The wind is beneath and behind you when you run. Even if it blows against you, don't stop. And remember: The wind may be below you, but the stars are always above...
Now for a [[not so]] quick update:
Catherine [[AKA DoomCough. Kudos to you, Dad! X^D]] and I had a little conversation in the car before leaving for school...
DoomCough: So [[her]] Mom told me you were going to try out for Youth Symphony.
Me: Yeah.
DoomCough: She knows you're just doing it for the guy [[Corey]].
Okay, freeze!... If I didn't join for Corey BEFORE, what would make her think I am NOW???
Me: No; I'm doing it because Mom wants me to.
DoomCough: Well you know that you have to audition.
Me: I know.
DoomCough: And they have high expectations.
Pause here: I live with Mom here. Don't think I don't know high expectations. Let's continue...
Me: I understand.
DoomCough: And you're kinda bad.
We're gonna stop here one last time; the discussion is over because her mom was ready to leave and I guess she didn't wanna get caught dissing me. But consider this: The most recent and only time she's ever heard me play is in my first week of seventh grade, when I first got my violin and I didn't know a lot. Of COURSE I was bad.
So I am just getting back into the swing of playing. My previous, high-strung tutor left, which left me with laid-back, easy-going Andre [[That's the fifth Andre in my book, BTW.]].
Which means I will close with one more inspiring thing. In my case:
I have friends outside of Catherine [[and yes, even Tony!]] and a son* who believes in everything I do. Just so long as they're behind me, there's nothing I can't do.
*Son: My eight-year old friend, Garret, and I are so close! He's really cute and I'll add a picture of him as soon as I fix my camera. Or just use Dad's. Who knows? I'm sort of like his unbiological [[is that a word?]] mom, and if Tony were to like me back, that could make him his unbiological dad. Garret actually does bear a resemblance to Tony. Same hair and eye color. Wow. Just wow...
Stay tuned.

Oh Roary that's hilarious! DoomCough. I know exactly how that's pronounced too. Gilda Radner used to use that name for another character on a regular Saturday night skit they used to do, way back when. Sounds like a perfect name for Catherine. What a rite old bag she is too for saying that to you about the Orchestra and your playing! How dare she! Keep standing up for yourself with her. She'll get tired and go bug someone else eventually. (I'm rolling my eyes here)
I loved your poem about the wind. Beautiful. Very inspirational indeed. :) Good luck with your new violin teacher.
Hey, what model and year of Carvin do you have? I just went to their website. Cool guitars and history on them. Where's the picture! Ha, ha!
