Throughout the past few weeks I have developed these strong, omnipresent, ever-growing urges to act. I’m not joking. The urge comes any where at any time of the world. I am taking a technique class and my professor is awesome. Nay, he is beyond amazing. He’s really a coach and a director, not so much a professor. I really enjoy his class. I have this huge desire to put to action what I’ve learned. Ha, action. Get it.. Acting. Action. Merhh, lame. Anyway, I’m just really antsy to get on stage again. I know I said I would be taking a break, which I actually have been, but I said that to mostly just get the heck away from all of the crappy people I had met in the last company I “joined.” Whatever. The end.

Now, yes. All I really need is Jesus’ approval (don’t play widd ittttt). However, compliments are rare from him nowadays and I just soak up this random joy in my life whenever I possibly, humanly can. He excites me. He is so fresh. Everyday he is something new to me. Sometimes it’s terrible and most times it’s like, ahhhhh. Sigh of relief from anything stressful going on. Sigh of authentic, genuine happiness. Sigh just because I like him and that’s that. That’s how it is. Accept it or whatever.

*Addition: Most times when I compliment him he turns it around back to me. Ew. What a nice guy or something. What a….gentleman.     ….?

Have you ever met a group of scientists that don’t know what E=mc^2 means? No.
Have you ever met a group of mathematicians that don’t know the value of pi? No.
Have you ever met a group of professional construction workers that don’t know how to use a power tool? No.
Have you ever met a group of “musicians” that don’t know how to read music? YUP.

MY QUESTION: WHY IS IT THAT SOME “ARTISTS” THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH CLAIMING TO BE MUSICIANS WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING HOW TO READ MUSIC?!?!?!

A class with a prerequisite of knowing how to read graphic notation for sheet music, having past choral ensemble experience, you would ASSUME would attract people who know how to read music with choral experience, correct? This is not the case at Sacramento City College. I told the prof there is no way that I am going to be needlessly frustrated for an entire semester. Today, it took 2 hours to get the class of around 30 people to sing 4 MEASURES of music. SERIOUSLY. F.O.U.R. MEASURES. NO JOKE. THE EASIEST CHORAL PIECE EVER. That’s what I get for signing up for classes that require group efforts and teamwork. I always end up leading, and I’m done being the leader for every dang harmony and section and group that I am a part of. Don’t you read and make sure you understand the requirements of the class you’re enrolling in?!?! I DO! I literally dropped it because of other people!
