God it has been ages since I've last had this feeling last as long as it does now.It is like this latent part inside of me,has suddenly been reignited,due largely to a nudge I had in the past few days.And yeah..does it feel good.Does it feel good to be back.Does it feel good to be able to feel again this feeling again.Does it feel like something has returned to me.
Yeah I'm once again starting to appreciate the sounds I hear in the music I listen to.
No it is not something so great such that I can discern anything I hear around me clearly note by note and just get inspired or whatever and get all crazy with it or what.I'm not a genius or anything like that.
The thing is..come to think of it..it has been so long since I even pay heed to what I listen to nowadays.The songs I hear..and such..has been like oh it just goes by yeah yeah it is nice to hear oh nice voice stuff like that.
It's nice that now I felt the initiative to actually listen to and at the same time appreciate what I hear..it's like it's exciting once more to hear things like the lyrics,the rhythm,how the melody goes,how a whole song meshes itself together..even until extents where I'd be thinking..how did they do that?That is seriously good..I wonder whether I would be able to produce things like that?How did that ever occur in that person's mind to actually play it that way in that sense?
It's like I can see something magical about music again.
Like the moment when I first strummed the strings of an electric guitar.I remember getting blown away by the distortion I hear..it was something which is completely foreign and alien to my ears at that time..I still remember I was..shocked if you can describe it that way and I just could not describe the sound I heard at that moment.It was that new to me at that moment.I remember thinking.."How could I have never heard this before?They have electric guitars in songs I listened to here and there,no?Then why does it sound so new to me now?"Of course,while I was strumming the guitar in the music shop that night,it sounded horrible to the people around me what with my 'excellent' idea in strumming full,whole chords with an electric guitar on full distortion terribly at that too.But nothing mattered at that moment for me.I was lost in awe.Well I do admit I came back to my senses soon after that and quickly asked for the shop-guy nearby to lower down the volume and switch the amp back to clean. :)
I suppose that thing's like this can be compared easily to any number of things one may have experienced in their lives.Like the moment when a baby first open's his/her eyes to the wide arms of the world..there are so many things assaulting the little ones senses at that single moment that the baby could do nothing but just cry.Like the moment when a person first had a crush on somebody else..it's like all of a sudden the whole world revolves only around that single object of affection.Like the moment when a prisoner on life-sentence who has been kept in a dark danky cell for what seems to him/her like an eternity is suddenly given a chance to take a peek at the outside world with the blazing sun at its full glory.
Well..the point here is,over the many paths we walk in life,we do go into a stump here and there.New things are gained with every step,and some things may be lost too as we journey on in each of our own paths.We could get interested in new things,and we could just as easily lose some things too unknowingly.
Argh shit I just realized the message circles back to this all too common thing I always discuss ONCE again @_@ Gona stop blabbering here before it gets back there. =_="
Ah well for me at least,I'm glad that I've reclaimed this feeling.Hope it stays hawhaw.
What's it gona be then,eh?

Best Feeling in a while
I've just finished watching this certain anime titled Beck Mongolian Chop Squad.
And..SHIT YEAH!! it was friggin awesome it ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well..to lay down some details on it..the gist of the story is pretty simple.First there's this young teenager..who happens to be the kind of kid you might see in your school.You know the nice kid,who gets looked down by others,gets bullied in the process too,have few friends to confide with...you get my drift.Yeah..average kid with above average grades living a kinda uneventful life.
And then one day while he was once again sorting out the hurt which he feels on a daily basis sitting on an unassuming public bench he saw this group of kids abusing a weird dog so his feelings just got out to reach for the poor dog and he saved the dog.
The dog so happens to be taken care by a long-haired guitarist who so happens to be in a band..Yeah the story goes on from there without saying.
We'll see the boy's coming of age story of sorts.His handlings with everyday life,dealings with new found friends,interests in new and resurfaced romantic interests, and..........a NEW FOUND PASSION IN GREAT MUSIC!
Yeah its the transformation of a guy who has learnt how to express himself better with the power of Music.All through adolescence.
What's not to like,eh?
Thumb up for the nice musical references too.
This anime re-ignited my passion haven't had this feeling in years..I NEED TO LISTEN TO MUSIC!It's about time to practice too #_#

Fuuuhh..
Looking with a blank stare with no feeling at all.Huh...another moment in my life where I feel there is a need for something to happen..something to just happen to spark me up in my life.When Jason asked me.."How's life?",all I could mutter out under my tired breath is.."Well..it is an unhealthy life." By just saying those few words..I feel that yet again..my eyes have become much smaller..and much less receptive towards ideas that run up and down and pass me in my daily life.Often, I could not care less with what is going on in my life."Oh look!It is 5am plus!What am I still doing being awake at this ungodly hour?"."Now showing!Endless reruns of monotonous lectures and assignments"."Memories fly by me".What's worse..knowing that the enormity of the situation is much less than what I am perceiving and being apathetic towards the task of turning it around.Truly..I am an idiot.
Well,the other day,I went out with an old friend of mine who has just came back from outstation.Course,this is not the first time I've met him since he came back a few weeks ago,yet it is kinda cool since the rest couldn't make it for the day to to everyone's busy schedule and it's kinda like well,only 2 of us are hanging out together for the afternoon.It is pretty nice just to see the kind of friend whom you've known for a very longg time and it's equally great just listening..and trading stories with what has been happening with our lives currently.And the occasional references to events long gone never fails to evoke fond laughter that can only be shared with those whom you've known for a large part of your life.
At first,the trip to meet up my friend does feel a tad bothersome for me since I was feeling extremely tired due to the morning lectures I have just attended plus the aforementioned unhealthy lifestyle I am living.Yet,things do turn out in a way one least expects it to be..truly a timeless piece of wisdom from whoever thought it up in the first place.
I reached the place where we are supposed to meet up early,so naturally, I had time for myself.God it felt like ages since I've had time for myself.My mind has been a constant blur for some time now doing things and it's great just to take things really slowly and just let my mind drift away from the constant grind of living.It was nice just watching people passing through and fro from the bench I was lazing at.I even managed to take the longest time to browse the music store and got a really nice cd by Oscar Peterson and Joe Pass.And to top off all that jazz,I noticed how simple our people could be when I saw a group of Malays waving at David Arumugum,the last surviving member of the Alleycats.Truly amazing.And he was just dressed up in the most simplest but proper manner 'tapaoing' his food in a lunchbox.Our people truly are a bunch or simple folk.Kinda sad to see how complicated matters could turn out to be when the ball lands on the politicians feet.
One thing struck me during the conversation with Kuharaaj. We just watched a movie on the 15th attempt of Hitler's assasination titled Valkyrie. Naturally, our talk revolves around all the hoohahs surrounding Nazis and eventually,it hit this point where we were talking about freedom.Sort of.
"It is kinda sad to see how the majority of people duduk atas pagar huh.First they supported Tom Cruise's character,then they deserted him when they found out Hitler is still alive..wat the heck?Sadlah.Imagine what could have happened if they stuck with him til the end!Problem solved".
"HAHA you just look at Perak lah,now we got 2 governments!HAHAHA!Anyway did u read the news about the duno who some kinda catholic priest..I think he's a Bishop or something.Well they was this interview bout the Holocaust and they got him to ask for his opinion regarding the subject.And it just happened that he replied 'Well in my opinion,logically there should only be about 100k deaths,not the millions and billions it is said to be'.And for goodness sake after that piece of opinion the man gave,he got blasted by all quarters flaming him with being pro-Nazi and all that.He even got fired or something by the Pope I think not really sure though.Pity the man,they just asked for his opinion and he just answered based purely on his own opinion and he got condemned?Sure I might not agree with what he said but dude,I'll say give the guy a break!What do you think?"
"Dude that fella is wrong!", I found myself speaking without thinking.
"Man..are you serious?That guy is just stating his opinion.He is not entitled to be persecuted just because of that?And they did chose him for an interview!Does he really has to say what the others want to hear?"
And I got lit up all of a sudden.Oh my God what has gotten into me?I have gotten really numb and oblivious to what is happening around me!Why?Why must society has to seep in to the norm?Are we really just another brick in the wall?Couldn't we muster enough strength of will must we really accept anything as it goes just as we are told to do it?Aren't we allowed to scrutinize and comment?It is not that we are purposely purporting trouble or trying to cause trouble.Why can't we be left alone in peace with our own ideas in our head and continue to live harmoniously with the rest of the people?
And so in the end we just both laughed off the idea of "Freedom of speech" and proceeded to some other funny nonsense to talk about.

New Year!
Hmm well,another new year has come.Obviously.Let's hope for a brighter year ahead of us in these times of hope for change.Not that the past year was an all out gloomy affair.China blew everyone away with a big bang during the Olympics even with all those post-Olympics drama trying to mar the event.And yeah Obama won.Look even the Malaysian BN government got denied their 2/3rds majority during last years elections.Well..hope that this year will be as exciting as the previous one!
Now for some lighter stuff.Stumbled upon this funny video online and yeah,its a fake in case anyone's wondering. :)
Obama n McCain Dance Off
