what really annoys me is Dark souls PvP

DkS PvP used to irritate me to death, but I love it now. Once you understand how the game works in PvP, all that's left is to have fun and not take it too seriously, which is the mistake most people make. I invade people naked and try to punch them to death. I haven't won yet, but that's not why I do it.

for i, i would like to join the marines to earn money for college.

That's what I did! And boy, there were a lot of not fun moments involved. The college money is worth it, though. If you have any questions about the Marines, or how the GI Bill works, ask me. Don't ask a recruiter. A lot of them will tell you what you want to hear or word things to their advantage.

On that note, I was a bassoonist in a Marine Band for four years, and am now on my way to getting my teaching degree, and eventually my doctorate in conducting, so that I may become a director of bands at a nice college, or a conductor of a symphony orchestra. We'll see what job openings there are in ten years. 

Now why would I do all that? Because I love music.

D.W. is pleased with the amount of pony. You are redeemed. 
Also, I like the set stuff you posted. The Genesis games just lend themselves to groovy drum covers.

Basically, what annoys me more than anything in the world is when I work hard to improve in the one thing I still have my own pride in and I can never achieve that goal; that is my one taboo. That is the one thing I can not stand one bit, for if I don't have my artwork... What do I have anymore!? 

Hahah, I know this feeling. I said almost the exact same thing to myself yesterday.
I've accepted that I don't know nearly as much as I thought I did; I intend to move forward with an open mind.
By the way, the person I mentioned earlier, is going to be my Professor. My harshest critic will be the one to make me better.

I get the feeling you see art the way I see music, Stars. All we can do is keep running at that wall till we smash through or find a way around, because giving up and losing what matters to us most isn't an option.

Sonic Boom is good, so it gets a mention. Actually, the whole game gets a mention. There's so much music in it!

Seems you like Opera than I thought   
I told you that I like Opera, but it seem you like it more than I do.
Is this German Opera (or Italy  ).

Madame Butterfly and Gianni Schicchi are both operas composed by Giacomo Puccini, of Italy.

German, Les Miserables is French (or, at least, based on a French book...), Madame Butterfly is..I believe Korean styled, not sure where it's from though... Jesus Christ Superstar is from England, composed and created by Andrew Lloyd Webber (my FAVORITE composer of all time! ) , as is Phantom of the Opera.

Madame Butterfly is actually about an American who marries a Japanese girl, and takes place in Japan.
Andrew Lloyd Webber is pretty amazing.

Took an audition today.
Did absolutely terrible. 
After years of priding myself as a professional musician, today I got told by someone exponentially better than me that I am terrible, and have learned nearly everything wrong. They were also surprised that I once made a living on that instrument.

Sense of self-worth officially dashed upon rocks.
Lowest point I've been at in years.

I see your Madame Butterfly and raise you a Gianni Schicchi.

Nothing better than Bernstein doing Bernstein.

I'll go years without listening to this song, and then randomly become addicted to it again.

Games with time limits, like Pikmin and Majora's Mask.
I hate feeling rushed.
They require careful time management, which as someone that goofs around in games a lot, is not fun to deal with.

when you doing something simple, listen to Immediate music or two steps form hell and it will make everything more epic

Ah, yes. The epic music treatment.
I tried doing that, but couldn't keep it up without laughing.
I kept imagining the Epic-Movie-Trailer-Voice Guy narrating whatever I was doing, like it was part of an upcoming action movie.

Inactive people in skype groups. Like if you're not going to talk, you shouldn't be able to sit in here and read our conversations bro. 

Yeah... The LoE Skype Group's pretty quiet

What? There's a Skype group?

the fact that Detective Woona is on the forums

Aww, that's a really nice thing to say, Magus. Thanks. 

The Bassoon is finished! I can pick it up today and get back to work on my Art of The Dress trio arrangement.
So glad it didn't take them over a week for a small problem.
