My life, lately, has been ridiculously boring.* To those of you who REALLY know me, I am a citizen of the interwebz, meaning that I pledge my allegiance to a pixelated US flag. Other than that (and my rediculous** awkwardness), I am just like everyone else in the United States who doesn't get out much.
I am starting to bum myself out a little bit because without YouTube or Skyrim, my day falls apart. The most exciting thing that's happened to me since the summer started is that Toby Turner's "Tobuscus" channel is now the 25th most subscribed YouTube Channel. The only thing that comes close to the giddy, fanboy excitement this provides me is that Ray William Johnson's channel "RayWilliamJohnson" (an original channel name, if I do say so myself) may be rereplaced by Ryan Higa's NigaHiga channel. Ryan is gaining a lot of subscribers right now, probably because of the collaborations he's going to be doing soon on his YouTube reality show "Internet Icon".
PIANO! So I played at that wedding recently and here is a truly fun fact; when I can't fit my piano into the space you've provided for me, I can't play my piano. Wedding music 101, really. Elementary, my dear Watson. Elementary.
HARRY POTTER! Snape kills Dumbledore. ***
WEIGHT LOSS! Not happening. Since the summer started I've been taking a huge step backwards, but I want to get back into it. I even meant to bring my running clothes home so I could go running, but I forgot so...
BACON! Still delicious.

* Fun fact; I just screwed up the spelling of the word 'ridiculous'
because I always spell it 'rediculous' as if something was at one time
diculous and it is now diculous again.
** Dangit.

MY PIANO HAS MORE SCALES THAN A DRAGON!!!
HELLLLLLLLOOOOOOO!!!!!
Guess what I've done with my day today. I bet you can't. I hope you can't. I'd probably assume you were stalking me if you could and I wouldn't even be able to do anything about it because getting a restraining order on my few readers would definitely hinder this blogs already poor readership...
So, I played scales today. That was fun. I woke up early, reviewed the fugue for my audition, saved the fridge from imploding, and played scales until my left hand literally fell off my body. I was in the middle of the Db Major scale and my left hand was like, "Hey, Tyler. We've been through some great times these past 21 years, but you are working me too hard. Here's my two weeks notice. In two weeks from now, you're gonna notice I haven't been here in two weeks. See ya!" And that was that.
So then I played Halo with my brother, played guitar with one hand (obviously), and struggled to turn to page 394 without Snape getting ticked off at me (with little success). It was somewhere between throwing a grenade at aliens and right now when I blogged about nothing (yet still successfully referenced Harry Potter) that I began to realize that during the course of this break a very significant yet not entirely unforeseeable event has occurred. When I am not by my piano, I am practically a nobody. I seem to put myself in a position where I don't have an existence away from the piano, unless that existence is to review my piano music away from the piano. I could be out with friends, but my piano is my BEST friend. I could watch a movie, but it usually ends up being a movie about a piano player (there are plenty out there, trust me). I could play video games, but that's my reserve for when my hands cramp up and playing piano is no longer an option.
I would just like to say that at first I was quite ticked off at Nintendo for making a system that worked entirely off of motion rather than pressing buttons like any video game conglomerate would have designed. But when your fingers refuse to move, just having to swing your arm to kill bad guys is kind of a blessing.
That's my post for today. I'd be icing my hand right now but thankfully my house is cold enough so I don't have to. I'm gonna go watch youtube, maybe another movie, and find SOMETHING to do with my life that doesn't have anything to do with piano.
