Considerations.
It occurs to me that, pretty much, everyone I know has a life plan; a goal that they are reaching for. Some seek to have babies, marry, raise pets, start a pyramid scheme. Others are looking to do things like buy houses or refurbishing old cars or finally have that sex-change they've been dreaming about since they were nine. As for me, I pretty much have one dream: I want to be a professional nothing. I want to be paid to merely be in the presence of people. I want people to pay me because I am just that rad. This is exemplified, primarily, in my current second-life as a studio musician/songwriter. I want to be paid to do something that takes little to no effort from me. While this may sound lazy and even moderately like stealing, I must ensure you that it is more along the lines of bribery than anything else. The people that hire me know that I can sing pretty and write lyrics that don't sound like they came off of the back of a box of Lucky Charms and so bribe me to do that in front of a microphone or onto a piece of their letter-head. It just so happens that I wind up being lucky enough to be able to accomplish this feat with about 1/4 of my mind's available RAM. I am pretty much a dick and vain for even posting this. God, why do I even try. Maybe I should start working on my hobo poses and wino-biceps cuz this certainly can't last. My being gainfully employed and working in music, that is.
