Some people

Some people. Crazy how people are entering my life with such different impacts on me. Some positive, some negative, some neutral.

There are some people in this world that make me happy to wake up. Some people who inspire me to create, inspire me to be active.

There are some people who invoke a certain something in me that allows me to sit back and appreciate the world. Some people who allow me to sit here, in my cluttered apartment, and enjoy every moment of it.

There are some people who make me giggle and smile uncontrollable just by and email, or a message.

Some people inspire me to be a better person, to help those in need, to teach, to guide.

There is something in those people that are just so attractive. They are the silver lining.

Now this post speaks to you. Be an inspiration. Be someone's beacon. Be someone's reason to smile in the morning.

I may not be perfect. I may not have all the answers. I know that there are somethings that I dream of that are unachievable. somethings that i can only experience in my dreams.

This blog may not be read by anyone. That's ok. let this area be a place for me to speak to the abyss, to space.



this week will be crazy and so on.

I don't want to say it will be stressful, that's not the colour I'm going for. I'd say that these next few weeks will be full of energy. Full of movement.

I am understanding school. I am loving school.

I don't know what I want to do in life, all I know is I'm happy with the people in my life, and I'm happy with the world I'm living in.

And

the saddest part of it all

i will never meet my idols.

i will never meet burnie burns, chase whiteside, claude deubssy

this really sucks

i know it's late and i have harmony in the morn and that masters class i need to practice for. everything is getting so stressful! blarg!

some things in my life just send is suspended disbelief, some things need to be resolved if only for a second.

today i composed and it sounded just like chopin

maybe my lack of luck is just a sign i have yet to figure out

night world.

literally

one of the best days of my life filled with friends, jamming, practicing, sight reading, learning

ps i got a clarinet!

Chomedey Chronicles II

The livin' is easy. Kind of.

So much busyness and chaos in my life and I feel I'm being totally counterproductive by not using this time to do some sort of homework related thing. Also something nearby smells like baby powder and I don't mind

So, today was crazy and the next little while will be crazy. I imagined that after my midterms last week, it'd be clear sailing for lil' old me, but alas this is not the case. Where to begin?

I've been feeling so productive recently, sadly I'm not focus my energy where it needs to be... Well just for composition. I'm already late for one composition and if I don't pull up my socks it'll escalate to two. Wah

Listening to this playlist is making me think of musicals and 2 summers past. God life was so amazing and I was so foolish to think otherwise. Maybe the same can be applied to my current state? We'll see

My life recently has been music music music. So much music. So many people to jam with, so many pieces to play, so many people to play with.

So lessons are good and all that jazz. This Thursday I have a Masters Class. Fancy, right? I'm only in a first year! What is being demanded of me is great, yet very very demanding. I'm working my buns off to try and get my Rondo and etude up to performance level. Today alone I clocked about 4 - 5 hours on the piano at school, alternating between some uprights and some grands. I, luckily, am now able to book classrooms to practice. No more little 5' x 7' windowless practice rooms! Now I have a full view of Montreal along with a Steinway and yamaha grand at my disposal! Not to mention the harpsichord! :o)

Speaking of productivity I've made a schedule recently of all the crazy nonsense things I need to do, and more than ever I feel prepared. Not only that I feel independent and responsible. I really let school fall to the back burner on my priorities but no longer! I'm also focused on keeping my apartment somewhat clean.

Anywho yay productivity. For the next few days I have so many hours of practicing I plan to book. Today's practice really really worked well, my rondo is finally getting there, including the killer scales and rough arpeggios. On the down side, the hours of sitting on those piano benches with all the moving and sitting has really hurt my lower back. Insult to injury.

Surprisingly I'm very tired. Late night last night, went to a concert, early this morn to see m'landlord. Hopefully tomorrow morn I can sleep a little in the AM before practicing, then heading over to a friends place for a few hours, then coming home and practicing. Soon I will take a photo to show you guys what my work space looks like =].

Meeting new people, getting invited out, being a better piano player, learning more. University is truly amazing. Let it be known I sometimes have sleepless nights thinking about my origins in Ottawa, and where my life would be if I stayed. You guys are my friends and always will be. You were all with me when I was growin' up and all that. I will remember you all.

Anyway, So long and thanks for all the fish!
