About Me

CURRENT MISSION

TRAVEL THE WORLD!!! :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a very open and outgoing person. I love to travel to explore new things. Although I do enjoy the occasional quite intimate setting like watching the starry night sky or reading a good book on the couch.

PHILOSOPHY

In music one doesn't make the end of the compostion, the point of the composition. If that was so the best composers would be the one who played the fastest. There will be composer who just wrote finales. LOL! People would go to concerts just to hear one crashing chord because that's it, that's the end! But we've got a system of schooling that gives us a completely different impression. It's all graded and what we do is put the child into this corredor of this grade system like Come on kitty, kitty! And here you go to preschool or kindergarden, then from there to first grade, then first grade leads to second grade and so on, then grade school leads to middle school, then middle school leads to high school, then to college, then to grad school and then you join the work force working at some insurance company. And they always got that qouta to make and once you achieved that, they always got another! And its coming! that great thing you've been working for, that success! Then you're forty years old sitting at your desk thinking "My GOD! I've Arrived! I'm There! And you don't feel very different from what you've always felt and theres a slight letdown because you feel it was a hoax. And there was a hoax, a dreadful hoax! They made you miss everything! We thought life by analogy with a journey, with a pilgrimage with an end and the whole point was to get to that end, success or heaven after you are dead, but we miss the whole point along the way. Life was a musical thing and you were suppose to sing or dance while the music was being played ;)
- Alan Watts
