I really, really appreciate the offer, and I am really tempted! It would be nice to get away from Rochester, and of course I'd love to be around you and Tyson. But I probably would stop playing the flute altogether, which wouldn't be good. I'm going to stay in Rochester so I can take lessons and play with my quintet and perform in nursing homes and stuff. But I definitely would love to come out and visit sometime, and of course you and Tyson would be more than welcome to come and visit me anytime!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29654849.post-57208113296844446172007-01-16T15:39:00.000-07:002007-01-16T15:39:00.000-07:00Listen: you're not alone.

And while a tendency to laziness might be genetic, I don't think we're the only two people in the world who behave this way. I have decided in the last few months that I'm tired of feeling like I'm alone in this and other habits that make me feel lazy and unsatisfied. And since then, I've been surprised at how many people can relate. So, it's funny I guess that your post is timely.<br /><br />Anyway, my point is that I do the same thing, except I don't even bother to aspire to do things I know I don't want to do anymore. I have a hard enough time aspiring to do things I was pretty sure I did like (I mean, other than watching TV and cooking). I do this with the flute, which is awful, because I apparently enjoy the flute, or else I would have stopped by now, and still every semester, I foolishly think to myself, "I'm going to practice like eight hours a day, every day, starting tomorrow! Watch me! Yeah!" And so.<br /><br />Anyway, I discovered over Christmas break that this (and other stuff) was bothering me so much that I'm taking the semester off. I'm on a mission to figure out why I act like that.<br /><br />So. That's that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
