Q:if I am capable of doing A LOT of things that I want…
then why do I
do
almost non them
day in and day out?
A:I am SIMPLY
not
in the habit of being effective.
I am simply
not trying.
this I bet is difficult for non-adhd people to understand correctly.
many of them would assume that if one is not doing something, it’s because one does not want it.
but life is far more complex than that.
long story short:let’s get the fuck going.

Jazz Is
Saw this today. Nice.
Jazz is the only music in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time. – Ornette Coleman
Jazz is the type of music that can absorb so many things and still be jazz. – Sonny Rollins
Jazz is there and gone. It happens. You have to be present for it. That simple. – Keith Jarrett
Jazz to me is a living music. – Dexter Gordon
Jazz today, as always in the past, is a matter of thoughtful creation, not mere unaided instinct. – Duke Ellington
Jazz was not only built in the minds of the great ones, but on the backs of the ordinary ones. – Cab Calloway
Jazz washes away the dust of everyday life. – Art Blakey
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains. – John Philip Sousa
Knowledge speaks but wisdom listens. – Jimi Hendrix
Let there be bass. – Leo Fender
Life is a lot like jazz, it’s best when you improvise. – George Gershwin
I never seem to even know HOW to
I never seem to even know HOW to pursue what I want…
especially when people attempt to inform me but “the way in which they
a. tell me
b. suggest that I go about it
are antithetical to “what “I” would do.
really gotta try again and do what “I” would do, and live with it.
only then shall I fail and succeed.
tail end of a conversation bout music.
tail end of a conversation bout music.
most things don’t “do it” for me… NO, wait, most things don’t do it for me IN THE WAY THAT I WANT at the moment, that is, in the way that SAID THINGS DO do it for me. I like proverbial cocaine. thatis, High Stimulation.
something fun once, is fun a million times too.
hence
African Music
and Minimalism.
And Brazilian Music.
and any (boorbaar) combination of these.
Lord of the Rings Music and motifs
I just realized that what I have ALWAYS THOUGHT was THE MORDOR MOTIF from lord of the rings, is almost all of the same notes as THE RING MOTIF from lord of the rings. !!!
different tempo, context, symbolism, intstruments…. different resolution….. different harmonic context…. SAME MELODY. DANG!
Hahahaha
how did I MISS that.
that IS like Wagner!
(said themes are both in the hobbit fims as well)
b C b CbAb……
slow… that’s it.
the RING motif, is, the same notes, fast, in strings, over f minor, moving to e minor, plus C B E….
OBVIOUSLY they would be related. man, that’s as cool as when it happens in wagner. wow.
p.s it’s actually B C B CB A-natural, not flat, in the “ring” motif.
Hey, dig my piece
Capitalism’s Downward Pressure to be mediocre
Still haven’t heard how the Ayn Rand camp defends the fact that capitalism has a downward pressure to produce as little as possible and sell it for the most.
these clowns have to admit at some point that this results in making garbage and presenting it as treasure, the very thing that they accuse socialists of, yes?
“enshrining mediocrity.”
isn’t that what capitalism and oligarchy are doing?
why else is pop music these days nothing but commercial GARBAGE?
ain’t apologizin, eat it. guess I’m old now.
no, I ain’t old, I’m educated and have good bloody taste. never liked most pop music. only reason I liked James Brown (and really, is that pop music? was it ever?) is cause I happen to dig the rhythms and the harmonies and the fact that they repeat a lot. it’s happenstance. if they weren’t as they are, I’d pass over James Brown, as I do a lotta funk that doesn’t have “certain” chords and “certain” rhythmic feels and “isn’t repetitive such that it pulls me in and I want more and more of it.”
still haven’t heard from the Ayn Rand Camp where they get off thinking that capitalism doesn’t unnecessarily (at this point in history) encourage
Willful STINGINESS. rather than actually thinking and actually caring and actually deciding WHAT CONSTITUTES a GOOD JOB at something, a thing WORTH doing.
not just DOING It, regardless of it’s meaning and place in the general scheme of things, if it has one at all.
SEE? I HAVE LEADERSHIP SKILLS!!! hahahaha (this is a joke, but it isn’t)
“James Brown is God.” no joke. not god, just awesome. hows that for a disclaimer.
unpaid gigs are better in ways that matter
… I don’t suppose “UNPAID GIGS” were always a lot cooler in all ways other than money, than PAID GIGS.
but it seems that the model these days is
-teach people to think that chicken-feed is in fact the greatest meal on earth
-pay the poorest people on the planet (children in 3rd world countries, it seems) as little as possible to make the thing, as cheaply as possible.
-sell the stuff for a shit ton of money to said “dumbed-down people who don’t know better”
-completely ignore anything cultural, historic, intellectual, feeling, human, ANYTHING other than this, reducing people who DO care about
anything other than money
pushing those of us who DO care
too desperation in the process.
man, corporations, if all you care about is money
that is a sad fuckin state of affairs man.
I want no part of your jive-ass garbage machine.
go to hell.
I stick with my unpaid but human and communal and enjoyable and life-affirming gigs.
One thing done, no more
I never seem (unless I like what I’m doing, which means it’s never “work” (unless the work is fun) ahem
I never seem to want to take more than one step at a time towards something (when I am “actually” taking steps, I mean.)
thiS THIS Would be the reason for my new found “keep my house tidy” thing, where I am um, not letting things become a mess….
it’s only because I know, from THOUSANDS of past experiences, that if there are two, three, ten, 100 pieces of “whatever” to organize, pick up, through out, that will be
one, two nine and ninety-nine too many, respectively.
if there are ever “more than one thing to do”, I simply won’t do the work.
as such, we keep it such that there can never be more than ONE piece of misplaced laundry, ONE this, one that, etc.
any more is too much for me of little concentration when there is no interest.
needless to say, when there is interest, I can go all night.
p.s.
MUSIC is a tag in this post because it would be an example of one thing that does not feel like work and IS done all night.
