The Pilot

test... mic... test...

After a long hiatus, I finally felt the urge to write something again. As the great Michael Jordan said in his 2nd comeback, "there was an itch that needed to be scratched." Maybe it's the political maelstrom brewing on the lead up to next year's presidential elections. Or maybe it's the UAAP Finals. Or maybe it's because the NBA season is less than 2 months away. Or maybe I just need an outlet cos law school is too damn stressful. In any case, Geocities would be closing down on October, which means fptensai.cjb.net--something I created back in 2004--would be buried in the rubbles of online history (moment of silence...)

So why 'Morning Glory'? The answer's a gimme, for people who know me. But just for the benefit of those who don't--having stumbled upon this site like a little girl lost in the woods--it's from Oasis' groundbreaking album "What's the Story (Morning Glory)?" released way back in 1995. Best album in the world. Ever. With the band's breakup a couple of weeks ago, it was almost a no-brainer that I'd choose this as my blog name. Note: almost.

You see, when I seriously started thinking about writing again about a week ago, the title was a toss up between 'Morning Glory,' 'The Eye of My Mind,' and 'Unclogging the Pipe.' The first 2 were throwbacks to Oasis--the album and the first line of "Don't Look Back in Anger." The 3rd choice was a line from the movie "There's Something About Mary." If you don't know what I'm talking about, you've gotta watch the movie and watch out for that line. Anyway, 'Morning Glory' stuck, and so it is.

"In this town the jury is always rigged but the people know. They know the truth. Believe. Belief. Beyond. Their morning glory."

P.H in the summer of '95.
