Music lately has been one heckuva way to focus and clear my head, did some playing last night, and tonight after a day of sleeping the entire day (all but maybe 20-30 minutes) I slept, was a very nice day, and it’s finishing up with some off and on rain, which is a nice peaceful thing to help with calm/relaxing.
Nancy Drew film What a crazy 2 weeks. Followed up with a Friday that was so back and forth, wowza! Just glad it ended on a fun note, saw Eragon with my cousin, as she knew I’d go see it, and no one else probably would go with her, but for $4 – it was alright, I love our cheap theater, I still want to see Stranger than Fiction with Will Ferrel, looks hilarious, but I hate going to the movies alone, anyone wanna come?
But tonight’s playing around on the piano, was nice, did a lot of just off the wall stuff, playing around, no recording, but then I decided to record something:

Around the World in 80 Days buy I know I know, it’s just one of those bits of music I hafta play now and again, it’s silly, but from as simple as it can be, to complex and a tad more elegant, it’s a good piece to just play and tweak since the basicness of it is easy to remember – I also fiddled with the main theme from The Notebook, one I have fiddled with off and on for years, sure sure, I could buy the sheet music, but where’s the fun in that? Where’s the discovery?
I am doing a lot better though this weekend, some folks have expressed concern for me, and I greatly appreciate the comments on the last post, the IM’s asking me if I am good, heck even people at the office wondering if I am okay – just 2 weeks of high stress, lack of sleep, and a mind that won’t quit – some things, it’s still grinding away at, but 2-3 things compared to 30000 things, I’ll take that any day – sometimes I wish I was a big company, lots of employees, but then the other end of that, I also wish I was a W2 employee who had a set of things to do, for-sure paycheck that didn’t just rest on if clients wanted to PayPal funds in, but simply was there because I did the work.
Life is choice, life is mistakes and learning from them, and in the end Life is what you allow it to become, not what you make it. I know too many people who tell me that “Life is what YOU make it.” – honestly, I think in life we do make it, we stand in the way of GREAT things happening, fear, doubt, constantly questioning “Is this Right?!” – I know I am definitely guilty of it, but hopefully one day, I’ll get Chuck out of the way, and let some things which could be a benefit to me, happen. All in due time.
Well it’s coming up on 1am, got a great bit of piano time in, had some fun chats during, before, and who knows, here in a bit someone may start chatting me up – night is still young. Have a Good Sunday, and hopefully a not too stressful monday. Night.
I absolutely Loved the piano music. Makes me want to practice even more
