Not the Life For Me

When I was little, I wanted to be a singer- a rockstar really.  There is a picture of me singing to myself in a mirror and another one of me singing into a fake mic.  I was 2 or 3.  Then, because being a rockstar wasn't the most practical, I thought of some other fields (specifically a writer and editor).  But by the time 7th grade rolled around, I realized I wasn't getting away from music.  Maybe a broadway singer?  Meh, that didn't appeal to me for longer than a couple months.  I tried my hand at being a singer/song writer.  Thanks to my friend Heather for helping me with the lyrics of some of my songs.  By the end of 8th grade, I decided I wanted to teach music and work with choirs.  I am an oddity to know my career so early.  I don't know if I ever really lost that desire to grab a guitar and keyboard, travel, and sing.

Until tonight.  I went to an awesome concert.  April, the front woman, is pregnant.  I can't imagine.  Nor would I want that for my life.  They just bought a house and she's looking forward to settling in her house and putting things in order.  That would be rough.  Then, on top of that, I didn't get home until 12:30.  I was exhausted.  April and her band was still heading down to San Diego.  I would never be able to do that.
