Original Message 1/7 30-May-10 @ 04:08 AM - Why oh Why?
I’m sat at home with the potential to produce planning and building regulation drawings,
I’ve even got a couple on the books I need to complete. But for some bizarre reason I chose to spend my time tinkering with sounds.
Why?
The drawings guarantee a steady income and the music will never achieve anything more than the odd compliment.
Yet I still insist on spending my time tinkering – AM I INSANE?
The only conclusion I can draw is that I love making my music – I only wish I had opted to do this for a profession one way or another – I would never have made any money at it, but by the fuck you can bet your ass on it I’d have been happier than a pig in muck!
Parents always insist you shouldn’t waste your time pursuing idle dreams – A friend of mine studied architecture, became a fireman, and chased numerous other jobs before his father (a lecturer in fine art) finally admitted his son was a talented artist.
He now teaches fine art himself and sells off most of his work for obscene amounts of money.
I have two children and no matter what I think would be best for them I will insist they follow their dreams – at least this way they will never have regrets.
I only started tinkering two year ago.
At 42 I can only imagine the chances I may have had.
In the words of Tim Hardin “Hang on to your dream”
In the words of Sinatra “Regrets I’ve had a few”
In the words of NastyM “Do the Do , Everyone else can go screw”

lead us to something we hadn't imagined. It's always better to make my own mistakes than to make
someone else's I always say, and it's better to regret my own choices than someone else's.
Music and sound feed the soul or at the very least stimulates a part of the brain that otherwise sits
around bored, at least that's what I believe. Thus the hunger.
