surely I would be so intolerant of different opinions than mine, if I didn’t take everything personally…

hypocrite dish-ers unable to take it
I’ve known a couple people who
1. had a distinctive personality trait, usually something socially kinda not all that appropriate in the amount of it they had (I like such things.)
2. I would befriend them due to their extreme nature, so to speak, and
3. take up what they did as something I did. perhaps. (this goes back at least as far as 1998)
4. eventually, they would “criticize” ME for being too that way…. when the only reason I was bringing it out was due to their cue.
needless to say, regardless of what is true, (simple misunderstanding, people change, I was immature, or they were, whatever)
I’m gonna start the analysis of it with “they were (censored) losers.”
I thought they were cool until I revealed that there thing was just an act.
or whatever.
not important. the 90s, after all.
DMajor in F#Major. poppy music
in the last 45 seconds, I heard
1. a song, in F#Major, on the radio at starbucks.
2. noticed DM7 chords in it.
3. asked the bar what it is.
4. they said “Deep Sea Diver” by Always Waiting
5. am Buying it.
I have designs on making my own popular music, but with MY flavors and tastes and interests and stuff incorporated.
and yes, I like M7 chords borrowed from non-diatonic keys.
repetitive stress injuries and left hand cramps
on and off pain radiating down my left hand’s fingers, as well as higher up, (along them tendon thingys that connect to the fingers), and on the BUMP on the left side of the left wrists…. must be connected to somethin higher up the chain, in my left arm…
perhaps I be playin two sixteenths followed by an 8th rest TOO aggressively… or just have bad posture when I sit IN BED indian style at a laptop for HOURS….
feels a tad like a CRAMP,, and for years, my solution has usually been to BASH the back (not the front,) of said hand against a hard surface… for some reason, the pain of the impact of that “distracts” me from the pain of this (neither are all that noticeable…)
but, these things happen.
minor scales of various kinds, Wagner
dude gettaloadathis:
k, so I just fathomed
that
1. you can take a minor scale (natural minor, that is)
2. raise the 6th to make it Dorian
3. ALSO raise the 4th….
after which it will contain within it a fully diminished 7 chord, DIATONICALLY.
I THEN realized that this is in fact the 4th mode of Harmonic minor (a scale I once referred to as “snake-charmer-y.” (once, long ago.)
why?
because moments into Track one of Die Walkure by Wagner, PRECISELY this happens….
what was a descending “natural” minor scale, suddenly becomes THIS,
and POOF! it takes on a totally different, darker, vibrant, and tense harmony.
love diminishedness, I do.
D C Bb A G F E D becomes
D C B-nat a G# F E D…
ooooohhhhh yeah, a chilling exciting moment, harmonically, musically, lifely… THIS is what it’s all about, these feelings, I tell you!
this particular part happens at 3 minutes up till 3:30
paying for subscriptions is wrong
I think it is pretty wrong to charge for “subscriptions” to things. I ain’t payin for no such thing. not with something like music. or videos. it seems to me “entirely evil” to charge on an ongoing basis for “access” to something that you should be able to buy, own, and KEEP, once off, particularly if this has been the way it always HAS been. capitalism is not supposed to be regressive in this way.
I mean, is this how spotify works? (I honestly do not know yet.)
I thought it was wrong when cell phones did it. you should pay for what you use, no more.
the president is not responsible for gas prices
since Obama is not responsible for gas being cheap now,
he probably also wasn’t responsible for it becoming expensive either.
(you can argue that, whatever.)
yeah, I’m not totally sure of this, I just think it was wrong of republicans to criticize him for gas being expensive, if the same people aren’t gonna roll over and thank him right now when it is cheap again.
Rushing, Russians, and Clarinets oh my
is it known that I
1. played clarinet from grade 4 till 9
2. bought an Eb clarinet with 300 dollars, 250 of which
3. I won, first place, in a video game contest, playing the classic nes game
4. RUSH’N’ATTACK?
“Intense Intents In Tents”
“Intense Intents In Tents”
apparently that was a burningman camp name this year
