a penchant for out-of-tune stuff
mar 24. reasons
was once asked for a reason for liking music so much. it's another
je ne sais quoi thing. but i guess music takes no sides, and interpretation
is up for grabs. so i guess that's it.

feb 9. the end has a start
you know what. i am still riding on the highs from the "phew, thank god 2008
is over" effect; not that it was particularly bad, or that the year ahead would be like wowow,
but i've got this 'back to basics' eureka lalala in my head and it's a good notion, albeit a strange one

oct 1. the start
hopefully i'll update this stuff regularly though no one would read this;
we should spread good and sometimes obscure music around, but then again
obscure loses its charm when it ain't obscure no more.
these days i think that envy isn't all bad if it somewhat drives a person to do better (albeit possibly for the wrong reasons). after all, an impetus to act is better than an idealistic philosopher who cannot practice what he theorizes.
i guess the most detrimental aspect of envy is not in the notion of envy itself, but rather, in select incidences when it reveals how ridiculously presumptuous some people are, and how you'd think age or experience would teach a person otherwise, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
i cannot fathom how one could assume that another person's life is devoid of worries, expectations, obligations, crushed ideals, emotions, ebb & flow, etc; perspective is vastly varied and we often fail to recognize this.
having said that (and going totally off tangent), i think that it is more valuable to recognize and appreciate certain qualities in a person, though this would be 'admire' and not envy.
and if i could pick something to be envious about it would be the 'invincible' mindset associated with youth. fearless.
