One on this japanese scientist who decided to study water and the crystals they form. really interesting. im not sure how he did this, but he had water and put words printed on paper into them such as "beautiful" "hate" "anger" even things like "thank you" and "mozart". Then he took pictures of the crystals that formed to each corresponding word and it was nuts how things like beauty and wisdom had perfect crystals formed, and words like hate had very broken crystals or no crystals at all. "heart broken" even had a crystal in two pieces. the book had a bunch of pictures and everything it was really coool.
the second book was by a musician who became a neuroscientist, and wrote a book about music and the brain. it was so awesome! it talked about why we like certain music, how music affects us and i really cant begin to describe everything that was in it. it really got me interested...
also, some good advice i found just reading through other things. it was talking about relationships with people, specifically when arguments or issues happen. when two people fight, they usually take a side over and issue and they each take one side and fight. what it was suggesting is that you should both take the same side and fight against the issue, i guess this way is that you get rid of the issue and not one another. i thought it was pretty helpful advice, i mean ive never really thought of the situation in that way, see what some curious reading can do? i'm definitely going to go back, read random things, im always up for learning something new or reading something new
sorry this blog is just a bunch of random thoughts, though i think its worth atleast for me to write or put down somewhere.
im still listening to michael jackson songs everyday, am i the only one? timeless music, seriously.
summer feels extra long, i guess that is cause i do have a month longer than the previous years, but each day feels longer too.
what else, im really excited for college now UCI is gonna be fun zot zot, but i miss alot of people now and i am going to miss alot of people even more when school actually starts
i really miss playing music in a big setting, the only chance i get now is with Mr. Torns summer band, which is awesome, but i wish there were more opportunities. i especially miss jazz, gah, some of the song we played were just crazy, Last Season, always got to me. everytime i listen to it i still get the same feeling.
summer jazz band was super fun forgot to mention that,got to play with some people ive never played with before, awesome music too.
speaking of awesome music, dont you just love those songs that just grab ahold of your insides? recently ive been finding alot of music like that.
i think james taylors music is timeless, i watched a live concert dvd the other day with my family during lunch, it was great. you should all have some of his songs if you dont already.
well this has been a run-on blog, peace
