When you get a new piece of Musical Gear... Be it hardware, software, rack-mount, stomp box, and so on... Put away the instructions aside from the set-up and throw the troubleshoot guide into the trash... Accidents and ignorance creates beautiful mistakes... (Jaco Pastorius : 1951 - 1987)

The Twins



adaptable vs nervous
versatile vs tense
witty vs superficial
intellectual vs inconsistent
eloquent vs inquisitive


to be honest it is quite amusing being born as a gemini..
as one of my closest friend who also a gemini once said "i am a true gemini, i have a true gemini personality.."
well indeed the person is, she's a very lively person, easy to mingle with everyone, attractive and of course like to be in a happening places.
but what about me? i'm not at all those personalities mentioned..

so, what is it exactly by the meaning of gemini personality?
perhaps this post is the answer of
ivan's quote of how can a person love jaco pastorius & utada hikaru at the same time.. and this also might be mistaken as a case of multiple identity by the famous rain witch doctor.. well of course my another fellow of gemini will have her own opinion about this..

i always thought myself as a true gemini, which always have something contradict in a way of everything. really like to do 'a' but also im a 'b' as well, or sometimes i think that perhaps there are couple of more identities trapped inside this body..

i can see these blue and white identity among few other more..
blue listens to all the glamourous heavy riff when he comes alive and relax to the dave matthews & toto on the softer side, while white listens to pastorius and trane to start the day and of course chet baker when he's in love..
blue can be spotted sitting in the corner of a public transportation listens to his earphones and daydreaming, while white prefers to read coelho's books or parsons' and hornby's to take him outside his present in time..
blue will be on his way home at 11pm with big grin on his face as the best concert has just finished, while white perhaps already sleep tiredly at 10pm or quite a big chance is still working on his paperwork..
blue is using his pc to record his so called 'my own stuff' music and played everything on it, the bass, guitars and keyboards, while white using his pc most of the day to collect information from his reuters or bloomberg platform to provide his money market transaction worked out..
blue likes to browse the music and video exchange in camden town on his spare time to get the reference and track back all kind of music he'd heard before, while white sometimes can be seen stealing time of his lunch break to browse the nearby library and get more reference on financial marketing..
blue takes the long night of playing two or perhaps three sets on a stage to get some quids every night he played in returns, while white would sit from 9 to 5 everyday in front of the platform making some deals done and balancing cash flow and wait untill the end of the month to get some kind of a letter with some numbers on it..

i never thought of these two can live together or even share a flat, i wonder what might happen if they are somehow meet and stuck together to get some conversation worked out, well atleast they both do have things in common, boy how do they love all about 'pure' music! but since both are introvert, there's a tiny bit of chance that they will go outside their room and eventually meet up..
but when they are trapped under the sign of gemini, the sign of the twins, which is dual natured, elusive, complex and contradictory. well, that makes uneasy to live things while you do your best doing something you really love but also cant stand every little bit of it..


anyway, im not quite sure which one is writing this post.. but none of them would make another post in a quite a while..
so, wish you all the best of luck and success in your life!
make the most of your present time!
just like before.. It's not a Goodbye, It's only See You Later!

Cheers!
.ais (or is it..?)

...Pale Blue Eyes

sometimes i feel so happy
sometimes i feel so sad
sometimes i feel so happy
but mostly you just make me mad
baby, you just make me mad
linger on, your pale blue eyes...

thought of you as my mountain top
thought of you as my peak
thought of you as everything
i've had but couldn't keep

linger on, your pale blue eyes...

if i could make the world as pure
and strange as what i see
i'd put you in the mirror
i put in front of me
linger on, your pale blue eyes...

skip a life completely
stuff it in a cup
she said, money is like us in time
it lies, but can't stand up
down for you is up
linger on, your pale blue eyes...

it was good what we did yesterday
and i'd do it once again
the fact that you are married
only proves, you're my best friend
but it's truly, truly a sin

linger on, your pale blue eyes...

Pale Blue Eyes - Velvet Underground

bolak balik mendengarkan lagu ini dari mixtape nya Ipan sambil merenungkan pernah mendengar di mana gerangan lagu ini karena tone nya macam menempel di sel sel kelabu memanggil manggil saya. macam baru bangun dari koma, saya lantas terpikir sepertinya pernah mendengarnya di sebuah pilem. dari Google saya menemukan jawapannya...

The Contact (1997) menceritakan tentang seorang cewek yang jatuh cinta sama seorang penyiar radio/music director yang dikenalnya lewat chat-room... ternyata, di real-life cewek ini suka request lagu 'Pale Blue Eyes'nya Velvet Underground yang juga disuka sama si pak MD dan selalu diputer pas akhir siaran... si cowok itu digambarkan sebagai orang yang cold-hearted karena sering kecewa sama cinta... si cewek ini juga trauma sama cintanya di masa lampau sampai kena gangguan kantung air matanya kering saking seringnya menangis, jadi sedikit sedikit harus pakai tetes mata...

pilem Korea ini saya tonton sekitar 5 tahun lalu di screening JIFFest pertama, merupakan salah satu pilem yang saya suka selain The Apple dari Iran dan Central Station dari Brazil *berikut review lengkapnya*... makanya saya agak kaget, kenapa alam bawah sadar saya sampai kepincut sama ini lagu, agagnya dalem ya dalemmm... sungguh pilem yang lomantish dan mengharukan tapi tidak cengeng dan menye menye... seperti layaknya pilem Jepang, banyak bahasa simbolik yang membuat hati teriris iris... saya ingat endingnya, mereka mencoba ketemuan di sebuah bioskop tapi selisipan sempat membuat si cewek putus asa... dan akhirnya si cewek bisa menangis, air matanya kembali lagi... uhu uhu uhu...

sometimes you cried too much, it makes you forget how to cry...
a good to cry could really cleanse your soul, you know...

Achirnya...

kalo ada yg mau ngeracunin saya blek sabat,
sekarang waktu yg tepat, sobat...
*it's rhyme*

Time has come to say goodbye
I know it's gonna make you cry
But you belong to another my love
And half a love, that just isn't enough

I am so tired (so tired)
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tired (so tired)
And I always thought we'd see it through, yeah

I've waited all this time for you
Believed your promises were true
I keep believing that you mean what you say
Be my tomorrow, now tomorrow's today

And I often sit and wonder why
You're not with me tonight
I stayed at home remaining true
While you do what you want to do, yeah


wah, tidak menyangka Opa Ozzy juga bisa menyanyi lagu begini. begitu dalam menyentuh jiwa. *curhat colongan* :D

anyway, bila berminat sekarang saya suka
curhat2 sama dinna olivia. ramalan ipan benar. :)

The Reason
hoobastank

"I've found a reason for me
a reason to start over new..
and the reason is you
"


everything has to have a reason..

sometimes we see one gives so much to another, it makes you think how great it is of someone could be that wonderful to gives all best for another..

when you come to think about it, good things given to someone else because of love, it is naturally do so.. it is supposed to be that way..

but, when good things given based only by one kindness and nurtured heart, without any reason.. nor love to stand for what one does.. i dont think it is naturally done..

does everything has to have a reason..
