tidak habis pikir,, uda dipikir gak habis-habis

"Rhoma Irama adalah ikon umat Islam. Kalau ada partai yang mengusung Rhoma, saya yakin suaranya akan naik. PKS, PAN, PKB, naik suaranya. Karena Rhoma banyak fansnya, dan mereka fanatik sama dia," lanjut Fachrurozy Ishaq, Ketua Umum DPP Wasiat Ulama, dalam deklarasi dukungan di rumahnya di Rawabunga, Jatinegara, Jakarta Timur, Kamis (8/11/2012).
"Artinya, ada suara-suara dari partai Islam yang sudah menyebut bahwa Rhoma memiliki akseptabilitas dan dapat dijadikan panutan," lanjutnya.

lah. emang jadi capres cuma buat menang??
emang karena banyak fans lantas dipilih untuk memimpin negara??
bekal capres cuma 'akseptabilitas dan dapat dijadikan panutan'?

ulama oh ulama,, mau dibawa kemana negara ini....

1st Experience - Live Concert

Konser adalah suatu penampilan langsung dari sebuah band/grup music/penyanyi.
3 November 2012 adalah tanggal bersejarah bagi saya, karena pada tanggal itulah pertama kalinya saya menjejakkan kaki di konser.
bukan hal yang wah tentunya. tapi bagi saya, pengalaman tadi cukup menyenangkan.
Konsernya disponsori oleh Guinness, dengan menampilkan band utama Creed. konser ini diadakan dalam rangkaian acara Guinness Arthur's Day.

 

konser ternyata cukup menyenangkan, salah satunya adalah bisa ikut nyanyi, berasa karaokean tapi gak peduli suara sampai atau tidak, bagus atau tidak. toh gak kedengeran juga, karena semuanya ikut nyanyi.
hanya saja mungkin memang begini derita orang yang tingginya kurang dari 145 cm. gak keliatan. memang sudah disediakan layar di kiri dan kanan panggung, namun apalah artinya datang ke konser kalau gak berhasil ngeliat si pemain musiknya secara langsung.
sempat gregetan dan sedikit gak ikhlas, waktu saya gak bisa ngeliat apa-apa di panggung. ketutupan orang. kalau jinjit-jinjit sedikit sih kadang-kadang masih bisa keliatan. penuh usaha dan doa tentunya.
perjuangan itu sudah cukup susah, tanpa harus ada faktor lain yang menyebabkan saya gak ngeliat apa-apa. faktor-faktor lain itu adalah handycam dan kamera - apapun bentuknya. kamera hape, kamera digital, kamera biasa, maupun ipad dan keluarganya yang digunakan untuk mengabadikan momen tersebut.
saya memang tidak berhak marah, toh dari pihak penyelenggara konser pun tidak melarang penonton untuk mengabadikan konser yang sedang berlangsung, tidak seperti di bioskop.
mungkin karena konsepnya pembajakan live performance saat konser memang bukan pembajakan. toh yang datang sudah bayar semua, dan tentunya situasi dan kondisi konser tersebut tidak akan terulang sampai kapanpun. rangkaian konser pun tentunya akan berbeda-beda alur ceritanya.
malah, jika konser tersebut beredar, tentunya pihak penyelenggara akan diuntungkan, karena penonton konser bajakan tersebut bisa jadi tertarik dan finally datang ke acara konser selanjutnya.
jadi memang tidak ada alasan untuk marah.
namun ya tetap saja, saya sedikit gak ikhlas, terutama kalau sudah dapat spot yang bagus, bisa ngeliat bandnya disela-sela pundak orang lain, tapi ternyata terhalang kamera.
sangat sepakat dengan WikiHow on How to Have Good Concert Manners, 
"Use your cellphone/camera sparingly. Taking pictures with your cellphone is distracting; not to mention it blocks the view for the people behind you. Those who spend the entire show recording the gig on their cameras or phone are not living in the moment. Though you might want to capture an amazing shot, you'll most likely miss out on something better by being distracted with your camera or phone."

*ngangguk-ngangguk

hm. intinya sih.. saya gak kapok nonton konser. tapi semoga saja next time bisa dapat spot yang lebih menyenangkan, yang gak kehalang orang lain ataupun kamera. *ngarep tambah tinggi udah gak mungkin sepertinya.
kata WikiHow, A good concert spot is earned.

so... kapan ya Asian Kungfu Generation bikin konser di Jakarta..>_<

Kino No Tabi #5

humans mustn't always have it easy. if humans go through life everyday without hardships, they'll slack off and become lazy. we need something in life to keep us from becoming lazy, and that's work!

Kino : i have something to ask you, if you don't mind?
A      : what is it?
Kino : did you remove the grass and polish this rail all by yourself?
A      : yeah, it's my job.
Kino : it's your.. job?
A      : yeah, that's right. i've been doing this for a long time now.
Kino : exactly how long is that?
A      : about fifty years.
Hermes : fifty years?
A      : i don't know exactly how long, but it's probably been about that long, since i only counted the winters. i joined the rail company when i was eighteen. back then they said there was a track that wasn't being used, but that it might eventually be put to use again, so i was to polish it the best i could. they haven't told me to stop yet, so i just keep working.
Kino : you haven't been back to your home country since then?
A      : no, i already have a wife and child when i originally left home. i had to support them in any way i could. i wonder how they're doing now? they should be getting my paychecks, and i think they are living well on them.
Kino : how much longer do you plan on continuing this work?
A      : until someone from the company tells me to stop. either that, or until this railroad ends.

....
Hermes: it's much easier to run on now. thanks to that old man we met yesterday.
....

Kino  : Eh? hoah,, there's no more railroad.
B       : that's right. i removed it.
Kino  : why are you removing the tracks?
B       : it's my job. i've been doing this by myself for a long time.
Kino  : by 'a long time', exactly how long do you mean?
B        : well, i think it's been about fifty years. i'm not exactly sure. i joined the railroad company when i was sixteen years old. they didn't need this track, since it wasn't being used, so i was ordered to tear it down. i was very excited about it because it was my first job. and they have yet to tell me to stop.
Hermes: you haven't been back to your home country?
B       : yeah, i've got five younger brothers, you see. i'm working to keep them fed, so i can't take any time off.
Kino : excuse me, these tracks are awfully clean for not having been used for years, aren't they?
B      : yeah, it's been like this the whole way. strange, isn't it? but it's nice, because it really makes them easier to remove.

...
hermes: it's hard to run here.
...

Kino  : eh? aaah.. there's more tracks!
C       : hey, traveller! yeah, i did all this.
Kino : is this your job?
C       : that's right. of course, i've been doing this forever.
Kino  : how long do you mean by "forever"?
C       : well, it's going on fifty years now, i suppose. i was fifteen when i joined the rail company. they said they had an old track that they might start using again, so they told me to come out and repair it. i haven't heard orders to stop yet, so...
Hermes: are you doing this all by yourself??
C       : oh, it's really no big deal once you get used to it. i've got all the materials i need right here, so...
Kino : you don't seem to have returned to your country.
C       : well, my mother become ill and couldn't work, so i had to suport the family.
