Vincent

Starry study night

Pardon the parody of the opening lines of Don McLean's song 'Vincent'. A song written in tribute to artist Vincent van Gogh, the opening lines of "starry starry night" makes references to Van Gogh's work - "Starry Night".

Will someone remind me that the exams have barely begun? Alright. Not that I need the reminder. The problem with me is that I lack the fire to start studying. Not so much of starting, but more of the continuation of it that totally defies me. How can anyone read and understand something so remotely related to anything they have experienced?

Now then. Taking a short break from the dreary history notes (history has never been so boring), I am here with a few more book recommendations, namely those by Mark Frost. Can't really say how good it is, but upon completion of one of his book, I immediately went to the public library to grab another of his.

Did I mention about my thoughts on History? I believe quite a number of people share my exact sentiments right now. History should be left in the past where it should be left alone, and not disturbed and reviewed over and over again.

Here's another video to drive away the boredom. This one is entitled Vincent, by Tim Burton. It makes us wonder what would it be like if we were not who others depict us to be, but rather, someone else.





Food for thought, while I go grab some real physical food to quell my hunger.
