Realising and work

Today was a realising day for me. It turns out a second year of a degree can and will be quite hard work. My lecturer landed some work on us today which will takes ages to do and require a lot of hard work, that combined with the rest of the work we have to do all adds up to an amount that I don't wish to think about. This got me thinking, as I sat not doing the work the lecturer set us, that all this work I will eventually do (as will the rest of my class) will more than likely lead me no where. The work itself, the exercises set, I cannot see being used in future life. For anybody's information I do a music degree and before you say it no, its not 'just sitting round playing drums all day' as my girlfriend always says, you silly silly people. Back to the work. The exercise we had set involved replacing chords with Roman numerals? I know, what the fuck right? I then realised that I'm already in 2 bands, looking for more in the future probably, I am also the drummer! Who doesn't need to use chords or how to replace them with Roman numerals. But coming out of all that I realised that it was for the very end of my course when everything gets forgotten about, all the work sheets, exercises, recording etc. and I get that little piece of paper that says I have a degree. Now, having a degree, what's the real point? Especially having a music degree, I can hardly walk into EMI records, flash them my certificate and get a record deal, but I can 'get far in teaching with it'. I DON'T WANT TO TEACH MAN RICHARD, STOP SAYING THAT. I want to play drums forever and ever, maybe there's such a job as a drum tester, that would be epic. I can always dream I suppose...

Mock The Week is well funny. Oh, and that fucking 'Glee' is awful, people who enjoyed it should be killed. Ahem.

I suppose this is all leading up to the fact that I will have nothing to fall back on. I've gone too far into music to turn back and get a day job. I'd like to say I've got too much talent to let it go to waste, I haven't, I'm just an annoying drummer who taps on everything when the Lady Gaga song is playing on the radio. I'm sorry if a lot of this is rambling on I'm watching Mock The Week while typing this and half concentrating on both, I'm also tired and a bit annoyed at this and stressed over this work. But I do wish that I could just make it in one of my bands, I know it'll never happen, it just won't. I'm not one of those 'guys who'll get somewhere' but at the same time I can't see myself in a regular day job settling down being an ordinary guy. I don't know, the future is a funny thing to think about and when I say future I don't mean 2 or 3 months I mean 5 or 6 years. Imagine yourself in 5 or 6 years now? Strange isn't it.

But none the less, its pointless me wishing and talking shit on here, I need to get out there, record songs, play gigs, get all up in it. Which I think I'm doing enough of I just don't think I'm doing it in the right places, but, once again as I say. We'll have to wait and see what the future holds.

Wish me luck motherfuckers.
