Melody's Musings

Stuff that catches my fancy and random, sorted thoughts from the inner scrambles of my mind.

What you may expect to find here are what I consider good taste and some of the best in photography, philosophy, humor, art, architecture, food, music, poetry, literature and dance. I hope you like some of the things I enjoy.

I like anything to do with good design such as interior design, architecture, photography, and art. I enjoy philosophy and psychology. I love to figure out what makes individuals tick. Music of most all types but particularly classical, world, pop, acoustic guitar is a big part of my life and add some dance to the music and my day is great! I like to write and occasionally I will write poetry and I really love to read it out loud and I even record it sometimes.

I'm a Myers-Briggs type ENFJ which means I love people and have a great interest in them.

I guess you could say I'm a humanities kind of person. :)

    This dance routine would put many humans to shame!   It’s a long one too!   Do you think dogs can “think”? 

    Dancing dog doing a salsa (or is that the merengue?) Either way… he’s an unbelievably talented pooch! You’d almost think it was a little kid dressed in a dog suit!

    Csokonai Theater in Debreczen, Debrecen, Hungary
The 140-year-old Csokonai Színház in Debrecen has had four departments – as prose, opera, dance and orchestra. As such, in its traditions and the ongoing theatrical work, it has been closely connected to the Hungarian peasant-civic mentality which is proud of its independent frame of thinking, thanks to its relative economic wealth. It marks also a certain conservatism in taste, but at the same time an ability of renewal by exploring the sources of its heritage.The first important playwright of the Modern Age, Csokonai Vitéz Mihály (1773–1805), after whom the theatre is named was not only born here, but he lived and wrote his works in this city. At the turn of the 18th–19th century he experienced in a highly dramatic way the social and stylistic changes; and for him, as well as for the artists of today, the future of theatre was not and is not just a mere aesthetic question. The most burning question in the uniting Europe is, whether the national being and taking responsibility for national culture can be harmonized with modernity. We are convinced that the ideals set forth in Hungary in the music of Bartók and Kodály are valid in theatre as well.
