Admirable People
All right,i admit.Finally,after 78 entries i am out of things to talk about.It's sort of like those mental blocks writers get halfway through their novels i guess.I mean,you cant expect me to have something to talk about throughout the course of my life,right.I can talk about the army,sure.But that'd make Blogger.com out of business and would need more pages than the paper needed for the Koran and Bible combined.Oh yes,and i need another book,the size of the whole "Dark Towers" series by Stephen King summed up for complains alone.
Anyway,so here is a random post,a spontaneous one.I was just looking through my iTunes a while ago,looking through the songs i have downloaded over the years.Then i thought to myself,that these are really REALLY talented people,or rather very admirable ones too.
Come to think about it,it is so hard to really be famous in the states.Just look at their talents,what they are capable of.Then you look at yourself,with total shame.Okay,maybe not shame.But it's just the relativity between you and them,it's just a thousand miles apart.
I dont want to be pessimistic,or in any way think about the impossibilities of the future.I dont want to end up like Virginia Woolf,in a way.I mean,the fact that she left what she thought was a lie,and pursued what she really wanted was admirable,yes.But i dont think i have the guts,or rather i have the sense,to not fill my coat pocket with rocks and take a stroll into the river.I mean,she couldve just left her husband and left for London,right?Perhaps,the hours of thinking before her ink and pen took a toll on her power of judgement.
So,here's a list of people i find particularly worthy of mentioning.I guess in a way,if i could,i might just make a check list out of them,and make sure i meet all of them before i die.Wouldnt that be quite an interest goal?
John Mayer Trio
Coldplay
Norah Jones
Rachael Yamagata
Oasis
Foo Fighters
Goo Goo Dolls
Sarah Mclachlan
