Blogs

Recently, I've acquired the addresses of a number of people's blogs. People who actually write intelligent things. It's very interesting. For the rest of the world, it's just reading the thoughts of a random person they probably will never meet. But if you actually know the person, you gain an insight into what makes that person who they are. I find it very interesting. Man, I've drunk a lot of coffee this morning. I don't exactly know why. I got really excited that I figured out how to work my coffee maker, I guess. Anyways, here are more photos from the band trip. Hope you're enjoying them. I have an ear training quiz today, which frightens me, as all ear training quizzes do. But, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, a little. I did some practice dictations this morning, and I actually got a couple right. Last night, I ran into Ben at the music building, and we played music for each other. I played some excerpts from solos, and he played some junk on the piano. Music is meant to be shared. I really feel a need to start performing. I feel as if God has gifted me with some amount of skill on the trombone, and it gives me such joy to play, I think I should be sharing it with others. I really would like to get together with Benjamin to play some trombone duets. Just to get some time making music with other people who are passionate about it. I think it would be a very sad world if music were a solitary activity. It has to be shared, either by performance, or just playing with friends. Benjamin taught me oboe yesterday, for his double reeds midterm exam. It was interesting. I was impressed, I actually got a sound out of the thing. Anyways, time to go to philosophy. Hope everyone is doing well.
