Politeness is fictitious benevolence.
I have a bunch of albums I would love to get re-released.
My background was in performing originally.
I decided during my teens that I wasn't going to have the life of a concert pianist, much to the chagrin of a lot of people who had put a lot of money into me!
Someone skipped on the rent and they left behind a huge upright piano, which got moved into our apartment so the other apartment could get rented out. I took to it and started playing.
I used to perform all the time but I haven't performed in New York in a very long time.
I'm lucky to be in a profession where you can keep getting better.
Which is worse, past or future? Neither. I will fold up my mind like a leaf and drift on this stream over the brink.
Don't take too much advice. Most people who have a lot of advice to give ~ with a few exceptions ~ generalize whatever they did. Don't over-analyze everything. I myself have been guilty of over-thinking problems. Just build things and find out if they work.
The less people know about me in reality, the more they can accept of me as a character.
We discover in the gospels a groundwork of vulgar ignorance, of things impossible, of superstition, fanaticism and fabrication.
