"What's on your mind right now"?

1. Well, wondering how in the world am I going to get through medical school. And, trying to pick out which college on my list to go to. $:-\$

2. How am I going to stay on the next horse I am going to break. And for those that don't know what that means. It means that I am going to tame a wild horse, so that you can ride it.

interesting, cowgirl! i used to have a horse. but, alas, he was not wild. he was a retired barrel racer that tripped occasionally (thankfully, he never fell down).

but, i watched a show about this guy in new mexico that tames wild horses. wish i remembered his name. anyway, he would have this routine of using ropes and whispering to the horse, getting him used to the feel of the rope, then bit, then saddle or something. suppose you already know this. i think people are naturally talented this way from childhood. (getting into the mind of the animal and watching their actions/reactions). i thought i remembered something about looking directly/vs not looking directly into their eyes. i wish i could remember - i think it was that they don't like it at first to be directly looked at - that you have to be sort of non-chalant and fairly gauged in your timing of roping and when you attempt something like the first petting of the mane/neck - shoulders - back - - and then let them have time to get used to it. to go around many times with just the rope and no saddle. and, then, the saddle for a while - with noone on it.

song lyrics running through my head (thanks to my friend

)

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I’m a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I’m the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you’ve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

lol I love that song...

I am thinking about my daughter, who is on a 20-hour bus trip north to her summer job of tree-planting, where she will be paid 10 cents/tree planted, trying to earn money to pay for the equipment she had to buy for the job and earn some money for next year's tuition, all while being eaten by mosquitos, blackflies and deerflies...and who won't be here for Mother's Day, for the first time.

pianistimo · «Reply #211 on: May 09, 2006, 01:48:36 AM »

did you say in a previous post that you were in canada recently? orhave you moved there from cunningham pianos in philadelphia? and, what the heck is your daughter planting ten cent trees, twenty hours away, when she could be borrowing money from you both on mother's day? and, is this wood going to be used to make pianos? are you secretely urging her on to a really good career later on down the road (secret forest of some kind, just for pianos?) i believe the last time we spoke, you were trying to convince me that you were andre watts.

what's on my mind? well, i just got a message from gonzalo asking about a specific aria 'marten aller arten' from the 'abduction from the seraglio' of which i'm not familiar. can anyone give me a lead in as to what this aria is about and why (if i am a mozart lover) that it is a litmus test of fake mozart lovers to real mozart lovers? unfortunately, i had to refer him to dennis pajot - because my husband is a baritone and would never be able to pass for 'constanze' if he sang her aria. what is this aria about? why should i know this? will i now be disgraced in the music world of mozart lovers? where can one find a good free copy of this aria? preferably the authentic or urtext version for free? what are the words saying?

why was i surprised that dennis pajot had such a sense of humor - and much different than his role on mozartforum. i read a very funny blog by him (scroll down to 'lake michigan' - and mozart) at www.musiclassical.blogspot.com

I've lived in Canada for many years...the trees are planted (on contract) for forestry companies, who must plant 2 trees for every one they cut...in another 10 or 20 years they'll be cut again.

My daughter came home after a week...her tent rolled over in the middle of the night (with her in it) from a windstorm, and then there was too much snow to plant...the snow melted but she just couldn't take the job (get up at 5:30, eat breakfast, leave to start planting at 7, back to camp at 7 or 7:30, eat supper, go to bed).

richgalassini confused me with his being both andre watts and abel88. i am now just as confused as i was before i went to cunningham pianos. in any case, resolving questions just keeps me coming back to the store - which is what he probably wants. i'd say it's a mild case of identity theft. he wants to live in canada i guess.

your daughter is brave to camp in snowy ? weather. and get up so early and plant trees all day long. that is really a service to the next generation!

i want to plant trees, too. i think i'll plant one in the back yard (takes an acorn and stuffs it int he ground) . does anyone need some acorns? i've got a whole lot of them in the backyard. there are so many types of trees here in pa that i'm still confused what's what. we have mostly white ash, maple, and other 'broad leaved' trees and not so many 'coniferous' where i am. i think those are the piney ones, right? does coniferous mean having cones? just curious. must look in my 'trees of pennsylvania' book. it has pictures so you dont' get confused. sort of like audubons bird book except trees.

what's on my mind? hmmm. besides trees, flowers. i planted some more impatiens - which grow like wildfire from one little plant. you can also break the plants up and make more. planted some marigolds, too. and, i like going around lifting wildflowers once in a while from the backyard and putting them all in one spot. then, when the lawn is mowed - they aren't cut down.

I am just thinking of new ways of upsetting the pregnant dog i work for.

This week it was inviting eveyone to my birthday party and leaving her out on purpose. I told her i would have her thrown out if she turned up.

Next week, i think i will arrange for a wreath to be delivered with her name on it.

Like the "What are you listening to right now" thread...

What's the most pressing concern on your mind at the moment?

Things you are working on now, things you "must remember to do today or this week," etc. not necessarily piano.

Have you ever walked into a thread and then forgotten what you came in for?

I'm thinking about working up the courage to ask out this girl I'm friends with, and have been for a long time. The thing is, she confessed her love for me last summer, and I pleasantly (atleast I hope it came across pleasantly) turned her down because it just wasn't the right time in my life to be seeing someone, but now I'm starting to like her more and more but I don't know if she still feels the same. Also I don't want to hurt her if it wouldn't work out, as I feel she might get just a little bit too attached....

My mind is wretching with 'do' or 'don't

And I'm also starting to like this other girl too, but I'm thinking that seeing her will upset the first girl, and I really don't want to do that! So it's either her or no one really....

....damn you females $:-\$

But I can't have 'intimate relations' (atleast not with pain or some discomfort) with a piano, and I can't play Chopin on a girl.

Well, I don't think I can... I've never really tried his 4th prelude on a female, could be fairly interesting, though where would I play.... her teeth maybe?

Girls are very much like pianos.

Both capable of beautiful music, but both have strings attached.

just went to the shriner's circus. gotta wonder what's the thrill in riding an elephant. what if the entire saddle just slipped around under the elephant? and, how do those proficient riders hang on with their knees right behind the elephants ears? that's still a pretty wide neck. must be tough to hang on.

somebody help me get 'funiculi-funicula' out of my head.

oh. i forgot to tell about the hula hoop girl. she twirled about 20 at one time. and, the swirling silk girl - she climbed these two silk panels 10 to 15 feet up whilst smiling and twirling around and in and out. could have been a las vegas act - but, you know the shriners (1/2 the circus is based around what these old guys want to see and not the kids). if my husband had known the silk swirling girls would be there, he'd have worn tighter pants. as it was, he had to just pretend she didn't exist and read a book.

thinking about what the last few years would have been like had I been in a mental institution. I'm not in one. I'm taking classes, I share an apartment with other girls, and I am making progress toward having a life beyond my existence now. I'm not trapped in a hospital with people other than me telling me I'm crazy. I still have freedom and opportunities, even if I have tainted the best opportunity I've ever had. I've created an interruption for myself. people that commit themselves do that. They take a break from the real world they're not sure they can handle.

"One moment made to stand still and stand for all other moments, whatever they would be or might have been. "
"The girl at her music sits at another sort of light, the fitful, overcast light of life, by which we see ourselves and others only imperfectly, and seldom. "

"It'll be okay, won't it?" I asked. My voice was far away from me and I hadn't said what I meant. What I meant was that now I was safe, now I was really crazy, and nobody could take me out of there.
