So, I’m on my lunch today, and seeing as I had a free soda coming to me via the monopoly promotion, I walked down to the nearest McDonalds. As I sit down and sink my teeth into a Grilled Chicken sandwich, a guy comes up and asks if I happened to be at the PS3 launch at the Best Buy in Bellevue, and of course I say yes. We end up having a conversation, and during it, I kind of felt for the first time since I took my break/acted like a over-dramatic emo-kid that maybe I still wanted to be a musician, atleast to some extent. Not that I’m at all hot to trot into the studio, or get back to doing shows for no money if not effectively paying to do shows after travel and hotel expenses. I just realize now that I need to get Opensource out sooner rather than later, and I should get the Romance Language reprint run done.

I mean, there may not be a lot of people waiting for those things to be done – maybe at best a few dozen people – but, I guess I’ve really made an impression on those folks, and in a case like today, it turns out I’ve even introduced some people to Nerdcore, and everytime I hear that it makes me really happy because it means I’ve had a positive effect on their life (well, I think it’s positive to get into a genre with MCs like MC Frontalot, mc chris, Beefy, Nursehella, ZeaLouS_1 and YT Cracker to name few.) I mean, there are still plenty of things I have to get straight in my life that still take a higher priority, but I think I won’t be turning my back on music even though I’ll have other stuff on my plate as I start getting other stuff underway. I just know I’ll never go back to playing shows that for audiences that don’t care, but as long as there is someone who will listen, I might as well as share what I do.

It’s like I’m happy just being me and doing things the way I want, and in the scale and pace I want. I don’t have to be an overstressed, over-scheduled person who can’t get anything done for anyone because it’s just too much going on. I’ll walk instead of sprint for now, and I’ll enjoy all the warmth and sunshine along the way. I hope people are happy to walk along with me, but they should do what they want to do too. 🙂
