Continual State of Becoming

This is a Christmas present a friend of mine sent me because he knows how much I love filling out forms ( thanks Mike !).

What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory...

I have yet to meet someone who is like "eh, I dont care for Beethoven," and if anyone does say that, they dont know what they are talking about (and most likely they listen to country music... haha). The unfortunate thing about Beethoven is that since his music is so great it tends to be overplayed. I mean, everyone knows the 5th symphony (da da da DAAAH), but my favorite part of the 5th symphony is actually the 2nd movement , which very very few people know. I had never even heard it until a few years ago, but I instantly...
