Given that my free time is largely spent in assorted media, whether TV, movies or gaming, and that my future career will be spent designing some computer networks of sorts, I figure that it would be a good idea to get into something a little more diverse and less electrically mo.
Which brings me back to music, which thinking back I think I've mentioned on here before. It's something I've always had some sort of invested interest in, and considering a large portion of my life has been spent in lessons/practice/finding ways of avoiding practice, I figure that returning to it would be a wise investment.
Trouble is, music can take up a lot of time. Sure, I play the piano occasionally, but as it requires a great deal of practice to get something going, nothing ever improves enough for a decent regular performance ie worship group.
So, having established it would be almost pointless if it were not put to good use, I could go back to the trombone. I still like the idea, and quite frankly it was probably the only reason I stayed
with the Salvos for so long. When I got sick of the music being played there, and once I had finished with the school music program, there was no point in staying for the free rental trombone. (Wow, that sounds kind of blunt when I put it that way. That wasn't the real reason I left that church, but it helped. Although I did leave only a few months after the school musical...) Also, I thought the Salvo uniforms were bad, but this image has helped remove that opinion completely.Anyway, given that my recent attendances at church has been, shall we say, poor, and a new trombone costs upward of $700 at absolute base price, it seems kind of a waste. Although, it would give me greater motivation to actually attend church once in a while. And I was better at it than I was at piano, so it'd be less strenuous.
So, where have these rantings got me? Nowhere. I can either spend a lot of time on the piano for free, or I can buy a trombone with my tax return and actually use it for something useful.
To be perfectly honest, I don't know where this is headed. I just started typing and stuff came out. So... yeah. What was the topic???
Oh, yeah. Spare time stuff. Music was just an option, but I figure that since I actually have that talent I could kill 2 stones with one bird as it were (and yes, I know the phrase is the other way around). Or, I could train to be a ninja. But I'm too clumsy, and I'm not sure people could handle the increased awesomeness that ninja would bring. Or I could think up useful titles for blog posts. Also, I've gotta stop bagging out the Salvos. It's become a bad habit, and they're not as bad as I make out at times.
Another option would be to actually read the bible instead of occasionally picking it up for small group. I haven't properly looked at the thing for months. Not good for a professing Christian, hey?
Ok, some I'm going to finish this off before I break some vilification law, or tell one of King Kohl's awful racist jokes, thus offending all 3 or so readers I actually have.
