“#3: Be Casual
We’re moving into what I call the era of the “Casual Web” (and casual content creation). This is much bigger than the hobbyist web or the professional web. Why? Because people have lives. And now, people with lives also have broadband. If you want to hit the really big home runs, create services that fit in with—and, indeed, help—people’s everyday lives without requiring lots of commitment or identity change. Flickr enables personal publishing among millions of folks who would never consider themselves personal publishers—they’re just sharing pictures with friends and family, a casual activity. Casual games are huge. Skype enables casual conversations.”
Can’t imagine a really good Rap music that raps about love, culture, hunger etc. Cheerios to Black Eyed Peas!
“But if you only have love for your own race, Then you only leave space to discriminate and to discriminate only generates hate.
People killing people dying, Children hurtin you hear them crying . Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek? Where is the love?
If love and peace so strong, why are there pieces of love that don’t belong. Nations dropping bombs, chemical gases filling lungs of little ones.
With ongoing suffering, As the youth die young. So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong, with this world that we living in. People keep on giving in ,Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and Not respecting each other, Deny thy brother
The wars’ going on but the reasons’ undercover, The truth is kept secret . Swept under the rug If you never know truth , Then you never know love Where’s the love
Most of us only care about money makin. Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media, Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria , Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema Whatever happened to the values of humanity, Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we’re spreading anomosity. Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feeling under
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feeling down
It’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feeling under I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found”

Another day, just believe. Another day, just Breathe. Breathe of Life! Respect Life!
Believe in ourselves… find the key within ourselves to unlock the pure life itself. In this world of darkness , we lack compassion and love.
Find thyself, Find Life.
US$100 laptopsound like a dream comes true! Personally I think its a great solution. Computer penetration is definately too low now. We need to get everyone connected somehow into Information Superhighway. US$100 laptop is great for developing countries… This is a great way to speed up the learning with use of technology to all kids and even adult. Great Work! I will definately get one for myself.
As for United Nation:-
I strongly suggest that United Nation first feed the poor children with food rather than a US$100 laptop. Global poverty is a big issue! United Nation tag-line should be “One hamburger per child”.
This 26 year old has brought jazz music to the masses. His Debut Album “Twenty Something” sold over 2 million copies and received a Grammy nomination. His album “Catching Tales” offers more pop influenced jazz. He wrote the entire album (except a couple of jazz standards) in 4 months.
I just love Jamie’s music…. listening to his track “High and Dry” , writing my feelings…. Its not about the lyrics.. its about the music, the tune, Jamie’s voice.. GREAT WORK Jamie!
Respect! Not everything is all about how old you are, how many years of experience you have…. There are many things we can learn from young people. Their innocence, Their Pureness, Their unlimited Love…
When we were Babies, we don’t care for anything at all, we will just do whatever we want, wherever we are, without hesitations…. As we grow older, we were told not to do this, we can’t do that. Many times, we are afraid try new things, make a big leap, make a big step because our comfort zone. Afraid to take a new step, afraid of changes, afraid of losses.
Sometimes, we should try to make a first step out of our comfort zone. Try new things… world without limit, Spread our wings! Do great things! Why some people are so successful in life?
They DARE TO TAKE THE FIRST STEPS! You might see great things… Believe in yourself!
Another wonderful music from the Buddha Bar Collection… I have difficulties trying to find out more about this group…
They have a great combination of music instrument used…. Fusion of Great Instrument and Culture.
Listening to this music, makes me feel the that all cultures can be united!
Hatred, War, Poverty I believe is all BULL-SHIT! If all countries of different cultures and believes unite , the world can be a better place. Helping each other, creating values not enemies.
I really dont understand what have the world become now. Spread Love not Hatred!
Sorry for not updating my Blog lately.. have been busy with meetings and my new projects.
Currently taking my Master of Science in Business Information Technology… Will try to write all my favourite music!
Don’t be deceived by her looks… she might look like disney movie character… Listen to her great voice! I was surprise when i saw her picture… just couldn’t believe my eyes. It’s true that you can never judge a book by its cover…
Her voice is so beautiful and forceful…. Combination of true voices in this music, it’s simply perfect! I believe we need to find a perfect combination in life… Life is simply Beautiful!
This is a very soft, slow piano piece by Jean-Yves Thibaudet. Simple is Beautiful , that’s a frequent motto of my good friend “T” . It is so comfortable listening to this great piano solo. One can feel what is going on around… so quiet, so clear, almost crystal like pureness…..
Sometimes when we put things in a slower pace… just like the piano solo. You will tend to see more things, hear more things… Everything will be clearer and simpler…
Everything that we see and listen is stamped into our brain…. the speed of the capture and stamping makes a big difference in result.
Do you remember what you see while going to work everyday? Oceans, flowers , people?
Do you sometimes notice that the Ocean you see is so much more beautiful today?
Try to look at things in a slower pace… you will see the difference.
Music, is part of our lives… Music can bring you happy, sad, lonely, confidence … the list goes on and on… It’s part of us. But what is real music?
Presently, the music that is being presented to the people is void of direction and emotion. Music today is being presented merely for the sake of a few; it is for those who seek stimulation and pleasure of the moment. Modern music is slowly deteriorating. It has lost the spirit of humanism and no longer has the power to inspire vitality and hope for the future. Music often determines the direction in which the youth of a nation will travel. How unfortunate that the level of modern music has led youth on the path to delinquency. When music plays such a role, its functions must be called evil. By President Ikeda of SGI
Music is the flower of culture, a language common to the entire world. It is a thing of beauty sought by everyone. True music is music that brings Culture and Love to everyone.
PURE, made when Hayley was 15, introduced the world to a unique new voice. Poised, angelic and characterised by its breath-taking natural beauty, her voice won the hearts of millions and enabled PURE to reach some notable landmarks.
Pokarekare Ana, It’s one of the most wonderful song I have ever heard…. Her great angelic voice touches my heart every time I listen to it. I can feel the innocence, pure, passion and love for life itself….. Only those who listens to true music will be able to shape the world of us now. I do hope everyone can spread the love of music. Stay pure!
Today… I will not write about any music… Recently I have the pleasure to meet some great people from Andrea Bocelli’s Forum. I am really happy to be able to find someone that shares the same interests in Music and Art.
Here i would like to share a post from by PIM from Portugal on what she thinks of Music and Art …
Elvin for me, personally, to have in this forum a person as yourself, enlights me…. Yes, all my life I have listen to classic and non-classic music.
But the non-classic music, is from my days, Elvis Presley, Beatles, Neil Diamond, Righeous Brothers ( Unchained Melody ) and so on. But also to jazz….
But classics, where always the strong point in my home… no matter in which composer, in which vocal ( male or female) nor matter in which century we had the background of his music.
A voice is undoubtly a caller, as Andrea Bocelli did said once, and no doubt that in the World of Arts… in which I was insered, and still today, not only music, but painting, sculpture and literature. Read the rest of this entry »
The accomplished Baroque organist Johann Pachelbel was south German born, but spent much of his career in middle Germany. He studied in Nuremburg, Altdorf, and Regensburg before becoming the organist of St. Stephen’s Cathedral Vienna, Austria, in 1674.
His famous piece Canon (or Kanon). It is a baroque piece of music and has been interpreted by many, even found in modern pop songs. Canon is often recognized but sometimes not known by it’s name or composer. It is very popular at weddings, especially in the USA.
What does Canon mean then? Well not Cannon as many misinterpret it. Canon (or Kanon) is when a piece of music is imitated and repeated. First one instrument or vocal starts with a piece of the melody. Then after a number of tones, a second instrument or vocal starts to repeat, or imitate, the first one, playing the exact same tones, but with a time delay. More instruments or vocals may fill in depending on the composers wishes.
I have always wanted to be a musician , a pianist…. I have great love and passion for music… But my dream have swayed to become a technologist and a internet marketing guru now. But music is part of my life…. It’s with me all the time, I want everyone to learn to love the REAL MUSIC in life. Spread the Love of Culture , Music.
This is one of my favorite classical masterpiece by Johann Pachelbel, Canon in D Major. The Violins , the details of this piece, it brings me HOPE , CONFIDENCE in life… The music simply flows into me, letting me feel the greatest in life and achievement one can perform. ITS LIMITLESS OF WHAT ONE CAN DO!
Pachelbel’s Canon has a very special meaning for me personally. I listen to it when I’m happy and I listen to it when I feel sad. It touches my soul and sends shivers down my spine. And it still does, even though I’ve listened to it thousands of times. By Stefan, Sweden
Billie Holiday’s grandfather was one of 17 children of a black Virginia slave and a white Irish plantation owner. Her mother was only 13 when she was born. Between 1933 and 1944, she recorded over 200 “sides,” but she never received royalties for any of them.
Good Morning Heartache
Despite a lack of technical training, Holiday’s unique diction, inimitable phrasing and acute dramatic intensity made her the outstanding jazz singer of her day. Billie Holiday, a musical legend still popular today, died an untimely death at the age of 44.
Words can hardly express my feelings over her music. I strongly suggest all my friends and reader to purchase her CD collections! You can purchase her CD here Holiday Favorites
