Le bon, le mal.

Nothing set in stone yet, but there is the possibility that I will get to do some voice-over work for a video game, which I've never done before (although I've been told by others over the years that my voice would be great for that sort of thing).  As if that wasn't cool enough, I might get to do some paid studio work in July for a local band called The Dreadnoughts.  They're in need of a tuba, and while I don't really play it, it sounds like they just need some straightforward root/5th playing.  Nothing's confirmed, but that's okay:  I like this feeling of possibility, and how random things seem to be sometimes.  So, you know: yay!

On a more personal side of things, I've been taking a good, long, hard look at myself in the mirror, both figuratively and literally, and I don't like what I'm seeing staring back.  Ugliness on the outside is one thing, but ugliness on the inside is far worse, and it's really there on both counts.  I also don't like the thought of being dismissed as a stereotype or worse, repulsive by others, and so I need to make some changes to myself.  Perhaps most importantly, I need to remind myself to act my age more often and start behaving like a middle-aged adult who should really know better by now.

Yeah, wish me luck on that one.  Point is, cold and hard truths can be painful to confront, but if you don't, how can you ever hope to defeat your personal demons and move on?

serendipity, ugly, truth, change, music
