This is Wonderland

So I just wrote a really short song and mixed and produced it.  I've never had so much fun in my life.

I mean really.  I was just sitting there and recording and messing around the with keyboards and guitars and one thing led to another and i ended up writing a song about Alice in Wonderland.  Might upload it soon.  I spent about 3 hours straight working on it and my dad was actually impressed with it, which was probably the highlight of my day, and played it on the big stereo in the living room and i heard a lot of stuff i need to fix.

Anytime i had a question id ask my dad and hed walk in and get really excited and show me all these really cool effects and stuff and my mom would come and yell at him since he's supposed to be working.  it was fun though.  music is probably the biggest connection between me and my dad.  we both love this kind of stuff.  i wonder if he wouldve gotten into the music business if he wasnt offered the job at ericsson.  i mean, his job works out for him great, but still.  cause he did a cover of SOS by Abba (hah, how swedish is he?) and it was great.  he really knows his stuff.

but ive been thinking about it and i dont think i want to be like him.  he has a great job but he only works on his music when he has time which isnt that often...i dont want to only work on my music when im not working and spending time with family or whatever.  i want to do this forever.  how can you get sick of it? really?

blah.
maybe i dont have to go to NYU and i can just get an internship directly at a record label or whatever.  hmm we'll see.  ill just go there.


but my mom wants me to go into the medical field.  even as a medical technician, just something to do with helping people.

how do you tell your mother who has always supported you and given everything she has to better your education that you want to go into the only field she probably would never approve of you going into?  (other than promiscuous fields, obviously.)
