Music
You know, I like to think that I'm carving out a pretty good life for myself - I'm out of debt, freelancing, cushy schedule, enough money for a streamlined lifestyle. I'm doing it by programming for a couple of clients, billing hours working from home and needing to pull in the very occasional stressful week (like this one) to meet a deadline, sitting here in front of my iBook and coding in perl.The problem is, I'm just not a geek at heart. And I'm sitting here programming and then on iTunes, in succession, I hear a beautiful french (basque actually) piano prelude from the early 1900's, another classical piano tune by Grieg that was the entire reason I became a pianist (Notturno), and one of the songs I wrote that I'm pretty proud of for a roughdraft and actually think has a lot of potential but has long since left my fingers... and I start to go insane. What the hell am I doing?
