I’m a Jazz musician type. I’m extremely good in a crisis or under intense pressure and I always show up unprepared. In fact the more unprepared the better. image

I wouldn't call myself a jazz musician but I have taken some jazz training and I have to say jazz musicians are not just winging it all the time as you think. They are the best musicians in the world in my opinion. While you can be a punk rocker and only know four chords and belt out an out of key melody, you cannot half-ass jazz like that. Maybe there is a lot of improvisation depending on what type of jazz, but they are hardly unprepared. Maybe they break the rules but they learn the rules first in order to know how to best break them 😎
that sound too much like me😂 “Yeah this could be a great solution, now let’s get back to the other 18282 I was thinking about and wait for the moment to actually happen”
This one is nonsense - No one is more musically prepared than a jazz musician that can improvise magic. Normies just think #2 happens 🐂💩
We all have a limited time on this earth. While preparation is important, it's counterproductive if it consumes most of your time…unless it’s enjoyable.

There’s some mystique around jazz, musicians deliberately not indicating they’re keeping time, only tapping their toe beneath their shoe or cussing up site reading players as “dots” whilst most could read. It was about being cool whilst demonstrating virtuosity. So yeah, comparing shit posting to jazz is a stretch. Maybe more like KISS.
when I was in University taking a psychology course in PE, the teacher presented us two types: success seeking (working hard, waiting for success longer, doing the realistic thing) and failure preventing (afraid of failing, always chooses either very simple tasks, or very big almost unrealistic goals) i thought at first:‘of course, I am totally the success type, therefor I MUST be the successfull seeking type‘ then I took a second to think about it. I realized that I am more of a failure preventing type. always show up unprepared, always unrealistic goals and somehow winging it. bitcoin made me more the ‚successful seeking‘ type. waiting for gratification. working, stacking sats. But also going ALL THE FUCK IN NO REGRETS IF WE DIE THEN WE DIE NOT LOOKING BACK. GO EARLY and GO UGLY. AMERICANHODL TYPE OF SHIT DUDE. I DONT GIVE A FUCK SEND IT ALL TO ZERO I WILL BUY IT ALL FUCK YOU SLOW IS SMOOTH. AND SMOOTH IS FAST. *ping* *ping*

Ha, work forces me to be 1, and I think that my coworkers are both appreciative and exhausted by what I bring to the table. At home it's pure 2, and I feel more than a little guilt over it when my wife wants to make plans with me 😂
