in a jazz mood...

Listening to: serge chaloff

...im completely wiped out! Having exams at uni, working.... making up for such long days!!!! well, life isnt easy always! , it is just a result of our choices...isnt it?

...when im feeling a bit stressed out i like to listen to some special music... having a bath and well, just relax doing nothing... and i love  jazz, it can be very relaxing... for me it is a nice way of reality desconexion... and i love saxophone!!!!!

...have you ever heard of Serge chaloff? he was arguably one of the greatest baritone saxophonist in jazz history, but unfortunately his lifelong drug adiction and untimely death prevented him from achieving his full potential as one of the saxophone most dominant figures. I love his style... it has a kind of swinging feel, grace and passion.

His life was a bit well, dont know how to say.. intense... and it makes me think how life can be weird and tragic! When Chaloff eventually overcame his addiction to drugs, he tragically contracted a spinal tumor shortly after kicking heroine, and was confined to a wheelchair for the last year of his life. He passed away in 1957 at the age of 33. As i told you... life can be beautiful as well as tragic...

so...is life a question of choices or is it question of destiny???

who knows where life will take us... do you?

    As for the other stuff - well, just accept. You can\'t change anything but yourself?
