At this age in my life, I'm learning that love has a different meaning all together from what I used to think it was, back in my teenage years. Love to me today is not about what you receive from the other, but what you could give to the other...

816 The One Where Joey Tells Rachel

"You don't think there's somebody better suited for Monica than me?" "I believe in falling in love." "But soulmates (the way you define them, Phoebe)? No."

Chandler doesn't believe in some mystical star-crossed thing like Phoebe does. He believes their personalities are compatible, that their interests match and that they complement each other. And that with work and effort, those matching, well-suited, puzzle pieces can slot together to make a whole.

Nine 8 One@Metal For Mercy, 31.08.2024

Es war ein sehr schöner und gutbesuchter Abend voller Spaß. Leider sehr unlukrativ, aber das ist man ja mittlerweile gewöhnt. Immer schön das Geld nach oben scheffeln. Liegt allerdings nicht an Metal For Mercy, die einen echt guten Job machen, um die Szene im Pott zu beleben. Vielen Dank an alle Fans und die coolen Bands, mit denen wir gespielt haben und coole Gespräche führten.

On the opposite spectrum of what I said this morning about Raven Symone.

Beyoncé. Lol I’m not a Stan and if you read my posts, you would know. However, I can’t deny how Cowboy Carter has started a discourse that really needed to be had. And opened up a real look at how black people have related to country music and cowboy culture historically. And shining a spotlight on how we’ve been unjustly shunned from the genre. Even though people can freely take from hip hop and r&b without criticism or the assumption that it’s black only. Basically if black people treated white folks in hip hop like they treat us in country, Jack Harlow, Mac Miller, MGK, and Eminem would not have careers. Just the facts.

Beyonce mentioning Tracy Chapman in her acceptance speech was what garnered respect from me. My mom loved Tracy Chapman and I grew up listening to her. Tracy is so major when it comes to black representation in folk/alternative and I guess in someways country music. Although I never considered her country, it became more apparent to me when a white country artists sampled her song Fast Car and made his own version. His version goes by the same title. Listen to both of you’re curious. Anyway clearly Beyonce is spearheading redefining what it means to be a country artist and I hope she continues to lead the way in bending other genres as well.

She really deserved that innovator award.

See I can be critical AND supportive whenever the time calls lol.

How would I define success? When your heart can finally say, ''I'm now all ready to die, ready to depart, to the next phase of my journey, from known to unknown!"

CONCIERTO CON LA LONDON CITY ORCHESTRA

Este otono fui invitado a dirigir la London City Orchestra, una fantastica orquesta, bien gerenciada, compuesta por profesionales, amateurs y estudiantes del mas alto nivel, en la temporada de su decimo aniversario. El programa fue grande y variado: 'La Valse' de Ravel, la 'Sinfonia da Requiem' de Britte, y la suite grande del 'Lago de los Cisnes' de Tchaikowsky, a la cual le agregamos el Finale del ballet para redondearla.

La LCO y yo nos conocemos desde hace algunos anos ya, conmigo visitandolos como maestro preparador de varias diferentes secciones de la orquesta, y el ocasional ensayo tutti. Pero esta fue la primera vez que ellos me confiaban un proyecto complet, desde el primer ensayo hasta el concierto final en el dia de conmemoracion del armisitico de la primera guerra mundial; dia que -habria sido imposible pronosticar- resulto tambien ser el dia de la marcha pacifica mas grande del Reino Unido en defensa de paz y pidiendo alto el fuego para el pueblo palestino. Tratando de navegar calles bloqueadas a traves de la capital en una bicicleta alquilada cuando buses, subtes y taxis no estaban disponibles, llegue media hora tarde al ensayo general.

Este proyecto fue una buena oportunidad para implementar mi enfoque 'Orquesta Redefinida'. En lo mas esencial, la fuente del enfoque es respeto y amor por el projimo. Si esto parece como algo muy mistico y no puntual, y los lectores preferirian que hable de forma mas tecnica y pragmatica, les diria que mi tecnica de direccion, de orquesta y de ensayo son simplemente manifestaciones externas de un centro que busca zambullirse dentro de la musicalidad individual, los puntos de vista, y las experiencias de vida de los musicos de la orquesta, y los ayuda a hacer a estos emerger a la superficie, canalizandolos en su ejecucion, como parte del grupo sinfonico. Contextualizar la musica, y relacionarla a nuestras propias experiencias de vida, desde lo mas exaltado a lo mas mundano -a menudo simultaneamente- es clave.

El director aqui es muy literalmente, un primus inter pares; no mas un despota, o al menos, la figura arquetipica de poder de antano. Una buena parte del poder que puede decirse se percibe que tiene el director, emana, en este enfoque, del darselo a los musicos de la orquesta; en crear avenidas para la expresion de los individuos, en concierto con quienes la/lo rodean: una especie de anti-poder, mas como un modus operandi Zen:. 'Mi autoridad emana de vosotros y ella cesa ante vuestra presencia soberana'.

Naturalmente, tengo una vision artistica clara, firme, y lo mas informada al momento posible de las obras que interpretamos, y los pongo en su lugar cuando lo precisan. Los reto si tengo que hacerlo, y nunca acepto menos de lo absolutamente mejor de lo cual ellos (y cualquier orquesta) son capaces. Siempre insisto, pero con carino, amabilidad, empatia, humor, tomando el pelo a ellos o a mi, o cualqier otro medio que me surja en el momento. Pero el camino mas colaborativo y menos vertical, rinde una espeice de jardin musical-humano de profunda alegria. Los musicos, muchos por primera vez, son consultados en como pienan que tal o cual pasaje o textura debe tocarse.

El concerto, mas breves palabras mias relacionando la conmemoracion, mas los eventos corrientes, fue un evento poderoso y feliz, que recibio a la gente de pie. Mas tarde, la orquesta me escribio sus pensamientos y sentimientos sobre el trabajo. Las palabras que mas emplearon fueron: gracias, amor, inspiracion, diversion, energia, pasion, alegria, iluminacion, relajamiento, amabla, dado, y dinamismo. Muchos expresaron cuanto habian aprendido. A ellos, y por la oportunidad de compartirtodo esto con ellos y el publico, estoy profundamente agradecido.

Tim Drake Does Not Believe in Ghosts

Which is a problem because his boyfriend is a ghost. Or, at least, that’s what Danny keeps trying to explain to him.

Tim isn’t dismissive—he’s fascinated by Danny’s abilities and origin story. But ghosts as in “the dead-but-not-gone spirits of human beings”? That just doesn’t register for him. Tim has met aliens, time travelers, and gods alike, but actual ghosts feel like a line too far for his rational mind.

“It’s probably a dimensional thing,” Tim muses one night while calibrating a piece of ectoplasm-sensitive tech. “You’re a type of interdimensional entity made of ectoplasmic energy, and your world calls them ghosts because it’s a good linguistic match. Makes sense.”

Danny stares at him from his spot on the couch, one eyebrow twitching. “Tim, I’m literally dead.”

Tim pauses, turning his chair to face Danny. “Okay, but… not really, right? Because you’re still here. Like, functioning. Alive-ish. It's more likely that the portal exposure altered your molecular structure and tethered your consciousness to an ectoplasmic state. That doesn’t make you a ghost, Danny. It makes you… a transdimensional being, maybe?”

Danny sighs, sitting up and dragging his hands through his hair. “Tim, I died. My heart stopped. My body turned into ectoplasm. And now I’m stuck between being alive and… not.”

Tim’s expression softens as he sets the equipment down. “I’m not trying to invalidate what happened to you, Danny,” he says gently. “I just think you’re reshaping what it means to exist. ‘Ghost’ feels like the wrong word for someone as... tangible as you. You’re not some lingering spirit—you’re real. You’re you.”

Danny blinks at him, caught off guard. “Well... that’s kinda sweet, but it’s also wrong. I’m literally the definition of a ghost. I haunt places. I make ghost noises.”

“Sure, Danny,” Tim says, with a small, indulgent smile that sends Danny spiraling between affection and frustration. He reaches over to squeeze Danny’s knee. “You’re definitely a ghost.”

Danny groans, flopping back onto the couch. “You’re impossible.”

“I’m practical,” Tim corrects, leaning back in his chair.

“No, you’re dense.”

It’s not like Danny hasn’t tried to convince him. He’s gone intangible mid-conversation, flown through walls, and even pulled out his ghostly wail—though he only did that because Bruce was safely out of earshot. None of it works. Tim just treats it all like a fascinating science experiment instead of proof that Danny is, in fact, dead.

“Tim, what will it take for you to admit that ghosts are real?” Danny grumbles, covering his face with a pillow.

Tim hums, thoughtful. “I don’t know. Hard evidence? Like a case study? Maybe letting me run some tests?”

Danny lifts the pillow just enough to glare at him. “You are the case study!”

Tim gives him an easy smile. “Exactly. And the results are inconclusive.”

He’s still annoyed, but… well, maybe having a boyfriend who insists on understanding everything isn’t the worst thing in the world.

At least Tim cares enough to try. Even if he’s completely, utterly wrong.
