Improv Comedy Music Variety Funtime Show in 3D was awesome. Good work everyone. The acoustic acts were very touching, EATIT was funnier than ever, and Trotsky and Band Practice rocked. I had a lot of fun. Which brings me to the topic of my post, and which is kind of a downer.
The 2 things i most regret not pursuing at this point in my life are improv and music. I'm not saying that I would have necessarily been successful at either, but I really wish I had at least tried. I know I would have really enjoyed both. I know that it's supposedly "never too late", but I feel like it is. I'm going to be going off to college in a few weeks and I probably won't have time to pursue things like that, especially since I'd be starting from scratch. I realize that it's entirely my fault for not trying. I foolishly bought a guitar, thinking "I have quite a bit of spare time with my lack of extra curriculars. I'll teach myself to play." Nope. Turns out I suck at teaching myself anything, especially music. I lack the motivation to learn alone, and the money to hire someone to teach me.
That's why seeing my friends play music is always a bittersweet experience for me. They're all fantastic at what they do and i love listening to the awesome music they make, but in the back of my mind I'm always thinking, "Wow, it'd be really sweet if I could do that. What the fuck, Brian." That always makes me a little sad. I know I sound pathetic talking like it's too late to learn, and I'm going to try to actually make the effort sometime soon, but I lack faith in myself in this respect. Hopefully I can get my ass in gear and get some shit done.
