memory fragment: skull ring

again, back in highschool, i used to wear rings. one of them was a skull ring similar to what Captain Teague had (Keith Richard's character in Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End). the other was a dragon ring. unfortunately, i lost them and i blame my AP teacher for that. he saw me wearing it and he told me not to wear it in school. why? he said those were the kinds of rings that gangsters and fratmen wear. if i kept wearing that, i might be mistaken as a member. what the? the school was filled with fratmen, and im the only one with those kinds of rings (and im not a member of course). what the hell is he talking about? besides, those rings were given to me by my own mother, for my birthday! it was a fact back then that i have this infatuation for skulls (which my mother didnt seem to mind. i have a skull paperweight, the very first desktop wallpaper i had for my PC was a skull, i drew skulls on my notebooks, point is i like anything that had skulls on it, if not skull figurines or something similar, i still appreciate it now, i still have a handkerchief with skull print. and when i say skull, i mean human skull).

anyway, i miss my skull ring (i think i lost in on a tricycle, since my AP teacher forbid me to wear it, i kept it in my pocket, right pocket to be specific and when i ride the tricycle, sometimes the contents fall out, so i think that's where i lost it and i was really pissed when i got home to find out that my rings werent in my pocket anymore). ive been looking for something like the one i lost and well, it seems that skull rings like that wasnt that common (or im just not looking hard enough or im looking on the wrong places). i think stone cold steve austin also has a skull ring but im not sure if its the same as the one keith richards wear.

the skull ring that i used to wear looks like the pic below, 90% similar, mine had smaller forehead and rounder eye sockets.

memory fragment: highschool locker

back in highschool, i think around sophomore year, i labeled my locker with the following letters: VEGJACBUG

the letters were supposed to represent the first letter of the names of my crushes back then. i remember what the letters V,E,G,J,C,U,G stand for. but i cant seem to recall who A and B are.

Mobius strip

its almost midnight (or maybe its midnight already), and im sleepy. but since its so hot, im sure that i wont be able to fall asleep.

anyway, ive been trying to recall what song mentioned Mobius strip in its lyrics. i kept thinking of alanis morissette until i gave up and googled it. the answer? nelly furtado's "Hey Man"

Hey, Man lyrics
Hey, man, don't look so scared.
You know I'm only testing you out.
Hey man, don't look so angry,
you're real close to figuring me out.

We are a part of a circle.
It's like a mobius strip,
and it goes round and round until it loses a link.
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again.

Hey, man, we look at each other with ample eyes,
so why not some time to discover what's behind your eyes?
I've got so many questions that I want to ask you.
I am so tired of mirrors- pour me a glass of your wine!

And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again!
I've got a bunch of government cheques at my door.
Each morning I try to send them back but they only send me more.
I look at myself in the mirror; am I vital today?
Hey, man, I let my conscience get in the way!

And there's a shadow in the sky , and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again,
and I don't mean to rain on your parade,
but pathos has got me once again...
and I don't want ambivalence no more,
I don't want ambivalence no more,
I don't want ambivalence no more,
no I don't want ambivalence no more!


i had no idea what a mobius strip is so i had to check it on wikipedia.
