RIP Bill Evans

 I can't believe I almost missed this

09/15/2022

Bill Evans' death anniversary. He died today 42 years ago today because of untreated hepatitis. 

I raise a glass to you and your music.

I will now smoke a huge cigarette and drink scotch whiskey while listening to The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings as a tribute to you.

listen, listen, listen. you're right. why should i throw judgment for someone i'll never truly know? they're no me. i've not put on their socks. i've not bathed in her bathtub. i've not worn her clothes. i've not drank the water from her tap. i've not seen through her glasses. i've not used her earphones. i've not read her books. i've not watered her plants. i've not held her hand. i've not lived. we're lost. i'm lost for saying it myself! the way descartes says that he's an individual thought, how he's an isolated mind, how he thinks therefore he is, how he's a "pure individual" Cogito, ergo sum, Je pense, donc je suis, all of that nonsense. that doesn't exist, that's not true. he focuses on the thouht that people are points that are isolated from one another. that's not true. you are what is around you. everything you are, you have learned from others, and others learned that others also fro...

 3/11/23 The sky under me today had no clouds. Take it as you will, the way you think is up to you. You can think of it as it being clear like a proper mental state. You can think of it as it being empty like an teenage boy's soul. Your life to this point shapes how you see the world around you. I'm using the weekend to pick up where I left off from Murakami's Norwegian Wood, I love the way Murakami narrates events happening in the book when told from the first person.

 3/1/23 Good morning from Caloocan City. I'm writing my essay for english class and I am inspired to write my entries for today. My right hand hurts from writing too much with a pen, switching to my keyboard would be a nice way to relax. My writing heroes would laugh at what I'm doing, but I wish they'd cut me some slack, I am spoiled by my phone keyboard. Our adviser found our classmates showing public display of affection again. It's silly of course but I don't think I have the right to insult them for I would probably do the same thing. One of the thoughts I've gathered while she was talking was the feeling of my hand being held during school, ironic situation. The last time that happened when I was still in elementary, the funny thing is I still wasn't aware she had a crush on me I just thought it was a friendly gesture. Only now I realize how stupid I was but I don't think that matters now since that was more than 5 years ago.  I have this friend wh...
