Music Madness..

4 Mayıs 2005

Today, I went my music store to buy some CD’s.. It’s been a long time not to go there and I had a long list.

I bought 7 new CD and 5 of them I already wanted to have: Seal, Maroon 5 (Songs About Jane), Joss Stone (Mind, Body&Soul), West Life (Allow Us To Be Frank) and Jay Jay Johanson (Prologue:Best of the Early Years 1996-2004)

Others were discovered by me with accidentially:

Renee Olstead; I love jazz performances very much. When I think of the jazz vocals, I tend to think of Diana Krall, Norah Jones  from present and Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald from the past. If you listen to Renee Olstead’s album, you can not believe your ears.. Besides she is just 16,  I think she will be my favourite female voice in jazz. I loved it..

Jane Monheit(Come Dream With Me): She is also very young, at the age of 23. She is also has a beautiful voice. I listened only 3 songs, but I loved it, too.

Sunday night when I was at my friend’s place, I listened incrediable 2 -new to me-performance from his archive. I asked today my music store these two, but unfortunaltely he couldn’t have.

Then, I attached them to my wish list..! Well, now maybe you think that I ‘am trying to point out something:))But, no…! I’am not that kind of shameless person…

I would like to share their names with u in case just keep it in your mind.  I bet you’ll enjoy Lagrimas Negras by Bebo Valdés and Barouge Favourites by Jacques Loussier Trio as I do.

“Day Calls You”..

3 Mayıs 2005

Hey wake up. Day calls you to your life: Your duty.

And to live, nothing more.

Root it out of the glum night and the darkness that covered your body for which light waited on tiptoe in the down.

Stand up, affirm the straight simple will to be a pure slender virgin.

Test your bodys metal: Cold, heat?

Your blood tell againts the snow, or behind the window.

The colour in your cheeks will tell.

And look at people: Rest doing no more than adding your perfection to another day.

Your task is to carry your life high, and play with it, hurl it like a voice to the clouds so it may retrieve the light already gone from us.

That is your fate: to live.

Do nothing.

Your work is you, nothing more..

~ From Pedro Salinas (1891-1951)

The Sweetest Things..

2 Mayıs 2005

Yesterday morning I was at the park.. I was walking to be aware of everything around me: Trees with new green clothes, flowers with different and beatutiful colours, little creatures on leaves and soil and the branches started to sprout out…

While I was walking, I wondered that if anybody at the park interested with the enviroment or looked at the nature like me!

Sometimes we miss something small or big, important or not.. It’s enough to stop just a minute and look at and think about your surrondings. People you loved, things that you enjoyed to do, your favourite songs, favourite places to be in..

Maybe we have to think and live like no tomorrow.

Maybe we have to steal just 10 minutes from the daytime. It looks nothing if we think the whole day.! If you do that you can not believe what its effect of your life afterwards.

Happy Birthday AYSUN:)

30 Nisan 2005

She was born and grew up within a big&lovely family… After she finished the school, she was thrown in this cruel word to do something she desired ..

Her second job changed her life. Because she met us!

She is one of my colleques, one of my fun party member, she is beatutiful, enjoyable, impatient, meticuolus, talkative and kindhearted person.

Happy birthday Aysun.

I wish you a wonderful, healthy and lucky life with full of love, full of success and full of fun!

Success..

29 Nisan 2005

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and affection of the children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty and to find best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healty child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

…….inacurrately attributed to Ralph Waldo EMERSON

Başarı;

Sık sık ve çokca gülmek,

Akıllı insanların saygısını ve çocukların sevgisini kazanmaktır..

Dürüstçe eleştirenlerin takdirini kazanmak, sahte dostların ihanetine tahammül edebilmektir..

Güzeli takdir etmek ve insanların içindeki iyiyi bulmaktır.

Geride ister sağlıklı bir çocuk, ister küçük bir bahçe ya da iyileştirilen sosyal bir durum bırakarak, dünyayı daha yaşanabilir bir hale getirmektir.

Tek bir kişi bile olsa, birinin sizin varlığınızdan dolayı rahat nefes aldığını bilmektir.

*Thank you Burcu to remind me this beautiful quotation this beautiful Friday morning…
