okay, so I haven't posted in awhile. But here's the thing. I need to get something off of my chest. It's probably silly and it probably bothers no one else. In fact it might offend some people that it offends me so much that people do this so I'll try to be nice about it. So, I'm sitting in orchestra, and I'm trying to get all the right notes and watch and follow the Dean, but all I can consentrate on is that damn foot behind me tapping away at the floor. I don't understand! I tap my toe inside my shoe so it distrubs no one. You should learn how to do that, it's not that hard. Foot taping in orchestra and band should be grounds for termination from the Earth. It probably wouldn't bother me so much if we didn't have a hollow floor that anytime something moves the enitre floor feels it, or maybe if the foot would tap at the same tempo as the conductor, but it never does. Everyone has a different tempo going on when there should be one constant. Think in your head, tap your pinky toe, even nod your body... but please STOP slamming your foot on the ground! Thank You!

P.S.- any good names for a facebook group based on this?

I realized something. Maybe I always new it, but this says it so well.

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying." - Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy)
