perfect, and it takes all sorts to make the world. That the life we lead is merely a prologue. I suppose in a way the meetings are a sort of self-discovery, answering questions hidden in the Pandora's Box.

My favourite turn of events is when he meets up with the Captain. The 2nd meeting. Somehow, man alywas show their true colours in battlefield. Literally, blood, sweat and tears. A guresome reality that Eddie came to know, how the Captain shot him to keep him alive, while he himself was blown by a land mine, spraying into an array of limbs and mush, splattering blood on the windshield of the truck that led him to safety.

Slumped down on the bed to read it, finishing about 3 ½ hours later. I know, I read pretty fast. I should be fined for overclocking.
