Practice Makes Still A Long Ways To Go :/

You know, sometimes I wonder if a character trait can be recessive or if Darwinism applies to personality....Am I alone in wondering this? I dunno, but when I look a certain character and personality traits I have I often realize that had I been born maybe 100, 150 years ago there's no way I'd survive....I mean, I imagine having to hunt for food or till a farm to feed myself and my family(yes I know they didn't really hunt for food 100 years ago) and if I was completely honest with myself I'd probably have to say that me and my family would be dead, lol....I know, it's sad, but I know me :/ Anyways, character traits aside today was a milestone for me as a guitar player. Now, by no means am I a virtuoso, but if you were to ask me if I know how to play the guitar, as of today I would say, "Yep." You may ask, "What the heck does that have to do with Darwinism or personality traits?" Well one of my greatest weaknesses is that I don't always put my best foot forward...It was refreshing today to see that my efforts in overcoming my character flaws has spilled over into my one true passion(well second true passion)....Having said that, there are still many many many more calloused fingertips, cramped hands, and ringing ears to go, but I am finally something that I've always wanted to be.....A musician :)

  1. You are such an odd, odd man. OMG Ian!!! You're a MAN! I'm glad you're becoming the musician you want to be. I would love to have heard this session that you say officially makes you a musician. It must have been off the chain. About your character traits... I'm pretty sure there were lazy people hundreds of years ago who figured out a way to survive. You would have figured something out with your endless wit.

  2. you know what I wonder? I wonder if there really is something like telepathic powers...if people can really tune in to the thoughts of others even if by accident cause I think we are somehow doing just that!
    I started my blog yesterday and now today I find out that you have one too!
    I've also thought about how I was born at just the right era as well...just thinking about it...I'd have made a really bad slave...if I got drafted into the WW2 I couldn't bring myself to shoot Japanese soldiers...and just imagine never having the chance to play video games...wow ;p
