::AN OLD NOTE FROM FADZ: (thanks girlfriend) We were at Strawberry Fields just now. We have been working our ass off so that the piggy bank will be filled for a couple of days and then quickly thinned away. Not being able to catch up with old friends causes so much pain. “Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding is all you see” Somehow for that 4 hours, the 5 months of wait and the eager yet untold stories were finally said. We were happy when we sang along to Lucy in the sky with diamonds. “Picture yourself on a boat in a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes”. Somehow singing makes life more cheerful…. remember when we sang verses and verses of Weezer and Juliana Hatfield’s song? We were happy when we looked at John, Yoko and Sean. “Beautiful Boy”. And we were happy when we laughed at an overcame fear. Jamal, the beauty, Mar the charming princess, fads the virtue one, Ravin the other princess and Hanie…..I have not yet discover the full meaning of her name……We were just happy. Even for a while. Parting is such sweet sorrow. See Mar, this is all we need. A couple of smokes, a cup of coffee, and a little bit of conversation. You and me and five bucks at Strawberry Fields. Forever.::
