I heard your footsteps outside my door.
I heard a slight pause as you reached it.
Were you looking for me?
I knew it was you, I’m not sure how;
A girls intuition I suppose.
I felt a shiver down my spine.
I heard your footsteps walking by my door;
I heard a slight pause as you reached it.
Were you looking for me?
I heard you breathe as if your were going to knock
– but you sighed and kept walking.
I would let you in if you would only ask.
It would be so wonderful to share my thoughts with you.
Richly talented Nine Inch Nails have released their latest CD titled With Teeth and Wow! It’s really a good one.
It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.
As Empire Magazine does its own countdown in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, they featured Heath Ledger as The Joker. One of the cunning villains of Batman, the coveted role was first be portrayed by a non-American putting our Aussie hot men to the ultimate test. That is for us moviegoers to find out, meanwhile he will be one of Bob Dylans in the coming biopic I’m Not There. Opposite Dark Knight co-star Christian Bale, Richard Gere, Ben Whishaw, Marcus Carl Franklin and Cate Blanchett they will employ the musician’s multi-faceted stages of his life.
We all do things in life that we later regret. More often than not; it involves pairing off with a tubster after a heavy night on the ale; or ‘Lenny Henry syndrome’ as it’s known on the street.
I am particularly ashamed of my behaviour while on a family holiday in Greece. The hotel manager struggled to understand the wife’s thick Glaswegian accent, and jumped to the conclusion that she was mentally challenged. I should really have set him straight, but a good parking space is hard to find.
The span of Chinese culture traverses 6,000 years, and the history of Chinese art is almost as long. The art of Chinese painting can be thought to begin with the Chinese written language, because Chinese characters began as simple pictures (or pictographs) thousands of years ago. These have evolved into the Chinese characters seen today. The technique of ‘painting’ those original pictographs naturally flowed into more detailed depictions of landscapes. The same utensils, round pointed brushes made from either goat hair or wolf hair are still used in traditional Chinese painting today. Painting and calligraphy were the two most highly prized arts in the courts of the nobles in ancient China, with calligraphy considered the purest form of art. Writings of famous calligraphers were mounted on scrolls and hung on walls.
Ever since humans could look at the sky above at nighttime, they could see the moon and the brilliant stars sprinkled all over the skies. The skies were so much better to look at back then without the contamination of all the lights in our modern society. Imagine how AWESOME and how much brighter and more brilliant all the stars, planets and the Moon appeared back then!
How to learn to play the piano. Choose a method that’s right for you from the many options available.
Private lessons.
This is the traditional route. It works for children, but not always so well for busy adults. The advantages are that the lessons are tailored just for you and you develop a close relationship with your teacher.
How to choose a teacher? Get recommendations from friends or someone who knows about music–the music teacher at your children’s school, the choir director at church, or from a local music store.

We argue that Newton had to introduce the first two Principles of Dynamics from obvious conditions of falsifiability. Take, for instance, the First Principle of Dynamics: in absence of any forces the trajectory of a motion has to be a straight line. If this principle would not be admitted by Newton we wouldn’t have today the concept of gravitation. Indeed, anyone can rightfully reason that we are not entitled to think of the force of gravitation acting on a planet, as long as we don’t know if the absence of this force would change the things as they are observed. As a matter of fact we will never know if the things will be changed indeed, because we just live with the planets apparently rotating around the Sun, so we have to postulate it. Here the experiment with the rotating stone and severed rope helps, in that it shows that the things will be changed: the trajectory will be different after the rope is cut.
-I don’t particularly enjoy going to the doctor, and I’m terrified by the sight of my own blood, but I’ve always been fascinated by the lives of my friends who practice medicine. (Side note: weird how it’s called “practicing” medicine – as if it’s akin to working on your jump shot.) My doctor friends seem to genuinely enjoy when I pepper them with annoying medical questions – and they usually know all the answers. Ever ask one of your lawyer friends a legal question? They not-so-subtly sigh, roll their eyes, then plead ignorance because it’s outside the scope of their firm’s practice (again with the practicing).
