Something un-political
It seems like everything I've been writing lately has been political. I suppose now I'll take a break from that to discuss my life.
Much of the past few weeks have been devoted to quick decisions, most importantly on whether or not to stay at Pace even for next semester. Suddenly, I got the revelation that if I didn't get into any of the places where I applied and left Pace, I'd be screwed. In that light, I have decided to stay. Next year's still up in the air though.
I took a while to think on Tuesday night when I was watching the election returns for hours on Fox News. I realized that I'm very interested in politics. How many other people my age are sitting glued to their TV screen all night waiting for a decision in Missouri or Virginia to see which way the senate will go? Then I thought that of all the courses I am currently taking, political science 101 is the most interesting. The professor just talks about random political subjects all class, it could even be that she is just ranting off subject too. Either way, I find these things she discusses to be very interesting. Mostly everyone else seems to hate it.
That helped me come to the realization that most likely I'll major in political science if I stay at Pace. If there's another career I would enjoy other than that of a creative recording artist, it would be that of a successful politition. Also, I figure I don't absolutely need a music degree here for what I want to do in music. All I need is a bachelor's degree of some sort in order to get decent jobs and maybe start a career out of backup things that I don't necessarily like. For some reason the only careers I think I'd like this point are successful politition, acclaimed newsman, or creative recording artist, the last one being my preference. I could even be like Bono and do all of these things. It seems though that whatever I want to do involves me getting a message across to a lot of people, because I really want to help the world a lot. It would bring me the most joy to have a ton of money that would allow me to choose where to donate it. I want to be able to give a large amount to charity. That's the only reason I'd want a ridiculous amount of money, not so I can buy bling like these disgusting rappers who apparently don't want to help out the poor neighborhoods from where they came too much. They might help a little, but if they have stupid bling, they're not helping enough.
I can't wait to return home. I love New York, but I don't have much freedom here as I do at home at the moment, and I live with a bunch of immature people who are elated to have more freedom here than they did when they were home, therefore causing them to overindulge. I think that's the difference.
I'm still looking into London for next year. If I don't go for the next three years, I will at least go my junior year.
I'm way too bored in this city. I don't ever do anything and it's ridiculous. There's no one with whom I can do anything, but there are 8 million+ here. Bah. I have to get to know more of them.
Music news - I am working on solo material that wouldn't fit in with The North Brothers, along with a few covers. I am also considering changing the name of The North Brothers. Any ideas?
I think I have enough material for the upcoming North Brothers album all set, but since there is not yet a concept, there are not yet any lyrics. When I get a concept they should come easily.
