My Virtuoso Dream Team

Reading about the Virtuoso Team gave me the picture of a room full of over-smoking artists and hard core nerds. If they had one thing in common it's that they are the best in something one war or the other. I bow down to people who have the most original ideas that I could never think of. I have 3 guys in mind when it comes to Virtuoso team level of passion and creativity. They are not big names (some) but to me they are the most impressive.

I am a drooling fan of:



I recently saw The Social Network (which I otherwise call The Facebook Movie). I have always had a fascination with geeks and nerds and how they can be so weird. Back in college, I was sorrounded by them in different forms, shapes, and lines of expertise. To say it quite bluntly, I have discovered that they are not all that great. There are only a select few who really live up to their names. So this facebook guy Mark Zuckerberg, he fit into the mold. Just take a look at his picture above. He looks like an idiot. But he is my creative god. When he was building facebook he zoned out and practically became dead to the world for days. When Yahoo offered to buy facebook for $1 billion he walked away. Creative integrity at its best. Passion is never for sale. He is the Yoda of all creative genius freaks. To top it all, He is only 26 (I am 25) and he is the youngest billionaire ever. I wonder if he is into asian girls...





James Blunt is not that popular to everyone even though he is an international singer. He is a bit weird - for me at least. He used to be in the army. But he shifted to being a singer. And thank God he has. He doesn't have the retail package but he has raw natural talent. More than his singing, I am particularly crazy about his writing. He writes from his heart to my heart (because I can only attest for myself). His writings are so raw at times that listening to him is like talking to myself. I've always believed that passion is contagious. He has rubbed off on me. I listen to him when I'm writing, when I'm sad, when I'm studying and particularly when I'm writing a WAC. He sets my mood.

One of the brightest stars - one of my favorites James Blunt songs.



One day your story will be told.
One of the lucky ones who's made his name.
One day they'll make you glorious,
Beneath the lights of your deserved fame.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
One day they'll tell you that you've changed,
Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare.
One day you'll hope to make the grave,
Before the papers choose to send you there.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Nobody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars






Ryan Tedder is the lead singer of the band One Republic. He is my 2nd Yoda in writing. He doesn't just write for his band he also writes for female singers like Beyonce. I still can't believe he wrote Halo. That song is so girly! What can I say, the guy is flexible. Besides that he has an awesome voice. This song I will post is my favorite song which he wrote. It comforts me whenever I'm feeling bad. It feels like my heart comforting me.

"Say (All I Need)"

ou hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it (Better than you had it)

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Whenever the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say it
