Near 4
in the morning, and I’m wishing that my MacAir’s clock read 4:20 instead. But
these things can’t get lost in thought. After all, we all have experienced that
so much can happen in 20 minutes. Even while I’m safe at home, shades on (at
4am), and writing this – apocalyptic things can happen in 20 minutes. Don’t
argue just yet, but yes we are on the same page.
You may
argue now. Because now I will tell you that I just came from Karl Roy’s tribute
gig at B-side, and Karl wants to get loose from his cage to get rabid on
things. Why was there no Kapatid song by
the former bandmates of the now-so-Twitter-trendy-Hijo, Huh? P.O.T. (peyote,
pot, poopy old tamales, papa of troy – uhm there were several meanings listed
on the pages of their album if you’ve ever owned one or seen one. )
I
digress. Diba yung mga taga P.O.T. yung
bumugbog kay…
Hay.
Once upon a time, mga Kapatid. Forgive. Let go. Mahirap na Jedi mind trick
iyon, pero iyon talaga iyon. Let go. Yung ginawa ni Obi Wan Kinobe para maging
Ilaw – Ganoon!
Sabi
daw ni Karl naalala niya yung sa Glorietta at bakit di daw gumana ang kanyang
Jedi Mind tricks sa isang security guard.
Ang
sagot niya sa sairli niya noon tinanong siya kung ano ba paliwanag niya:
“Uuuuuhh……”
Natawa
ako. Natawa din siya.
“Pero bakit ba tayo
nagpapaliwanag?” tanong
niya.
Ayon!
Tumpak! Apir!
Liwanag.
Ilaw. Light.
Look around these
sunflowers.What do sunflowers do? (rhetorical) They follow the sun!
And we’re surrounded by
sunflowers just forever staring at us.
We are the sun. We are the
light.
Inikot
ko mundo niya. (Yes, naka-bakes at naka-shrooms kami, but that’s not the
point.)
Pause.
Count two seconds ala Karl Roy, (which means two hours)… Sorry, maganda na nga kwento, ginugulo mo pa. Karl – just stand in the
corner. Have a… and then…
He
speaks.
We are the Gods of the
Sunflowers.
“We are the Gods of the
Sunflowers.” - Karl Roy.
