i see myself headed towards a point where i kind of hate music notation, not because of notation itself, but because i can trust my ears, whereas i can't trust the people responsible for what's before my eyes

the important difference between 12-hour and 24-hour time is not actually the number of hours, but that zero had been invented by the time we came up with the latter
