So you have probably figured out that I have lots of hobbies. (I haven't even brought up the fact that I enjoy building cabinets, chests and misc wood boxes). You can also probably tell that there is no way I can do all these things and have a full time job, raise a son, and maintain a house/yard.
Hobbies are the only way I maintain because my job situation is depressing to me. I have been thinking for years how to get a different job but I can't seem to figure it out.
Anyway......
Long ago I figured out that music was a hobby and Rockstar status was a pipe dream. No biggie, I still enjoy playing, but music is the hobby that feels more like work. I drive 4 hours a week to band practice and back home. Plus I have to set my drumset up and tear it down for every practice. Most of the time it is worth it to me. I also have to practice at home to learn all the songs and maintain my skill.
I have spread myself too thin. My skiing partners are calling me wondering "why arent you skiing as much". My soccer team wonders why I only show up every other week. I have not built anything in over a year. The band is taking most of my spare time up. My yard is looking worse than it ever has. I always wonder If I am the worst father in the world....
Today I woke up and felt like walking away from it all....House, job, friends, hobbies......There is only one thing that I don't want to give up is my wife and kid, but for some reason they don't want to live in cardboard box with me..
I honestly wonder sometimes if I am going to lose my frigging mind.
So you're sitting there after reading this thinking "wow that's 15 minutes I will never get back." Hey!! I warned you.
This is really the only outlet I have ever used because I was taught to keep this crap inside. Sorry, If you made it this far then I hope the pussy shot made up for it
