What My World Sounds Like: Machine Dreams
August 11, 2009 | Filed Under What My World Sounds Like | 4 Comments
Music is my lifeblood. Since May of last year, the Swedish quartet Little Dragon has been in constant rotation. Their album could be found on two of my iPods and every computer I frequently used–all four of them. Wherever I was, they weren’t far. Well after a year, I still get excited about hearing their debut album.
Imagine the width of the smile plastered to my face as I listened to their latest release, Machine Dreams.
“The title Machine Dreams seems obvious. These days, humans seem more and more like machines, and as technology evolves, machines feel more human and it becomes fuzzy and beautiful and science fiction-ish. We feel dependent on our machines to create and live, and their sounds reflect us”. – Yukimi Nagano

- I’ve heard “you have not because you ask not.” Maybe we should append ”you have not because you don’t appreciate.”
- Trite yet forgotten wisdom: it’s not about what you say, but what you show. Actions really do speak louder than words.Â
- Everyone who is in your life has the option to be there or not. Respect their decision and appreciate it accordingly.Â
- “Life is a theater. Invite your audience carefully.” – DJ Krush
Are you an ingrate?

I had a conversation with myself the other day that went a little something like this:
“I would like to have this, that and the other. I would really appreciate that.”
“Would you?”
“Would I? Ye—no.”
Â
No. As it currently stands, my record is precisely not to appreciate so many aspects of my life. I’ll be very decisive about something I want, get it, and then complain about it or take it for granted. Either way, there’s not a lot of actual appreciation. True appreciation is more than an intellectual concept; it requires action. It means to value or regard highly; place a high estimate on.
How much in your life do you “appreciate” without truly appreciating? What can you do to express the importance of the things, people, and situations in your life, even if just to yourself?
