Again, I'm posting after nearly a month. Wonder if there's some internal clock ticking somewhere within the structure of my life which triggers blog-worthy stuff at a regular time interval. :D
Before I come to the real intention of the post however, let me just mention that I'm completely high on Joe Satriani's latest album
"Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock".
Trust Satch to come up with a name like that, which is cool, wicked, funny and mysterious, all at once! And don't even get me started on the music! Not only is the tonality which he gets from those custom Ibanez guitars mouthwatering, but his incredible chops on the Axe leave others in the dust and reaffirm what has been known for long. Satch is the guitar.
Satch has recently also come out with a new distortion pedal. Check it out!
Now I surely don't promote piracy, but I couldn't find the album in stores in Pune, so I downloaded it. Hehe..
But PLEASE, go out and buy the album when you can if you like it. I am gonna!!
Now to turn toward the monthly-trigger of the internal clock, I read a poem this morning and its so inspirational, that I simply can't resist putting it up for anyone who cares to read it.
Equipment
Figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You’ve all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes,
And a brain to use if you would be wise.
With this equipment they all began
So start for the top and say “I can.”
Look them over, the wise and great,
They take their food from a common plate.
And similar knives and forks they use,
With similar laces they tie their shoes,
The world considers them brave and smart,
But you’ve all they had when they made their start.
You can triumph and come to skill,
You can be great if you only will,
You’re well equipped for what fight you choose,
You have arms and legs and a brain to use,
And the man who has risen, great deeds to do,
Began his life with no more than you.
You are the handicap you must face,
You are the one who must choose your place,
You must say where you want to go.
How much you will study the truth to know,
God had equipped you for life, but He
Lets you decide what you want to be.
Courage must come from the soul within,
The man must furnish the will to win.
So figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You were born with all that the great have had,
With your equipment they all began.
Get hold of yourself and say “I can.”

May you derive the inspiration that pushes you to reach the next level in your life.
I know I've found mine.
Luv-n-luck,
Av
