hey: you do not believe in the constitution if you believe that it only applies to straight white christian males.
(I have heard a few politicians “openly” express as much(that it only applies to them and others like them, instead of to everyone) lately, and that just ain’t at all cool.)
yes, of course, yes yes,
Self-Love must be without qualification.

I’m Wonderful.
Just because.
sometimes there are indeed very few people who are really in tune with you, very few indeed.
but I’ve got a surprising amount, and even one would be better than none:)
wonder what percentage of people who know how to play in what is effectively THE DORIAN MODE (any time you are in minor, but using Major 6ths and still minor 7ths (and major 2nds, etc)
wonder what percentage of such people who know how to PLAY It realize that
THE FOUR CHORDS (the IV chords are MAJOR in it, and this is one of the distinctivenesses (nice word) it has.
and one of the awesomnesses. (nicer word, and apparently not one, also.)
ok… I was a kid in the 80s.
I have never been big on 80s music (or anything since)
and yet… I am somehow not only LISTENING to on REPEAT, but
GOING AROUND SINGING
THE SPACEBALLS SONG, sung by THE SPINNERS!
WE’re THE MASTERS of SPACE-
“don’t mess arROUND, with the SPace-Balls.”
WATCH OUT!
(nifty 80’s synth horn riffs) ooh yeah
often when have wanted to do something, instead of just doing it, I have delayed it (forever) by asking others how THEY think it should be done, then getting super upset because their answer is at odds with my own instincts.
in the end, it is best if I follow MY instincts, not others. even if I’m wrong, often.
otherwise, who’s life am I leading, eh?
Therapy is cool. It helps to teach me such things.
Note to Self, 2 10 2015
going through with things and getting them over with, instead of fretting about them “so incredibly long that they NEVER come to pass at all, for decades,” seems like it’s almost ALWAYS the better idea.
I mean, if you’re gonna wait THAT long, so long that it becomes forever…
(hey, I know, this is what I’ve spent much of my life doing, putting things off in fear due to perfectionis…)
just do it indeed.
Things might be looking more positive and more optimistic for me.
I’m suddenly wanting to put out an album of James Tenney (and some other) music.
and some older percussion ensemble music as well (my own, primitive as it is compared to today, but no matter.)

I love Parenthetical Phrases, I do, but alas, this might not be one, chuckle.
I also love Excesses of Adjectives.
I ALSO seem to like Capitalizing the First letters of Words that I want Emphasized in their proNunciAtion…. sorta like the CalArts icon…. C and A… yes yes.
(I’m aware that that last one isn’t at all ok, grammatically. But this isn’t grammar; it’s art. and style.)
