Those who know me here, at least a little, will wonder what I am doing in this community. Why I am knocking at the doors of Rant, Complain, Talk community?
Although I am not always 100 per cent positive, and I don't see life only through pink glasses, I try to bring nice things to this blockchain. After all, I live in a beautiful place, the sun, the sea, the mountains... whatever I want. The family I love, a nice job, although there is little left of the job. Fear and general hysteria, always some new measures, lead to the reality that my earnings are halved... And it has been going on for almost a year now. And I can't control it. But wait, it was not supposed to enter in this post. So, forget this part.
Just a misleading photo from the topic...the almond trees are in blossom here
Somehow I never liked to complain. Also, I didn't like to listen when others complained, especially when I was a child. Well, maybe I can forgive that, the situation was such that nothing else was left for people, just to complain. Nothing left. Whether the topic was politics, war, disease, death, hunger, inflation, again war... that has become the main feature of every conversation of adults. That's probably why I avoid rant so much now. But look, here I am today in rant community. Maybe just to have fun? You can not know until the end of this text.
So, my first rant is just coming. I am stuck a little bit. With my music posts. First of all, there are many layers here on which a decent music post depends. The first step is to have inspiration on what to play. I do care what I perform and what I give to the listeners. Maybe I could produce posts like on an industrial tape, play along with recorded music, and not think much. But it's not my style. I like to think about what I'm going to prepare. To choose, and then I just start practising. But therein lies the mystery, because not all compositions are of the same level. I can learn something quickly, but there are those compositions that I have been rehearsing since November. Yes, since November, and now we are in February. The idea came through a conversation with one hive user ... I promised a post with that composer, Tchaikovsky, and I chose one cool work. But I got stuck. It is starting to be ok, but it’s not perfect, and I won’t post as long as there are random mistakes.
My practicing session yesterday... didn't finish very well
Let's go back to my post making process.
Once I have learned a composition, I have to record it, but I have just a phone to do it. (There is a surprise that will be introduced in some weeks, as I got a present that can help improve the quality of the recordings, but this will be another story). So I recorded yesterday a nice - not classical music song. But, there can be heard an annoying sound of keys on the piano as I play, there is no clear sound and the light was not suitable. Time wasted, video wasted.
The next step is the research. To provide more information, of the composer of the piece, and if there is an interesting fact about it. Writing a text, (not to be just 1-minute read), and fill it with some photo. Thinking it better, I could quadruple the number of words writing in languages I speak equally. But I will stick to English, although it takes me hours to write something it can be read. So yes, I am stuck because I expect too much from myself.
Rant two. These days my thumb has started to hurt. Maybe because of playing the piano or holding a cell phone, but some weird pain is there. Now I write from a laptop, I also use a special keyboard because of the position of my hand. And to come at a bad time is another matter. Imagine, I signed up for the Engagement League list yesterday. I was curious whether I am close to the first 100 super cool engaging guys and girls here in hive. I have no idea, so I want to see. But my thumb, ugh. If I don't make any good, into first 100, I will blame my hurting finger, lol.
Dust on laptop keyboard... should be used more
Should I continue? I don't want to disappoint any of you who want to read some good rant, with some strong words. However, I never ever use any of them, even if I am very mad or nervous. So how could I wrap well the next half-frustration? What the heck? Is it correct? So, yesterday my husband asked me if I want to power up some hive for the Hive Power Up Day. Of course, I sometimes do that even if it is not the first of a month, but this month I didn't have so many tokens to power up, as I wanted to have some spare ones when I want to tip someone, for example. But I made a trade with him. I gave him yesterday my HBD to exchange for me into hive tokens, and power up it in the morning...or at least during the day. And here I am, midnight 01.00 already passed, so here comes my what the heck? Am I still writing this nonsense rant text? How slow I am. But, the power up is done, this time 200 hive.
Will this post end, ever??
Whatever. I don't want to write whatever posts, it is just the inscription in a plaster artwork found in my town. So, was it a good rant? I don't think so, as, after all, I will again try to find good things in all of them. Music posts? They will come and improve. Hurting thumb? It will be better, we are each day younger and younger... Aren't we? Hive to power up? There will be sometimes more, sometimes less. But I will not make any conclusions here at the end, just that maybe it was an unexpected behavior of me. It is weird enough I wrote here, but for the sake of diversity, I had to try it, right? Disfruta - Enjoy!
