i went to martial arts last night, didn't really think I did did any major hard gruelling training, and yet this morning couldn't get out of bed till 9.30. and i hurt in some strange places, like the little toe on my right foot, and the big knuckle on my middle finger of my left hand.
I came into school and made this inane small talk with the porter at the lodge, and i left him with the profound words - yes, we love life, we are life-lovers.
I've listened to Aaliyah for a long time now. i think the first time I heard her music was when i was 19, I was on holiday in Vancouver at the time, staying with my cousins. It was the summer time, and I think one of her songs (i forget which one) must have got to no. 1 at the time, because they were playing her song everywhere, in shops, you could hear it playing from car radios as you stood on the pavement, and i loved it. I bought her album - 'age ain't nothin but a number' on that old fashioned medium, the cassette tape. I can't remember where I bought it, and i don't know where it is now, but i listened to it loads at the time. loved that song that was in Dr. Dolittle, tried to get it, but couldn't seem to find it in the UK. I saw her in romeo must die - well with Jet Li in it, that was a must, thought she was pretty good in that. And then that tragic accident happened - and I have to say I was shocked, and I couldn't believe it at first - I know this is a cliche, but she had so much talent, and it was like she had only just started, she had so much more to give. I bought the Romeo must Die soundtrack in germany last september whilst i was attending a conference. I thought about buying her Aaliyah album, but i didn't because it made me feel so sad. I felt sad listening to the Romeo album, at first. But its a nice cd - it sounds a little dated now though, I have to say.
But now, her single's been released over here, 'more than a woman', and its a lovely song. It is so poignant, because its like she's singing to you from beyond the grave, and i'm moved whenever i hear it. That girl really had talent. Aaliyah, i salute you, wherever you are.
