    some thoughts on classical music

    in Classical

    Posted

    I played in a full symphony orchestra for about 6 years. Definitely one of the finer things I've done. The composing is genius, rarely if ever found in today's composers.

    I've also played in a heavy metal band and now listen to RnB, rap, and trance, so I think I've had a pretty good spectrum of exposure. Nothing can compete with the technicality, melodies, and development that classical music brings. And it soothes the soul.

    Maybe some of the "elite" at the symphony concerts are there for show, but I bet 90% then are trul classical music lovers with a good education on the history of the genre...

    If the CSO wasn't so damn expensive, I'd be there more often too...!

    SP 2

    in App Talk

    Posted

    I finally put SP2 on my old 1.3GHz 256MB machine with a full XP reinstall. Yeah, that new security center is beefy and prominent now... And I turned off the firewall as well, and then you have to turn off XP even "checking" for it, otherwise you get warnings. I basically found the button that says I want to disable the firewall and I don't want you to tell me that it's off either. Ever.

    And now we've been happy ever since.

    But - now I read your post and find that there are extra services enabled? Like what? I'll admit I only went through the services to make sure that the messenger was disabled, but didn't check for anything else...

    Otherwise though, everything seems good and even Bittorrent seems to be even faster. Without all of the false hype that SP2 limits your connections.

    11 Year Old Girl Suspended for Doing Cartwheels

    in General News

    Posted

    My wife works at a school where a 5th grader brought a gun to show off at school last month.

    He got suspended for 2 weeks. That's it.

    The gun supposedly wasn't loaded but he had loose ammo in his bag too.

    Cartwheels, guns to school, in the same sentence as a suspension?

    Where's the consistency and why isn't this little brat expelled from my wife's school? Do you think it's different if a 5th grader brings a gun?

    Ja Rule Prepares Comeback Album

    in Music & Entertainment News

    Posted

    I've really enjoyed the Ja Rule/Murder Inc vs 50, Eminem, Busta, and DMX... funny shit. Rap just sounds better when you're dissing somebody, and Ja was clearly on the losing end of those battles over the last year or two.

    He's lost a lot of credibility imo but he may have a following left in the pop world, but not rap... :partae:

    wassa matter Ken, you disapprove of parties? or just real-g's? :lol:

    bday party tonight @ Ruth's Chris - tomorrow at least in the Midwest we roll back one hour on the clocks, so there's one extra hour of partying for Saturday night for daylight savings and drinking in costumes, Sunday is NFL day @ my dad-in-law's.... at least the Green Bay game will be on... Bears are on later...

    Did you guys know that the outcome of Washington Redskins football games has correctly predicted the winner of every U.S. presidential election since 1936?

    The Redskins have proved to be a time-tested election predictor. In the previous 15 elections, if the Skins have lost their last home game prior to the election, the incumbent party has lost the White House. When they have won, the incumbent has stayed in power.

    This election year, that deciding game takes place on Sunday, October 31 ... vs. Green Bay.

    So all you libs and Bush-haters need to be rooting for ol' GB! no... not George Bush but the Green Bay Packers!
