Tore apart a picture that I shouldn't have kept that long. But today there was no other choice. Which was a good thing actually.
The past is gone. It makes no sense to hang on to /live on a memory.
To live for the moment is something I should practice doing more often and by parting from this picture I did just that.
Also I got Nightwish's new album today. I'm listening to it with my headphones as I type this.
Lots of stuff to digest there - but that's also a sign of quality in music.
From listening for the first time I can tell that the music is beautifully crafted as always. Every song is a wonderfully pieced together artwork with amazing lyrical and musical depth.
Listening to Alpenglow right now. Epic.
What's obvious is that Tuomas Holopainen is a GENIUS. He is one of the greatest composers of this day and age, regardless of genres. Period.

Seize the day.
I like to use this sentence. To me it means to live your life, use it and enjoy it as much as you can.
There are days when these words get a deeper meaning. Today I learned that a colleague of my girlfriend passed away. He was only 30 years old and wanted to build a new home with his wife. While doing so he was hit by a machine and died.
What a tragedy.
I only spoke to him briefly, but I was shocked and deeply saddened.
I always knew life is really short and sometimes shorter than it would be fair.
So although I'd say I'm a lover of life sometimes I think I should appreciate it more.
I'll go tell the ones I love that I do so now....

It's been a long time...
It's been long since I wrote here last. When I first started this Blog I thought I'd be able to write on a more constant basis but as always, life may have other plans for you.
Anyway - a lot of stuff happened since 2012. It's getting harder to find the time to really sit down, listen to some wonderful music and just escape from the real. But it happens from time to time and I guess these moments are some of the reasons I love this life.
Although it's rather stressful at the moment and everything is still in motion (new job, new appartment, etc.) I think I'm happy right now. Life always feels like a journey but it does feel like that really intensly right now.
My main goal at the moment is just arriving everywhere I started something new and rise to the challenges these things bring with them.
Very helpful (as always) is Nightwish's music. On their new single Elan (which I like) is a song called "Sagan". The music reflects my feelings a lot...

Hope to write again a little sooner the next time.

Escapism
The first post is always the most difficult one, right? Well, I'll try and do my best anyway ;)
In this blog I'll write about things that help me to escape from the general life. I do this a lot, maybe even too much but hey - nobody's perfect, right? It's my way of feeling comfortable in a world that can be very stress- and hurtful. And it's a way to stay a child somehow your whole life long. Some people tend to get too serious when growing up, which is a shame in my opinion.
Honestly this blog was inspired by Tuomas Holopainen, a person who really I admire. I was watching a documentary about his life and he said at one point that if there's one word that could describe him as a person it would be "escapist". What he said and how he explained his views on life made me realize that what I do a lot in my life is nothing else than some sort of escapism. In this way we seem to be quite similar.
I'll try to write some more about this issue in later posts.
My main way of escaping the real is definitely music. There are songs for different memories - good ones and bad ones. The power of music is undeniable and I owe awfully much to it. Music's a great gift of life to me.
Some unbelievably beautiful music comes from the soundtrack of the movie "The Village" and by the way the plot of the movie is a perfext example for escapism. TH calls it one of the best soundtracks ever made and I think he's right. It hast an amazing depth. But just listen for yourself ....
