tired
psyching myself up for gym and a weekend full of errands
whoring myself out all week is exhausting
bad weather this weekend spoiled my plans for outdoors activities
what do you mean by whoring yourself, Jobâ„¢?
yes
I am towards the end of medical school so the whoredom is maximum
I am succeeding, some humans actually like me
they fell for it
retards
Yes, soon they'll want you to manage every aspect of their life
And put you in charge of their children's socio-economic performance
and I will make enough money and then just suddenly vanish as fast as legally allowed
and then be ownerless for the rest of my days
books are perhaps the only things made *more expensive* by the internet
to get the entire Mahabharata, unabridged, would cost me 127$ on Amazon
While I can get abridged one, which is some 1/3 of the full volume, if less, for 13$
and thats 127$ for 3 volumes of paperback
now i researched into it and it appears that only one version of the full work in prose was actually published, lacking only last 2 books
do we need a reading channel?
I just realized I potentially need no more instrumental skill than I already have to make good music
I also realized that despite all the crazy synthesizers and effects, piano has to be my n1 favourite sound
But I also like the sound of Clavinet, and keys in general
I am starting to realize that all there really is to music is rhythms and lines
I feel like I was mentally fixated on chord playing for a long time, and I focused on the chord instruments (Guitar/piano)
but the fundamental recipe of "lines put together in narrative form" is the non retard version of that
it must have been rock music cancer in me
sticking the idea in my head that music is chord progression with lead lines on top of it, instead of a whole ecosystem of lead lines at its core
rhythm stripped down to it's most bare meaning is a quantitative aspect of music
yeah
there's only a handful of quantitative elements
but I am suddenly noticing everyone retarded thinks in chords and everyone good thinks in lines
rhythm instrumens are instruments who produce tones of a "bare" quality, lacking character, longitude
I would even say I am a good bassist primarily because I approached the instrument from day one playing lines
the "petrified" sound made to express the quantitative aspect which can nevetheless, be expressed without them
I am only B+/A- technical skill at it, it's that I know what to play
yes
they distill down not to prozak's "least distinct expression," which would be the melody, but into something more like an overly compressed jpeg
chord focus precludes attention to detail, so no wonder the music of today is completely lacking in it
it is chord autism
