I was talking about how I chose to go into the performing arts almost 20 years ago and how it has basically taken me all over the world and given me a lot of good memories along the way.
I could have stayed with my painting business, but I’m sure I would have been miserable and wished I had taken the chance I did.
I’m not famous or anything, but I think the real joy of the arts comes from creating and connecting with them, not from how many followers you have or how much money you have. Heating and cooling system stories help me make money so I can keep doing the arts, and I’m so thankful for that because I love writing about space heaters and other things. If my body decides it can last that long, I would love to play music for another 25 years and make a lot of cool songs with my band. If local businesses keep having us perform there, I know that my dream will come true. If I made it another 25 years, I would have been in show business for 45 years. Since I didn’t start until I was 38, that’s a pretty good run. I’m writing this while sitting next to my little air purifier for the whole cabin. In a few minutes, I’ll hop on my bike and go outside to enjoy the cool little town I call home. I’ll also call my mom tonight if I feel well enough to do so. Right now, I have the flu.
