Ten=20/2: 10 songs, 10 memories of myself and 'Tha Triangle'

10.
Exterior: Myself and AHF riding our bikes on a steep uphill on the way to AJ
Location: Somewhere in Abbas Abad, THR
Song: Last Kiss
"Where, oh where, can my baby be? 
The Lord took her away from me..."

9.
Interior: Non-stop reading the book "Bad as I wanna be" by Dennis Rodman while sitting at lectures, discovering new insights into NBA, basketball, life and more
Location: Lecture halls in SUT
Song: Alive
"And do I deserve to be?
Is that a question?
And if so...who answers....who answers..."

8.
Interior(inside the green): After hard fought street ball in the heat of the summer, AHF behind the wheel, he has rolled up his pant up to knees, AJK sitting in the back is singing
Location: Somewhere in streets of THR, heading my home
Song: Daughter
"Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room..."

7.
Interior: I am working out in front of TV showing channel V, inclined press
Location: My room, upstairs, home
Song: Rearviewmirror
"Saw things so much clearer
Once you, once you
Rear view mirror..."

6.
Interior: It's almost 3AM, we all are scattered in every corner of apartment, dead sleep one way or another, it's a bit cold, AJK pulls the carpet over himself to escape the chill
Location: Alim's place at the end of Apadana St.
Song: Call me a dog
"You tell me I'm low 'cause I've slept on the floor..."

5.
Interior: Red lamp shining over the jungle of writings on my wall, it's a Thursday night, a few tear drops fall
Location: My room, former Xerxes room
Song: Low light
"Voice blows by, low light
Car crash, low light
Can't wear my mask, your first, my last..."

4. Interior: AJK talking about basketball and drawing incoherent conclusions while singing in between
Location: Dressing room of the gym at SUT
Song: Indifference
"How much difference does it make?
How much difference does it make?"

3. Interior: We are all dead tired after the calf muscle exercises, lying on the floor all of us
Location: Weight room at SUT
Song: Why go
"Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home..."

2. Interior: All of us enjoying highlight dunks by Shawn Kemp and never stopping to be amazed
Song: Go
"Suck...blood...touch...please, tunnel vision...tuck...time...see..
Please, please please...
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Please..."

1. Interior: AHF is just back from Cypress and we're all gathered in my room, he brought us the Temple of the Dog CD
Location: My room, former Xerxes room
Song: Hunger strike
"I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled
But it's on the table the fire is cooking
And they're farming babies, while the slaves are working
The blood is on the table and their mouths are choking
But I'm growing hungry

I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled
But it's on the table the fire is cooking
And they're farming babies, while the slaves are working
The blood is on the table and their mouths are choking
But I'm growing hungry (Growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry (Growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry (Growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry (Growing hungry)

I'm growing hungry (Growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry (Growing hungry)

I don't mind stealing bread (I don't mind)
I don't mind stealing bread
I'm growing hungry (Growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry (Growing hungry)"

This post got finished thanks to the fine movie of "Pearl Jam 20" and the upcoming concert. I know for sure that if he sings "Black", I will cry uncontrollably.

If you search a bit around you over there, you'll see me crying somewhere!

I'll open up.
Release me!
Release me!
Release me!
