That's absolutely wonderful. I think I know exactly what you mean about being both inspired and depressed by hearing music sometimes; I hear amazing pianists and at the same time as I'm trying to absorb as much of the beauty as I can, I'm hating it because I can never get my own playing to equal it. And I never really stopped playing; I just haven't been as dedicated as I could have been.
Speaking of amazing music, are you coming to listen to the Requiem on Saturday?
i know exactly what you mean. I'm prone to pulling out the harmonica and guitar when i get tipsy. i'm alot better. i attribute it to: 1. lack of negative self talk 2. lack of thinking. music is best when you don't have to think. when it just flows out of you. when you don't play it, it plays you. I've seen people play so fast, you know there's noway they could be thinking. their eyes are even closed

The answer to your question is yes. I frequently suck horribly at fencing. There's an awful lot of garbage you haven't seen. Also, in terms of excelling at things in life, it's just a ridiculous matter of who you happen to be competing against etc. anyway. I might as well be laughing about being the tallest girl on a floor full of dwarves with better asses than I. I don't give a $*#()$, it doesn't mean anything, too relative. I want to surprise myself with something I never saw coming, rather than to just live up to my own expectations. Then you will hear me crowing about it. Trust me.
Anyhow, in reference to our conversation about forcing yourself to work through your weak points, I still stand by what I said. God, I hope I am right, otherwise I've just spent four years walking around handicapped for no apparent reason.
Remember, "People should do what they were meant to do, yadayada, pursue the things that are easiest..." Snork, Whirr, ($)$#). What you were talking about extensively recently
