What Are You Thinking?

passion and love only lead to hurt and heartbreak.

i'm thinking that this isn't really the case - it's not love and passion, but the unreasonable *expectation* that the "desire" will never change, that brings about heartache.

expectation of a particular outcome/result is the ultimate cause of our suffering, imo. when one goes into something with no firm expectations, one is rarely disappointed. accepting that things are ever-changing, and learning to come to terms with that will always make life easier to live. taking things as they come, being thankful for the things in one's life while they're here, and accepting when it's time for things to change is the key, to me. life is impermanence...

why the hell do these parents think that because a kid is on probation that means that we can just take them out of the home with the quickness every time the kid does not listen? If that was the case everyone would put their kid in the system. Duh!!!!

To buy or not to buy...

A new dress? Or keep $80 in my bank? Hmm...

[prick]

True...but would you?

Nah just a little spanking maybe.

Those have got to be the absolute worst renditions of the Vivaldi's Le Quattro Stagioni I have EVER heard. Allegro non molto means "fast, but not much," NOT "transwarp drive!" It is generally accepted 100 8th notes a minute beat is the right speed. You don't blitzkreig through Winter's first movement like I go through sushi, you pompous frakking ninnies!

And what the hell is with the barking and wolfing of your instruments?! I have heard less harshness from a 5-year old playing the Suzuki Method!

Who the F*** taught you to play?! I would try to make a comparison to some poor crippled animal, but that would insult the animal and the disability, because they could play better than you!

Jascha Heifetz, Yehudi Menuhin, and Issac Stern must be rolling over in their graves when those are played.

“I occasionally play works by contemporary composers and for two reasons. First to discourage the composer from writing any more and secondly to remind myself how much I appreciate Beethoven.” --Jascha Heifetz :

“Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous” --Isaac Stern :jaming:

“Music is like making love: either all or nothing" --Isaac Stern

***Aside: As you can probably guess, I take my classical music VERY SERIOUSLY.***

passion and love only lead to hurt and heartbreak.

Never had it to miss it.

But passion for a purpose in life and a dream, that leads to a drive to succeed.

Maybe you have and not realized it yet.

There are many things in the world one maybe passionate about, other then a fabled version of romance.

Some are passionate about helping others. Some are passionate about art and it's many forms. There are some that are passionate about activism. Those are just a few examples, I'm sure the list can go on and on.

If you're a salaried worker yes.

If you're hourly, just think Overtime $

If it's a constant thing, as your doctor about getting a low dose of Buspar. Seems to be helping me for the most part, and I was having panic attacks everyday there for a while after dad got sick.

Buspar is wonderful. My anxiety was getting so bad that I would have an anxiety attack every time I had to leave the house. When I had to do presentations for my classes, I would almost hyperventilate while I was doing them. I would wake up in the middle of the night with an anxiety attack. All of that is gone now.

That's actually what I've been taking since the spring of my senior year of highschool.
