I feel cultured. Last night I went to Philip Glass’ 75th Birthday Celebration debuting his Symphony No.9 at Carnegie Hall with CJ. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a classical music concert. I mean Cannon in D is probably my favorite song ever I think it is so incredibly beautiful. This was lovely though! And Philip Glass was there. I was amazed that the conductor knows every instrument and when they start and stop and amazed that the musicians understand what he’s doing with his hand. Pretty cool. I also though about my tone deafness and what this must sound like to Philip Glass and the conductor and all the musicians. They must be able to hear so many details from each instrument. Next up at Carnegie Hall is Jay Z! woowoo. It’ll be interesting to see how they convert Carnegie Hall into a rap venue.
In other sadder news, a friend from high school (lost touch with her after HS) passed away in her sleep two nights ago. They don’t know what happened yet but it’s so tragic. 26 years old married with two kids and just doesn’t wake up. Anytime I hear of something tragic happening I ALWAYS have the same thought. What are you waiting for? Live today really like there is no tomorrow. If you knew today was your last day what would you do? What would you want to say? How do you want to express yourself? Tell people you love them. I guess there is no reason to hold back in life. Easier said.
