Friends

I have always been struck by the line in Pride and Prejudice where Lizzy tells Mr. Darcy that he only becomes a good converser if he practices conversing. Well, this definitely pertains to me and many of my friends. I was noticing that I rarely "hang out" with people. I don't think it is because I do not like people. I just don't desire to hold one way conversations. That is why I tend to flock toward conversing with the fairer sex. They always seem to be able to talk about something. I find that very entertaining, engaging, and delightful. But I have seen a downside to such sex lopsidedness. I am almost cut off from conversation with my own sex. And I cannot give justice solely to females without acknowledging those men who talk freely and converse well. What do you think about the topic of conversing sexes? (Look at Minutes 4:30- 6:00 if you do not want to watch the whole clip)

What would you do?

if you couldn't do the thing you loved most. Or is there a person out there who can change what they love at any point in time? You see, I love to practice, play, and perform music. But it seems that my voice is working against me right now. Nevertheless, I still cannot imagine doing something else. It is weird. It is like music is some kind of symbiotic being. My life depends on it (in some odd way), and it feeds on me- but gives me life. What is that? Anyway, enough ranting. Enjoy this clip sung by Andreas Scholl. The male voice is an amazing beast (Beast- a positive term for an amazing, polished human product of any kind).
