I wasn't trying to brag, I was putting him down for not knowing his instrument well enough for being a professional musician.

 

 

I'm sorry for my hostility, it was excessive. I just thought that a professional musician should be able to play anything without much trouble.

You sound like you might be a professional musician, can you tell us more?

[mr quick]

I don't consider myself one, as I'm dissatisfied with my own dexterity.

I just want to put out there that I'm not a professional. I'm just a freshman in high school. I've never played played anything like that, so I guess I was simply a bit confused. The music itself is pretty easy, although for, like, fourteen to eighteen measures it's strings, and then the wood and brass play for about two or three measures. There's a lot of rests, so it'd not that interesting to play.

I was a bit out of line, I understand that playing with many sharps is difficult for brass players. I don't much care for playing in Db or Ab when I'm on keys.

 

I was still upset about the lack of professionalism in some of the musicians with whom I played this evening, and I shouldn't have criticized you. It ain't easy being a working musician.

I shouldn't have complained much either. It's interesting that they composed music that is usually on the level of a college student, but it's for a high school performance. I know the trumpet part; however, has a measure where an entire chromatic is supposed to be played in place of an eighth. We have my old band director, who has been playing for well over fifty years, playing the trumpet part, and even he can't do that. He played professionally for a while before becoming a teacher.

Pissed off right now. My desktop may have to be wiped and rebuilt. Compounding my problems is the inability to properly back up my latest changed/updated files. *sigh*

[Femme Fatale]

I f*cking hate it that my co-workers call my music sh*t, and they say theirs is better...f*ck you, Death metal is infinity times better than cumbia, mariachi, salsa, and all that spic sh*t...Thank the Metaphorical God being Mexican didn't make me listen to that garbage...

[sivispacem]

Use the word "spic" again on this forum and you'll no longer be a member of it.

[Femme Fatale]

I'm Mexican...But okay...

[sivispacem]

I don't care. An ethnic slur is an ethnic slur.

[drifter.]

I was playing Minecraft and saw an enderman and got spooked , ran around and got lost until I came across a huge pit which seemed to have torches already placed there so I was intrigued by it ( because of herobrine) and kept unintentionally moving forward and fell down the pit and lost my bow and iron.

 

 

Whole day ruined >

at least you get a warning be grateful for that lol

[LightningLord]

If I see an ad for Unfriended one more time, I'm going to lose my mind.

[Reformed Squid]

Okay, this really pisses me off. Apparently, rapists and paedophiles who are released from prison are provided with free housing, and this rapist just got this free four-bedroom house with a pool because it was "the only one that would allow sex offenders to move in". So this goddamn asshole who raped 8 women gets a nice house for free while perfectly decent people fighting to provide for their families have to live in dilapidated apartments in poor neighbourhoods? I'm sorry, shoot the criminal in the back of the head and instead give the house to an impoverished family. That would be a better use of taxpayer's money.

While i understand the sentiment, your conclusion is nothing short of being fascist. Erase the deviant and degenerate for the benefit of the Volkskörper that is more deserving of our aid? That has been done before.

 

As for the specific case i know absolutely nothing about, as you provide no source or details, i'd say it is not too far fetched to assume that there are more complex details at play that led to the situation you describe, as i doubt that any government in the world has made it its cause to provide luxury residence to rapists. Therefor you might wanna cool your Volkszorn down a bit.

[lil weasel]

So disappointing.

I have watched the Saint Patrick's day Parades.

The military units seem to have lost their luster over the years.

Nobody wears Dress Uniforms on Parade, all in the sloppy fatigues. and some cannot even keep step or straight ranks. .

 

 

At least (most of) the Pipes and Drums are decent.

 

 

[note: they are not trusted with rifles either.]

I'd still be thankful regardless that they're fighting for our country, regardless of what they look like.

They are fighting for the oligarchs and outside interests. I am thankful we have people willing to make the sacrifice, but I'm bloody sick of what we go fight for. It's bullsh*t.

[*MURDOC*]

A lot of them don't care, as long as they "get to shoot stuff 'n kill people".

[Ai®a©ob®a]

I know movies aren't suppose to be realistic but when someone gets like 15 shots from a 5 shot revolver c'om really?

[Aby]

I hate shopping for pants.

[AlienTwo]

I hate doctors when they practice lazy "medicine" and dangerously, murderously, prescribe pain pill after pain pill for "all that ails ye."

 

These f*ckers should be punished much more harshly than those who get busted for pushing meth, heroin or crack.

I have to take algebra 2 next school year. I had the course this year but my guidance counselor suggested that I drop it and take Liberal Art. It's the same thing as algebra 2, but you're just learning the basics and at a slower pace. So far, I'm understanding very well, so I hope I'll understand easier and faster next school year.

Go to my doctor. I can be there with high blood pressure and on the verge of a nervous breakdown and he just tells me to have a cup of tea. Broken leg...cup of tea.

Sounds like high school! Got your arm ripped off? "Just have a cup of tea, darling..."

More doctors need to be that way. It would save lives.

I actually did break my leg in a few places at highschool and they didnt believe me. It was during PE class and im lying on the ground. The conversation went:

Me: "Sir, my leg is broken"

Teacher: "No its not, you'd be screaming if it was broken"

Me: "Na its broken. I feel like I wanna throw up" (because im accident prone I'd broken plenty of bones before and often get this sick feeling in my gut if i break a bone)

Teacher: (snorting in derision) "If you really think its sore you can walk to the sickbay"

 

The sick bay is about a km away, luckily my mate didnt bring his sport uniform and was walking laps of the oval instead so he gave me a hand. Rock up back to school monday with a full plaster cast, leg broken in two places as well as my knee. The look on the teachers face when he had to pull me out of class to apologize, he was as sheepish as a New Zealander. Guess they didn't want to get sued or something.

On the bright side, you got to visit "Sickbay" as a kid. My only hope is join the navy or get a job on the Starship Enterprise.
