the metronome.

i have had the urge to play the piano a lot lately. it helps me think, process, analyze. it sets the tempo for your thoughts, almost leading them along as your thought process falls naturally into place. perhaps that's just me.

maybe that will end up being my niche once i start my career of some sort. instead of words, ideas will rhythmically fall into place in artistic form, as my marketing/design oriented mindset send ideas simply flying to the tempo of a piano. of course, they would be completely unconventional and rebellious to any design norms as far as aesthetic is concerned. maybe i'll become a writer for some design firm. i'll have to email wexley. maybe i can move my way through the whole firm by the end of the summer, at the rate i'm going.

it feels so strange not being busy other than working. no homework any more, no all-nighters that aren't self-induced spent in the solemn white walls of the art center, scrambling to finish projects the professor decides aren't worth actually looking at. i usually spent most of those nights listening to rap/hip hop rather than piano music though, so perhaps that was my problem. action scripting probably would have been a breeze.... oh, hindsight.

pianos should really be in marching bands, i think. a baby grand planted half-field, the rest of the band circling around it, as the pianist comes in at just the right time with pounding accents and some relief from the brass section. i would enjoy that much more than your conventional college band at half time of a big game. switch things up a little bit i guess. then again, i'm all about the unconventional. i'd probably need an unconventional metronome then, to stay consistent.

who knows. who knows that i'm even talking about or if it's making any sense at all. i'm just rambling.

i'll take it.
