Jesus, don't scare me like that! My mind was racing as to which mod had died...

Why must you torment me? =..(

EDIT: I'm impressed, Boe. The story with Matt, especially, almost brought tears to my eyes. I don't know how you did it, but this conglomeration of seemingly unrelated events somehow melds into a bigger story with greater meaning than the sum. That description doesn't make much sense, but that's how I feel it.

Keep on truckin'!

Enjoyed your blog, as always but for a different reason.
It's nice to see you putting everything out like that... such a whirlwind of things happening but I hope it all works out okay. You know I'll be praying for your surgery~

boesthius you're awesome : ) Always enjoy your posts and your contributions on that Smix thread are easily some of my favourite posts on TL.

A classical composer hey? That's pretty cool. I know how it is losing that motivation and questioning whether you're doing what you're 'supposed' to be doing. I switched courses after almost 3 years and it was a pretty tough decision. In the end I decided that I could always finish that degree later, the credit of studying all the units I had already wouldn't just disappear. I took 6 months off before deciding which helped a lot.

good luck with the surgery, though you probably won't need it!
also, i hope you'll be able to find inspiration for composing again!

Man....


Seeing him on Saturday brought me to tears - which is really hard for me, as it’s been harder for me to get emotional lately. I saw him sitting in the chair next to Brenda and while they said he would have a hard time remember who I was, he immediately recognized me as his suitemate and I gave him the biggest hug of my life. While he’s still having a hard time speaking fluently, we talked for a good while before I hung out with the rest of my friends from my old university. Apparently no one knew that I was in town still, even though I told them multiple times over summer. Nonetheless, going from vegetation to jumping in the pool and wrestling with us was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever witnessed. And when Brenda told me next that they’ve been dating and are engaged now, I was completely blown away. She’s apparently been by his side since the accident and they’ve formed the most insane bond that I have a hard time explaining; and I envy so much.

Something beautiful has been forged through something horrific, and just thinking about it makes me emotional.


That's awesome that this Matt person is getting better and recovering from such a terrible accident. Seriously, I wish him well, a stranger he may be.

awwwwwwwwwwww I love you boes :3

I hope your friend Matt keeps the nice recovery up and I hope your surgery goes well. I don't even know how to pray and I'll pray for you <3. Do what you love to do, if your interest hasn't peaked from musical studies like you thought then perhaps you should play around in some other studies(cookingggggggg om nom nom). I hope you enjoy the new place you are moving in to, it sounds like it'll be a whole wack of fun. When I can afford it in the future I'm coming down to visit you guys

This thread makes me feel guilty that I bug you for music on a regular basis T.T you've never been anything but kind to me and we've only spoken maybe 15 sentences to each other through your stream IRC or on PM's. You're a good guy I know that much just from those 15 sentences, but I don't think someone would need more than 5 sentences to know that.

Yeah, I also tried ending the explorer.exe process while BW is running as well as pretty much every other recommendation in the threads regarding it.

Totally feel you man, played guitar like obsessed for like 8 years.. still about a year ago I was great but... didn´t just feel like anything. So now I´m selling my guitar and getting a violin and playing piano...because it just feels right. Used to be somekinda metalhead too...BAM, in three weeks all has changed, or I just let it change. Feels good though...embrace the change!

Also composing is goddamn hard when you know that you can do great music...you will push yourself too hard and then it just doesn´t feel natural ==> so you just give up and think you are lazy.
It´s the same for almost all talented and clever people: letting go of your shit is too hard.

I was glad to enjoy the pleasure of playing some bw with you guys every now and then.

It's interesting how something simple like "glhf" can be so seemingly insignificant but its really what I feel like is the perfect thing to say when it comes to living life. Good luck and have fun :D

I'm going to have to have surgery soon, and I have no qualms with this idea. I have to go under the knife to eradicate an abscess that is deeply rooted in my lower back. It's not the first time I've had surgery, I had to have surgery on my right shoulder for a basketball injury. To be honest, I'm really not scared at all. Going under isn't that frightening and I know I'll be in good hands throughout the entire ordeal. It's something that needs to be done, and I'll end up benefiting greatly in the end.
