the dangerous sign of laziness and enchanted air
It's 7 pm.
Had a sectional, picked up my father from the air port, it was around 4:30 ish.
Finished the 2 La Corda D'Oro manga that father brought back from Japan -it still continues.
And then I continued to watch where I left off on the Anime version.
It's 7 pm.
What a delicious use of procrastination.
Watching La Corda D'Oro made me think.
For those of you that don't know that anime, it's basically a beautiful anime revolved around the power of music (with of course, romance <3). Group of musicians discover their own unique style and power of music, as well as what it means to them by helping each other out, while competing for the first place at the school competition.
The anime is very serious about instruments and music, that you know they're not making crap up just to make the characters interesting.
My mom owns the video games that originally started the whole series, and every music is played by professionals, and every aspect is true to the feelings and hard work of musicians, and of course music itself. It is a simple romance game, but the substance that goes into the game, I give it the highest rating. Especially when I'm a musician too, though not that good.
So watching the anime made me think.
Today after school, Salvucci game up to me excitedly saying he figured out the C. chord progression or something, and explained to me how this musician played his pieces in intervals of major 3rd chords.... and such.
I'm a pianist as well but I couldn't really follow what he was saying.
But listening to him really made me realize that Nick's life revolves around music. Even during physics he's trying to figure out music, and not only Nick but other people in the school as well.
"It must be nice to be so passionate about something," was what I thought as I listened to him.
The character's in the anime -all of their lives either revolves around already, or begins to revolve around music, and discovers how music is part of their life. How important their instrument are to them -their violin, flute, cello, trumpet, clarinet...
And it's not just music. I know a lot of people are passionate (to a dangerous level) about videogames and anime itself, art, theatre, singing, sports, writing...
While almost everyone around me is so passionately into something, I just can't find a thing that I'm THAT interested or passionate about.
Music and art is some of my strong points, but it's not at that level of "passionate", you know?
At every competition I go to, or at evaluation, the judges always tell me I have potential to get better, that I'm one step to being "outstanding". But do I have the self-"push" to get there? Simply, no. I don't have the heart for it.
I guess I admire them and am a little jealous.
lol what am I saying, right?
Maybe I'll find something in the future. It's not too late.
I'm just afraid I'm gonna end up letting life slip past my fingers without much meaning.
eh, time to do homework.
