The piano at my church is very sharp in it's playing. Hopefully I'm being clear on this... it's in tune, but "piercing" - I'm fairly certain there is a way to work with the hammers to round out or soften the tone, but what exactly is done?

Thanks.

i say it's about the lessons you don't want to learn from,
the mistakes you don't want to change,
the constant fall to the bitter end is more welcomed than you have lead everyone to believe.
typical ways for an even more predictable mind.
where does it come from?
the debates,
unexpected fates,
tempted wrongs,
with an only wiser outcome.
it's either all or nothing.
today or to late.
to much or to selfish.
i say no more,
no less,
stop thinking,
start pushing,
all the things you did,
didn't,
wanted,
unfinished.
the constant cries for the same ending,
what a time to go away.
when you realize,
you are nothing more,
less,
but just equal to the same decayed beings we all walk above.
we are the walking dead,
in mind and spirit.

My sister called me anti social the other day, I asked what she meant exactly, like shy and withdrawn ?

She said that's a different thing, someone who is anti social is often the opposite and uses that to screw people over to get what they want, without any feeling of guilt or remorse.

I was like 'WHAT ? do you think I am antisocial ?'

'Maybe a little'.. she said, but I could tell she actually meant world war six.

So it got me thinking, maybe she is a little right there, but despite my deep love, respect and affection for humanity can I still be called anti social ?

I don't lie nor tell the truth, I only keep the balance.
I might make you hurt but never make you cry
I might use a fool but never cruel
I might rob your car but never your home
I don't start fights but I will finish them
I help the weak come stronger
I help the peace last longer.

What I mean is I might look you in the eyes, screw you over and make you sad to get what I need, but I'm still sorry and I still love you.

The fact is, I enjoy both equally, I have no preference. I'm told I have a great baritone/bass voice, especially for a high-schooler, but am also a proficient acoustic/jazz guitarist. I know whichever I choose to get serious about will get me some relative success, so I want input. Which would you, as the public, prefer to see a young adult break out into: Jazz guitar or theater?

I was told by a Serb in 1998 that we would have the same problem with the radical muslims as they did. He stated that the muslims were killing the Serbs because they would not convert to muslim. According to him they had no choice to kill them, however when Macedonia was faced with the same problem we (USA) turned our heads and let it happen. He pleaded to me that eventually we would have the radical muslim problem. Can any one clarify if any of this is true? I am a patriot.

Hey guys, it's my first time really sharing my poetry with anybody, and I'm not too confident about it...it's really something I do mostly for myself. But I was wondering if anyone here can give me some advice, pls don't be too harsh or anything

And thou art dead, as young and fair
As aught of mortal birth;
And form so soft, and charms so rare,
Too soon return'd to Earth!
Though Earth receiv'd them in her bed,
And o'er the spot the crowd may tread
In carelessness or mirth,
There is an eye which could not brook
A moment on that grave to look.

I will not ask where thou liest low,
Nor gaze upon the spot;
There flowers or weeds at will may grow,
So I behold them not:
It is enough for me to prove
That what I lov'd, and long must love,
Like common earth can rot;
To me there needs no stone to tell,
'T is Nothing that I lov'd so well.

Yet did I love thee to the last
As fervently as thou,
Who didst not change through all the past,
And canst not alter now.
The love where Death has set his seal,
Nor age can chill, nor rival steal,
Nor falsehood disavow:
And, what were worse, thou canst not see
Or wrong, or change, or fault in me.

The better days of life were ours;
The worst can be but mine:
The sun that cheers, the storm that lowers,
Shall never more be thine.
The silence of that dreamless sleep
I envy now too much to weep;
Nor need I to repine
That all those charms have pass'd away,
I might have watch'd through long decay.

The flower in ripen'd bloom unmatch'd
Must fall the earliest prey;
Though by no hand untimely snatch'd,
The leaves must drop away:
And yet it were a greater grief
To watch it withering, leaf by leaf,
Than see it pluck'd to-day;
Since earthly eye but ill can bear
To trace the change to foul from fair.

I know not if I could have borne
To see thy beauties fade;
The night that follow'd such a morn
Had worn a deeper shade:
Thy day without a cloud hath pass'd,
And thou wert lovely to the last,
Extinguish'd, not decay'd;
As stars that shoot along the sky
Shine brightest as they fall from high.

As once I wept, if I could weep,
My tears might well be shed,
To think I was not near to keep
One vigil o'er thy bed;
To gaze, how fondly! on thy face,
To fold thee in a faint embrace,
Uphold thy drooping head;
And show that love, however vain,
Nor thou nor I can feel again.

Yet how much less it were to gain,
Though thou hast left me free,
The loveliest things that still remain,
Than thus remember thee!
The all of thine that cannot die
Through dark and dread Eternity
Returns again to me,
And more thy buried love endears
Than aught except its living years.

Taslima Nasrin has revoked controversial lines from her book because she was asked to. Should a writer draw a line when writing about sensitive topics or is artistic license a writer's right? What do you think?
