[COLOR="Red"][B]Question to all[/B][/COLOR]


What would you do if you needed to show a visual of rhythm? Like I meen what picture?

^
Write it out in music notation... (duh?)

[url]http://www.musictheory.net[/url] if you don't know how.


oh no pittb is what I meant...

Well I have a project and I need to show a picture of rythm(s), so do you meen show pictures of 16th notes and stuff like that?

.....


Write it out. That's what music notation is exactly for. The visual representation of rhythm.

Again -

If you don't know how to read or write music. Only need to pay attention tot he rhythmic side, as for drumset the various spaces and liens represent the different drumset voices, instead of different tonal values.

Yes I can write and read music. Thank you for helping.

Sydney/Wollongong, Australia.

I live in Wollongong but work in Sydney. They're the two major cities in NSW, Australia about two hours away from each other.

Im going to punch my biology teacher in the face

And why is that

Cool. I have a friend who has been in the Perth area for a few months and I guess the music scene there is pretty good.

Ahhh

2 hours each way? 4 hour commute... man that's harsh!

That does seem harsh. But then again I have literally a two minute drive to work.

Yeah, on a train which makes it worse. But I get to sleep and relax so it's kind of bearable. I do alot of writing on the train, which makes my day easier. That's why cocaberry pissed me off by saying that I can't drum because I work so much. People like him have it easy living at home under mummy and daddy's wing.. But yeah, I don't like trains anymore lol.

Yeah...I'm under Mummy and daddy's wing

I had a 3 hour (combined) commute to Musicians Institute via train. Hence why I actually slept in my practice lab many times. I can relate very well...

That's a harsh one though, have you considered moving closer for your job? 4 hours is a significant chunk of the day

I just bought an apartment 15 minutes further away! Honestly, I don't mind it. It's one of those neccesary annoyances everyone goes through where I live. Wollongong doesn't have a sustainable market for the majority of the locals so we all commute to the "big city up north." It's just a part of life that I'm used to. I'm very good at sleeping in any situation now.

EDIT: Bonham, there's nothing wrong with that if you respect what your parent's give you.

I just told my mom that I'm not opening a single present that she buys me for Christmas. I had total mixed emotions about it.

I told her that any present she bought me was gettign donated, as I'm not in a position where I need presents, nor do I really enjoy the idea of modern Christmas.

Hmm... I'll have to see how this resolves by Christmas time.

Ask her to make a donation on your behalf to a charity. When I have my 21st that's what I want everyone to do. Then it's tax deductable for her too.

Your a good man sic.
You too Aaron.
You too Lime.

I'll have to talk to her about it, because the last thing I want is to wake up Christmas morning, sit infront of boxes and say "I'm not opening these." Hopefully we can find an alternative that satisfies both of us.


I'm waiting for a phone call from the youth centre. She said she'd call today whether I got the job or not, but I expected she'd call during the day. I don't really want to go out and miss the call if she specifically told me she'd call today. Guess I'm stuck inside until then. :(

Yeah. Plus im 14

^ oh you are young! take all you can haha...

Ahh Aaron my man you gotta think about some things though. That's still your time, that can be used for many things. 4 hours+ is a absurd comute. plus 8 hours of work. That's 12 hours outta the day just work employment, that leaves like 2-4 of free time.. hours if you want 8 hours of sleep.

No person should work a 60 hour week... it's just a waste of life.




I think denying presents is just totally egotistical. You know, take the presents. And if you truly feel that way, then donate on your own accord the given value. But to make such a deal about, that just screams ego. The most charitable people, are the ones you don't even know about.

If your mom wants to give you a present, then accept that gift. She's giving it to you out of love and caring. To say you'll give that way, what is that? that's nonsense.

You want to give to charity, hey fantastic! But to put other people, who love you, who care about you, in a difficult position by defining such behaviors and ultimatems is totally selfish. AND! and! Totally being a jerk to those tryign to show their love and appreciation for you by giving you those gifts.

Get over yourself, get over that issue. You want to give those gifts away, fine. Do so in private, after the fact. That's what charity is. Notputting people who care about you in bad and uncomfotable postions to make yourself feel better.

You completely misunderstood what I was saying. It was in no way a "I hate my mom and I refuse to take anything from her". I meant it as in "I'd much rather see gifts go to those who can't afford [insert common gifts here], or those who really do celebrate Christmas as a holiday."

I said I don't like modern Christmas because the whole image of "love and caring" in the month coming up to the day is so saturated with sales that I don't think it's possible to tell between "love and caring" and "buy this person something or you obviously don't love them."

My mom buys me things out of nowhere throughout the year (a couple pairs of socks here, a meal there, etc.) and I'm extremely grateful for those, but I'd rather not participate in Christmas the way it is now in our culture.

There was no big deal made. To be honest, it came about while my mom was watching Oprah while we ate supper. Whatever bank it was gave people $1,000 to "spend on someone else", and I told her that 90% of those people are going to buy their friend a purse or something of the sort. She asked why I thought that and I said it's because people are too materialistic even while donating, to just "give" it away to charity. Even to charities in America, people are too materialistic and need to show people they donated. (Livestrong bracelets, breast cancer ribbons, etc.)

I don't want to get in a heated debate on my beliefs on receiving gifts that I obviously haven't needed enough that I haven't gone out and bought them myself. I said that I hope me and my mom can "resolve" the issue so it doesn't end up like you obviously think I want it to end up.

Anyways, that's it.

Sounds extrememlly egotistical to me. I haven't the time to point out why.. but here's a simple lesson for life -


If your mom wants to buy you a gift, and it makes her happy. Who are you to take that happiness away from her?

Who are you to decide what her reasons are inside her head for buying a gift for you? Can you read minds? Do you not think your mother has been around for some time? She's got more expereince then you kid. She brought you into this world, you were a baby when she was an adult.

Get it? You don't know something she doesn't. She knew all of that before you were born. You are pointingout the obvious, preaching to the choir, telling the cow it's black and white... everyone already knows that stuff. The only thing you are doing, is sadly, attempting to make yourself feel better at the recall of someones attempt to show carign for you out of gifts. So what if it's a regoinzed day and corperations take advantage of it? So what if "90% of htose people " do what they do. Are you saying your mom is one of them? Why can't you use the holiday for good, instead of looking at hte bad?

You know, I know valentines day is a corperation holiday. It's hallmarks dream month - that doesn't stop me from buying my girlfriend flowers. Just because "90% of " other people might do it out of marketing, that doesn't mean I do.

And it doesn't mean your mom does either.



So see question #1 -

If your mom wants to buy you a gift, and it makes her happy. Who are you to attempt to take that happiness away from her?

Josiah hit the spot, man, be grateful for everything, even X-mas, your mom, at least most moms, buy stuff not to support corportations, but cause she loves you man, so yeah, w/e.

It's not that I'm not thankful. I'm thankful for everything they do for me. I'm thankful they've put up with me being out of school for 4 months without a job (for the most part). I'm thankful they haven't started charging me rent. I'm thankful that my mom changed the thermostat (without my dad knowing) so the house stays at liveable temperatures until 2 am for me, instead of 9 pm when my dad goes to bed. Etc.

I guess I see happiness coming from things such as donating to charity, maybe spending Christmas morning serving food at a homeless shelter (which I just talked to her about while putting groceries away, I think we're going to tag along with one of her friends who does that every year) which would equal the happiness coming from receiving it myself, but I guess my ego's getting in my way.

If giving is better than receiving, can I not also give? My parents don't allow me to buy presents for them. My dad has never opened a Christmas present. The closest he's come to that has been going out for supper the night before or after his birthday, never on.

I've tried on many occasions to pay for a meal, to tell the cashier to add his items to my bill at a store, etc, but I've never been able to buy him something.

His reason? "I don't need it. Why would I NEED [insert generic birthday gift here] ?"

I guess I was raised in a more "egotistical" enviroment than you, therefore we see differently and there's no point continuing. Agree?

Damn right. After I get my MBA I'm outta here though. Can't play drums for more than 2 hours at a time without the parents b[B]i[/B]tching at me.

Ahh. I wasn't bored at jazz band for the first time this year.


I love my tenor.


And I love my bed and pajamas.
So I'm going to go get in it right now, and I'm going to listen to X-Japan and read gooey mushy Star Trek Voyager fanfiction on my PSP until I fall asleep.

Don't forget your teddy bear

Gee lifes hard for you isn't it. Do you even have a job? Have you ever worked a real day in your life?

Never had one.

I had a giant stuffed elephant though. My uncle bought it for me just before he died and I ended up sleeping with it until I was 13...Now it's downstairs somewhere.

Go get it
