yea..i'm updating again. SO WEIRD! i'm on like a crazy updating spree.

so what's the deal this time u wonder? well, i just finished orchestra practice and i was thinking about how all my life b4 i have had a pretty musical life. i started learning piano in like kindergarten, and played the flute starting in 6th grade. i cant even begin to imagine the amount of money my parents spent on my musical education. private lessons, solo/ensemble, buying the actual instruments, buying me music, all the funds that go into marching band, buying our fundraising chocolate, the list goes on and on. then most of us...kinda throw our instruments to the side. many dont realize the foundation this has set in our minds, and...i dont know what i'm trying 2 say. i guess i want to thank my parents for allowing me the opportunity to learn and love music. not even just classical, but to appreciate all music. shoot, i LOVE the oldies. and disney songs, r&b, house, country, pretty much anything. honestly, classical music is the foundation for everything else, and it's wonderful to hear it.

heh, so OK the orchestra sux. i'm used 2 playing w/ really good players i guess. i'm not saying i'm good; in fact i screw up quite a bit now. but i guess i'm just used 2 playing on another level, playing everyday, practicing to achieve perfection. now, it's practicing to try and get thru a song. hehehe. altho we are playing interesting music. jupiter, the marriage of figaro, hungarian rhapsody, variations by edgar...it's all well-known stuff. i love hearing the way all the different instruments mesh together and form this beautiful...sound. granted our orchestra is a volunteer thing and that we're quite top heavy and lacking strings and bass, but still. i love it.

so i guess my real point of this entry was just to say THANK YOU MAMMY AND DEDDY for spending a crapload of money on my musical education. so maybe i slacked and didnt practice a lot. and maybe i should've, but i'm a really bad and lazy person. sorry 4 that. but besides that, i love music. music is great. there's some feelings that words can not express, and can be done through music. have u ever got that feeling where u hear something, or u're playing something, and chills just runs thru your body? it's so awesome.
