amaranth_todd wrote on Dec 9th, 2009 5:51amExcuse my semi-long-ish tie to reply as well. I've been busy with a shitload of events leading up to Christmas, specificly busking. Our band is recording a CD next week, so I'm pretty excited (except for the fact that my tenor sax hasn't been serviced in a year and seems to like annoying me by haemorrhaging spit from the top few keys).
Yeah, I guess if its a step in the right direction for what you want to do, then its a great idea. Seeing as I dont know where I'm headed in life, I figure its good to have all my bases covered subject-wise so that even if I change my mind somewhere along the track there is little chance of having to study new subjects to qualify for the course.
And I dont blame you for looking at the army as a way for profit with minimal effort etc. I think thats exactly how the government wants us to see it as, so people will join. But its not a bad thing, really. I guess what the army teaches is probably more valuable in life than what is taught in the final years of school : quote |
amaranth_todd wrote on Nov 23rd, 2009 6:49amMeh, I hardly touch my acoustic either, except to tab guitar parts for songs. Other than that its just collecting dust in the corner of this room 
Pearl Jam? Lucky you! How were they? I knew a few people who wanted to see them but they couldn't for one reason or another.
Now that you put it that way, philosophy does sound kinda valuable, unlike the Pit who seem to bag the crap out of it as a subject whenever its menioned :
And really, I don't think the army is too bad. I've seen what it does for some people and the results are amazing I've also considered taking up nursing with the army, but considering is about as far as I've got. Knowing me it'll get to the end of year 12 and I still wont know what the hell I'm doing. quote |
amaranth_todd wrote on Nov 22nd, 2009 11:03pmYes, obscure instruments FTW! Although I wouldn't call bass obscure, but people who play bass and not guitar are definitely less common. I, for one, are also one of those people who play bass and cant play guitar for shit :
I was supposed to see Dream Theater with a group of friends, and my parents were still kinda thingy about it. I don't blame them though, seeing as I'm less than 5'2 anyway. And I say "supposed to" because we had some issues getting the tickets, so I decided that it should be me who would miss out.
It sounds like you've really thought about where you're going in life. Good on you! Philosophy sounds really interesting as a subject, although I'm not sure where it would take you in life. But then again, I've never really looked into philosophy that much. And I guess the army isn't too bad either. A friend of mine is in the army and has a scholarship or something similar to complete year 12. I guess it only really sucks if you get sent off to war, as my martial arts instructor just has quote |
amaranth_todd wrote on Nov 19th, 2009 9:46pmTalent, maybe, but more like the right connections and the right instruments. Apparently female baritone sax players are hard to come by these days, even though nearly every baritone player I know is female 
lol at least you've been to a gig. The last gig I went to was the Wiggles when I was 3. Whats especially hard is seeing your favourite bands move through the country knowing you wont see them because of paranoid parents who think you will get kidnapped or raped if you go 
I would definitely like a career in music, but I'm not sure if I'd ever make anything of it. I'll be doing some subject on music in uni or tafe, along with nursing. Nursing is my backup option How about you? quote |

Any other impressive gigs on the horizon? |
lol you dont really have to be great at your instrument when you play jazz. You can play basicly anything and get away with it, as long as your confident I'd say the proper term is "bullshitting" :
Well, I think that there are two other festivals our band is attending in the next two months around Victoria. There also might be a gig in the city for Yarra Trams with the big band I'm in, which I'm not too happy about. I have the school's social and Dream Theater on the same weekend, and had to miss out on both for the damn gig

Yeah, these last few months have been pretty good actually, things have been on the up and up, no major complaints. Been easing away from the choof and the booze, and been hitting the gym, so the body is on the improve as well as the mind haha.
How have you been? And thank you for checking up by the way, was a very pleasant surprise , always nice to meet the decent people here |
Thats good to know Excersise is an excellent stress-release. Its half the reason I continue doing martial arts :
I pretty good myself. I've just finished year 11 altogether and have at least 2 and a half months holidays I also have plenty of gigs to last the rest of this year, including a few days at a major jazz festival in Melbourne between Christmas and new year. So I'm pretty excited. Anything exciting lined up for you in these next few months?

Hey dude, I'm Pat... you seem like a really interesting and intelligent guy, and I thought I may as well comment and apparently kiss your arse haha. Plus, you haven't got a comment for '09, so I have taken your '09 virginity. |
You commented me ages ago, but I never check my profile so I just saw it now. I'm an asshole on the internet, what can I say? Probably something like "Thanks Pat, how's it going man?"
