I've finally finished that orchestra piece, now entitled "The Inner Storm". After listening to it several times, I settled on that name, as it accurately describes my inner turmoil while writing it. I don't actually have time right now to describe what was going on, but suffice it to say that my life hasn't been all that great recently.
The song should be on the site soon.
Until next time, remember: Don't feel bad if you fail. Rather, look at it as another chance to succeed.

Inspiration
If you noticed my last post has no option for comments...it's because several people chose to use the comment space as spam receptacles! I can't believe it! That was weird.
Anyway, for those of you paying attention, I've recently finished another piano song, called "My Ghost". It's uploaded on my site if you wanna listen. Currently I'm working on a string piece. No title yet.
No programming has been done. Many things have been sacrificed in my mad rush to apply for colleges. I'm applying early to Harvard. All that I have left is the common app's essay. We'll see how that turns out...
I have found time to continue writing my main novel. I'm actually making more progress than I have for many months. I've found it actually harder to sit at a computer and write the story, since I have so many handwritten notes, and on paper I write whatever is in my mind, but on the computer it's sorta organized (in order), and I'm often at a loss as to what should happen next, or if I have enough for this chapter.
There's plenty of other stuff I need to do this year. I guess my work will never end.
Until next time, remember: Be like the machine, unrelenting and without remorse, as you complete your task.

Intolerant of Intolerance
This makes me sad: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1220284
I know that there are people in this country that hate anyone who's not like them, but it still makes me sad to see intolerance like this (I mean the marchers, the ones who call themselves the American Nazi Party). The protesters do have a right to want to keep these kind of people out of their community, but there is a part of the Constitution that allows peaceable assembly.
Violence is not the way to keep these people out of our towns. Ignore them, show them how to make peace with those who are different. They're like bullies; if you don't give them the response they're looking for, they'll move on and find someone else to harass. Eventually they'll find a home in one of the Republican states.
Until next time, remember: Keep peace in one piece.
