I. HATE. piano

yes sir. i do. last night i did the worst re write of a Tchaikovsky piece you can ever hope not to hear. i played the first notes well enough =) but then i looked down at my hands to change position, and when i looked back up i had lost where i was. so i was like ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!! so i pounded away at related chords until i found my place, hoping no one would notice. it was MISERABLE. i plyed the whole first page wrong. but i got my other two songs good-ish. so that was cool. but......ugh. i bombed the first one.

dude it was so cool getting to do the pictures for the JCC stingrays this year. it was like awesome to get to make a product for people, that, if done correctly, they'd want to hold on to, and it would serve to remind them something amazing they've accomplished. hanging out with these kids was like super cool. seeing them come from not really knowing what the heck they're doing out there to competing and winning....beating other kids....and seeing the looks on their faces when they did....that was cool. you can see some of the pictures at www.flickr.com/photos/never_surrender

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless, like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright

Chorus:
'Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what your made of
You might bend 'til you break
'Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe you hands, shake it off
Then you stand, then you stand

Life's like a novel with end ripped out
The edge of a canyon with only one way down
Take what your given before it's gone
And start holdin' on, keep holdin' on

(Repeat chorus)

Every time you get up and get back in the race
One more small piece of you starts to fall into place - yeah
