Born to Run

August 28, 2008

Once upon a time and such a good time that it was there was a guy who called himself Nightdreamer and this guy who called himself Nightdreamer often had too much spare time and because he had too much spare time he wrote on this blog to fend off his boredom.

 

Okay, breathe.

 

Since the month of August of year 2008, though, he couldn’t concentrate on doing the things he used to do, like writing, working and studying. In the many times that he attempted to do any of the three, he would find himself absorbed in reveries. Some of his reveries had to do with imagining himself playing musical instruments that he didn’t play in real life. He dreamed of being a saxophonist, a pianist, a trumpeter, and a violinist. Right before beginning this blog post, he saw a youtube video and, though he trailed off again to a dreamland where he instead of that girl was playing the violin, he found himself utterly awed. Yes, he was awed, and it’s not because for one to describe how pretty the girl was one would have to use up all the intensifiers can be found in a thesaurus. Oh, no, even if one were crazy enough not to look at her, one would still be amazed at the beauty of the music she was playing. Get your speakers, turn the volume high, and be floored:

By the way, I don’t know who that girl is.

 

It feels quite liberating to be able to come up with a new post again (and to ditch the 3rd person way of writing. Sheesh, Nightdreamer, you’re such a wannabe)! I am, however, sad because I will only be revelling for a very short time. I’ve been very busy for two weeks - even if it doesn’t stop me from daydreaming - and it seems like my being busy will carry over until the end of next month. This past two weeks at work, I had too many projects to finish. And now that I have most of them dealt with, I got a new mission, one that is admittedly stupid: A friend of mine lent me 5 books – Something Wicked This Way Comes (Ray Bradbury), Coraline (Neil Gaiman), Mockingbird (Walter Tevis), Flowers for Algernon (Daniel Keyes), and The Lathe of Heaven (Ursula K Le Guin) - and I love being lent books; the problem is that I am required to finish all of them in a week! I also have to write letters to more than 20 persons. Insane, noh?

 

So for the next few days I won’t be updating my blog very frequently. I’m just saying that, if anyone cares to know. Before leaving, though, I want to suggest a blog for all of you. Go here. The author was my classmate. His blog is about everything geeky, and it’s a must read for those of you who want to be updated with geek movies, comics, videogames, and Pinay celebrities.
