The day Steve Jobs died

I woke up this morning to news that apple's Steve Jobs had passed. The BBC was reporting it and apple.com had his picture with 19955 - 2011 on the left side, it was all over twitter.

It was not a hoax. I usually read a lot of websites in the morning before I even brush my teeth and everyone had something on Steve. The more I read the more emotional I got. I'm really saddened by his death, a true visionary. I actually had tears coming out of my eyes, its ridiculous because I've never met the man and most of his products are so expensive I don't even own one.

The world will miss you Steven Paul Jobs. My condolences to your family.

F chord guitar

Why am I posting this? Well I'm learning to play the guitar and for a long time I've been, like he said avoiding songs that require me to play the F chord because I'm not used to it now. Well now I'm learning a few new songs and they have this darn chord and its nice to know everyone struggles with this stupid chord. There's also the 'B minor' chord but that's another story.

So if you're also struggling with this chord, well cheer up, with loads of practice we will get better. I personally prefer the old school F chord that he showed because it feels firmer, more solid I guess.

Are you happy?

After reading this article, I asked myself that question. I'm not happy. I guess the question that follows is why not? I have a dissatisfaction with the way my life has turned out. Don't get me wrong, I think all things considered I am very priviledged but things could be better. Whether its a test I should have done better or a situation I could have handled better or my badminton game that does not seem to be improving, these things get me frustrated and I'm not the kind of person that releases all that in one intense blast of anger. I rationalise, and try to understand why things are the way they are.

This post has been on draft for a while. I thought it was time to publish.

the good kind of quiet

The other day, I forgot what I was doing but it was rare moment. All applications were minimized, volume was on mute and it was quiet. There are some quiets that are eerie but this one was not like that, it was peaceful, it felt familiar. It was good. It would be cool to have that everyday.
