World, World, World

I start this post with cake... Despite the world's serious situations..

I was going to do this post earlier but I guess now or I'll never post this stuff. The world is concerned with a bunch of things right now. More that our attention is brought to the earthquake and tsunamis in Japan followed by the nuclear reactor meltdowns at the moment. To be honest, I think Japan is doing a good job at handling one of the highest magnitude earthquakes witnessed by mankind. To that I say kudos, Japan. They are not the kind of country to have its people run wild during even these kinds of crisis's. 

While our attention has been brought away from the revolution in the middle east and also recent earthquake in Australia, I have been up to normal stuff.

Most of us are doing normal stuff actually.. Canada is such a peaceful country, it's awesome. We don't get anything here.. :) Hope I didn't jinx our country's fate lol.

Some other stuff I want to talk about is the coincidence everyone is raving about. "Oh if you add the 911 date and Japan earthquake date you get the day the Mayan Calendar ends! OMG!" Shit you know me, I don't believe in the end of the world in 2012. Some bullshit that is. I'm not listening to a open ended prophecy that we can't even read correctly. Everyone likes to jump to conclusions, and although the Mayan calendar has predicted many incidents, they might as well should've predicted the end of their civilization >_>. On December 21st I'm going to sit in my home and do whatever the hell I'd usually do because shit isn't going to happen. Moreover, this is a DUMB coincidence? Which idiot out there decided to add up 911 and Japan's earthquake date?!

1. 911 was a planned attack, Japan's earthquake was a natural event.

2. Does the world intentionally want to kill us, probably not. Let the damn tectonic plates shift.

3. 911 was a terrorist attack.. What else can be said.

I don't know what connection there was with this but they are irrelevant to each other :|.

I didn't post to complain or rant so I'll get to my real point.

Headphones.

Yes, going to show off some headphones I recently bought off my brother's friend (to put it bluntly..) I hope these last long..er because I break my headphones easily; UNINTENTIONALLY. 

Yeaaaa Audio technica ATH t300's. They were around $60-80 or so(?) originally and I got them for $45. So it's a good deal. 

Sound quality is nice but they're not exactly portable lol. They're very large.

Periodic timeline of the headphones I've used.. Within these.. Years or so.

I don't remember using headphones before I got these. They're the lame sony ones. See that crafty handiwork?

Zumreeds I got 2 years ago or so, I used them for about a year and this happened:

If you can't see clearly the cable part snapped......... I can only hear from one side now lol. Decent headphones they were :)

For a short period I used these free earbuds! I only used them for a week or so before they got trashed 1. Because I can't take care of headphones. 2. They were cheap, and free so what can I expect eh.

The front fell out. Meh, they were crappy anyways so I saw it coming.

I should start taking care of my headphones.................

Later.

Warning if you don't want to question your existence etc.

This is an uncut rant. Most of my rants are uncut.

Bringing up a rant topic that I have been wanting to discuss for a while. Kirsty's rant makes me want to rant. Ranting makes the world go round. What I'm going to talk about infuriates me to no end. Most of this anger being my own indecisiveness. 

One thing I will start with is this: Do you have that relative that just asks you again and again: "What are you going to be when you grow up?"

To that question I usually give a polite smile and quietly shake my head. This question. All adults love to ask their kids this. And anyone who knows me knows how well I can answer this question, and that percentage of knowing isn't even a positive number. I remember in the past where some people would ask me about the future and I'd answer something between, "How should I know," to ,"I might be dead by then". The future is unpredictable and we shouldn't strain our brains trying to find an answer to that. Even so, if we do find the future, what good will it bring to us? Sure if the world were to end tomorrow we'd all run wild and do whatever we want. The last day recorded wouldn't be something pleasant. In that case, isn't it better if everything is unpredictable? Do we really want to know what lies ahead? If that future were so, would we just end up killing ourselves before we reached that end? In that case, what is this "career" and "education" we've been working all our lives towards end up as? Shit. Just shit. Something that doesn't have meaning. Money and knowledge mean nothing in the after-world. And as far as I like to think, there IS no after-world. So our existence beyond what we can imagine is nothing. I don't like to be a nihilistic thinker and I generally call myself an optimistic person, but when you think about these possibilities, this is what comes up. And all of this comes back to one thought.

Sometimes I think that I'm just making excuses for myself and my indecisiveness about my future. What I want to do with it or what my aunt always says, "The only way out of poverty is education." 

To that I say, "What is there to aim for when you have no goal?" Goals. In all honesty I've never properly kept one. Everything else I say is fueled to the same thing.

But despite all of this negative thinking, and my own indecisiveness and excuses and how contradictory this may seem, sometimes I think that just living, is enough for me.

And from there, maybe everything will work itself out.

Music is it's Own Language

Here's a picture of today's weather, minus the flowers and all lol. Artist: Jun

The song of today's post is here!

The band for today is The Band Apart :D! I talked about them in yesterday's post and I'll probably bring them up again since I really like them. The song is called "Flower Tone". Not their best song in my opinion, but the song makes me happy. I don't think this has anything to do with the theme of this post. Just to let you know before you start thinking weird stuff, like yesterday, the song won't always have any relation to the post. I guess this post makes me feel better since it's been raining all day.. I don't like rain.


Er.. Today I wanna make a short post about music. I don't like it when people discriminate music because music is sound..No.. Music is art in the form of sound. Which means that anyone who can hear can appreciate it. That's why I don't understand why people have to draw the lines between other things like appearances or language.. I think music is something that can be enjoyed no matter what language it is, seriously, music is music, whether the language is understandable to you shouldn't stop you from listening to it. Which is why I like instrumental music! Sometimes, no words can mean much more. Which applies to instrumental music. There's nothing like lyrics to distract you from the story the music is trying to interpret itself. Try to listen to some, close your eyes, and picture what's going on. This is a music exercise so any music students out there have probably done it before.
I think music is a good thing as long as you enjoy it and it sounds good. Which means no physical attractiveness should compete with how you judge a musical artist. 


I don't know if I'll talk about this again but I'll give a quick bit about my own musical background. I started piano around the age of 3? I continued it until I was 11. I quit because I didn't like it, but by now, I've come with the conclusion that it just wasn't my instrument. I was really bad at it, didn't try very hard, I didn't enjoy it. I might pick it up again though. By the time I was 11 we had to choose to play instruments in school for a band class. This was in grade 6 and 7. It was a really exciting moment, I decided to play some sort of baritone horn, but when the day came to try out instruments I tried blowing the mouthpiece of a trumpet and I just couldn't do it. I felt really ashamed.. I don't remember if I cried but it was a sad feeling since I'd made my mind about it all year. I could do flute and clarinet fine so I chose alto saxophone. Which I still play today! I'm glad I chose sax because I've learned a lot from it. I've been playing for about 3 years now and it's really fun, even though I come across a lot of hard stuff here and there.(I play it in jazz band). The last instrument I learned was bass, probably one that I enjoyed the most because I'd progressed a hell lot faster than the rest. I started this around late August last year, so yes, I've only been playing for about a year. I remember having nothing to do all year so I'd just sit down and practice my bass. This one is special because I started out with a crappy model and worked up to the one I have today! I paid some of it so it's really.. special to me. I don't have a picture of my saxophone, but I have some pictures of my current bass somewhere..here. Maybe I'll post some pictures of both later on. Just to let you know, yes I learned little things here and there, like recorder, castanets, triangle.. Little percussion things, I know :). I also learned guitar this summer.. Something that I will play on and off, not really learning it properly and playing it when I feel like it XD.
I think music is one of the few little things that I can actually brag about to people, so to me it's something really awesome. Also that it's something that everyone all ages and participate in. There are no limits, so pick up an instrument and pursue it!

I'm done for today. See you tomorrow everyone!

I guess today's theme is rain? This picture is pretty cute too,
I think there's another one that follows it, maybe I'll share that in the future.

Rant-terrific!

This picture is my desktop picture. I don't know the artist though, great picture that should be admired in full size. 

I don't know how to compose on the spot. I need time. I can't just write out of nowhere. Not even knowing my topic. MY TITLE IS EMPTY RIGHT NOW! THIS IS GOING TO BE A HORRIBLE POST!

Is what I'm thinking right now.

I feel like there is never a moment when I DON'T talk or rant about school. Even in my past post where I talk about 9/11 and Terry Jones. In the end I always end up talking about school. Which brings me to think that I'm a boring person, since all boring people end up talking about the school or weather. Too bad the weather was shit so I have nothing to say about it. I don't like rainy days because the clouds make me think of how everything is so unclear and fogged up, I don't like that. -cough-

Today, I shall rant. Let me start with the saying: "Everyone is different."

BULLSHIT! I always like to talk about this when I get the chance to, this line is so extremely ironic I can't even start. I like it when people say this in school because school is full of teens who are unaware of who they are and all end up acting the same damn way. I don't even think that we're different anymore. Just something like mindless drones just automatically waking up at 7:30AM everyday and carrying on with the "usual" school routine. Don't give me that bullshit about us having our own personalities and details. In my opinion I think we're all doing the same thing and all have the same thing running through our mind at one point of a day. I actually don't mind that since unity is supposed to be a good thing, and if we're all united and thinking of the same thing then there should be less complaints and problems. BUT NO! Some dumbshit is going to protest even though they agree just for the hell of it. I don't know what I'm talking about right now and I'm not sure why it was relevant to the beginning idea of my topic but my fingers have not stopped since I started thinking about this and I just want to rant some brains out.
THAT'S RIGHT! RANT SOME FUCKIN' BRAINS OUT.

Guy's I'm not angry and I'm not raging either. I like rants because they start at one end and end up right across the page, not even close to the first point. Which brings me to the topic of people WANTING to be like everyone else. Now this case if real funny. I mean, if you ARE like everyone else, why do you BOTHER trying to be that way? Is it important to be unique? Do we have to be different? Doesn't difference create problems? This just brings us farther from "world peace", right? I don't know, don't ask me. Rather, I'm asking myself these, but everything in the world is contradicting itself.

This is why we're all hypocrites. We're never going to be unique if we want world peace so I think the idea of world peace is just an idea as long as we're all "different". I think I could go on about this for years lol. Going back to the routine topic, our whole life is routine. Go to school> Get a job> Date > Get married > Have kids > Grow old > Get grand-children > Retire > Die.

To anyone that breaks this routine, I salute you, but that doesn't make you any more special. I don't know what I'm ranting about anymore because I'm no different and I have no right to say any of this. 

/rant end.

Good night.

That's right, not even an ending picture. I want you to go to bed and think about all these things, questioning yourself until your brain hurts. I'm not responsible for any suicidal attempts lol.
