I will try to work for 40 more minutes and then get outside for a bit.
- How is your day going? It’s funny because I write these articles and have no clue where they are going or who is studying them.
I’m writing this from a small Spanish village on the coast after moving out of the States eight years ago when I decided to stop chasing the American Dream. Most of my friends have big houses and cars and make a ton of money, but I opted for the arts and am just squeaking by each month. Selling space heating systems on the side gives me a bit of extra money from the local cooling system company and then I spend the rest of my time chasing my own dream of being a singer in a band. I will really never be well known in the field but it makes me feel whole and complete when I sing and play in the band so that’s why I do it. I feel more triumphant than when I was a local company back dwelling selling a/cs to people in town. It is not easy chasing the arts because you definitely put your heart out there for people and it can get hurt sometimes, but I’m happy I chose this instead of running my local dealer like I was when I was in the heating and A/C technology world. There is nothing wrong with that kind of life either, but something inside of me wants to show the world what I can do with singing and drumming.
