Very rarely do I post personal stuff. However, since I finally took the initiative to figure out how to post MP3's to YouTube (and as well it's TBT) I figured what the hell. I have uploaded 3 selections from my Master's piano recital.

Kaitlan Collins is a warrioress.
As I’ve said before, women are going to save this country, from itself.
I’ve always been very candid about that.

I swear to god the idiots in charge of the massacre of Big Bend have zero clue what they are doing. What a joke. What a clown show administration. All you have to do is go down there one time and you’d realize “the wall” has been there for millions of years. Texas needs to revolt
BREAKING: DHS IS BULLDOZING THE MOUTH OF SANTA ELENA CANYON.
DHS waived every single environmental law, now they’re butchering the most iconic part of Texas’ crown jewel national park. All happening the day after a massive protest right here and on the morning CNN left. This is an indefensible attack on Texas’ natural heritage.

Without knowing the story, I knew immediately it was Dunlap. What a jagoff.
So deadest to hear that one of my former piano teachers passed away. All his videos are exactly what he was like. This film by Ethan Hawke is excellent! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymou…

I'm so torn right now.
Despite its problems, I still love America, my country of birth, the only country I have ever lived in.
I'm torn because of the glee I feel as our Vice President, JD Vance, is drenched in thunderous boos at the Olympics. I really can't stand that lying sack of shit, but he's there sadly representing our country.
JD Vance represents the absolute worst that America has to offer, he is an embarrassment.
BTW -- that's why trump isn't going to the Super Bowl, he would be booed into oblivion.
I remember, as a kid, learning the "Pledge of Allegiance" and "My Country Tis of Thee," and learning the words to the "Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America." I still have national pride.
Just because I'm liberal, it doesn't make me any less patriotic. There's some kind of idiotic myth, pushed by morons on the right, that if you criticize America or you criticize the President, that means you hate America.
These hypocrites have the audacity to say that, after spending 8 years criticizing President Obama, and another 4 years criticizing President Biden.
I despise the way Vance has chosen to represent America, behind a wall of lies and hypocrisy used to justify the hateful actions taken against fellow Americans and anyone who looks like they might have been born in another country.
If you are a patriot, you love our Constitution. If you're a patriotic elected official, you've sworn an OATH to defend the Constitution and all its amendments, even those that are inconveniently impeding your quest to remove as many Brown people as possible.
And if you are a patriot, it is your DUTY to speak up when you see things aren't right, when you see people making us look bad, when you see others being hurt, oppressed, or treated with cruelty.
When you love something or someone, you correct them when they're wrong, because you expect THE BEST from them.
THAT is what it means to be American.
So yeah, BOOOO to that lying hypocrite JD Vance, and his "Haitians are eating cats and dogs" and his smug, mascara eyes looking in the camera, and his refusal to apologize for lying about Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
ALSO, hooray to our AMAZING American athletes, I will be rooting for you at the Olympics, hooray for all those people who told Vance to suck it.
And hooray for America, which I still love but excuse our appearance while we are under shitty new management.🇺🇸
That’s where I am.
Kurt Vonnegut once told this story about his friend Joseph Heller—the author of Catch-22, one of the best-selling novels of the 20th century.
At a billionaire’s party, Vonnegut said:
“This hedge fund manager made more in one day than you made from Catch-22 in your entire life.”
Heller smiled:
“Maybe. But I have something he’ll never have… enough.”
That’s the secret to retirement. Let’s unpack it 🧵

Here's the deal: Trump, Bondi, and Patel are either a part of the Epstein coverup that they so frequently spoke of...
OR they need to come clean about why they lied to the American people about the Epstein files.
Release the Epstein files, @AGPamBondi—who's stopping you?
Congrats to our daughter Alexandra. - Texas State grad and on her way to Duquesne University for graduate school.
