Czesław Niemen - Dziwny jest ten świat

[balljointedomi]

After updating this journal, I often get this 'what the hell did I write it for?' feeling. Why did I feel like telling someone that I like this or that song or what I ate today or what my opinion on this or that matter is. Who cares about it, or especially, why do I care to share my opinions, tastes, thoughts... I know. I procrastinate. When I'm

I often think about this exact same thing. And I don't even post just to avoid doing other things. I just post because for some reason I do want to share, no matter if anyone cares. It's like keeping a diary, perhaps? But then I always wonder why I bother.

Then I post anyway.

I just suck at reading through and commenting everything on my f-list...

By the way, remember that song you gave me to write Yohji/Omi about? Well, I just heard it from the radio the other day.

That was totally creepy.

This song here is interesting and pretty, I like it!

This is weird because I'm not like that in rl-- I don't like letting people into my world, telling them about my interests, tastes. I like talking with my friends or family members, but just from time to time. Generally, I'm a loner. I feel that things are more special for me when I keep them to myself. I generally find talking with people a bit pointless, telling each other about the things that interest us... I would rather enjoy those things in solitude than talk about enjoying them XD Yeah, I guess it could be like keeping a diary-- 'I post for myself, not for others'... But writing entries takes some time, I sometimes have to check a word or two in a dictionary, upload some images... Yeah, why I bother? XD

The song's origin is Finnish ^^ The song is Holly Dolly - Dolly Song (Ieva's Polka)... it comes from Loituma's song? Something like that.

I'm the same -- I'm not like that in real life at all. XD I've started talking more about my interests to people over the past few years, but in general, I don't really enjoy discussing with people. Journal is a little different, I'm not sure why. Maybe because it's the written format. I can edit my comment until I'm happy with. Not so when you need to talk!

Oh wow I didn't know that! Hmm, I wonder if the song was the Finnish one... I just don't think so because I think I would've realised it if I was hearing Finnish words. Maybe there are several versions of it though. No I'm pretty sure I didn't hear that original. I think the remix has just somehow surfaced in the radio now! It was still totally creepy to hear it all of a sudden in a fucking grocery store. So there I am with a package of bread in my hand, imagining Yohji and Omi dancing on the aisle... *lol*

I guess we can find a few more examples as for why talking on lj is better than in rl... Like, when I feel like letting people know I like some song, I can just post the video and those who want will check it out-- it's more comfortable than asking your rl friend to watch the video and you're not even sure if they are in the mood for it. I don't like socializing too much in rl, even when I'm in the mood for talking with people, bacause they usually want more and more of me-- you will meet with someone a few times, go to a party, and then they will keep calling and trying to talk you into going again and asking if there is something wrong with you if you don't want to go... XD I don't like getting too close with people. But I can be a clinging friendly retard when drunk so I may create an impression of a social, outgoing person to those who don't know better

*hides in shame*

I should've recognised this... XD I did think that it had very familiar folk song melodies, but I just figured that other countries might have similar tunes. And maybe they do.

*lol* Okay so I could talk to you about all that "phonetically inspired gibberish" (something done quite a lot in Finnish due to our interest in phonetically rhyming lyrics even when nonsensical) and the dialects and everything, but I'm not really in the mood for now. Suffice it to say that my roots are in these areas and I'm very interested in traditional Finnish folk stuff like history, language aspects (etymology and development of language), culture, music and mythology and such stuff. XD

Seems it's the original ^^
