Widor and I have a Thing

For those of you illiterate when it comes to everything organ,
(it's okay, I once was too) Charles-Marie Widor is my favoritest organ composer. We are totally in love, even if he's dead. I am currently listening to his Allegro, From Sixth Symphony. It is my goal piece, and it's also very moving. Look it up on youtube. It's totally worth it. (I'm not a big fan of the frequent change in volume of that version, but you get the idea)

All right, now that we've got that burst of nerdiness behind us...

I didn't make it to my birthday. I'm back on facebook... I forgot how angry it made me. Oh well.

I was falling asleep last night at 8:30 because I was mad and exhausted and peeved and feeling ganged up on and lonely and a bit depressed when I had one of those wonderful epiphanies you get every so often. Want to hear about it?

There's meaning behind everything. Okay, everybody knows that, but seriously. You know, there's probably a reason I love The Beatles. I probably will be in the middle of making some serious life decisions when a Beatles song will come on and make the decision for me. They probably have some lyric somewhere that will hit home and keep me from doing something terribly horrid. Or terrid, like Creedence would say. :) I probably am head over heals in love with the organ for some reason beyond what you can see on the outside. Honestly, I couldn't tell you why I love the organ so much. I love the challenge, I love the contrast and color it brings to a single piece of music, I love the mathematics behind the sounds it makes, I love the emotion, but that's not REALLY why I like it. I don't know, I just do. Maybe there are some people I need to meet, some life I need to touch, some lesson I need to learn by playing the organ. I have no idea... but there are definitely some people I couldn't imagine or bear life without who I would've never met if it hadn't been for the organ.

I had a lot more I wanted to add to this list last night, but... that was 23 hours ago. Thanks for listening.

Happy Cyber Monday!
