record a CD of lullabies
Untitled 3 years ago

people tell me i should do this because when i play music i put people to sleep. lol

ironically, i’m an insomniac. LOL



be a working musician
uh, like, i did this. lol 3 years ago

yeah. it was cool – i’d like to make above-starving wages this time tho. i am constantly amazed that the average joe never realizes all the YEARS of study/practice that go into the finished product (the musician/honing the talent). they don’t want to pay you anything… i think since the word “play” and “music” are often used together, that is why people don’t want to pay to hear it. “play” insinuates fun (ie., not work), when alot of times, as anyone who’s done this knows, it IS indeed WORK. nobody wants to pay to see someone having fun. they figure if you’re having fun, that should be your reward. uh, NOT.

i’ve played for 32 years. i can play beethoven on guitar, note for note. i can play bach til i drop. lol nobody wants to hear that stuff. well, wait, correction – they want to hear it, but for free.

tonight i’m playing for tips in a coffee shop. this was not what i had in mind when i went to music college…but it gets me out of the house. :)



learn Latin
i knew more than my professors at college... 3 years ago

because i had 2 years of Latin in high school.

my professors hated me. LOL that was reason enough to learn it. LOL >:)

seriously though, if you plan on going into medical or legal, it’s a MUST HAVE.
