both sides of the story

phil collins had this song called 'both side of the story'. while driving back home today i was watching these people driving on the other side of the road, trying to be smart and overtake us idiots who stick to lanes. i was wondering what they are thinking. is it about getting home earlier? do they need to take a dump? are their bladders as weak as mine? has the wife said she will shag them if they reach at 8:12? i told myself there must be a reason for it and i sat back and lit me a cigarette and laughed.

try to put yourself in the other persons shoes. what crap is that. you will never fit in. you wouldnt want to be in a pair of stinky shoes. its obviously not to be taken literally. can nowhere man be now here man? space can make so much of a difference.

i want to be me, looking at other people, and then be other people looking at me. i once wanted to talk to me, not in my head. just talk to me. me on one side of the phone and me on the other side as well. an echo is good but i want more. i want to have a converstation with myself. i want to hear my voice, i want to see me sitting on the other side of the table. i want to know how i react to what i say but not know how i would react. i am going to trip a while with all these thoughts.

The mirror-image of a mirror image is a regular image. When you see a reflection that surprisingly is a regular image this is usually caused by the fact that you are looking at the reflection of a reflection, or the reflection of an image seen from the other side.....
