I'm a Creep.



If I could run out and fly off to some place far away where would I go? Well...


Potala Palace in Tibet. Perched upon Marpo Ri hill, 130 meters above the Lhasa valley, the Potala Palace rises a further 170 meters and is the greatest monumental structure in all of Tibet. Early legends concerning the rocky hill tell of a sacred cave, considered to be the dwelling place of the Bodhisattva Chenresi (Avilokiteshvara), that was used as a meditation retreat by Emperor Songtsen Gampo in the seventh century AD. In the seventh century, King Songtsan Gambo of the Tubo Dynasty had the princesses of Nepal and Tang emperor as his concubines. To mark the marriage, he built the 999-room palace which covers an area of 410,000 square meters and has a floor space of 130,000 square meters. This structure stood until the seventeenth century, when it was incorporated into the foundations of the greater buildings still standing today.

Enough History! I have always wanted to go there having heard stories about it from my aunt who works in Tibet. It is a fascinating place and has a mysterious aura around it. This would be the perfect time to go there, to get over the traumatic state of boredom that i'm experiencing at the moment. Imagine sitting atop the palace tower watching the sun go down behind the snow capped mountains. Exquisite!

Well, at the moment I can think of only one song :

When you were here before,
Couldn't look you in the eyes,
You look like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry,
You float like a feather,
In a beautiful weather,
I wish I was special,
You're so fucking special,
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doin' here,
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I wanna perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doin' here,
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
Wish I was special...
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doin' here,
I don't belong hereā€¦ I don't belong here

History

: The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question "How can we eat?" the second by the question "Why do we eat?" and the third by the question "Where shall we have lunch?"
