So after much neglect I picked up my Viola today. I have determined that I'm really fucking good at it and I'd be nuts to give it up.

*smackes head against wall* But what do I want to do?! I mean, being a classical musician is all fun and good but it can be a hard lifestyle. As is an independant musician.

I dunno, just gotta live for the here and now.

Exactly. Why pick one or the other?
You've heard Hence the Name (http://www.hencethename.com). One of the guys plays accordion. You hear it in a lot of the songs there. I don't see why you can't do something similar with the viola.

Or pursue both independently, even. Plenty of people who play more than one instrument, or do more than one thing. Hell, several members of the Mediaeval Baebes (http://www.mediaevalbaebes.com) are in a goth band.

THAT DOG HAS A PUFFY TAIL!!!!

Like Ian, I couldn't imagine you narowing it down to one choice even if you were so inclined.
You're way to easily distracted, so you might as well roll with it.

You're right, Greg.

Brodie, you're into so many things... pick one for your career, let the others be hobbies. One of the many dreams I had was going to OCAD and becoming a graphic designer. I decided to stick with programming, as it's something I love to do for work, just not as a hobby, and do digital music and art on the side when I feel inclined.

OH MY GOD

Brodie, I'm glad to hear you picked it back up. If it feels good do it. I find whenever I pick up my guitar, I have to be in the mood/mindset to play. I think it goes the same way for any given artistic endeavor. You've got to feel it I think. I'll be thinking about this the when I grab my guitar tommorow
