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!
