I can’t really.  This is a song by a band called the Flobots, who are from somewhere in America.  Their song is simple, yet addictive and I like the lyrics.  A segment of afore-mentioned lyrics are now featured on the right hand side of this page.  Yes, that’s right!  Over there!  You can watch their video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuK2A1ZqoWs.  It’s perhaps a slightly disturbing video, and I don’t really get it.  The video features strong images of war – be warned – but the song, to me, is uplifting, inspiring and motivating.

The picture is of one of my cats, Leelu.  Isn’t she cute?  I thought so too.  She was a kitten then and absolutely totsy.  Cute wee baby.  Aww.  I think pictures brighten up posts a bit, relieve the monotony so to speak.  (Of course, my blog would never be regarded in such a manner…….)

The song “Handlebars” by Flobots really is buzzing in my head.  They sing things like “I can tie a knot in a cherry stem”, “Me and my friend saw a platypus, me and my friend made a comic book”.  Just the “I can ride a bike with no handlebars” – what they are, essentially, doing is celebrating all the minor non-achievements of life.  Except, to them they are achievements.  And that’s what I like about it!  So what are mine?

1. I can tell you how to put a shelf up straight
2. I can make an amazing birthday cake
3. I know how to make my boyfriend laugh
4. I know how to make macaroni cheese, and the best macaroni cheese, that you’ll ever eat (that goes to the Flobots tune!)
5. I can play lots of songs on several instruments

That’s only a few, but I can do lots of things!  Even maintain a blog!  Woo…  I hope this will get more interesting for you as I go back to university and I am learning lots of interesting things to tell you about.

My parting gift to you?  A picture of a chocolate digestive, my favourite biscuit.
