I wish that I could relive some moments in my life.

I wish I could feel that way....

But no, what's gone is gone and what's done is done...I have no interest in the past...and can't remember much about it anyway  :(

That's what makes the past so great.

...there were more of these people than the multitude of jerk offs/twerpes that seem determined to outnumber them by a hefty margin.....

click and read. it is worth it, unless you're a jerk off/twerpe. in which case, you're a pooh head.

I wish I could get a piano bench that is not too low, but most benches that are high enough crush my upper legs. (I'm 6'7" with rather long legs, arms, and fingers)

No you don't. Being tall can be a huge inconvenience.

Maybe I'll walk around in shoes with 1-foot tall soles for a day to experience that.

Yeah... not the best idea. Being tall is inconvenient, and 1-foot soles would be really hard to walk in.

I wish I didn't have this bloody flu...I can't stop coughing and everything aches... and hardly any sound comes out when I try to speak. Of course I got sick when I have two days off work >:(

But I did practice quite a lot today regardless...must get well before my lesson on Monday.

I'm sorry. Being sick is never fun. Hope you get better soon! In the meantime, drink lots of fluids, rest, and hope for the best. I find vegetable soup particularly effective.

Can't sleep because of the cough and now I am a bit worried about my lesson on Monday...
Must get well because I guess it isn't appropriate to go to a lesson coughing and sneezing and full of snot  :(

I have not cancelled one lesson with my present teacher (since September 2011) and in my case it's a bit of a miracle...I have started and not finished more courses than I can remember because I'm just too lazy to go every time and eventually drop out.

I'm really sorry. Hope you get better! I've been feeling a bit under the weather myself. Like I said, vegetable soup is very effective for mucus, sore throat, and flu.

I did go to my lesson and I'm happy I did. I was able to play one of my pieces through almost the way I wanted with only a couple of tiny mistakes and my teacher said it sounded beautiful. And she certainly does not say things like that often. Of course there was also a comment how to make the right hand better (it's a bit hard to adjust the balance with such a different piano than mine), but that's ok, I'll keep working on it :)

One more lesson and then 3 weeks break. I got 3 more pieces to work on plus the ones I struggle with now so I will be quite busy... so many notes to learn... I wish I'll be able to play them all in January.

I wish no one had to worry about affording or accessing the basics of life like food, electricity, water etc.  And all children should have access to music lessons, they were subsidised when I learnt but not anymore :(

I don't know...maybe I should start reading magazines so I would not be so dumb on such important things... I do get some, but they only have pictures of computers and other cute stuff or space thingys...

I wish we could level up in piano like this, with a cool little theme song going off from some mystrious unknown place and maybe some shiney piano power rays shooting out of you like in the midst of practicing or after you nail a performance or complete an assignment lol

I felt inspired (though perhaps my 'paint' skills need much work-i couldn't make white letters to add to the stock image!)

I'm a level 199 in piano and have lots of programs to hack the game. I can pk all the nubs, I respect and learned a lot of the leets but have pwned a few. My guild is about 200 strong, though many nubs there have been a few leets who have emerged .... oh yeah I also wish what enrique says :)

i wish more classical music audiences (i.e. concert hall attendees), showed this much enthusiasm sometimes.  i am not really a fan of the non-word 'woo' but i i do like the idea of that type of energy from the crowd in a concert hall that probably doesn't see it too often.

i'm not saying that the more 'proper' ovations we sometimes here are bad, just that i wish audiences would loosen up a little sometimes and let out some more spirited approval/appreciation for musicians on traditional stages.
