Quotes

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
 ~Oscar Wilde

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
  ~Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that
it is expected to work.
 ~John Von Neumann

The tendency to believe that things never change, the inertia of daily existence, is a staple of living. It has always been a delusion.
  ~Donald A. Wollheim

If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
  ~Isaac Asimov

Fear

Fear of failure
Fear of not meeting expectations
Fear of disappointing others
Fear of disappointing yourself
Fear of shame
Fear of pain
Fear of negative perceptions from peers
Fear of being incompetent
Fear of embarrasment

There really is only one fear. Fear itself.
Build a bridge. Get over it.
Get over yourself.

Focus on the task.
Think of the sense of accomplishment.
Just do it.

「あゆるものの真ん中で」～森山直太朗

Brilliant music and vocals from Naotaro as always.

The lyrics and melodies are always very pretty and creative.

However, not to say it is lacking in strength, but, well, I guess the vocals aren't so..how do I put it? sheesh I'm rambling. I guess, what I'm trying to say is that he isn't exactly belting out power ballads. Most of the tunes are either mellow or they're fun songs.

Maybe after 涙 the bars of my expectations have risen yet again. Most of the stuff out there are now only mediocre in comparison. It's wonderful and yet I've become a music snob. Other than selected musicals, Anthony Warlow and Nao-chan, there is little else I can listen to without being overly cynical and critical about. Well, recently I've gotten back into Classical.

So, back to Nao-I love all the songs but one fave is [人のことなんて]

I love the piano accompaniment. I love the simplicity of the message. I love his voice.
