I worked at Wired For Sound Studio and was asked to study and learn all of the music equipment on my own. No way! It was a volunteer position. It was a tedious task put forth before me that I did decline. I had no desire to be slaving in the studio, trying to learn the equipment. The producer says I gotta get this beat out of my head, as does the lyricist! But alas, mastering your craft can only make you all that much better. So, I guess that’s why I only have a few endeavors in my music career in spite of wanting to make an album back then. I just heard a conversation on this yesterday, about having the money to pay others to do your work versus making it all happen yourself. It’s very time-consuming, so you have that want and desire to do it! I can recall even walking away from computer programming as I saw it was quite the tedious task for such a small reward.
The same thing would apply to my accounting endeavor. While I excelled at it in high school, I ran into a crucial issue with it in college once I switched my major to the business side of radio marketing and advertising. But I faced a problem I could not solve, to the point I began to believe the system was rigged in that the professor couldn’t get it right. It was the beginning of the conspiracy theories as I had gathered haters by then who despised even my noted D.C. thing of wearing my skully headgear. They considered it my new very own religion if I didn’t hear it mistakenly. I’d even say this was about the time that I somehow missed out on getting a TLC interview in spite of being in the place to be. Oh well! Who needs those types of headaches?
