Music. I can play lots of songs on a guitar even very complex pieces, but I just can't wrap my head around music theory. I just don't understand it. I try and I try, but it's been years and I still don't really get it. I almost wish I'd gotten a degree in it just because not understanding bothers me so much.

Well, consider the order.
I said he doubles his apples and then adds 5 yielding 13.
so he added 5 to get 13, what did he have after he doubled? 13-5=8 apples. But that was after doubling so what's half of 8? 4.

X is a placeholder for a number we do not know, but which has a value.

see what i mean. suck at math. i took the numbers to work with, and worked backwards...assuming 13 was number 1...apparently, it's number 0.

see, i suck at symbolic logic. just plain kill me already.

ie, i could have had the answer already, plus avoided looking like an idiot, and asking how one could double a number to 9, when the answer was 8, and you can double 4 to reach that number.

I don't know where you're at, but for an absolute beginner I recommend Jazzology, regardless of the genre you're studying

Jazzology

Its a good book, you can see the Contents if you preview the book

If anyone's into composing Classical music or complex polyphony in general, there's:
"The Study of Counterpoint" ~ Johann Joseph Fux
The same book Beethoven, Mozart and a few others studied, very good book, haven't finished it

I suck at everything I suck at.

The top 3 being:

- Making friends
- Keeping a girlfriend
- Trusting people





Trusting people is what i suck at. Thank god making friends was never hard for me BUT keeping them seems to be impossible these days.

Its odd..for some reason i am more comfortable talking to strangers than my own friends.

luckily i have an awesome woman as my fiance. I need to marry her and i need a prenup. I have trust issues

Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..
