I don't want to be a rock star any more, I'll be happy to just learn to really play my favorite songs and pull together a band that no one ever listens to.<BR/><BR/>Because learning to play has always seemed an unattainable dream for me due to a short attention span and depression. But I'm finding that our successes, no matter how small, tend to build upon one another and snowball<BR/><BR/>I remember a video interview where Billy Corgan (of smashing pumpkins fame) said he grew up in a family that raised him for failure, and just the idea of stepping onto a stage, any stage, and actually playing in front of people seemed like an unattainable pipe dream. Well look how things turned out ^_^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907530.post-1141802582287969972006-03-08T01:23:00.000-06:002006-03-08T01:23:00.000-06:00it's not only important to a son, but to a daughte...it's not only important to a son, but to a daughter as well..<BR/><BR/>this weekend i stopped by my father's house to help him install his wireless router. i intentionally brought in my letter of acceptance for the new position i have recently taken. it was the first time that i've seen my father's face fill with pride because of me..and it did wonders for me on the inside. :)genhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950964734512920587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907530.post-1141794623753682662006-03-07T23:10:00.000-06:002006-03-07T23:10:00.000-06:00that is so sweet. i wish my parents had that kind ...that is so sweet. i wish my parents had that kind of support for me then and now, and i'll be 30 in julyMaggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884353212360311004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907530.post-1141758104800441022006-03-07T13:01:00.000-06:002006-03-07T13:01:00.000-06:00I think the single most important thing to a son i...I think the single most important thing to a son is his father's approval.
