pianostreet apology thread (as suggested by pianowolfi)

[thalbergmad]

By the way, have you yet done so yourself, following your brief foray into what might be taken as intemperate language not especially appropriate for use in a thread with a title such as this one has?

Following my brief foray into what might be taken as intemperate language not especially appropriate for use in this thread, i can confirm that i am still none the wiser what the bleeding hell you are on about.

How about beginning a new topic :

The ahinton versus thal   

Hello babes, you OK today

Never mind then, 

[ahinton]

OK. By the way, speaking of Thal, I understand from another thread on this forum that Thal was questioning your marital status; whilst I cannot imagine that you'd necessarily choose to declare it, a PM would obviously be the most discreet way to do so if you did...

Best,

Shouldn't you kids be practicing?

[db05]

You know who you are. I love you and I'm sorry.

[imbetter]

I probably should be I just got a new piano teacher and he is SO demanding.

Same here, I'm getting a new teacher, she gave me stuff, and I've been lazy.....

[furtwaengler]

I'm sorry everybody.

I need this thread back. My behavior of late has been backwards and obtrusive, and I kind of wish someone would hit me over the back of the head with a shovel...or on the forehead with a two-by-four; both I think would be adequately painful. Frankly I could use the pressure (in the Brian Regan sense), even if it could never propitiate, as if it could ever propitiate.

Blah, I hate it all; I just want to be me again.

(This is a longer thread than I would have anticipated, and it's actually pretty enjoyable to read.)

[nanabush]

I'm sorry for reviving old threads.  I'm also sorry for starting new ones.

Maybe we should all just stop posting all together, to stop this nonsense.

Can't say i have noticed.

To the world and especially the human race:

My most profound apologies for so many things, the utmost important one being that I don't have every detail of my life figured out and completely put together, wrapped with a lovely bow.  Secondly, I am sorry that I have ever made a mistake in my life, taken a wrong turn, done the wrong thing, thought something less than perfect, or said something that wasn't quite right.  I am also deeply sorry that I haven't always known what I wanted to be when I grow up, and that I have felt a bit of confusion along the way.  I will ashamedly admit that sometimes I don't even know what I am doing!    Occasionally, I don't even feel like doing anything at all and once in a blue moon, I am actually a little tired.  Please accept my sincerest apologies that sometimes I want something that I don't have, or sometimes I am something to somebody that they don't want me to be, or I am not quite what they wished I were.  Most of all, I guess, I'm so sorry that I have lived my life in this awful state.  Unfortunately, I can't actually look you in the eyes and tell you that I will make you happy, nor can I even promise you that I will try.  Sometimes I am not even sure how to make every single person happy  .

I'm quite sorry that I am tall and that I have red hair.  Sorry about those things.  I apologize that I don't always eat exactly the right thing or in the right ways and that my entire life wasn't filled with monetary riches and the most profound education in the entire world.  I'm very sorry if I ever accidentally loved you and especially if you didn't know how to handle it.  ooops!  I apologize if I have ever been successful in any way, I'm sure I didn't deserve that for any reason.

[thalbergmad]

To whom it may concern:

I am not sorry, coz you are in fact a selfish cow.

You get all you bloody deserve.

Bollox to you.

I see that you've decided to return to that charm school to begin studying for a PhD there; your supererogatory remarks above are therefore noted accordingly.

Best,

Gets dictionary out.

Oh yes, now I see.

I'm pleased to hear it, for all that I'm somewhat surprised that you had to resort to your dictionary to look up the meaning of "bollox". Never mind!

You will be pleased to know that you are the only member here that requires me to use a dictionary.

I actually do feel sorry like this for most of my life. 

Also, I'm sorry to the smaller world that may have noticed today that I was wearing pants that were a bit too small for me in two ways.  They were too short, I'm sorry.  And, they were too tight.  I'm really sorry about that one.  Especially to the tender hearts.  I'm most sorry to you, tender hearts.

The woman has quoted herself.

Appears to be raving mad.

Richard Strauss was not above quoting himself in certain of his works; that didn't and doesn't make him "raving mad".

Is this Latin??

[Bob]

Si se puede!

Oops.  Wrong Cesar.  Nevermind.   


(Example of post revision that didn't involve replacing everything with a period. )

[ahinton]

Not even Latin-American, old boy - but what is of far greater interest is the response that we still await from you to the observation about Strauss's predilection for self-quotation in your context of alleged "raving madness".

Best,

[pianowolfi]

Yes we all could apologize for something and then apologize again for apologizing....

[m1469]

Yeah, I'm sorry for all my sorries.  Sorry about it.  Sorry.  Sorry times infinity.


*Tippie toes everywhere*

[pianowolfi]

I am sorry for not apologizing anywhere for anything in this thread. So sorry

[littletune]

Yes I'm sorry about really a lot of things all the time too!

[punkpianist360]

I will show you people what "raving mad" is allllllll over again if this thread continues to be spammed .

[pianissimo123]

I said to my teacher - What do you expect me to do? Write you a symphony?  -

A person, a teacher or someone in authority asks me to do something, and I can only try my best. But that is never ever good enough for them. I can only do what I can, and say what I know. I am not screwing with you people, I don't have the guts to do so, and I am not pretending to be someone I'm not.

A person wants me to show gratitude or respect, but there are many ways to do so. I show my gratitude and my respect in different ways than most, and end up offending this person. I don't mean to. I never did. And if that's people's impression of me here, I'm sorry. I'm really very sorry.

You know, to be honest, I really can sympathize. Sometimes I find my inner retrospective person having conversations with the real me and I say : "Self, are you serious, or what?! Are you for real? Or are you just here to waste your teacher's time? And your hard earned monies? " But it's right then that I proceed to give myself a much needed kick in the butt and get back to work. Studying. Reading. Learning. Training. =Music Life..
But the part that's really funny is how people at work think I'm odd when I have a music theory work book in front of me whilst scarfing down beefaroni, courtesy of my favorite chef, Monsieur Boyardee.

But what I mean to say by all of this is.. be who you are! It's okay to be a little different and not do everything 'just so ' all the time. And I'm sure that no one thinks you are a poser or some one who is pretending to be something different from what they really are. I mean goodness. I've felt like saying that to my teacher at times too.  I'm very sure you'll be great. Never lose sight of your dream though! It will keep you anchored amidst the craziness of everyday life. Hope this helped.

[m1469]

ooops, sorry, to your heart.  Just trying to find my way, okay?

[m1469]

ooops, sorry, to your heart.  Just trying to find my way, okay?

Hey!   I just realized that the thing I felt sorry about wasn't actually my fault and I let myself feel responsible for something that I actually didn't do!  I'm NOT sorry!!!  Not for that one thing!  I *am* sorry I set fire to everything though, and that I released the crachon.  I'll put the crachon back in the earth crack.     

[pianowolfi]

What a pity, now I haven't even seen the crachon yet, I wonder what it/he/ she looks like...

I'm sorry you had to reply to my post two years late.

I'm sorry, but I already quit piano (which wasn't so hard since I don't own a piano so it was just a matter of discontinuing lessons).

I have to be honest, quitting the piano meant letting go of a great burden. I'm a failure who simply can't do piano and music the justice they deserve. There are too many people who do that already.

Hi Faye,
wow!!  I never could have guessed that you felt your were a "failure" in music and the piano.  It is not really that bad unless you want it to feel that way. We Filipinos have a way of handling perceived "failures" in an unemotional and nonchalant way which my wife often blurts out - "hindi para sa atin" or "not meant for us" or "not meant to be"... so uninvolved ... so matter of fact.  For me it is:  "with all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams ... it is still a beautiful world.  Strive to be happy".  Wish you will spend some time again in pianostreet now that enzo has come back.

[bleicher]

I apologise to myself for it being 10am and not having started my piano practice yet. A whole hour late!
