Vassar brought back my good old theme for the homepage.

I haven’t write anything interesting lately. Not that I don’t have anything interesting to say, but my interest has been shifted. I did write a few posts, but somehow they always revolve around my soon-to-be wife. Lately I have been playing with too many little kids that by the time they go home, I get mad tired. You know you’re old when kids have more energy than you. My future wife also loves kids and I told her I want four, but her friend who has two kids told her that the number automatically decrease after the first one. Will see about that. See I am talking about her again. It may sound mundane, but we have been happy together. Or she simple knows how to make me happy. I do appreciate it. (Damn! It takes me an hour just to express my happiness and this is the best that I could do.)

Big Boi brings it back to the old school.

A true jazz genius is not how he can play by himself, but how he can play with others. Although Oscar Peterson had the capability to play intimate solo, he could also accompany other musicians. Some of his memorable collaborators included vocalist Louis Armstrong, saxophonist Ben Webster, violinist French Stephane Grapelli and Israeli-American violinist Itzhak Perlman. Check out Peterson and Perlman’s rendition of “Dark Eyes.” Spottieottiedopaliscious!

Dig the crisp and clean look. Nice job folks!

Barack Obama delivered an inspiring speech on race. He had cleverly balanced out his criticisms on both black and white, and then challenged America to solve our problems together and to work toward “A More Perfect Union.” He believed, “This union may never be perfect, but generation after generation has shown that it can always be perfected.” Obama also untangled himself out of the controversial statement made by Reverend Jeremiah Wright in his skillful remark:

The profound mistake of Reverend Wright’s sermons is not that he spoke about racism in our society. It’s that he spoke as if our society was static; as if no progress has been made; as if this country—a country that has made it possible for one of his own members to run for the highest office in the land and build a coalition of white and black; Latino and Asian, rich and poor, young and old—is still irrevocably bound to a tragic past.  But what we know—what we have seen—is that America can change. That is true genius of this nation.  What we have already achieved gives us hope—the audacity to hope—for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

If Obama could indeed hold truth to his powerful words, there’s no reason for me not to root for him.
