Beginning of the end

I will post fragments of my journal here for you all to enjoy. A peak into my life.


At the moment my life consists of three things.

1. Prepare for your graduation recital.
2. Finish your orchestra piece on time.
3. Graduate with top honors.

Forgive me for being one track minded but that seems to be the way it goes. I have to eliminate tasks one at a time. I am new to this blog thing, so I am not going to have very many fancy images or links. Kevin's blog is filled with that crap. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it sooner or later.

I often wonder if I am going to be able to keep myself together during these next 20 days. oop, make that 18 days. I have some work to do, but alas... things keep coming up, and I keep wasting my time. A time will come when I will pray for the time I have wasted. Oh well. Speaking of wasted time... I mixed and mastered the Bison Men's Xmas cd today. They sound pretty good! When I'm 0ld I'd love to be in their group, but rightnow, i'm glad I excaped. Nothing against them, they are a great bunch of crazy old guys. A few in particular make that extra effort to reach out to the students. Much appreciated!

Looks like I'm gonna be in the new music festival again this year. This time I'll be having a work performed at the millennium center. I don't know what that is going to be about... It seems the new music festival wants to look hip and fresh with the up and coming composers. Do you know that a Young composer is anybody under 50? DAMN! What am I then? A shitty hack who needs to bust his ass for another 20 years? Exactly!

Borisa has hooked us up with some playing gigs around the city. I did one last weekend, it was great! Loads of fun. I have some great recordings of it. When I get some web space, I'll have snazy audio examples of my stuff. I've always wanted to do some live electronica. I would love to get some interesting material together but i'm too busy. Life is cruel. Also, I am submitting some stuff to a competition in toronto. Perhaps I'll get accepted and have to turn it down cuz I have no fuckin time!

Time... expanding to infinity in both directions, but there's never enough.
