ADHD is awesome, mostly.

missed chances for high-grade high stimulation

1.  (omitted cause it’s a long story)
2. not taking the chance to do something that’s High Stimulation, because you are too dehydrated/exhausted/hungry.

really mars what should be a  wonderful time and memory.

hate missed opportunities.

but here’s the challenge in “just moving on.”

they aren’t all equal.

not in any sense.

the next chance to feel THAT good THAT way won’t be for a year, if that, if ever.

moving on to the next thing won’t feel anywhere near as good as that.

really rare super fun things.

never miss them.
ever.

one reason why “I do not do certain things”-

…there are so very many things I do not do.
but perhaps it is not because I feel unworthy, or lacking in know-how, but because I simply do not want them.

 

part of a series on what I currently call

“The Four Challenges” (this dealing with Challenge #1 (which is third in order, more on that later.)finger-1299243_1280

too business-like

Not everything is supposed to be run like a business.
frankly, I think that applies to most businesses as well.

really,

Care about more than just making money.  please.

 

and by god, don’t define yourself in terms of how much money you make, your relationship to others, within a business, elsewhere, or to  a business.

 

you are an individual.  be a good one.  have  a heart.  dollar-163473_1280

no airs of no normalcy round ‘ea

it’s interesting, being an individual who

1. didn’t really understand a lot of normalcy as a child.
2. still doesn’t.
3. wouldn’t and doesn’t choose said normalcy when given the choice.
4. didn’t and doesn’t feel the system was designed with him in mind.
5. doesn’t feel obligated in any way to present, TO ANYONE, ANY kind of AIR or APPEARANCE OF NORMALCY.

Wo, didn’t realize I was kinda a drill-sergeant

wo… weird…
thought I just had:

when it comes to MY teaching, I just thought almost instantly of many examples where, when “I” teach, the following notion is true:

“It’s not my job to make you feel good.
It Is my job to make you do what you DO good (being play music in my case.)”

(you can argue that there is nothing too wrong about making students feel good, indeed.)   just saying.

some music theory of the rhythmic variety

somehow tonight while playing music with some friends I managed to find myself playing

7 notes to the dotted quarter note, in 5/4.
meaning, when the guy playing in 5/4 (it was actually 5/16 (4 bars) against quarter notes (five of them of course)
meaning I played 14 notes every three quarter notes, so

YEAH, when the guy playing in 5/4 had played 3 bars, 15 quarter notes, 60 16th notes…
I had played 70 notes in the same space.

SIX AGAINST SEVEN, i.e, 3 against 3 and a half
WTF

fuck yeah

don’t this, don’t that, DO THIS

don’t be cynical.
don’t be realistic, god no.
Be Awesome, just Be Awesome.

find a way, don’t let norms and practicality get you down.
the hell with it.
fucking find a way.

don’t be cycnical, be awesome instead.  you don’t owe cynics nothin’.  you owe awesome things attempts to be awesome.  you owe yourself this.

Just Be Awesome.
