Some of the saddest songs are also the most beautiful, the most poignient and profound when you can just feel the emotion and it hits the soul. It's strange how that is, some upbeat songs can lift you, fill you with energy, make you smile or throw your arms up, Revol is one, but there are songs that just move you, no matter how you were feeling, but you know the song is so beautiful, soft and tender, The Everlasting is a prime example, I can't watch it performed live when I'm watching them at a concert without crying.
With Radiohead I moved from liking the more straightforward stuff best to the more complex, I used to love Paranoid Android, it's still a great song, but Climbing up the Walls is better, or thats how I feel now. However, this one song always remains strong, it's everything I said at the start of this post, it's one of the reasons I love music and wanted/want to get into music, however, it's one of those that makes you know you could never better it. If you don't know the song without the title then you haven't heard it, if you haven't heard it it probably will mean nothing just written down. I heard a man play this busking, I was mortified, he didn't do it any justice and seemed to got stuck singing the same lines.
Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
It wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
It wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted all the time
All the time...
All the time...

My dissertation I have decided is going to be on the broad topic of "why do states encounter terrorism?" and then concentrate more closely on why Chechnya chose terrorism. I have plenty of ideas, too many really, i have to pull together all of the work that i have done over the last two years together for my final piece.
Allergic (...) is my favourite Placebo song. I really like the mood it creates. Being that is by no means my favourite Placebo album, I find that song to be the best though.
Face has improved a lot! no visible bruising showed up, which is gooood.
hope you're okay

There are many takes on that subject, but remember one important thing, and this could be key. One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. There is one exception and that is the Islamic Extremists, they claim to be terrorists but in reality they are fanatics fighting for a 'holy' cause but not fighting for freedom, only for blood.
Most other times it's been the people of a country fighting against it's rulers who are injust and corupt. It's always been a country, or a people fighting to gain their freedom. From the last century you have countless examples, but it stretches way back through the ages, the French Revolution, the Pesant Revolt in England, but just the small segment of this last century shows many examples.
The Bolsheviks took over in the October Revolution in 1917. In WWII you had the French Underground and other terrorist attacks against the Germans. Something thats had alot of press reasently is the IRA. You have the Cuban Revolution, Chechnya, the Palistines trying to take their country back from Israil and countless other examples, all of which was for the freedom of their country from either outside rule or a government that did not exist for the people.
It is easy to look at Terrorists as evil, and in modern days we are taught that they are, but apart from fanatics and extremists that do not fight for a country, the divide between Terrorists, freedom fighters and heroes is almost none existant, other than the perspective and also who wins.
Glad to hear your face has improved, you have a nice smile and would be a shame to have it blighted by the affects of an injury.
