What if ?
on: April 16, 2009, 04:50:48 AM
I missed my old 'what if' thread so much, that I started a new one ?  :-[ :-[

I miss it  :'( ... at least the idea, started by me  ;D.  Please can we have a new one, please:-*  The old one had some great stuff in it ... okay, some stuff that was not so great, too.  But, is it truly gone forever ??  :'( :'(  Boo hooo hooo.  I miss it this badly :

What if I created a new 'what if' thread that actually lasted for eternity ?


ahhhhhhh ....

*stretches 'what if ?' legs out*

My 'what if ?' legs have been all cramped up in some tiny space ... practically a space that is non-existent.  I hate it.

*makes more 'what if' leg space*

*walks around on 'what if ?' legs*

*dances*

What if how we listen to and hear our own playing in real time IS our personality, being musically expressed in real time ? 

What if "personality" has nothing to do with "antics" but rather, it is simply the kind of attention we give to the music ?

What if Goldy posted the vintage post from the old 'what if ?' thread ?

What if my love never helped anyone, and actually made things worse for them?
What if hurting people actually helped them, and loving people actually destroys them?
What if that applied to music, or any other pursuit? Wouldn't everything defeat its purpose?
