Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Since I don't have wisdom to share with you, here is a brain-dead post. My top 10 Red Hot Chilli Peppers songs. RHCP doesn't break into my list of top 10 artists, but recently I had the opportunity to explore its songs and some of them are pretty cool. I'd like to share the top 10 songs with you - in the order I like them.

1) One ofcourse has to start with their all-time best - Californication



2) Second is a complete goof-off song - Can't stop

 3) Third up is a great upbeat song - Scar Tissue

4) Fourth up is a soothing slow song - Under the Bridge (this one is for the sad times)

5) Fifth up is another slow song - By the Way



6) An intense song is next - Otherside

7) Next up nice one - Snow

8) Sort of Hip-hop - Give it away



9) Another goof-off song : Aeroplane



10) Lastly, a mild song - Dosed



Hope you enjoy the songs!

What do I "want"?

I've had sleepless nights and apprehensive weeks thinking about "What
do I want in life?". It has bugged me the most in my worst times. In
some ways, the thought is like a Dementor - sucks the life out of you.
Anyone who is seriously bugged by this question of life is stuck in
the "want-loop". An unsolvable unending loop which has only one
solution : realization.

"Wanting" something is based on our experiences of life. I "want"
chocolate ice-cream because I've had it before and I like the taste.
What about an eggplant-icecream? Argggh! I don't knowww! That is
because I've never tasted. How can I want it or NOT want it?

Thats the chicken-egg problem : One cannot "want" anything before
trying it out and we usually don't want to try out anything major
before really "wanting" it. This is an endless loop. We'll never try
out things before wanting them and we'll never want things before
trying them out. Aarrgghhhh again!

What about people who've already figured out life? They are either
ones who were forced into it somehow or they've already tried out a
bunch of things before they settled in.

Point is, and I've realized it only today, thinking about "what I
want" is pointless.. it better to just take the "leap of faith" and
see whether it works out. If it doesn't, you probably wanted the other
option. Anyway, you'll get the answer :-)

Happy ranting!
