Tonight I prepare myself for a challenge that i will undertake tomorrow. My final exam for drafting. It comes once a semester towards the end of the course. In a flash it's gone. Well, Shall we dance? Nothing like a good challenge to start the day on the right foot. As a thought that's been lingering in my head over the last few weeks is picking up keyboard again. I started to play piano when i was 5 for about 4 years. I lost the material as i grew up into friends and stopped paying attention to my practicing. As I sat at our full size piano at home I thought to myself that it would be a good challenge to relearn my way of the keys. A lot of people tend to disagree saying that i'm to old to learn a new instrument. Myself, I believe I am capable of anything with enough hard work and discipline. In a vintage carwash today I saw a kid that reminded me of me at his age. I've never met anyone remotely like me. It was really funny how he acted it was like watching a home movie. This thought also again spurred on memories and thoughts from my piano playing days. So in order to get more serious with my playing, I will need serious gear. This is a big step for my musical career as it will enable me for future gigs at say hotels, or restaurants. I have a very good musical back ground as a foundation so learning new things does not intimidate me. I believe you set bars for yourself , i may not be considered a realist. I will fight for my dreams, and hard work, sweat, blood, and tears will go into it till it becomes a reality. Not fame or fortune but the ability to play an instrument so well you can captivate an audience with it.
