I Don't Play Da' Horn To Good No More...

This post will hit home to almost any music major, people that were smart and switched majors, future music majors, or people that think they know what it's like to be a music major. Any one that has talked to me in the last week knows that I feel like crap. I would say the other word, but I try to keep this blog on the clean side. I have this cold thingy that won't go away. I had a 101.1 degree temp. on Monday. The fever has now subsided, but now I just have the head cold from hell. Watery eyes, and a stuffy nose that won't stop running. In general I feel like horse poo. So i rescheduled my lesson from Tuesday to today thinking that I would feel better. I do, but I don't. I just got back from my lesson and I sounded like crap. Pure and utter crap. If you were to put me and a 6th grader from Springboro Jr. High next to each other and blindfolded yourself, you wouldn't be able to tell us apart. It really was that bad. I know people think "so what you had a bad lesson, move on." The problem is that you can't. Whenever you have a bad lesson for some reason it makes the rest of your day really really crappy.

Even if there is a football game tonight and I really want BG to kick Miami's butt, I don't care. Right now it seems as dark and dreary as it really is outside. Keep in mind that these words are coming from a person that is most of the time almost too optimistic. I have so much crap to do.

One thing that helps a person get over being sick is rest and relaxation. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! YEAH RIGHT! Me rest? hehe, never. I can't there's no time to. There needs to be another 12 hours in the day, then I might get the "healthy" 8 hours of sleep a night. right now 4-5 a night seems ok to me.

Friday's almost here, I turn 21 on Saturday! Am I excited? No. Why? Because i have work to do that's not the result of procrastination. I have let down the members of the Procrastinators Society of America and done as much work as I could in advance. Am I gonna go out and party on Saturday Dec. 6, 2003 for my 21st birthday? Nope. I might leave to go buy some alcohol, but it will all be consumed here infront of my computer as I type away at my music history notes. Happy 21st to me! Here Bach, wish me happy 21 even though you've been dead for 253 years. Hey Handel, cheers! Bottoms up bud! How's it going? You've been dead for 244 years!

I just need to go back to Springboro and relax and sleep for 12 hours a night. There are people there that care about me, not how well i play da' horn and not how well i understand that a German augmented six chord can function as a five chord and how a seven diminshed six chord can be major in a minor key and then resolve to one in a different key. All that being said I miss my dogs (yes, i know that was plural) and i need chocolate (i never crave chocolate), a warm bubble bath, some hot chocolate, my back popped, and good back rub, and a good book by the fire. That might make things better, i dunno, all that just sounds good right now. I'm gonna start working on more history notes instead of relaxing and trying to get better. Here at BG school work comes before health...
