Underrated artist. This song hits me deep. Takes me back to a not so distant past.
"Jealous"
I'm jealous of the rain
That falls upon your skin
It's closer than my hands have been
I'm jealous of the rain
I'm jealous of the wind
That ripples through your clothes
It's closer than your shadow
Oh, I'm jealous of the wind, cause
[Chorus:]
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
I'm jealous of the nights
That I don't spend with you
I'm wondering who you lay next to
Oh, I'm jealous of the nights
I'm jealous of the love
Love that was in here
Gone for someone else to share
Oh, I'm jealous of the love, cause
[Chorus]
As I sink in the sand
Watch you slip through my hands
Oh, as I die here another day
Cause all I do is cry behind this smile
[Chorus]
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
I'm done.
This is one of many Nanoblock "Sites To See" sets. Neuschwanstein Castle is in Germany and is the basis for the Cinderella castle for Disney theme parks (Disneyland, Disneyworld). Over 550 tiny Nanoblock pieces. This is the first Nanoblock set where I got to use the official Nanoblock tweezers. They're larger than regular tweezers with a special notch at the two ends for holding a nanoblock head. I had fun making this.
Music: Ian Van Dahl featuring Marsha - Castles In the Sky

After my last movie review, I thought I'd start jotting them down rather than wait a whole year and forget movies released before that same year. Here are the movies I saw in January 2015.
1. Monkey King (2014) - This was another adaptation and highly fantasized telling of Journey to the West. This movie focused on one chapter, telling the origins of the Monkey King and how he rebelled against the Jade Emperor of heaven. In the beginning of the movie, gods and demons were fighting in heaven. If I was a kid, I'd probably enjoy this movie a lot more. It had a horrible script and bad pacing. Events just happen out of nowhere, jumping between scenes. The CGI is on par with late 90s/early 2000s movies. The movie tries to be funny, but fails. Journey to the West (2014) is a better movie.
The Imitation Game (2014) - Based on the true story of Alan Turing, the father of computer science, when he was hired by the British government with other mathematicians to break The Enigma machine to gain an advantage on Nazi Germany during World War II. Interspersed in the story is his backstory as a kid at a boarding school and when a police investigated a break in to his house later after WWII. They showed his struggles as a homosexual man living in Britain where it was illegal at the time. Great performance by Benedict Cumberbatch. If you haven't seen it, you need to watch it.
Silver Lining's Playbook (2012) - The movie that gave Jennifer Lawrence the best actress Oscar in 2012. I didn't think her performance were Oscar-worthy compared to other nominees, but her performance was great, nonetheless. Bradley Cooper should have won that year. Most people have seen it, so I'll just post the trailer.
Taken 3 - There can't be enough Taken movies. This the first movie in the trilogy (so far) that takes place on American soil. The last two movies were in France and Istanbul, chronologically. Things happen, again, forcing Liam Neeson to take matters into his own hands. Deadly stuff, car crashes and Angry Neeson ensues.
American Sniper - Based on Chris Kyle's autobiography of the same title and his life according to family and friends, American Sniper is about the deadliest sniper in US history. It talked about what he did during the Iraq War after 9/11 and how he handled PTSD. I saw it as an anti-war movie.
