But I've accepted already that it's gonna take me years and years to get anywhere with it. But I don;t mind so much, the violin is pretty much the only long-term-commitment I'm willing to make in my life currently.<br />Abiding Syntaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823547879691712173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932742811429691204.post-55263105539891106572013-02-01T12:26:13.220-08:002013-02-01T12:26:13.220-08:00It's good to have Team Wilderson on my side, i...It's good to have Team Wilderson on my side, in this as in all things :) Some of it is just the sound of the violin tbh, it's very old and the sound it makes is really creaky, and that's after I've spent half an hour tuning it to perfection.<br />Abiding Syntaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823547879691712173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932742811429691204.post-26913472062320618812013-02-01T12:24:37.309-08:002013-02-01T12:24:37.309-08:00Yeah sorry about that, I do feel that 5 whole minu...Yeah sorry about that, I do feel that 5 whole minutes is a bit excessive, but I just got really nervous in front of the webcam and started rambling, so the majority of the video is just logorrhea. I would have changed it, but I'm not filmmaker and I have no editing skills whatsoever. But I think there may be more videos in future, albeit shorter snippits with less explaining myself.

It's so knackering, but it genuinely just cheers you up so much. I was actually shocked by how much better I felt after going to the gym recently. It actually almost anticlimactic a solution just working out and living healthily was to feeling much better. <br /><br />Is Lyndon B Johnson related to Waco? On the subject of biographies I've recently had my interest piqued by a biography of Edgar J. Hoover.<br />Abiding Syntaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823547879691712173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932742811429691204.post-18866726524901408312013-02-01T12:17:38.300-08:002013-02-01T12:17:38.300-08:00Ah well I haven't actually had the time to che...Ah well I haven't actually had the time to check the ol' blog feedback until now friend, but I do take comments seriously however. :) Abiding Syntaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823547879691712173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932742811429691204.post-53349039275706193382013-02-01T11:07:36.627-08:002013-02-01T11:07:36.627-08:00How come you don't comment on the comments we ...How come you don't comment on the comments we leave?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932742811429691204.post-17365439010017886162013-01-31T06:08:24.976-08:002013-01-31T06:08:24.976-08:00hiiii

The use of imagery keeps the page interesting. The thought of a video at first was great as reward to the readers of your blog. However I felt the intro talk was too long and felt that the use of self insulting humour was too much. In honest opinion, shorter intro - likeable performance - positive ending.

On a personal note I've decided to take up Sports and I now swim and play badminton regularly its great fun and the effort you put in at the learning stage really pays off but when I started Badminton I was the worst player ever.<br /><br />Also mate I know you said you'd do Waco when you ran out of material, did you get the reading list / documentaries I sent you. Another thing you should consider doing is a profile on Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) I've started to read Robert Caro's analysis of him in the monumental volumes and it is fascinating. Arguably more interesting than Waco.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
