Maybe I'm a dreamer..

As my first blog rapidly becomes a bordem bung for my dismal excuse for a life, I would like to point out that I am definitely doing this for the simple reason that everyone else seems to be. I'd love to think that I did not submit to the ruthless expectations of 21st century society, but, as a dedicated Gen Y personnel, I most certainly do. And this particular expectation looked very appealing indeed, all i need to do is talk about myself and hope other people don't think i'm a self-absorbed looney-tune, right?

So what is this blog about?
Please, carefully observe the name.

The word ostentatious, as I discovered in Extension English this year, means to attract notice. What could express my intent of this blog more accurately? As a self-confessed attention seeker, the word 'Ostentatious' seemed a perfect adjective to assist the 'deliberating' nature of my blog.

My life is merely a series of obsessions.

Amos Lee - Live at Abbey Road

Amos Lee stole my heart in roughly 20 seconds. Upon hearing the song "Sweet Pea" on his album Supply and Demand, I experienced a feeling that shouldn't be discussed on the internet. Norah Jones' bass player produced Amos' first album in 2005, with Norah playing keys and even contributing vocals. Just in case you can't quite grasp this concept, that is equivalent to Meryl Strep agreeing to play alongside you in your HSC Drama film, or the Queen of England producing perfect GHD curls in your hair for your date with George Glass. Norah Jones playing keys on your first ever album is an unexplainable honour for anyone, let alone an "unknown". With somewhat of a Ben Harper/Neil Diamond crossover, Amos Lee definitely has something I have never heard in anyone else. Do yourself a favour and look him up - if you regret it, you can have my first born child.
