Completing A jigsaw puzzle

If you do jigsaw puzzles you certainly experienced the fear of being almost finished and realise you actualy don't have all the pieces, some went missing while you had to transfer the puzzle 100 times around the house because it was getting bigger and bigger... or maybe it's just me, I should have counted the pieces before I ever started to do the puzzle... but puzzles are like that, it's a progression... it's like building a house or a town... it takes time and it can be very difficult do do skies... or forests...

But other puzzles are that aren't the traditional ones, they are episodes of life. Some may call them circles but for me it's more like making a jigsaw puzzle. Once it's finished and you can see the image clear... AAAAAH! *SIGH* WHAT A FEELING!



If 12 years ago I would have dreamt that one day someone was going to create a thing called DVD with all the videos from a band, live shows, interviews, my teenage years would have been problably much more relaxed, not as exciting though and i would probably be a dentist now!

When OK COMPUTER came out I couldn't afford it. I still haven't got an original of ok computer because i think it was yet not meant to be... so, i couldn't afford to buy the album therefore i was collecting all the footage i could get from all the channels on my satelite. I have on tape the premiere of paranoid android's video on MTV (it was in a program called MTV HOT), paranoid android performed on jools holland (this one above!), all the first footage from the Barcelona gigs

PAUSE: OK COMPUTER WAS FIRST PLAYED FOR 4 NIGHT IN A ROW IN LISBON AND OPORTO. thank you very much!

PLAY:

Then one night, me and my sister were home alone and we had the chance to check all the channels we couldnt when mum was home at night... we caught radiohead on jay leno but i only got it half way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew it was going to repet the next day so i wasnt so woried... but it didnt! mum didn't pay the satelite bill and the next day there was no tv. NOTHING! NO TV!my only source of new music was dead.finito!

but like i said in the beggining of my testimonial, if I knew that almost 12 years later you tube would exist with EVERYTHING I WOULDNT HAVE CRIED AS MANY TEARS... but i guess that's how life goes

I WONDER in 12 years what will be so easy that i find now so difficult to find... Love?
