Apollo era is still the golden age of aerospace!

Ode to Apollo 11 and the joy of discovery

Sitting in my room (back home in NYC) listening to Interstellar soundtrack is just an awe-inspiring experience! It was an epic scifi film, one with emotion, action, love, and sweeping landscapes of a ‘strange new world’. Surely everyone who has seen this movie probably felt some element of that.

But what really kept the philosophical meaning of the movie was the OST. I mean the score by Hans Zimmer is just absolutely dramatic and otherworldly! It just makes you fell as if you were witnessing the grandeur of our universe, the impossible and the pioneering voyages, right from the characters mind.

Oh (still listening to the music) and the empowering sound whilst giving us the violins, organs and horns of the epicness made his soundtracks magnificent. And, its just beautiful how Hans sneaks in his moving piano themes that brings out the characters emotions and yearning so very well. It just stamps these vibes and what you make out of the movie scene right into your head. 

Ok getting to the point here: Of course one of Interstellar’s novum is love. I still ponder on Brand’s quote “Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.“ I mean Interstellar does not try to say that love is another dimension. It's actually just a beautiful metaphor?

Look, all of the emotional factors in Interstellar simply should not undermine the idea concept that love is just as solid and strong as the other forces making up our planet universe. So talking chemistry, love is no more unstable than certain radioactive elements, it pushes and pulls us better than gravity ever could, and it endures through time (metaphor, duh).

People who have seen interstellar interpret it in many different ways! Some are just blindly wowed by the science and how epic it was, and some.. 

(my eyes are drooping right now...i should perhaps get some sleep lol) But really, Interstellar is utterly filled with deep elements of existential-philosophical subtext! I’m afraid to use the word ‘love’ outside the quotation marks but yea! I’m just rambling at this moment.

the characteristic difference of one who goes to Juilliard / RISD is crazy

Tumblr is cool... Great discoveries 😃

forever

I don't believe in luck. I do believe we've known each other since forever, though. Her: Really? Yeah. You know how? When the big bang happened, all the atoms in the universe, they were all smashed together into one little dot that exploded outward. So my atoms and your atoms were certainly together then, and, who knows, probably smashed together several times in the last 13.7 billion years. So my atoms have known your atoms and they've always known your atoms. My atoms have always loved your atoms.

This newfangled micro-blog is either (1) a chance to test my creative web  skills, (2) a space where I can throw my deepest thinking (sort of like my philosophy) of my deepest soul, (3) a cool to place to express what I see through the lens of my camera (did you know that iPhone is the most popular camera in the world?!), or (4) some mixture of everything.

If you continue to read this, I can assure you three (3) things: (1) impeccable grammar and spelling (thanks to auto spell check), (2) a total lack of entertainment (literally, everyone’s view of entertainment is different), (3) an alliteration of photos, and (4) so many listings.

Sound I like (also known as music)

Before you start to read this post, listen to this music as you read through.

My taste in music is “eclectic”*. I like all of the music I listen to, so obviously I have really good taste in music.

There is nothing quite so magical or moving as an powerful orchestral piece played by a full symphony orchestra. I have nothing against poppy music, nor do I have anything against wild bashing and screaming music (except that I mostly hate it), but if I were stuck in Antarctic for the rest of my life, I would die quickly of Hypothermia listen to epic soundtracks like:

“Imagine the Fire”, Hans Zimmer, The Dark Knight Rises

“The Promise”, Michael Nyman

“Extraction Point” , Hans Zimmer, Modern Warfare 2 (a video game with epic score?)

“Escape”, Craig Armstrong

 London Philharmonic’s finest.

 Or simply instrumental.

If you’re still listening to the music, I hope so, right? Imagine you’re sitting in that room, as a group of 50 people playing a song – using violins, bass drums, cellos, and a touch of piano – it precisely melds together into a beautiful, powerful, multifaceted sound…  and it’s just magical as the conductor keeps the whole thing together..  

As you might have seen in movies (like Harry Potter), a wand is portrayed as an instrument for magical occurrence. If you realize, a conductor’s baton (wand) also produces magical waves. I mean, with the flick of a wrist, a conductor can shape music like a painter with his paint brush. He can create striking thunders from the bass drums to the electrifying sharp pitch of the violins.

*I really do have a weird (wide spectrum) taste in music.

By the time I finished writing this, I realized that music is an expression, as it can only be played or heard (its really hard to ‘talk’ about music).

comfort

there’s nothing wrong with choosing a comfortable life over a difficult one, as long as at each reevaluation and reflection you can truthfully say, “there’s nowhere better I could be than where I stand today”
