Moonlight

Piano!

The doc came back and told me the "Rules and Guidelines" to having cancer and how it was all gonna work basically. Chemo... Feeling shitty all the time... etc... But I had a more pressing matters to attend to. Thanks to Cancer, all my plans were thrown right out the fucking window. Which meant no family, no kids, no happiness, and worst of all... No true love. So I quickly decided instead of getting all beat up about it, I was gonna make my two months worth my fucking while. So yeah I'm dying blah blah blah, whatever... The point now is... what do I want to do about it? Sitting here and crying about it just seems like a waste of time for me so fuck it! I decided that best use of my time left here on this earth is to do what musicians do best and give off the best damn performance they possibly can. So I had to plan this out very carefully...

I immediately found out that because I was over 17 that I didn't qualify for a make-a-wish. Yeah a real buzzkill on my grand plan I was creating but whatever. Just goes to show you that if you get terminal cancer,  you should do it before 17 so you at least get something out of it. Back to my plan! The only thing I asked for was the real key to my brilliant idea... A Piano. Thankfully when you have cancer and a short amount of time, your parents decide on things a little more quickly than usual. I immediately got my request with a decent sized piano in my room after two days. Step 2 was the tricky part, I had to find the repertoire that represented me the best and what better to show off than the one piano piece I held in higher regards than any other Piano piece I have ever heard, Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune".  And so began my work for the next month...

I didn't talk to anybody much. I kept to myself in my room simply eating, sleeping, and playing the piano 24/7. I got out only to do very few things such as my treatments or seeing the Doc once in awhile. I kept myself very occupied though, learning everything i could about this piece. Listening to every recording and inputting my very emotion into my playing until finally it was finished. I set a date for my grand performance. I was able to call in a few favors at my High School and was actually able to reserve the Theater for a day just for everybody to hear. I got my performance ready suit and headed into step 3 of my plan...
