What's on your mind now?

[Bob]

I think the ocean water is actually getting pushed a little by the air pushed back from the jet.  Not much, but it looks like the surface moves a little from it.



I'm still wondering if the "Italian beef" sandwich I saw today was really beef.... or something else.  It really looked like that stuff in the video above.

[Bob]

Where?  Of course... a cat got it.  Yuck, yuck, yuck...

I see some possibilities there if anyone's doing a voice recital in the near future.

On my mind is why someone always removes my notes and pictures that I put where the nest was, but all others (that other people wrote) stay there and noone touches them. And twice now I put mine up there really high with the other two (I climbed onto the fence) but someone still takes mine down but leaves the other two...
My mum said that it might be because they see that a kid wrote it. And yes of course! I mean of course a person who kills little baby birds hates kids too, it's logical! I mean they are just showing what a disgusting horrible person they are...

It's really ridiculus! I mean other three people who wrote the notes (my mum is one of them) wrote much worse things actually... well one was just a question about what happened to the nest and the birds... but the other one and my mum said that whoever did that was a horrible person and a coward and really bad... and things like that... I only said : What have you done to the poor birdies and then why... and I drew crying faces... I probably wrote that for about 5, 6, 7... times (I don't even know anymore) in one week because every time they take it down!

and yesterday I wrote an apology to the birds and I said: I'm sorry innocent birds for the evil things some people have done to you... and I made two crying faces and two hearts and a candle. And today it was gone and they even pulled away the colour from the wall (when they pulled the paper and the sticky tape away) they were so angry... but they left all other notes from other people...

People think that because they have a larger and more complicated brain they are worth something more and that they are something better... but really a lot of people just don't know what to do with their brain! They just don't know how to really use it! It's like someone would get this complicated machine that could do really great things if you would know how to use it right... but they just don't know how to use it right and instead of doing something good and great with it they use it to do stupid and horrible things and to hurt and destroy! It makes me sick!! And then they think they're something better because of that!!! How can someone be so ..................    How can some people just not get it?! If life is like a test then so many people are soooooooooooooooooooooooo failing it! And they don't even get it! it's just sad...

And it's not true that people just have the right to do whatever they want with animals and they sure don't have the right to hurt animals and people are not worth more than animals... because that's just a wrong way to think ... because if someone thinks like that about animals they think like that about other people (who are different) too! Can't people see that?? All the horrible things are about someone thinking that someone else is not worth as much as they are and feeling that they have the right to hurt them.......... it's just wrong wrong wrong way to think about other living beings!

It's just like this person who hurt the little birds... I guess they see them just as something annoying that could make the stairs dirty and they think the birds don't have the right to be there, just like they think that kids don't have the right to say what they think and what they feel! I mean cause you know kids are just stupid and weird and annoying and they can't really think or feel anything they just say they're sad because they wanna make grownups angry right? I mean probably they just "know" that animals and kids can't really think or feel anything.
But I'm not writing those things to make someone angry! I'm writing them because I am sooo sad! I am almost for sure the most sad about all that and when I try to say how I feel and when I try to somehow help the poor birds they take everything I do down. It's like others can say what they think but I'm not allowed to, just cause I'm a kid! And I can't even stop thinking about it and it hurts me and I dream about it and I wake up and I can't sleep and I'm so tired... but who cares! Right? It doesn't matter how I feel and it doesn't matter what I think cause I tell it in a kids way and I write it with kids writing... so that has to be removed right away! Because those people think that if you're different you are not worth enough and you don't have the right to have feelings...
Oh but we do!! Even if we think differently and even if we act differently and talk differently or look differently and have a different body and different brain we can still feel and get hurt! If you have a brain you feel and you get sad and scared, doesn't matter if you're animal, kid, whatever........
That's what's wrong with some people... always thinking just about themselves, thinking they're the only ones who matter, just being selfish... they just don't know how to use their brain the right way!

First I was thinking I should make like a hundred signs (or notes) and stick them all over the stairs to make them angry and sorry... but I'm not like them! I know how to use my brain! I'll just try to draw something really nice for the birds and then I'll ask my mum to scan it (so they won't distroy the original) and I'll put that up again... not for those people! For the birds!
I really don't like feeling sooo angry, so I'm not going to let them make me so angry anymore... I'll just try to do my best to help the birds! All I wish is that I could help the birds! They have lost their baby birds and now they're building a new nest, but really slowly (and they're never there)... maybe they're just hoping the baby birds would return or maybe they're building it for the ghosts of birds... I don't know... I just sooo hope that it doesn't happen again!

You really are a sweetie with a huge great big heart

It is rare to hear someone with so much care and consideration for animals. It warms me cockles.

Littletune it seems that a few people in the building are on your side, first of all your mom. What about just keeping to put notes and candles again and again, every day, not only you but the other people too? Like a sort of demonstration. And the other people who are on your side might declare themselves being solidary with you on the notes, as well?

Yes that would be great... but we don't know who the other two people are. But I'll keep putting there nice things... and my mum found a number for protection of birds (who are nesting) and she will call it tomorrow and I hope they'll have some advice or something... I really hope!!

[oxy60]

Actually humans are nicer to birds than birds are to each other.

We would like to have more smaller song birds in our neighborhood but the crows and ravens raid the nests. Life in a habitat is not pretty. Often it's "bird eat bird."

What am I going to be doing in two years!  I'll actually be done my undergrad for good, and have no clue what to do!  Should I be looking now, or stick with teaching/accompanying.  I'm a little scared!!

I'm wondering why they don't build a better exterior on the shuttle instead of having to spend all that time inspecting the outside for things that have fallen off.  Maybe that's part of the reason they're retiring them.  It kind of sounds like driving somewhere and then having to inspect your car to see what fell off.  Too much extra work.

[littletune]

Well actually I have been thinking now if Thal and Alistair are really arguing like for real or not so for real  Cause I don't want them to argue, cause I kinda like them both... 

And I'm also thinking about one sign that is written over one note in the sheet music for one piece I'm learning. And I don't know what it's supposed to mean... it looks kinda like a curly line... or a wave maybe.....  but i have no idea what it means... maybe I'll take a picture and post it.

[Bob]

An S with dots? 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dal_Segno

If that's it, it means to go back to "the sign" (instead of "the top"/Da Capo) and then you play up to the coda/bull's eye sign and take that to the end.

[Bob]

I don't think a regular acoustic piano would work too well in space.  The mechanisms inside and the need to let the hand drop.

[littletune]

Thanks Bob for answering! I didn't mean that sign (although I didn't know what that means either, so thanks for explaining)
I meant this:



That sign above the 3.

That's a little trill. In this case you play it f-g-f. So instead of the single f you play f-g-f and then the e. It will sound almost like a triplet.

Located between concrete buildings and kebab shops...

It's been a long while since my last time in Europe, and I kept wonder: are there so many kebab shops now?!?
Best regards,

In some places, too many. In other places too few. Some mix meats and others don't. It's either a kebab jungle out there or a wasteland.

Thank you very much Wolfi!    How do you know that it's exactly f-g-f... I mean cause it doesn't say anywhere... how can you know it's not f-e-f or something like that  Is it always the same?

[littletune]

Oh yesterday (or today  ) it was exactly 2 years since my cat found us... she was sooo little and a little sick...I'm soooooooo happy she found us!
She was like this then:

I can't stop thinking about why I didn't candidate for a classical music gymnasium. Now I'm gonna be stucked three years  with "natural science focusing on math and computer science".
WHY didn't I candidate for this gymnasium with a class for classical pianists?

A trill is a quick alternation between a note and the note above. Either it starts on the main note or on the note above (the so called auxiliary note) as often in Mozart and Haydn. But here it's clear from the context that it has to start from the main note.
f-e-f would be a mordent, a quick alternation with the note below, which has a different sign: it looks the same but has a straight line through it.

[Bob]

Looks like that cat got paperclipped.

Almost looks fake.   But it does look a lot like Gizmo.

Thanks Wolfi for explaining everything! Not that I didn't believe you before or something, I just wanted to know how you know

Maybe I was bitten by a radioactive spider and had super senses enough to see what was about to happen there.  *Bob thinks there must be a lot of potential Spiderpeople in Japan now.*

What kind of crunchy food?  Are these chips?  *Bob breaks out a jar of salsa he always carries around.*  Mm....

awwww ... look at Bob go, folks.  He thinks he's not in a paperclip ... how cute.

What is tempo, what is 'pulse', if your world of music exists in a land without time? 

[Bob]

Non-issues?

[littletune]

But does land without time even exist? I mean maybe without time like it is in our universe... but then maybe it's some other kind of time  cause I think time is existing... so it could be a different kind of time but if something would exist then there would have to be some kind of time...

And not that there would have to be time for something to exist... but like... when something exists it is creating time by existing...  it's creating a new dimension! and time is a dimension... like the space dimensions are like dimensions where we exist and then when we exist we are creating the time dimension... and that's why we can't move through it as through space cause we are kinda trapped in it, cause we're only just creating it.... you know you know like as if we would be digging a tunnel or something and there would be a lot of people behing us and we could only move forward just cause there would be no space to go back (because of all the people behind us) except in time there are not other people behind us... but we're behind us... I mean we in the past... 
... except maybe when we die... then maybe we can be all that at the same time... so maybe that's when there's no time... but then maybe we can start creatng a new dimension again...

Oh well something like that 

[oxy60]

Wow, pretty deep stuff Littletune. And I thought all the deep thinkers went to another forum.

Internally don't we exist in a timeless world? At any given moment we can bring up actions and thoughts from the past and use them today. Doesn't that make the present the past and the past the present?

And Bob, I would prefer to make a change that I can control rather than depend on someone else (the cashier) to make it for me. If I make it I know what I am getting. I will never know what I might get from someone else.

[littletune]

Thank you Oxy!    Yes that's true!  And sometimes we can even predict the future!   

[m1469]

But does land without time even exist?

It does if you create one .

[littletune]

It does if you create one .

Yes you're right!   

[pianowolfi]

Timelessness and creativity might be pretty much related...
