Yanni

I was introduced accidentally to Yanni via the Indianapolis zoo, for which I credit my parents as having the wisdom to think that a zoo was a good thing for a child to be exposed to.

One day, there was some thing going on the whale/dolphin pavilion and we had the good fortune to be there as it was starting.  While all the seating was occurring, some person figured that music was better than silence and had a Yanni CD playing.  I was a teen at this point, and could feel that there was something special about what this man had crafted.  From that point on, I hit the library, record stores, and whatnot else looking for things of his making. 

At no point along any way have I regretted seeking his stuff.

This odd accumulation of happenstance has led to much gratification in my life.  I am thankful to all those that contributed, be they my parents, the zoo as an entity, or the person that chose to run the music during the seating.

Love conquers all

Love means nothing

Annoying Bahamut ends badly
   (Final Fantasy series in general)

Annoying Alexander, especially if you're Bahamut, ends exceedingly badly
    (Final Fantasy 9.  Castle spirit summoned to itself being annoyed, ends badly for the aggressor.)

Wearing big flags on your back makes you look really cool
  (Master Blaster... one of those videos... hard to nail down)

Time compression is not noticed at the time, and possibly never.
