Ahem.

Let me preface this by saying that this rant is not ponting directly at you. Rather, it is more about this "way or attitude" of thinking.

Trick?

It's kind of a funny word to use when describing something in which we are supposedly passionate about. Music being that thing.

Are we magicians?

Do we apply this to our entire lives?

Let's say that music is your passion but you still need a straight job to pay the bills.

So this is your life:

Music, Love, Work, Bills.

We know that you like to trick people into liking your music. So how about love? Do you slip something into your girlfriend's drink so that she "thinks" you are interesting. Do you wear a hairpiece? Muscle pads so that she believes that you are strong?

Work. Do you spend the better part of an 8 hour day trying to "trick" your boss into thinking that you are a good worker? Stealing other worker's reports?

Bills. Do you print or buy counterfeit money so you can fool or trick the utility companies into giving you services for free? Do you?

No. You don't.

You don't do these other things but you do cheat with your passion?

Very interesting.
