So, I do a lot of thinking. A lot. More than the usual person probably. And I come up with interesting things. These things I sometimes make a note to post it somewhere so I don’t forget it. I never do it. I must have thousands of random thoughts cluttering up the back of my mind. Anyways, I’m actually posting some of the ones bouncing around in my head lately. I’m surprised too.
#1. My room’s so empty compared to others, it’s like… bare, there’s bare wall everywhere, not like others… the pictures on the wall and stuff are all from when I was 5 or less. Looks like I need to do some major room redecoration.
#2 I was tracing a chain of events from one of my friends finding me a composer (trying to impress me with his music finding skillz), me finding some of his songs, me getting a book, me picking a favorite, me choosing to play it for a recital, thus memorizing it. Me being able to play it with my eyes close, me playing it at NHS. Some other guy (who’s kinda friends with the first guy) hearing me, him getting my sheet music, him learning it and him putting it up on his myspace. It’s a weird chain, because that song’s been such a big part of my life somehow if you think of it… and if the first guy hadn’t gone looking for a composer for me that day, the 2nd guy would have a different song on his myspace. Everything’s interrelated.
#3 Me reading music is like reading a book, I can read music almost as fast. And, with reading a while, you get general concepts of what words mean without actually knowing the definition, using context clues. While at piano lessons tonight I realized that I, in fact, had done this with music, I had a general concept of how to play a allargando without really knowing what it meant or what it was. It was… interesting.
