Delirious = fun for all (but me)

Terve! Hola! Bonjour! Kalla! Goddag! Hallo! Guten label! Olá! Ciao! God dag! Hallå! Abyssus!

Guess what? Those twelve hellos I gave to you are almost all found in TWO languages? I found Hallo the most, so often in fact, that if I'd put in all the languages with only that for Hello (on my translator) there would be two more hallos up there. Just thought you'd like to get a thought to begin the post.

Now why did I begin with a thinker? Today, I plan to challenge the way you think about the world. (Okay, so I'm mostly here to help you understand there's a world outside your country).

Did you know that there are 195 countries in the world?
Did you know that there are 6,700 languages spoken across the globe?
Did you know that there are about 4,200 religions on Earth?
Did you know there are around 6.5 billion people alive?

Did you know...

Our world is changing.
Technology will change.
Political powers will change.
Knowledge will change
Access to knowledge will change.
Exchange rates will change.
Music will change.
Ideals will change.
Travel will change.
Money will change.


Yet even in a world where so much is changing so quickly...

The essence of being human will not change.

Enjoy my little presentation? I was bored so... Well you know how I am :D
Or if you don't, might I say that I'm pleased to make you acquaintance. (Sorry about the silliness, it's 11:15 here in Hawaii, and I'm getting a bit delirious).

For the heck of it I've been coming up with a bunch of tee-shirt ideas (related to twilight), but I'm not going to tell anyone any of them until after all of the books in the series are published (including Midnight Sun).

No song, as I need to sleep.

Laters,

Podcasting

Okay, so my friend and I are starting a podcast for the twilight series, the host, and whatever else Stephenie Meyer might come out with. Our first episode is being recorded this Friday. We're going to be talking about what we thought of the Host. Our podcast is called 'Anti-Human', and I urge you to be there on the 21st when we will have the first episode out. (I must sheepishly admit that I'm not done with the design yet, so enjoy how lame it is while it lasts).

I also might learn how to make a banner ad and put it into the sidebar here.

I finished the Host. Six (or seven, it you count the have from I've) words to describe it "The best book I've ever read". It took me two days to read it. That book is so huge. My friend (see above) has my book, so I can't start re-reading it yet. I just asked her if she can finish it by Friday (again, see above) and she told me she still has to ask if she can do the podcast. YIKES!

I know that you're probably getting tired of all the Paramore songs of the day (although I'm not!) so I'm giving you another song by Death Cab For Cutie. My choice is 'What Sarah Said', it's on the CD Plans.

Hope you're having a great Tuesday (2x Tuesday at dominoes!),

Not a Chance

Ugh, this is impossible.

You see, about every other month college suddenly springs to the front of my mind. You have no idea how much I want to get a degree in tuba performance at UW. Absolutely no idea. And yet, I've looked through the application process.

There's no way that I have any chance.

Seriously, ALL the major and minor scales, MEMORIZED!?!?!?! Who can do that? Not me. That I'm sure of. Not to mention I have to preform two pieces. I'm bloody horrible at preforming on my own. And I have no tuba to practice on at all, a tuba is between 3,000 and 20,000 dollars, and that's simply for one of cheap good quality. I have no chance to get into this school, or any school for that matter (though UW, is preferable, as I'm a resident of Washington, and there's a difference of 16,000 dollars a year for the undergraduate program [less difference for the graduate program, but still...])

Ugh, I want to go to this school so badly. Nobody can have any idea how much. And it doesn't help that I'm not with a good group of musicians to be learning with at school. About half our class is given over to discipline, and lectures on life, simply because nobody manages to put any effort in.

Not to mention I don't have a lesson instructor. And I also need some skill on the piano (on which I can only play basic compositions in C position, probably with horrible technique as well.

Meanwhile I ache for the release of The Host. If only today could be tomorrow (actually, I need all the time I can get, so maybe I don't wish that, but still...).

No song for today, I'm not really in the mood...

Laters,
