It's baffling how there are no more quality music videos in the world right now. Actually it's been quite some time since one has been made. The last music video that can be deemed spectacular, in my opinion, was Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal. The whole video was entertaining, fun to watch, and magnificent in terms of the dance coordinations, not just the dancing prowess of MJ. That was many years ago.

Nowadays what you see in music videos is people walking around, singing, doing nothing. All meaningless stuff, and really repetitive and definitely boring. All music videos of rock bands just tend to zoom in all the singer, then the guitarist, then the bassist, then some of the audience, then drummer, and the cycle repeats. The music video will "appear" different, due to the different graphics being introduced. Other than that, the damn old concept is the same. Solo artistes will just stare at the camera the whole damn 4 mins or so, singing, with some background movements going on to spice up the video or something.

Even though some artistes are really good performers and do write good songs, someone has got to work on the creativity portion of music videos. Music videos with story lines just don't seem to exist anymore. Shall not list names of artistes, in case I offend people out there or something.

Last night at around 3am, the customary night catfight took place under my block. I looked out the window, and saw the usual scene. 2 cats facing each other, nose to nose, wagging their tails, and moaning/groaning/wailing/screaming, making their usual war cries. It's creepy how their wails can sound like small children. They will wail and wail and wail for a damn long time, before engaging in a short burst of violence, scratching and pulling into a blurry furball, and then stopping abruptly after a mere 2 seconds,and returning to the standard pose of staring and wailing at each other. The noise finally stopped when some dude went downstairs and scared them off. I expect another fight for supremacy, tonight.

No offence to Duffy fans, but her voice seriously gives me the creeps and pushes me to the brink of explosion. She sounds like a deranged duck.

Yesterday was caught in the torrid rain while going off to give tuition. Oh the pain and sacrifice, for the sake of money. Can't wait to pass driving. Time to go.

Cheers.
