"Lyrically it’s about the changing relationship between two old friends. People that haven’t seen each other in a long time, coming together, and then drifting apart again.

Have you ever known someone for so long that even though it’s been years, when you hang out, you can’t help but slip right back into how you were when you grew up together as teenagers?

You want them to be as they were, as we were, but who they are now competes with your memory, and for some reason it’s dissapointing to you. In this case, it’s a fall from grace in the sense that one person is involved in something the other believes is ‘Not Right’.

Sometimes it seems they both know it, but still nothing changes. How can you express concern to someone who seems to like being where they are regardless of whether it is good for them or not? It’s never your place to say it anyway, so you put it in a song instead :)

I like the way the music sort of disintegrates at the end, frustrated and tired and not really resolving itself, other than to just stop trying."

Is there a better way to put it?  This is so predestrian in life that it’s a quite sad. At the same time it makes you realize your friends right now may be strangers to you the next day.  In a positive way, I guess you can just take it easy with your friendships.  Cherish it but don’t become too attach that it’s hard to let go.  Isn’t it a bit discouraging?  I remember it was really hard for me to say goodbye to my friends when I had to move in 7th grade.  My parents kept telling that I’ll meet new friends elsewhere.  I had to move again in 8th grade and had to leave my friends.  Another same old speech.  "You’ll make new friends in high school."  They were right.  Begining of freshmen year, I stopped letting the little things get in the way of my friendships.  I pretty much stopped caring.  If this is how my friendships will be (good or bad),  I’ll look at it the same way.  Hah, easy said than done, but it makes life a bit easier.  Well, I shall leave it as that, talking about too much is somewhat a contradiction. 

Anyways, the main point of this post is that I can’t stop listening to Details Hurt My Mind’s soundtrack, and Not Right is currently stuck in my head.  =)

The Departed

The Departed = Infernal Affairs

Any major differences between the two?

Not really.  The characters and storyline were pretty much identical.    The Departed was more comical and had jokes that I actually get haha even though they overused the F word.  Regardless, the movie wasn’t bad.  The American remake was well adapted to the original.  If I didn’t watch Infernal Affairs, I’d like it more and be more intrigued.  Everything was pretty much predictable.  I wish they had changed the ending a bit.  The Departed was longer but it had a fairly steady pace.  Excellence cast though, Leonardo DiCaprio - Tony Leung and Matt Damon - Andy Lau.  I love Leonardo’s character; I was very impressed haha.  The actions were pretty good.  I just like Infernal Affairs more because of Andy Lau & Tony Leung xD. 

8/10 -I highly recommend it for those who haven’t seen Infernal Affairs.
