decisions as of late

[katy19]

i am back in college.  back to people expecting me to go to parties and "pick up chicks".  i am very tired of it already.  yes, i am attracted to women, but i respect them because, well, i am one.  anyways, i have decided that after this semester, i will take a break for a semester, work, find a place to live on my own, and discover myself and find the boldness to show other people who i really am.  i still have to make my first shopping trip and go out in public as katheryn.  i wont be able to do that here in college.  plus i am a music major, which im finding i have to jump through lots of hoops just to be able to play in front of people. it just doesnt make sense to me.  also i think finding and becoming myself takes higher priority than education.  any input is extremely appreciated.  blessings to you all!

While both are important, it's good to know who you are and how be able to express yourself to others. Those who accept you as you your real friends. What type of music are you interested in? Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

It gets worse.  What you have to do to be a professional musician is highly distasteful.

this thread is exactly why I decided to major in applied physics...

Can't you just be yourself?  Like Boy George.  He is the ultimate "Just being myself" person.  He did really well.  What I like best about him is that he didn't care what others thought.  I really admire him for that.

[tekla]

Not true.  He cared what his manager thought, his agent thought, what his band thought, what his record company thought and he really, really cared about how many units (CDs/records/tickets) he was moving.  If he didn't care about any of that, you would have never heard about him in the first place.

VH1 did a biography on him.  I need to see it again.  Its probably online somewhere.

You could get him to come over and play for you and cut your lawn for the price of cutting your lawn.  Last I saw him - other than doing community service for chaining some call boy up in his apartment - he was doing a DJ deal.  I think the cover charge was $10.  Really.

I agree Treeflower, Boy George dared to be different which was actually just being himself, and that's why I like him.  He genuinely talks the talk as well as walk the walk, he is REAL, not many muso's can say that!
The U.K gave him a go and that was why he made it, if he had started anywhere else he would never have gotten into a recording studio.

Where did you hear that?  You are abit of a gossipmonger, you know that??  >

[tekla]

Oh well, that was another charge, the community service came from the cops finding weasel dust after he falsely reported a burglary at his house.  He looks like any other middle-age cokehead now
