That is a gigantic list compared to my list:

- Study in school

That's it. =P

BlazingDragon 2012-09-20 10:40:54

Ah, I envy you right now. :p

I think that I'm so free over the summer that I respond by doing every conceivable activity during the school year, lol.

Troisnyx 2012-09-20 11:54:28

I wholeheartedly understand. My list involves:

- Moving house
- Doing stuff for the NGADM
- Doing stuff with the gospel band (Kingdom of Herts)
- Legal Practice Course
- Student visa extension (this should hint at the fact that I'm not originally Brit)
- Handling the organ at Mass on alternative Sundays
- Being sick >_<

I'm glad that you are keeping your head above the water -- but I will be keeping you in my prayers nonetheless. These are times where both of us need all the encouragement we can get. x

BlazingDragon 2012-09-20 11:54:28

Thanks for the much needed encouragement. Your entries throughout the entire NGADM have been amazing, and I can't wait to hear what music you put out in the future. :)

Moving to Munich, eh? Have fun at Oktoberfest for me! :D

Your list is very exciting. I LOVE the Rachmaninov prelude's and wish that I was skilled enough to play them! Best of luck with everything you are keeping up with.

Hey man, let wanted to let you know keep up the good work. Your music's a source of inspiration and energy that keeps me going through med school when workload is high and times get tough. Would love sheet music for all your piano music. I performed Story Left Untold at our Med Revue and it was a pretty huge hit. :)

BlazingDragon 2012-10-02 05:25:50

Wow, thank you for performing my piece!!! :0 It's long been a dream that someone else would enjoy my music enough to learn and play it. I wish I could have been at your Med Revue.

And I'm very happy to hear that my music inspires you. I may not have won the NGADM, but that's not a big deal to me. What I find important are things like this; lives being enhanced through music. Thanks for letting me know.

Amazing piece you've made for NGADM R4. It's really hard to decide who's better: you or Kor-Rune, since both pieces are absolutely amazing - one involving emotions while the other a relaxing atmosphere...

BlazingDragon 2012-10-07 08:29:36

Thanks Criminal! As I thought about both pieces, I decided that it would ultimately come down to the personal tastes of the judges. Kor-Rune's piece has amazing production, vocals, real instruments, and killer performance. I feel like mine is more emotionally driven, complex, and compositionally satisfying though. I think both pieces are pretty much equal when considering all the different factors, but he won in the end. I'm happy to have made it this far.

Man, that's a lot between work and school! I had a job during my first semester of college and it about killed me. Are you in high school or college?

flasmasta12 2012-10-29 16:04:41

I'm in a private college, intensive programming thingy (Not sure how to name this, English isn't my first language :/ ), Basically a 3-year public program throught 12 months. And yes, If I don't find any money elsewhere, It will kill me. -_- Sorry for late answer X) I was busy, Exam week. ^^
