Not too long ago (three entries back - Sunny Day In The Park) I mentioned composing a song in Fruity Loops, and naming it after things brought up in a conversation with Robert Huntley, one of our great bellmen. I've decided to add some photos as a slideshare, and publish the song on Youtube, then adding it to my blog. For those who already want to know what it's about, play the video at the end of this entry.
The song is, unlike most of my earlier works, actually built up in a way that I COULD add lyrics to them in a verse-chorus distinctive way. Still having huge difficulties, writing texts that go with melodies, I don't see it happen in the near future for this one. But maybe later I'll be able to make something out of it.
Also, the last few days I've been thinking about eternity in general, and how I've never liked the word. I mean, you can last a lifetime with someone, and it's still not eternity, as the world will not stop spinning once you're gone. As once quoted to me, after Charles De Gaulle; "The graveyard is full of indispensible men". Though I accept Robert's vision, I do not agree with it. It comes down to this: whatever you do in this life, can not be lost. Your thoughts, your knowledge and ideas will somehow live on as you keep spiralling towards other places in other forms. As caterpillars become butterflies. Somehow, I think it's linked to the chemistry in your brain and that just all stops working when your heart fails, ultimately.
It's been fun and inspiring to listen to it that night, but it's hard to get a proper discussion on the subject as it's all about beliefs. There are no factual differences for anyone to use. I don't even know what to say about it anymore, so let me go on with what happened the last few days.
Tuesday, the second day off, was spent in the room with some TV watching and doing nothing at all. Wednesday was another day at work, in which we yet again did some things related to our new house. Headed to Galleria Mall after work for some food with Bart and Georgi, and finished the evening watching some Wipeout, or was that the day before?
Thursday, Georgi bought a car and Bart and I worked our asses off, as the hotel was nearly fully booked. It's fun that way, but things don't go as precise anymore, and you spend way more time alone, just checking, checking, checking, instead of discussing things with people, and learning some new things on the side as you're overhearing conversations, finding new things in the computer programs and figure out something to do in a room that you were supposed to do since day one. That idea.
Today, we got a notice saying that the owner of the house is now completely moved out and we can move in whenever we want. So that's going to be on monday. A lot of our friends around here are off that day, and so are we, so we'll have people to help us move, point us in the right direction with a few things and just be of great value overall. If I manage to get myself that state ID before monday, I'll also have my iPhone, finally! It's about time, though it hasn't even been a month yet. Also, we just ate out in Le Marche, the retail-minded restaurant (you can buy quite a few things they used as ingredients). Prices there are generally high, but the food is sooooo good, and the ingredients are great I must say.
Then, to finish it, we got crepes (we pronounced it differently here in case people thought we were talking about "crap" instead) with banana-chocolate fillings. With whipped cream and caramel ice cream. Apparently people are having a dessert making competition there for fun, at times, and we got to play jury for one of them. We'll go there more often now, I guess. It's located in the hotel, we get employee discount and free desserts like this. And we haven't even touched the ice cream buffet. That's what I mean!
Sorry for the lack of information this time around, but it's just been a lot of work, staying at home arranging things and watching series and more of the routine things mentioned before.
Next week the moving. We got three days off. Monday, tuesday and friday. Friday we are probably fully set so we might move out to do something exciting again. Not to mention that that next friday is, once again, payday.
Arcane Daguerro - A Concept Through Eternity. And yes, soon I will explain the entire "Daguerro" nickname idea that I've been associated with for a few years now.
