Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me

It was an ambitious double album made in 1987. It contained the most perfect Cure song ever: "Just Like Heaven". I bought it when it first came out on CD. Now it is remastered into a 2CD Deluxe Edition, which i happily double dipped for. It is The Cure's 'white album'. It contains, on a singular release, every perceived possibility of every genre or style of 'A Song By A Band'. It's title (these were the 80s) is frank, honest, insistent, direct & artistic. Oh yes, it sports one of the best cover art ever (that's Robert Smith's own blood red lips). It is that good, and you would be doing yourself a favour by simply purchasing it, displaying it & hopefully one day, listening to it & getting moved by it...Simply Elegant.

Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me - The Cure

Addicted

Robert Palmer sang about being "Addicted To Love".

Some losers are addicted to Drugs.

Most guys are addicted to Porn.

I am definitely addicted to Music.

Girls are addicted to Shopping.


Can one be addicted to Baby Smell? *shivers uncontrollably, snot running*

Changes

David Bowie had this song "Changes" that was used some time back in a Swatch ad...the lyrics might not be accurate but i always thought he was singing these words:

~ Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes...Turn & face the strange ~

Kayden is changing. It's normal i guess, but the changes are subtle & daily, meaning he is still our son, but he is not the same person he was yesterday. It's amazing & unsettling at the same time.

He's growing bigger. His milk intake is increasing. His sleeping patterns are erratic. It seems he is cognizant about his surroundings (see that glint in his eye?). But at other times, it seems he couldn't care less.

But whoever Kayden is now, are all our adult musings & expectations that we force onto him...we think we can suss him out...we think we know better...we think "jiang hai si lao de lah" (older ginger tastes more fiery)...

I seriously think we don't have a clue. And we are too gutless to admit it.

Kayden is always changing. And we, as his parents, have to turn & face the strange, no matter how scary that is.

Dun Prey Prey.

...a BIG THANK YOU to all Kayden's fans for SMS-ing your votes...er,,,we mean the BIG NICE CARD with your well-wishes.
