Everything you do is a balloon

I like to wake up and tell myself my life is getting better
every day. It may not be, but it's better than waking up and
allowing "life is shit" to be the first thing that crosses
your mind. Everything you do is a balloon. If you push
yourself in a certain area and practice and devote yourself
to it, your balloon inflates. If you neglect this area, the
air you've blown into it will slowly leak through the holes
in the rubber over time.. until all you've got is a wilted
mess.

it looks really large and pretty, but on the inside it's
hollow and empty. bulky but fragile.

Everything you do can be rubbed vigorously against someone's
head, then held in place on a vertical surface by static
electricity.

haha, you're right but I didn't intend it to be that way...
I was actually just inspired by the song of the same name by
BOC... and it really put things into perpective for me.. All
of a sudden, a lot of things made sense. So, Thank you BOC.

I like that interpretation of it too, though it is a little
more depressing (but probably just as true!).

I downloaded kaini industries a bit ago, but the volume was
really low (is that how it is on the cd?), so I used a sound
editing program to boost that shizzy. Boy, was that the best
decision of my life. (kaini industries fucking rules, I just
wish it was longer.)

air = nothing

Incorrect.

air does not equal nothing

vacuum = nothing

Therefore, everything you do sucks.

I know that.. How many times do I have to say it was just a
quote from some other site? I'm not saying it's right, and
it sure doesn't make sense, but then again, a lot of boc
titles doesn't make any sense anyway.

kind of like that thing in the Ok Computer booklet, you

also, Europe is so much cooler then North America... I'm
always hearing cool music played on tv during certain

ambient crickets? is this the 15 minute "version" of EYDIAB?
cause, if it is, these crickets aren't a part of the song,
and actually this is not at all a version of the song. you
probably have the last track from 'skampler' and the
crickets are from a hidden gescom track called "stoop". if
i'm wrong then sorry for wasting space.

the 15 minutes version of EYDIAB you're referring to on the
skampler compilation, is not boc at the end, it's a Gescom
track called Stoop.

I thought the whole track was boc too, until I found this
Gescom track.
