Word of the day with bonus example! Amazing!

December 28th 2007 11:04

Gambit

Pick pocketed from dictionary.com
1. An opening in chess in which a minor piece, or pieces, usually a pawn, is offered in exchange for a favourable position.
2. A maneuver, stratagem, or ploy, especially one used at an initial stage.
3. A remark intended to open a conversation.

I'd like to make an example of No.3

Default person #1: Hello. You're captivating!
Default person #2: Wow, what a gambit. You might have a chance of beating me at chess now. *check mates default person #1* Woops, better luck next time.

Fine.

The lock&key syndrome

December 28th 2007 05:35

There are certain things which make people feel acutely happy. For me, it is discovering a new glorious facet of myself that I never knew previously. Sometimes, such an intimate element can come in the form of vibrations. Good vibrations, may I add

No kids, nothing like that. What I'm obscurely referring to there is nothin' but music.

I shall drop an apple from my biographical tree for you now - not too long ago, I started working at Sanity and to be frank, that place is insane! In a good way, and a bit of a bad way as well. Not to demean the store in any way at all, hang on, who am I kidding, yes I choose to criticise the franchise right now by saying, you guys freaking suck about not letting us choose the discs to properly rock&roll with in the store. I'm saying, you should honour us, your simpleton hard-working, awesomeo sales assistants with some musical ointment to soothe our professional ears with. We after all, being appointed by the company, should evidently possess some degree of what I can only call, decent good taste. I know, that was dripping in conceit...but cumon!

Cyber readers, I present to you the uncovering of my daily dosage of vibrating craves: Wally de Backer aka Gotye (GOTYE not GOYTE, like the doofs in our store have listed him as) and if it were up to me, I'd be spinning his tunes anyday. There aren't too many artists out there who have grabbed me left, right and centre like he has. A certain phenomenon called the lock&key syndrome has struck me hard. I feel like he completes me, he is my other half and yarda yarda yarda. It's artists like these that make me continue to legally purchase albums and I'm thrilled with patriotic pleasure that he's an Aussie artist! Upon listening to his second album, Like Drawing Blood, I'm only a little bit more closer to really understanding his music. It's earthy, it's quirky and brilliantly experimental. I really do appreciate the musical talent and the beats he's given birth to from his clearly skilled percussionist hands which are oozing out of this record. Stand out tracks are the songs that I listened to on his myspace but I'm really feeling his ARIA performance song, Learnalilgivingandlovin. Being a fellow sax player myself, it's always fun to listen to real musicians belting out their own thang. The joys of improvisation,

Enough gushing.

Random thought of the day - there just isn't nearly enough variety in foot deoderant scents.

We're not in Pemberley anymore

December 27th 2007 00:31

We all know the magnetic effect of a fine looking actor/tress. They generate audiences, and at times certain types of audiences. But there is something in that mix of actor/tress in whichever series you choose that is electrifying, and inarguably, ADDICTIVE.

Let's take FOX series, Prisonbreak. There is no question, OF COURSE, that Mr. Wentworth Miller and his mixed hybrid looks and his on-screen brother played by rough and rugged meaty Dominic Purcell were chosen because, they're just subjectively hot, right? But my question is, what is it that leads us, vulnerable, young innocent thang audiences to the wide world of the Internet and to a feverish stalkerish search for their every personal details right down to the very colour they like their shoes to be in...and the exact number of pectoral muscles that are rippled on their Herculeian type bodies?

Because the truth of the matter is, we're no longer in the time era where modesty and diffidence is the core of our social existence. No, this 21st century has brought to us an etching need to know, know, KNOW - and to do that, we perform whatever devious tricks to get to the stage of obtaining for ourselves, mild papparazzi personas. We were kindly invited to know their characters on the tv show, and once upon a time, that was a more than generous gesture. Now, we like to think those characters can actually take a tangible form, one in which is more accessible to our greedy, longing hands and we shape up all kinds of innocent (or maybe dirty) fantasies.

And for that sole reason, this is why I think wikipedia is wildly useful. Maybe this is your cue to go and find some evolutionary meaning of yourself or whatever they like to say to make you feel guilty about the underachievement that is your life...or maybe it's time Wikipedia got to know you

Kidding. Not really...

Ahhhhhhhh-CHOO

Excellent. The beginnings of my irreverent thoughts are probably produced in exactly the same way that millions of tiny particles have decided to push their way into this green and blue globe of ours that we call, the WORLD as a sneeze.

And you think, wow what a mouthful...of absolute irreverence. And quite a fascinating metaphor - the sneeze - to liken with the birth of the musicka'en blog
