pro: crastination

here's a pro: doing stuff well
here's a con: it takes a lot of effort

here's a pro: you pick up your instrument to practice
here's a con: the alarming pain in your wrist from rsi makes you procrastinate

here's a pro: you open up google and start researching
here's a con: you start distracting yourself...possibly with youtube or music hunting

here's a pro: you sit on the couch/bed to read
here's a con: you're exhausted from anemia, insomnia and watching the world cup...and pass out

story of my life.

however, i always get things done anyway cos i have a black belt in awesome. i make the impossible...POSSIMPLEBLE. (thank you barney stinson)

just as reliable as phillip lahm...ah yes.

music theory

doing the theory for music exams may well be one of the most torturous and blandest tasks you could ever have to do. like chewing sawdust.

sure i am very interested in music, all the history, styles and techniques. but when you have a massive load of it to do, it is...quite frankly...death. think of all the frickin repertoire. now for every piece, you have to go through and find, learn and memorise all the theory.
you could say
i can't handle handel.
i don't want you bach. (but i do want michael jackson back)
i wanna play miriam hyde and seek but without the seek.
i say you should telemann to go already.

and all for a piece of paper with different grades of music qualifications...
exams...end!
