Check out another cool song...It's by The Flaming Lips...Let's sing it!

Fight Test
------------------------
I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue, in always being cool
So it came time to fight
I thought "I'll just step aside"
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlight begins
It's all a mystery
Oh. To fight is to defend
If it's not now then tell me when
Would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept
But to surrender I just wept
And regretted this moment
Oh that I was the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlight begins
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
'Cause I'm a man, not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid
You have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them
If I could I would
But you're with him, now it'd do no good
I should've fought him
But instead I let him
I let him take it

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

Well well...It's been awhile since I've done some scratches over here. Where to start? How about X interviewing me? Here are some excerpts taken from the interview.
[X] : So what's your current situation now in life?
[Bernard] : *coughs* Hmm....gonna get out of army soon with little more than a month left.
[X] : So what are you gonna do after that?
[Bernard] : Well, I'll go work for awhile and if possible take a part-time degree if I'm able to.
[X] : Why are you doing this when most people after completing their army liability go back to school?
[Bernard] : Haha! Mr. X, you're getting a bit nosy here eh? OK..plenty of reasons if you must know. Some of them personal and some financial. 'Nuff said. Next question please, X.
[X] : If you say so, bro. OK, next question then. How's life with your girlfriend? It's like ever since you and her were together, you've abandon us! Come'on now fill us in on this.
[Bernard] : Yeah yeah...I get what you're hinting. Haha! I'm sorry! I guess it's been awhile since I updated you guys. But hey, the truth is, she's my listening ear, my confidant now. All I want to say, I've told her. So I don't really see the point of update you guys anymore. What I feel and what I'd like to say, she knows. She's always there for me.
[X] : I'm getting goosebumps here... *sighs* So that means you aren't gonna visit us more often next time?
[Bernard] : Well....not really. Maybe just not as often as I used to.
[X] : Yes yes...We understand. Ok on to the next question 'cause we don't have much time left. Siamese Fighting Fishes. Ah...So how's your latest craze coming along? Heard that you've got quite number of them since your last visit here.
[Bernard] : Know you're gonna ask that...Yeah lots more than before and many different types too. Right now, I'm concentrating on the Halfmoon, Crowntail and the Wild species of it. Pretty cool animals I must say, especially the wild ones, they're a jumpy lot. My dad even got into the act too, he's keeping Plakats, the short tail species. It's much easier to maintain than the ones I've got. Yeah, and we're taking part in the coming Betta Kingdom Betta Competition this month at Sembawang Shopping Centre. Gonna send in 6 of our fishes to take part. In the previous competition, one of my dad's fishes got into the top 8.
[X] : Cool shit...OK our last question for the day...Guess what?
[Bernard] : What?
[X] : Tennis. How's things in that department?
[Bernard] : Well, right now I'm kinda like semi-retired. Don't play much nowadays and the saddest thing is I can only play doubles! I can't play singles for nuts now, my lines are gone and I'm not that physically fit now to run down all the shots. It's a blow to me, man. But my mixed doubles combination with my girlfriend is going pretty well. We're unbeaten since last year. Haha...mainly it's because she does all the running. I'd prefer to just volley. Yup 'nuff said. Are we going to end here, X? I need to rush off for my appointment.
[X] : Yep! We've come to the end of this interview. Thank you once again for visiting us. Hope you'll drop by more often and give us an update of your life.
[Bernard] : Sure will. Bye! *Out the door*
[X] : Woah! That's fast. OK, if you've got any questions to ask Bernard or you want to say something about this interview. Just drop us a line on the comment box below. Bye for now!

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me
