All day and all of the night
"A young man who is quite good at playing the guitar" - A reference to Jimi Hendrix.
I chuckled for quite some time after that sentence. It's in the movie "A boat that rocked". Also, I loved that movie. It is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. The music is all from the 60's and it's absolutely fantastic. Something like this:
That time just seems so much simple although it actually surely wasn't. Still - I admire the 60's for so much even though a lot also baffles me about the period. Like, in the movie, the up-tightness of a conservative British family, it just seems so unpleasant and makes me think of a rich British family as unproductive and unimaginative. I know it isn't so, but I still imagine them that way + nowadays they're a lot fatter so I add that to my vision of a typical British family. But that's not what I want to write about. I want to emphasize how much I would love if some (or more) things in the world were as they were in the 60's. The way men treated women for example - I always imagine that back then all men were gentlemen who knew how to really treat a woman. There are other things like the carefree attitude and the way people dressed and the lack of (or at least lesser amount of) peer pressure about clothing, behaviour etc. Those are the things I respect, the things that fill my heart with joy, the things that I aspire towards.
Now more about the music. The rock'n'roll tunes played during that time were, back then, considered pretty rebellious and that made them so much more exciting to the people of that time. Also, people danced more, and didn't seem to be that concerned with dance moves and what they looked like during dancing. They just enjoyed themselves. Unlike nowadays, where people, especially guys, are worried if they look silly or something. I'm not a dancer myself, mainly because of that, but I actually love moving around.
I think that love held a deeper meaning to people back then. Sometimes I don't think that, because nowadays love is mainstreamed through so many movies and other media that it probably is something important to people. But I still think that love was something different in the 60's. I can't really explain it, I'm sorry.
But I think that I've expressed enough opinions for tonight.
Enjoy the good in life.

Lacking
That track is awesome. Really gets the blood flowing y'know. My favorite part is at 3:24 when a crowd screams "Yeah!". It was actually put together of individual tracks that the band's fans sent them. And out came a crowd screaming "Yeah!".
I want to move to a big city. Preferably a city in the States because then I can speak a language I'm good at and also be in a country I've always wanted to be in. My dad just came back from a business (and some pleasure) trip there. He went to Boston and New York. He told me that I need to have a strong sense of identity and not let myself get overwhelmed by the sheer size of the city (NYC) to live there and that I am likely to feel lonely there even if I have friends. I somewhat disagree - I think that since I love spending time alone, I might do just fine there and since I don't have problems communicating with people I think I'd find friends, too. Actually, I think that a huge (even gigantic) city like New York would suit me pretty well. But I can't say for sure for I haven't lived in a place like that for a longer period of time. I'll just have to find out myself someday.
Ah crap, I had this really-really awesome picture of New York on my computer, but I seem to have lost it and I just can't find it on the internet either. It's sad because the picture was unlike any I've seen before. I'd like to have the chance to share it with you.
I wanted to post the picture because it shows one of my favorite things about New York - the brownstone apartment buildings. Or I guess some of them aren't apartment buildings but more like private homes. Something like this:
I'd like to live in a building like that once. They seem homey with them all being snuggled up next to each other and their brown walls and high front doors.
I could go on and on about the city, what I love about it and why I love those things I love. And that must be something, considering that I haven't actually been there. But I'm not going to make this post too long.
I just realized that the song in the beginning of this post doesn't suit at all with the rest of the post's content. Should have listened to that song whilst writing so there'd be some emotional connection, but now it's all wrong. Hope you still get the right feeling about New York when reading this post.
You all have a nice summer and make sure to take time off to spend with the people you love.
