Following in the footsteps of the interviews going around the web, my great friend Kristy over at She Just Walks Around With It offered up this question specifically for me:
What’s your biggest current dream that you think really could be a possibility someday?
That’s a tough question.
First, I refuse to give up the idea that I could someday hear myself singing on the radio and embarking on a world tour. I realize that as I get older that possibility dissipates, but as long as there are 65 and 70 year old guys doing it (I’m looking at you Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney) I’m not calling it a dead dream. (Of course, in order to achieve it, I should be spending more time developing an original project. ::sigh::)
Secondly, whether or not I get myself on the radio or not, I really want to get one of my songs on the radio. I used to be a prolific songwriter. For a short period of time I was cranking out a minimum of a song per week. This was back when I was surrounded by musicians all the time, seeing a lot of live shows and had the motivation to carry a tape of my latest song around with me to hand out. I actually had a song published that George Strait wanted to record and put “on hold” for inclusion on an album. He never recorded it, and I am no longer in Nashville to hand it out again. Once I got out to California, after having my ass handed to me during the Record Contract Ordeal, I got distracted by other pursuits, mostly the NEED to make enough money to survive living in Northern California. Not a week goes by now that I don’t kick myself for not spending some time writing a song, or at least attempting to write a song. I’ve toyed around with a few recently, but again, the NEED to find an income has taken priority.
Thirdly, I’d like to figure out how to make enough of an income online to finance the first two dreams. This is the part that I’m attacking full force at the moment. I’m making a little bit of headway so far, the concepts and instructions from WealthAffiliate.com (aff) are fairly easy to follow and the concepts are easy to understand. Now I just need the focus.
Ooooh look, something shiny…
I could make a laundry list of the other things I’d like to accomplish with my life. I won’t because I think it would depress me to see all the things I haven’t done laid out in an easy to read checklist.
Thanks for the question, Kristy. BTW, if you’re not regularly reading Kristy’s blog, you are missing out on some funny stories and fantastic writing.
