As someone who has been around and played classical music since I was twelve years old, I've explored a lot of different pieces and composers. Along the way, I have also met lots of people who've introduced me to magnificent works of art. I usually play music when I'm studying, painting, drawing, or even reading. But these songs I reserve for my best pair of immersive headphones and time to delve deep into the enveloping sounds of these classical pieces. Not all of them are relaxing, quite the opposite actually. In my opinion, they are great works and elegantly paint the rhythm of sound on the human ear.

1. Felix Mendleson: Violin Concerto E. Minor No. 64

2. Joe Hisaishi - Song of Laputa: Castle in the Sky

3. George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue

4. Johann Strauss II - Die Fledermaus: Overture

5. Johannes Brahms - Symphony No. 3 in F Major, Op. 90: III. Poco allegro

6. Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto in C Minor Op. 18 2nd Movement, Adagio sostenuto

7. Frédéric Chopin - Etude Op. 25 No. 11 in A Minor

8. Sergei Prokofiev - Romeo & Juliet Op. 64 Act I "Dance of the Nights"

9. Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No. 5 in C Minor Op. 67 I. Allegro con brio

10. Arturo Márquez - Danzón No. 2 (1994)

11. Pyotr Llyich Tchaikovsky - Piano Concerto No. 1 Bb Minor Op. 23

Chaikovskii: Piano Concerto No.1 In Bb Minor Op.23 - I. Allegro Non Troppo E Molto Maestoso. Allegro Con Spirito

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
