Transient Ischemic attack (TIA)


A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is caused by a temporary state of reduced blood flow in a portion of the brain. This is most frequently caused by tiny blood clots that temporarily occlude a portion of the brain. A primary blood supply to the brain is through two arteries in the neck (the carotid arteries) that branch off within the brain to multiple arteries that supply specific areas of the brain. During a TIA, the temporary disturbance of blood supply to an area of the brain results in a sudden, brief decrease in brain function.

Kops Win!!!!

Heart

That matters


When they said it could not be done we have done it. Beating the mighty Barcelona.

When the draw was done a while back I commented to Jen if ever on a day to beat Barcelone then Kops would be the team and with a nightmare build up to the game (golfer in action)

Dare we dream of Instanbul again???

I was offer to watch it at a fren's place that night since I do not have Astro, I turn her invite down, I thought I swing by Com's place or watch wiht Scuddie (who I have not met in a long time) and and while reading the papers I saw that TV3, 9TV, 8TV, NTV7 t were showing all the matches LIVE!!!!

So no need to go anywhere... watch at home la


"Rafael Benitez's nightmare lead up to Liverpool taking on Barcelona in their Champions League last 16 first leg clash turned into a fairytale on Wednesday as they celebrated a famous 2-1 victory over the Champions League holders.

Indeed having promised that any player found guilty of bad behaviour at last week's training camp in Portugal would be punished it was the two at the centre of the storm Craig Bellamy and John Arne Riise - who allegedly was beaten with a golf club by Bellamy - who answered in the best possible fashion as they scored the goals."

Its time for singing

I got invited for karaoke surprisingly by my Port Klang fren... so tonight we sing, we celebrate the life of big bro and I wonder if she will end up serenading to me kakakaka very wishful thinking

Nah.. just a few good fren and family getting together at the Curve... been a long time since actually sang lol.

Me and my hockey

Past 2 week I have been stepping onto the turf to play Hockey, yeah playing it. Mind you I was an above average player representing my district, state and national till the age groups level. In 89 after the Juniors tryout and camp training my knee gave way as i took a hit on it.

I picked up Umpiring till becoming an International Umpire then I walked away. Today I am a social hockey player. These are my amongst my new group of people that I socialize with

Back to the present. So not holding a hockey stick to close to 2 years I stepped into the field to play social hockey with guy younger and older then me some even ex-national players. Its fun, a good way for me to work of my stress and build my fitness.

Any sport I player I first play with my heart, I always tell my team you got no heart dun play. When you have heart you inspire people, and I love to inspire people. In a game like hockey you got to make the game and build the game.

Fact is I scored 3 goals and screaming in joy after each one I score ... heck I was the top scorer of that match


1st goal playing attacking midfielder build form my half to the winger transfer the play then made a lovely pass across the circle sending the defense scurrying to cover into the circle, I move to the penalty spot as my winger worked the ball in I scream for the pass , he squared it to me and i slammed it home

@nd was the goal of the match... I switched into the left win... running and moving (yeah actually running), we moved the ball a lot .. I got the ball on the 25... relay a transfer to the center who transfer to the right... i ran into the corner left of the circle pulling the defender with me but my forward did no come in... i call for ball running back to the center of the circle as i call for the pass the right half slammed the ball a cross into the circle i ran to meet the ball form the left as the defender chasing me and the keeper coming out to cover on the run i lunge forward connecting the ball with my stick slamming the ball grounder sounding the board .. I was lying on the turf screaming for joy at my goal and got squashed by my team mates

#rd goal was simple playing center forward the winger worked the ball down the line one defender with me the keeper came out to cover... i ran in as the defender in front of mt then pull back the defender not realizing i back to open space the winger squared the ball and i had a nice reverse back stick floating the ball into the goal

HU HA arms in the air hugged by alll Vadai rocks!!!

It was an enjoyable game and body aches all over....Now If I could only last that long in sex hahaha

Crossing the Rubicon

Its funny coz not so long ago I blogged about this very topic.

I had a superb 6 days away, time ot regroup, think laugh felt pain joy tear scare... all to be blogged....

I felt I had to write bout this.

In its metaphorical sense, passing the point of no return can be used synonymously with crossing the Rubicon — taking a course of action with significant and irreversible consequences.

The use of crossing the Rubicon derives from the crossing of the river Rubicon by Julius Caesar in 49 BC, who thereby violated Roman law and rendered armed conflict inevitable. As Caesar said at the time: "alea iacta est" ("the die is cast").

Many a time we are faced with such a predicament, I choose the word predicament because at time it can be for no fault of our own. I look in the mirror and I can see my life riddled with predicaments. Hard choices we had to make. The most difficult were one made on the spur of the moment, when you back is to the way. The fuse is lit and there is no turning back.

Its never easy, and in the end there is never a win-win solution, in life sometimes we have to lose. I look back to learn not to wish it was different. There are times in your life the choices you make affect others, and the choices others make affect you. Like it or you have to pick your self up and move forward and sometimes alone.

I am where I am because somewhere, at some point in time decision, choices made lead me to where I am now. I could wish for the world but I am a realist, in a few short weeks I turn a year older. I fight the fight thats need to be fought, win the battles I need to win, I still smile, I still laugh, I still cry and I still hurt but isnt that what being human is.

I am still alive and moving on

Tony D'Amato: On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is - can you win or lose like a man?

for a friend


Tony D'Amato: That's what a leader's about: sacrifice. The times he's gotta sacrifice because he's gotta lead, by example. Not by fear and not by self-pity.

Time of Crisis, depend on who u can depend only

The phrase swept off their feet is common especially in trauma situation

Being jolted out of bed with the handphone ringint o find my cousing calling me "Annai come quick something wrong with papa" are not words one like to hear. I sat up in bed as she repeated the same line. My reply "Ok I am coming" Got my ex to come in to take of Jnr who was sleeping with me. Jumping into my shorts, grabbing my mobiles ran out of the house. I did not tell anyone inthe house because not point in alarming them ( I did get a tongue lashing for that), at a point of crisis everyone is on a need to know basis that my philosophy.

I could not find my slippers but I knew my jogging shoes were in the car... ran to the car barefooted, my mind already thinking of contingency plans and who I should call as a backup. Driving as hard as I could, checked him into emergency, kept the son posted on the progress (driving from seremban), kept my aunt and cousin in one piece and work thru the waves.

It helps when you know someone in the General Hospitals, things flow smoothly. Remember that. My uncle had a TIA (another blog) and with such a traumatic event like this happening after a few days after the wedding dinner gave everyone concern a traumatic.

When the family got together after all tongue lash me for not telling them, I kept quiet for a while, taking a lot of shit, then in a respectful manner put it across to them

In a point of medical emergency, you need calm collected people to get thing moving, you people who can run, organize and get thing done. You cant have a bus load of 15 people following one sick man into the hospital, you can over whelm the poor guy by visiting. At a point of crisis the only important people are the immediate family the wife the daughter and the son. Only much later the rest were informed. Granted I am not a doctor but I can deliver when needed. My cousin need me to help her at a point of crisis and that that matters. After my explanation I got 2 apologies and 3 sheepishly looking elders

Traumatic experiences likes this puts things in prespective.... "People are usually surprised at how much a crisis or trauma affects them. It frequently changes the way they think, their values, habits, feelings and behaviour. It influences most aspects of their life. Usually people do not expect their families to be affected as much as they are. But a major event or crisis in the life of one member always influences their family. Although it is made up of individuals, a family is a unit. What changes one member, changes the others. But this also means there is much that family members can do to help someone who is affected by trauma.

A crisis or trauma can also bring benefits to a family in the form of greater understanding, closeness or a new appreciation of each other. It can help to focus on what is most important in life. But sometimes it can bring difficulties or misunderstanding, especially if family members do not understand why they are reacting the way they are nor why they are having to adapt to each other in new ways. Often it may not be clear how the feelings and even bodily reactions are connected with what has happened, especially some time after the event. The time it takes to recover from trauma is always underestimated.

Most families can get over these problems when they begin to understand why they are occurring and accept that it will take time. "

Back to blogging / Eulogy

After a 1 week break, holiday, funeral service, CNY, Hospital scare and lots more happenings I am back to blogging.

My break was a worthy break no internet no emails no sms (well almost, I was not allowed to break free of that and sometimes feel like shuting the damm phone off but I cant and I explain why later)

I was on a 1 week holiday and it started of with the 31st day ceremony prayers, for him I have these words to say

What we say today is only an inadequate expression of what we carry in our hearts. Words pale in the shadow of grief; they seem insufficient even to measure the brave sacrifice of the ones you loved and we so admire.

V didn ’t lose his life. He completed it. And we move on

V was a great son to his parents, a loving brother to his only sister, a quiet and helpful cousin/nephew and a darling to the community.

So short so fast sometimes thats the best way

For V = 31st Day Prayers

Hardly believe its been a month since V passed on... last night again I was at his home in Puchong helping setting things up for the 31st Day Prayers . Having done this is was easy as I know the steps.... well it was a busy night but you can hardly expect some people to believe it when I say I am busy.. woke up in the morning lead the way to deal with bones and the ashes... the the cleansing of the house and the afternoon prayers.

What is a 31st-Day Memorial
On the 31st day, a memorial service is held. In some traditions it is a repetition of the funeral rites. At home, all thoroughly clean the house. A priest purifies the home, and performs the sapindikarana, making one large pinda (representing the deceased) and three small, representing the father, grandfather and greatgrandfather. The large ball is cut in three pieces and joined with the small pindas to ritually unite the soul with the ancestors in the next world. The pindas are fed to the crows, to a cow or thrown in a river for the fish. Some perform this rite on the 11th day after cremation. Others perform it twice: on the 31st day or (11th, 15th, etc.) and after one year. Once the first sapindikarana is completed, the ritual impurity ends. Monthly repetition is also common for one year.

In between morning and lunch I met Jen for breakfast..... the mee kari near his office was awesome... Jen had oranges for me and Jnr Vadai hehehe its gonna be an orgy of oranges....

I am signing off for a week

C ya

Vadai out

Sarah McLachlan - Angel

Sarah McLachlan - Angel

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here.


The next life - death
A very beautiful song, and I love it. I have found that this song is about a friend who has taken his life. It starts out saying "Spend all your time waiting for that second chance ,for a break that would make it okay" This means that a person has made a mistake and is waiting and waiting for a second chance. "There's always one reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day..." For someone who is depressed, it is always the worst at the end of the day.

Now this part is the singer thinking about the loss, "I need some distraction, oh beautiful release memory seeps from my veins let me be empty and weightless" The last line says "and maybe I'll find some peace tonight " Meaning the singer knows that her friend is in a safe place now... in the arms of an angel, so she can find peace.

The chorus goes as follows:
"In the arms of an angel, fly away from here.
from this dark cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear. you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie, you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there"

The person who has passed is with an angel. And the singer is remembering the loss in her room, which een if crowded, her hotel room would be empty, dark and cold. The dead person is now free from all burdens, troubles and problem, and will find comfort in the arms of the angel.

Valentines again

Get real

http://darthvadai.blogspot.com/2006/02/valentines.html


Dats what was written in my blog last year and I would ask the same question again

By the way...how many singles are free for dinner lol

If valentines is a day of expressing love then the purest way in all purpose and desire would not be the $$$ but the manner it is presented from the heart

Time to fly away

Some people

We have in the pocket of relationships people, who directly or indirectly by way or thinking or otherwise who have the habit of sending something stupid over the sms, something there have no relevance and sound so absurd even if it mean belittling themselves that you got to buy that...

I do not know if the feel remorse or pity coz time and time we try again but is the same old story

These kind of people have the question and answer the question for you.

Vadai says let it be la... aint worth yt

and they say Lightning never strikes twice..

and they say Lightning never strikes twice at the same place..... waaaachaaaaaaa

Gloating time.... I had a shitty Monday cleaning up other people mess but not in a quiet way...... further which being on leave for the coming week means I had to delegate work as well as clear my table. Having missed the battle of the bands over the weekend further added to my frustration despite the top two guys calling me to ask how I was doing gave me a small measure of comfort.

My usual daily conversation with Jen help deflect some anguish... even an invitation to go with him to meet the Siemens chick (slipped me mind she was Malayalam and here was I suggesting David to meet her) for PR work sheesh.

Anyway my evening was better then my day, firstly a fruitful meeting with my DSP who time and time again has impressed upon me how valuable I am to him... secondly meeting up Jen for our usual cup of "caya" and our usual intellectual discourse over all matters ( a good man to have in a storm).

Fustal was fucking great. I dun know if it was the "caya" or the 2 half boil eggs I had or my medical situation or the stars aligned in what manner Futsal was great, I played all position till one point after winning I drop to my knees panting for breath. No, I was not trying to kill my self or be a mad man but if felt good on the court. I have adapted well to playing sweeper where I sit back and try to build the game ( my lack of fitness was also a contributing factor) so time to time my foray into the goal was both worth it. I ran my self to the ground and when I could not contribute I stepped back being a goalie and build thru there.


Kodak moment (same like 2 weeks ago), a clearance/shot at goal that had the work goal all over it.....

This time playing for the weaker team, sweeper role as usual....being attacked again and again as we fight hard to stay on the turf... I block a short pass... ball spill free near my D on coming attacker is gonna take a shot, I look up to see him and in my line of sight I see the goal... wishful thinking? Why not! This time I was aiming for the goal as I got to the ball 1st and in one sweeping motion lobbed the ball. Not I have to say even for me, technically its a tough shot ( I got to be realistic and brag a bit also)

On a Futsal court there net above so you can lift the ball to high to lob as it will hit the roof... and again the minute the ball left my feel... I arch my head left to get a better view... the ball in mid flight my hands were in the air (ala Shearear) knowing it was going it as I had guess the keeper was offf the line and the ball sailed and dipped perfectly into Goal!!!!

(Gloating time) goal!!!!! gooooaaaallllll!!!! go .go...go..goooooooooaaalll!!!!

Awesome (though we did lose 2-1)

After the game it began to drizzle as I was driving back passing Sunway there was fire works display (dun now why).... parked the car at the side of the road sat on the boot leaning back.. feeling the drizzle and watching magnificent fireworks!!!

It made my day.... Lovely


An idiots guide to.....


What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure of blood in your arteries (blood vessels). Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). Your blood pressure is recorded as two figures. For example, 150/95 mmHg. This is said as '150 over 95'.

  • The top (first) number is the systolic pressure. This is the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts.
  • The bottom (second) number is the diastolic pressure. This is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between each heartbeat.

What is high blood pressure?

High blood pressure is a blood pressure that is 140/90 mmHg or above each time it is taken. That is, the blood pressure is 'sustained' at 140/90 mmHg or above. High blood pressure can be:

  • just a high systolic pressure, for example, 170/70 mmHg.
  • just a high diastolic pressure, for example, 120/104 mmHg.
  • or both, for example, 170/110 mmHg.

However, it is not quite as simple as this. Depending on various factors, the level at which blood pressure is considered high enough to be treated with medication can vary from person to person.

Diastolic Blood Pressure. The diastolic pressure (the lower and second number) is the measurement of force as the heart relaxes to allow the blood to flow into the heart. High diastolic pressure (the second and lower number) is a strong predictor of heart attack and stroke in young adults.

Taking a break

Just a couple of days more ( 2 or maybe 3 days) before I take a break form work, from blogging, form badminton, from futsal, from everything.

I head off for the CNY break taking more days then I should and surprisingly being granted so by the company lol. Among the itinerary that I have would be the 31st day prayers for V, a wedding dinner for a cousin, taking Jnr Vadai on a boat ride, handling family politics (that never ends), finding a buyer for a car, meeting all my old kaki for supper. An almost 2 week break.

dreaming ready of it

No turning back

Hockey,

Today was the USM (correction It was the UM -University Malaysia) tournament and we became Champions and Runners-up. Today also for the 1st time I was in a tournament where I met the current and part hockey officials... each urging me back, selling a pot of gold with all kinds of stories.

I guess in many way I am too wild for MHF also a hot potato. I have a sharp tongue and in this world, especially in sport being direct does not help you earn brownie points.

I call a spade a spade.

I also met MHC and AHF Secretary at the same event, each urging me to come back. Why would they want a sharp tongue I wonder, probably coz I know each technical interpretation like the back of my hands and I am the kind of guy who gets things done.

Right now I am enjoying my social hockey, making new friends and most important of all enjoy being single at the 30's club

HOW TO CHOOSE A WINE - for lacy




Was in bed on a Sunday afternoon my mind engrossed with the writing of Tom Clancy, when Lacy buzzed me once..twice for some guides on buying wine as she was out in C4 wiht Ant.

Like as I am the expert but I thought again why not.. a good learning curve... after dispensing some honest feeling bout the brands and not bull shitting I started searching the net for a bit of info and I found this...

"Champagne is a stand out favourite, but red wines such as Shiraz, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon are also a great choice.

Feel like a white? Take a look at a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. We’ve given you a quick low-down on all these wines to help take some of the confusion out of picking the perfect wine.

Champagne
A true romantic classic. What could be sweeter or more passionate than entwining arms with your lover and sipping from a glass full of bubbles? To put a bit of a twist on the classic, drop some chopped strawberries into your glass or try a sparkling rose – it’s pink!

Shiraz
Shiraz tastes different depending on the climate. In cooler areas, you should be able to taste black cherry, pepper and spice. Warmer areas produce notes of chocolate and stewed plum. There’s a lot of depth in a Shiraz and this develops over a period of time so the older the bottle, the more complex the flavour. Try to get an older vintage but if you can’t, the young bottles taste just fine.

Merlot
This is a wine that has been traditionally blended with Cabernet Sauvignon to produce Cabernet Merlot. In Merlot, you can taste plum, redcurrant, mint, pimento, game, earth and leather! Merlot is sweet and is best drunk at a younger age. It’s great to pair with pasta, roasts or Mediterranean vegies.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Another wine that varies in taste according to where the grapes were grown. In cooler areas you should be able to taste mint, blackcurrant, red berries and even some leafiness. In warmer areas, you should be able to get notes of chocolate and tobacco. Cabernet Sauvignon can be quite a dry wine due to the tannins in it.

Chardonnay
In warmer areas Chardonnay has notes of peach, fig and melon. In cooler areas, the flavours become tarter with notes of lemon, grapefruit and green apple. It’s interesting to note that the type of oak barrel the wine ferments in affects the secondary flavours such as nuts, toast and vanilla.


Enjoy

Sauvignon Blanc
New Zealand is famous for producing some of the best Sauvignon Blancs in the world. The flavours of this wine are very diverse, ranging from herbaceousness to tropical fruit, passionfruit and gooseberry to tomato leaf, spice and flint. In stronger varieties of the wine you might be able to taste asparagus, capsicum or gun smoke (wow!). Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect wine for summer and it goes well with seafood – especially oysters. Try and serve it as cold as possible.

So, hopefully, this little guide has given you some tips for choosing the perfect wine. If you’re still a little confused (and who wouldn’t be with all that wine out there?) then just ask the friendly folks at the bottle shop for some help. They’re trained to find you exactly what you’re looking for!

How are you??

When someone asks “How are you?” I could actually tell them, instead of saying “fine” or temporizing. I could immediately say “Oh, been better” or “Up and down” or even “Not so great.” And certainly that would result in some people changing the subject or shifting away; but with other people, it would give them a hint that I do want to talk about things.

Also, if they do try to express sympathy, I could be aware that they’re probably at a loss for what to say or how to say it. We humans ain’t generally so good at talking about things like loss, grief, and bereavement. I know that when I’m faced with a friend who’s going through such things, I often don’t know what to say.

When I ask someone "How's everything going?" I .....

Votes Answer
21 really do care and am open to any response I get.
12 am just being polite and expect them to respond "Fine".
9 Other
5 I don't ever ask anyone this question.
4 get upset and angry internally if the person starts telling me their problems.
0 get visibly upset and look for ways to cut the other person off.

Maybe we all need to learn how to be nice

Worth it, words cant describe the atmosphere, the music the night.

Friggin awesome

Me and Jen was lost in the music

"Fasy, whose real name is Ahmed Faseeh, hails from a musical family in the Maldives. He remembers that his father, also a well-known musician on the islands, first gave him a "beautiful, white steel-stringed acoustic guitar" when he was just 12-years-old.

He has played the guitar ever since, picking up tips and hints from various musicians and experimenting on various chord progressions and styles. He counts Ritchie Blackmore and Joe Satriani among his greatest inspirations."

Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song

Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song

Waiting on a Sunday afternoon
for what I read between the lines, your lies.
feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
so do you laugh or does it cry? reply?

Leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied,
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things you said to me.

Breathing is the hardest thing
to do. with all I've said and
all that's dead for you,
you lied - good bye

Leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things I said to you.


This song has rocking lyrics.. Chris Daughter should do a cover version of this....a lot of great metaphors like 'southern train', 'rusted shame', 'sunday afternoon'...

with all this metaphor is something anyone can relate to from any walk of life.....whether it's about escaping a relationship, problems with addiction, whatever.... the way I see it is about personal freedom - learning to let go of certain things to make way for other things which are more valuable to your life; we all have to learn to do that one way or a another of it will drag us down

I can never get over how great this song is

One of the cartoon I loved to watch


Flashback time


Muttley is a Hanna-Barbera animated fictional character created by Iwao Takamoto, and was voiced by Don Messick (who also voiced Scooby-Doo) and now by Billy West. Muttley, a mixed breed dog, first appeared in Wacky Races in 1968, as the sidekick of a nasty but incompetent and horribly accident-prone villain named Dick Dastardly.

Muttley does not really talk; his main examples of speech are his trademark snicker---a wheezing, asthmatic laugh (usually made at Dick's expense)---and a mushy, sotto voce grumble against an unsympathetic or harsh Dick (usually along the lines of "Rassum brassum msblsssl Rick Rastardly!").

Being too nice??

Sometimes being to nice does not help...for some it like a curse for some its a natural reaction...

One of a natural instinct is being nice but when people use it and then boomerang you against it something got to give. Its difficult to comprehend why people do what they do? Me, I am the kind of person who wants to know and sometimes it backfires.

Sometime you got to look the other way and carry on. Its tough but you got to do what you got to. It does not matter if the other party understands or not at the end of the day behind locked doors, behind phone calls behind sms , turning people away, saying No and looking at the other way is best.

So sometimes being not nice is the best solution.

Sms courtesy

It get very irritating when phone etiquete is not practised. No one is asking to follow the rule to a T but common courtesy should apply.

If someone sends you a sms for an appointment or expecting a reply, one should to take the courtesy to respond to that sooner or later. Wats frustrating they would call you friend and not respond to the sms to you. It would take one mega kick up their ass then they apologies. Once ok la but every other occasion. One day naik frus just forget and dun sms anymore

I got another dong who will only respond to the girls 1s then if at all the guys. Go figure!!!

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

What is it about Canadian groups and the song they play in a band. It awesome, it rocks and memorable. Here I was packing up some food and heading back to office when an all to familiar song plays. Damm funne and kewl to hear..

It was mmmm mmmm mmmmm damm kewl song by Crash Test Dummies are a Canadian Folk-Rock group, who were popular in the early 1990s. and in 1993 this song came into play...

Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed so hard

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

But both girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that

'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

I really dunno exactly what the meaning of this song is...but what i get from it, is that people put more importance in how other people (in particular their parents) make them look than they put importance in how they look themselves...He tells the stories of two young people that are different in some way...one has white hair, the other has birthmarks all over her body...but both of them are glad that their parents aren't weird, like this other kids...

Parenthood 101

Parents today try to make the kids all they want the kids to be instead of giving some slack.

Cut them some slack
