Yes, it is now time for me to put my family and my life to the side so that my viola and music can take over my life again. What IS that!?! Really, who else would put themselves thousand's in debt, leave their family in another state, work through an injury (just pretend it doesn't exist...it'll turn out fine), move to a place the sun only shines 10% of the year, deprive themselves of basic sleep, only get through the week because they know there's a beer waiting for them Friday night, learn so much that they become more stupid, know so much about "music" that people either don't care or just want to hit them, look like they are 55 when they turn 30, lose their hair and what hair they have left turns gray in their 20's, etc, etc? Musicians - aka - me!!! NOT ONLY AM I DOING IT VOLUNTARILY - I'M PAYING TO DO IT!!
Yep, I'm going back today. All packed. Just have to tape-up the boxes, pack-up the truck, and get the baby ready for travel. You know why this break wasn't long enough? Because it ended! My "break" will be just right after graduation...when it's OVER! Well, I won't be able to practice for 24 hours - so I need to practice before I start the trip...because I am a musician, and we are masochists and out of our damned minds. See you in Eugene!
