    The Problem With Piano Lessons

    Some teachers don't emphasize the rhythm part. Well, I took piano as a kid but didn't understand rhythm until I later took drums. Anyway, those in any sort of school band class will learn timing, regardless of the instrument.

    Do you still rent books?

    At US colleges and universities there are book rentals due to the high cost of textbooks, which for many students, who usually are in their teens or early 20s, is a lot to deal with. Anyhow, myself, I don't rent books since I've been out of university.

    I have one bank account now. Well, before I had two and then for awhile I had money come to a card. Anyway, an advantage with a bank account is you can use it to borrow money

    Do you like using subtitles?

    I don't like it for TV or movies. However, sometimes it's good for instructional internet videos when you can't understand them and/or you got no headphones at the library.

    Paying attention to reviews

    I don't. I don't think the reviews are always right, but sometimes they are. Well, some movies, like Cabin Boy, were funny, but critics hated it. Anyone know more like that?

    Moving to Nashville, New York etc. to Make it in Music

    I think you gotta pay your dues to sing the blues. Well, in my case, I haven't played in bands since high school. In fact, I could even get a popular music website, but still there's the elephant in the room, the what-if. You can't escape competition, but you gotta be brave enough to...

    What's your opinion about rap songs?

    Anyone else find baseball boring?

    It does have a relaxing quality on TV. It's like watching golf. Anyway, as I said, before maybe people aren't watching it the right way. They need to "be into baseball".

    Favorite sport to watch on TV?

    I suppose it's cause of the association of American Football with holidays.

    Do you play any sports?

    I don't play any at the moment. However, it would be cool to get back into soccer, floor hockey, and miniature golf, if possible.

    Favorite Athlete?

    I've always admired Michael Jordan. He seems like a genuinely nice and humble dude. Anyway, my opinions were especially formed by watching Space Jam.
