I’ve been playing the clarinet since 1996 and think of it as another tool to keep the mind healthy. It helps with breathing and coordination. Reading sheet music is also in a totally different language. Probably something only other musicians could understand. I’m also writing this to comfort myself. There are times when I feel emotionally unstable. Music can be expressed in many ways in how the notes are interpreted. I never dreamed of becoming a clarinettist, but since I’ve already started exposing myself I am willing to take it further.
I do other things than practice on my clarinet. Most of which is based online and the occasional shows I watch on television. Rarely do I visit family relatives and friends. Going outside doesn’t seem to be that important anymore. My mother is always telling me to at least get some sunlight. Not taking care of myself could get me sick quite easily. I still remember in high school my physics teacher would pray at the end of class for good health. I went to a Catholic Christian college so that was a blessing.
I haven’t gone to church for a while. I used to enjoy a nice time in the church, but I’ve grown tired. I’m not sure if it’s laziness or a weakness. I have a bad history of sleeping abnormal hours. You could say that there’s not much control with my everyday schedule. So what has this got to do with the clarinet? I’ve been practicing these past few days and uploading them on SherwinJTB on YouTube. I’ve been reading good comments so far so I must be doing something decent.
I’m also interested in talking about women. I know there’s a lot of sexy women in this world. When I’m ready I may look for a girlfriend. Perhaps I’m lucky I haven’t taken anything seriously yet because of the experience of being single all my life isn’t really that bad. I find musicians quite attractive since I am one. Must be because we have something in common. Anyway, good luck to me!
