I saw an image of someone I once knew today and it made me write down my first impressions. I don't normally tend to do that. Guess that makes me an impressionist;
Looks like there's a storm coming;
Looks like somebody told you to smile;
Looks like you're waiting there for someone;
Looks like you'll be waiting for a while;
Guess you'd rather not think about it much;
Guess you'd rather not think about much at all;
Feels like you're just passing the time---sometimes---
Feels like you never really were a friend of mine;
Feels like ghosts do walk among us;
And I guess, it looks, as if it feels;
Like the phantom pain from the bee that stung us;
I do like impressions though. I once saw a man completely impersonate a man who was not unlike himself if you thought about it. Which I did. "Who would have thought" needs a question mark at the end of it, doesn't it? A lot of those symbols at the end of things bother me, actually I can't be bothered. They make a symbol in sheet music where the writer wants you to keep playing till the cows come home, but I forget what it's called. I like that idea though. Playing until someone 'decides' it's time to stop based on the feel of the room. What's the longest it could go on? I imagine that every time I see that symbol. What if there was a room that had just the right vibe in it, just the right amount of energy to push, and inspire, and invigorate a conductor and her entire orchestra to hold the last note until...they couldn't even remember they held it that long? When there's a world record for something, it's an extreme thing. How big is the biggest of its kind? And how did it get to the point where conditions called for something so massive to be constructed? It's baffling. Beautiful though.
