ART or PRECISE SCIENCE

Have you ever had this: WOW!-GOOGLE-HAS-GOTTEN-SO-INTELLIGENT-feeling!*

(*"google" in sense of searching for anything online, sometimes involving even youtube, wikipedia or other search tool, but always refer to it as "googling"...or at least I call it so)

Well, it has, hasn't it.

I mean- can you think of anything possible that you couldn't "youtube" or "google" or look up in wikipedia?!?!?!Ha? Can you?

I CAN'T!

Ok, how about this: months ago, back in Japan, my flatmmate had this melody stuck in her head. Underline MELODY. It wasn't even a song. It was just a

Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Laah-laah-lah-lah

So,

All day long she sang that thing. At the end I was singing with her, cause I knew the melody, but we both couldn't remember where did we know that from. No lyrics or anything...Just:

Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Laah-laah-lah-lah

Finally, she went on googling it. (she was like 5 years younger than me, my generation or someone a bit older wouldn't be so genius...) but she typed in:


Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Laah-laah-lah-lah

AND SHE FOUND IT. SHE F... DID! SHE GOOGLED THE SONG.


You wouldn't probably ever think of it if we wrote it to you as a note or sang it to you...and asked you for the name or the singer

BUT GOOGLE DID! It was exactly this one:



And then you can youtube it and watch it and learn the lyrics and go to wikipedia and learn everything about the singer...

Subsequently we made a video about that specific day in Japan..and we laughed a lot...and we went to karaoke sang nothing else but:

Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Laah-laah-lah-lah

and everybody thought we were terrible but we got the best applause...And then I went to Paris and sang that song at a dinner party and my friend who had to hear that terrible

Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

went playing soccer on Saturday and apparently started singing

Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh when running after the ball (this is what guys do, right, I mean when they play football and think of girls)

And this is how we DO.

And this is how, when already back in Hamburg, my friend and I learned to make maki rolls and this is how we made pina colada...and this is how I watch tutorials about...anything you could possibly imagine starting from "how to create a password protected file", going through "how to make a maki roll" and wrapping up by "how to make a hotel bed"(cause hotels bed are always so perfectly made...)

WHO NEEDS EDUCATION?!?!? Who needs books??? Who needs anything at all?!? It is all there...uuhhhhm I don't even know where it all comes from, some kind of new-age-common-sense...or new age ...

Ok, after this post I completely lost all my subscribers...It officially sucked...But it's august, everybody is on vacations..and it's 2am...on a Sunday...nobody reads stuff...

Besides, it was worth sharing! So now you know- if you ever wanna make a maki roll or google Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah Lah-lah-lah-lah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh...it works!

Concerning the title-apparently it's neither ART nor SCIENCE...the AGE WE LIVE IN..

It's...Silicon valley dot com
