ok yeah christmas is coming, and really guys we should just ignore all that's going on in our egroups.

that's my stand.

err anyway on a more sombre note, juxtaposing christmas carols with shostakovich is NOT a very good idea. it makes you feel very lonely and sad and whatnot. seriously.

in fact shostakovich alone does that. but putting the carols in heightens that feeling by a lot.

anyway.

you know, christmas (as in the gift-giving tradition) is a season of wishing and getting your dreams right?

yeah there's this wonderful story i read about (i know i'm most probably lagging behind, but well.) and heard, about this wonderful guy called paul potts.

he won the 1st season of Britain's "Got Talent" contest last year SINGING OPERA.

really, for someone like him who dreamt big, and was so passionate in achieving his dream (he spent £12k on vocal lessons!), he really deserved this victory.

his rendition of Nessun Dorma (None shall sleep tonight - an aria from Puccini's Turandot) isn't the best (of course Pavarotti gets the honours) but seriously, he has talent and the heart.

wow.
