Why You Need My Help

Published by oldwestmom at 9:53 pm under Random Babblings Edit This

Let’s face it.  We all want to be popular.  We want people to look at us with awe and whispers of admiration to follow in our wake.  We want to be invited to every party and be the center of attention once we get there.  We want all the ladies/gents to think we’re damn sexy.

Fortunately for you, I’m here to help you.

It’s a good time to be a geek.  Geek is chique.  A brain is as much a crowd pleaser as a flat tummy and big guns.  That’s why there’s hope for you.  I know you’re not one of those brainless jocks, because if you were, you’d still be trying to spell S-Y-M-P-H-O-N-Y.  You wouldn’t have even made it here.

So how am I going to help?

I’m going to teach you to listen and appreciate music.  We’re not talking the current top 40…we’re talking good music that’s been around for centuries.  You’re going to be dignified and sophisticated.  You’re going to take people by surprise with your depth and personality.  When people roll up next to you at a stop light, they’re going to be vibrated from the bass coming out of your car.  They’ll roll their eyes, but you’ll just smile and slowly lower your window.  The crescendo of a Beethoven symphony will crash upon them with the might of a gavel of poetic justice, as you cruise away with dignity and pride.

Impressed, the guys and gals will nod approvingly.  They will secretly long to be you.

Together, we’re going to listen to a piece of music and learn to really hear it.  We’re going to savor it, as a connoisseur would taste a fine wine.  We’ll let it swirl in our heads and open our mind to it’s suggestions.  We’ll experience whole new levels of emotion, come to a climax, then descend to a state of peaceful tranquility.

Yes, it will be better than sex.

This will be a platform…a tool in your new arsenal of ways to be irresistible.

Intrigued?  Good for you.  I knew there was hope for you.

    Sounds interesting. I find classical music relaxing and invigorating too. Odd combination!

    Can’t wait to see the next post!

    I like classical music but I’m hampered by liking music I can sing to. Yes, I listen to opera. Yes, I sing some.

    Favorites: Mozart and Schubert.

    You and my dad would SO get along (if he weren’t dead). My husband also favors classical and Beethovan.

    David at Quotidian Vissitudes is a huge classic music fan. I’ll let him know about your site (but you might want to check his out).

    I have a video of my daughter singing “Ave Maria” (Gounod) and I have recordings I need to edit of me singing “Ave Maria”, “Stanchen” and “Der Mueller und der Bach” all by Schubert (where I hope my pronunciation is better than my German spelling). You may inspire me to get that done.

    I wanted to see what all the buzz was about. Ha! I see you really ARE a glutton for punishment. I’m glad you started another blog. Who says we can’t be experts at more than one thing?! :)

    Your blog sounds quite intriguing, I too love classical music. Often I would put on a cd of Bach or Beethoven while my students were doing seat work. :) A wonderful way of keeping a relaxed atmosphere in the classroom.
