those people have actual issue

idunno i dont have a type i often just read what comes my way or whatever Veeky Forums is talking about that seems interesting enough
if a book puts out a well tought out and ineresting way to look at the world ill probly like it

Damn you

I study a History degree in a shitty college, I masturbate, I shitpost, I do a bodyweight routine, I hang out/attend to concerts with some peeps and I play the guitar in a noisy, kinda experimental band

I love you user. Take care.

its hard for me to believe you
have an image as thanks though since Veeky Forums seems to like its art

mistakes
so many mistakes
sometimes mistakes are for the better

my main interest is cinema but I hang out here because /tv/ is fucking abysmal

I listen to music, usually one album a day, exercise three times a week, go for walks in the forest or in my town, drink coffee, learn languages, watch films from time to time and cycle. Since it's getting closer and closer to summer, maybe I'll travel a bit.

I paint Futurist responses to Pound's Cantos. Most of them involve my semen.

I have a 9-5 office jorb, read (comics/lit), watch TV (1 hour drama) while stationary biking, do housecleaning bc gf works from home but is lazy as hell, bake bread from scratch. Wish I could socialize more but I have anxiety, and my coworkers are well read so I can talk to them at least. I also write novels when I can get it together enough and
never show them to anyone.

Glorious.

Is that from Look Who's Back?

Listen to music (currently getting into classical), draw my short cartoon, play strategy vidya, watch movies, very rarely go to theater and art galleries.

Daydream about being a painter, a writer, a songwriter, a producer etc while not doing anything about it.

Do you have a job or go to school/uni?

mahler 2, second movement, chillest thing fampai

masturbate

I've just started poking into the basics (Beethoven, Vivaldi, Bach, Musorgskij, Cage), learning how to listen to it... Mahler isn't exactly a priority at the moment.

Work (business consultant)

I guess that's most of it

>Aside from reading
Norhing. And i ain't reading a books

I mean I'd argue that Mahler should be a higher priority than Vivaldi, Musorgskij or Cage.

not that bad of a life

This would be a good argument.

Why you do all this. It must be a real pain

What's the History degree like?

Don't worry, I'll listen to him eventually.

Btw, Vivaldi actually should be a priority for classical newfags. His music is unbelievably fun and accessible, and completely destroys the image of classical music as some boring old crap. I mean, youtu.be/124NoPUBDvA for fuck's sake

Nah, it's mostly pretty chill. Moderate amount of challenge and stimulation so I don't go vegetative, but still generally enough time to do the things I want to do and have enough relaxation.

I do occasionally miss my student days when I had time to mope around all day feeling miserable and indulging my delusions of grandeur, but on the whole I'm really happier with my lot now.

Is there some kind of "beginner's classical music" infograph? Not that guy.

I mean yeah I don't want to trash Vivaldi too hard and be all elitist about it. Just, for my money, if you want something accessible, dramatic and entertaining then someone like Ravel or Prokofiev is more where it's at.

>mahler
>not one of the basic's.

Kek. What else, you're not gonna listen to Schubert untill you've read all of Goethe's work?

meh, I'm about to finish the first year and only few of the subjects were actually about history. Also there's some clearly biased shit. Can't complain tho, it's a cheap and mediocre college in a shithole of a country (Spain) and I didn't even have to study during this year. Hope the next courses focus more on strictly historical stuff tho.

>and only few of the subjects were actually about history. Also there's some clearly biased shit
Can you elaborate?

The one's that i found weren't for beginners.
Try a few different composers and look for something you like, while reading in short about the different streams so you have at least clue what's what (you don't need to know the entire theory).
I'd say try pieces at random. Then look at what you like and see for yourself if you like symphonies, concerto's, fugues or just fragments (like finales)

Once you find a composor or piece you like, try reading about him and listen to his contemporaries.

I'd say try some stuff from at least Beethoven, Mozart (Try the requiem), Bach (like his fugues or the goldberg variatons) and Mahler (try the finale to his symphony n° 8). You can give Liszt, Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninov, Pachelbel, Tchaikovsky and Brahms random listens to get a little familiar with the basic's and work your way through the rest of the basic's from there (should be a fun time exploring).

Also: do yourself a favour and try more modern composers like Samuel Barber, John Cage and Gorecki. You might feel more familiar with them and like their work better.

And finally, try some neoclassical on. It's like Classical-light in terms of likeablity. Try Max Richter, Peter Broderick, Nils Frahm, Colin Stetson..

Sorry for the shitty spelling, i'm on my phone.

Reddit

Well as I said I'm new to classical. I'll first listen to well-known composers / composers my music prof talked about a lot.

There should be (a) chart(s) on /mu/ wiki. The pieces that made me personally interested in the music were Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Beethoven's 14th piano sonata, 3rd and 7th symphony, Orff's "Carmina Burana" and Moussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" suite (orchestral version by Ravel). These are all extremely accessible. But don't let yourself be constrained by recommendations and charts. Explore it by yourself.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with me.

On the first semester I studied Modern History, Prehistory, History of Music Styles, Artistic Styles and Geography. On the second one, I studied Contemporary History, ¿Landscape analysis? (dunno if landscape means the same as paisaje in this context), Artistic Techniques (how is oleum paint made and stuff like that), Latin (which I studied for the first time and happened to be pretty cool), and Sociology.
>biased shit
This became more noticeable on the 2nd semester. Contemporary History was all about "social movements" like feminism, black movement, trade unions and all of that. Although, even if I recognize the importance and great labour of most of these movements, the class seemed more like a laudatory speech. For example, we were told about Martin Luther King, but absolutely no Nation Of Islam, Black Panthers... or even context or background. It was all about his individual figure.
Also some leftist premises (capitalism breeds poverty, the media is controlled by an elite...) were taught as facts. Sometimes we didn't even talk about history at all but recent politics stuff.

I study what I read through lectures. Just finished a book on semiotics and feels nice catching up with 20th century thinking.

Uni teachers currently on strike, so I'm trying hard to study stuff on my own, but haven't touched shit in weeks. Geology major here.

I also cook in order to survive and play games. Currently catching up with ds games in emulator since I never had one. Also addicted to csgo.

While surfing the web I just read news from leftwing outlets.

>While surfing the web I just read news from leftwing outlets.

Idiot.

Also watch films (clearing up the Guardian's 999 films list, only 250 through) and listen to music. But I just can't find the will to sit 40 min straight listening to something I'll problably not enjoy, so I've been slow finding stuff I like.

I write ocasional reviews for films at letterboxd.com/blackstreetboy

>He's a Guardian reader

Freestyle hip hop dance, judo, rock climbing

eyy, how often you train? any other Veeky Forums martial artists around here?

Which means nothing

Where's that gif from? SNL?

Means you're SJW scum.

Work

i listen to music (mostly classical and avant), i watch movies (arthouse, non-narrative)

Work, drink tea, sketch halfheartedly, make quilts, fold paper, play board games, listen to lectures, collect things.

It means everything, pseud.

Not really, the Guardian publishes quite a lot of SJW clickbait for revenue but ,leaving that aside, it's still the most thoughtful and intelligent mainstream media outlet.

i smoke mad weed around the clock all the time

Listen to music (mostly 90s/2000s indie rock) and waste time here.

Also contemplating an English degree still.

Waste time on youtube.
Listen to shitty music.
Read some blogs, listen to some podcasts
Check Veeky Forums boards. (I spend too much time here considering I post once a month or less)

Pro-tip: Take anti-depressants and start working out. If you feel uncomfortable going to a gym, buy a basic bench and barbell/weights off of Amazon, then do the Starting Strength routine. Helped me get out of really bad depression/anxiety.

Writing a comic book. I started actively reading 2 years ago to become HUGE in writing.

What kind of work do you do where your coworkers are well read?

>do housecleaning bc gf works from home but is lazy as hell
would dump

>bc gf works from home but is lazy as hell

If she doesn't let use herself as your cumdump every two nights she is not worth to stay at your house

Why do you assume it's his house? They both have jobs.

Because she doesn't clean it. Can this logic be suffice?

Not really.. I mean, generally it's not the man who cleans the home in a relationship. It's usually the female half. Your logic would imply it's usually the woman who owns it.

work and browse the internet. i long for deaths sweet embrace

>I love you user.
no you dont. stfu you fake faggot

I find your comment confusing.

The fact that he complains about his girlfriend not cleaning the house seems to me, makes it more likely that it is his house rather than hers, for otherwise he would not so such house cleaning at all.

Problem isn't whose house it is, it's that she works from home while he has to go to his place of work. A lot easier to chill at home and work and do some other stuff than having to be in some office. Factor in commuting, and that user apparently also bakes shit, you've got an user pulling more than he should.

>it's selfish therefore it's fake
wanna be a miserable piece of shit?

and it all gets us back to this

honestly this guy sounds pussywhipped as fuck

Is that from Yojimbo?

In that case: if he can get one gf, and move in with her, he can get another gf. Unless he's one of those 'people' who can't stand to be alone in that case he can continue with the nonsense.

This too.

>Work
>School
>Socialize

How? When?

It depends on the schedule. Right now school is over, so its just work and thats sporadic atm. Before that school was all i had to worry about because I took time off work and i took it easy and just lived off of some savings.
Its all about organizing your time I guess.

eat and sleep. and that only cause my body needs to, otherwise id only read.

Work
Study music at the conservatory
Study music outside of it
Learn other languages (currently polishing my German, heading for French afterwards)
Paint or sculpt (though not as much as I used to)
Write (not that much actually)
Walk/Hike
Concerts usually once every week or two, museums once a month perhaps
Date
Sports every now and then, no routine here

I'm actually quite satisfied with my life right now, only current aim is to reduce the amount of work hours.

And to any other user who might be getting into classical: try to get a hold on Copland's What to listen for in Music, it's a great introductory book to academic music, and will explain a lot of its aspects in layman's terms.

Same, what are some of your favorite films?
