Dear substitute Thal ;D

1. I'll make 2 cd's
2. I'll not get overworked again
3. I'll not post more resolutions than these 2 (oops already 3 :P)

Things in general are all right. I don't think I need to make any dramatic resolutions aside from quiet common sense and continuing in the same direction. Musically ? Again, just continue to develop along the same lines as last year. The ideas I have stumbled on in recent years will likely not run out of steam before I peg out.

2) learn more for school
3) practice more piano !

No...lol...atleast your grandmother didn't.  ;D Ha! I can't believe you remember that!!! (Not trying to say you're forgetful or anything...) No...I wasn't making fun of you...if I was I would have probably put a smily or something of that sort. I was just stating my thought that I thought that you might be trying to be Thal.  No offense. That's great! (about you learning the first mov.) Keep going!!! That's amazing that you learned it that fast. My grandmother has gotten over that...so I'm back learning it.  I think the second mov. is pretty easy....gives you a break.  Just wait til' you get to the third...  ;) Good Luck!

Oops! I just saw something that I said that might be mistaken very easily.  When I said 'Good Luck!' I didn't mean it as in: You won't be able to learn it!.  I meant it as: Have fun and finish it!  Does that make better sense?

Wow thanks beethoven, I just total dissed you and you don't even care, yet you keep encouraging me to learn appasionata.

I don't meet people like that usually at your age  ;)

P.S. I smoke grass. I role it up in paper then smoke it like a cigarette

 Someone said to me that New Year's Resolutions must have a restrictive or improving nature. That's it, something that you will probably regret. Considering this, here are mine:
 
 1) I will not play more than 1000 hours of piano;
 2) I will not listen to more than 1500 hours of the BBC Radio 3 programs;
 3) I will not drink more than 300 caipirinhas  8)
 
 About the rest, everything's just fine. Hope we shall have a lot of good topics here!
 A great year to all of you!
 Best!

Gain weight.
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.
