...we say for sure

Thank god.

“For Sure”

whatsdifferentincanada:

Means “definitely.” Acceptable for adults to use. ex. “Are you for sure going to that event?” Sounds like “fer sher.”

What?!? Americans don’t say “for sure”?

“Are you fer sher that they don’t say that? I don’t believe it.”

Wow.

Is the clarinet a difficult instrument?

Yes :’(
There are definitely instruments that are more difficult both technically and to produce good tone on, but usually the repertoire demands what is appropriate for each instrument so they are all ~sort of~ equally difficult.
Clarinet is a mix between having the insane difficult repertoire of flutes and the reed problems of the double reed instruments. It is demanded that a clarinetist be incredibly versatile in style and tone. 
It probably isn’t one of the more difficult instruments to play I guess, but that means it’s more competitive and the standard of performance is ridiculously high.  

I had too much gin. But I’m going to go on my walk anyway. I need the fresh air, even if it’s almost 11pm.

You guys should leave me asks! About anything! Life or music or me or you know. The usual. laaaalala. And stuff.

I can’t type goodbue brcause where are the y and e keys. jk i found them.  

My Friday Night

Practiced until 9pm. Now for some dark chocolate, some (a fair amount) of gin, good music and a walk in the rain.
This is somewhat therapeutic, as I’ve been rather uneasy and absurdly existential lately. 

I think I’m at peace with everything for the moment.  

We should always remember that sensitiveness and emotion constitute the real content of a work of art.

As an introvert, you can be your own best friend or your own worst enemy. The good news is, we generally like our own company, a quality that extroverts often envy. We find comfort in solitude and know how to soothe ourselves. Even our willingness to look at ourselves critically is often helpful.
