Keeping with my on-going feel better, live better, accomplish something, do good view on life (phew), i've added more to my plate of "doing."
1. Take voice lessons again.
I did this to freak myself out last fall and ended up enjoying the fuck out of it. Although it was ungodly expensive, it was totally refreshing, not to mention a complete adrenaline rush. I think it kinda helped because I can actually hear myself when I sing now and I have a "range."
Time frame: In the next month.
2. After taking voice lessons again, start and (possibly) front a rock band.
I was in a band before... in high school. We were a mellower grungesqu band called "Salt Lick" and we never played a show... we just practiced in my garage. Back then I played bass and sang backup. I eventually broke the band up because I started dating the drummer. Oops. Anyway, I think I could handle it now, I mean, I don't foresee dating any more drummers since I'll be at the top of the rock band food chain.
Time frame: Within a year.
3. Create (serious) art and display it, somewhere.
I really do think that I have amazing, smart ideas for a lot of stuff. Sure, I get to use them at work with my GO section but I don't come close to using 1/1000 of the ideas I have. I've been writing stuff down but, for some reason, i've been afraid to completely attempt it. And I know why i'm afraid (because it could really suck ass) but I need to just do it anyway, just to do it.
Time frame: Within the next two months.
I swear that I'm not crazy, really. See, I think that if you stop doing things (new, harder, scarier things) that you've given up on living life. Plus, where else am I going to get story to tell you guys?
To be continued....
