up-tempo
Life is what you make of it. Everyone should know this. Any person’s situation is only what you perceive it as and accept it as. People need to live by this. Illness is any form is 90% psychological; you can’t be considered "disabled" until you give into your hindrance. Life is what you make of it. Make it a good thing.
My student conducting experience was good. I made sure "Bugler’s Holiday" went almost as fast as I’d like it. I quickly realized how difficult it is to keep an 80+ member symphonic band in the same tempo at such a fast rate especially when you have no conducting experience and you just kind of wave the baton to and fro. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
Last night I saw TripleX with some THP folk. This is the most testostorone-induced movie I’ve ever witnessed. Not only is Vin Diesel a horrible actor but so much of the movie was either over-cooked or just plain spoiled. The action was, unfortunately, completely non-stop. But if you like that kind of stuff then go for it. 3.3 out of 10.
Tonight is Tim’s B-Day party which I am now dj-ing. So my evening is hopefully filled. Yet I am so worn out from a lack of sleep that I’m not sure if I will be able to stay awake. I haven’t slept in on a Saturday morning in almost 5 months. It’s a horrible feeling depriving yourself of natural fuel.
