friday nite nuthins..
i think i have this problem w/ livin in the present: i can almost never enjoy the now. esther once remarked how funny she thought it was whenever i would reminisce and lose myself in my own nostalgia..
for example, when i think of my time in switzerland i miss it greatly--the place, its distinction, and the people. but the funny pt is i dont remember particularly bein happy while i was there--all i could think about then was how much work sucked and how i detested those 7-8 hr bi-monthly transatlantic flights..
i am a contradiction, but isnt everyone..
- i came home today and after listenin to one of the tracks from the return of the king score, had this sudden compulsion to play one of the themes (the hobbit/shire theme--oh, its so warm and lyrical). so i dug out my violin and went at it for about an hr, screechin various soundtracks and some sheet music i had in the case. mercy be w/ the ears of esther and my neighbors..
but its funny how i sometimes have this strong desire to play or figure out the music im listenin to--esp soundtracks. like that hobbit theme, it had been goin around in my head for a few days now since i saw one of the trailers pronouncin it so elegantly. and since it was bein played by the violins, the urge was even greater. i guess for that im glad i have that fiddle box and guitar around--now if i could only fit a piano in my room..
- ya kno, i have a list of things i would like to do cuz i think it would be good for me. the most generic of which is eatin better and exercisin more. so wut compels me to NOT do that which is good for me?
i think people act to serve their self-interests, which is not to be confused w/ their best interests. and so idleness and minimal effort remain my gods..
haha, i suck..
- its weird, but ive actually had some level of interest in this yrs bowl games. i think its in part due to media build-up (USC vs BCS) and also of my increase in football knowledge. this time of year for college football is akin to march madness for college bball: so many games and so many teams w/ different strengths and often opposin philosophies goin at it--its just a fantastic sight to witness..
but i think the nfl still rules. things ill be watchin in this weekends wild-card games..
tenn @ balt - mcnair vs ray (and fisher vs billick)..
dallas @ carolina - mediocre offense vs mediocre offense..
seattle @ green bay - the team that cant win on road vs packer magic..
denver @ indy - portis vs indys run D, peyton vs playoff curse..
i really shouldve tried to get ticks for that ravens game..
