Giving up on Society

I've decided to give up on society.  I have also decided to give up on this blog.  Why should I give away such scholastic knowledge for free?  I might as well save it up for a book and profit from it, not post my thoughts to the internet.  My thoughts are valuable, I am an enlightened thinker.

Music is my favorite thing in the world, but I doubt I can make a living doing it.  Had I lived in the 1960s, I would have been a rockstar.  But this generation is about porno and MMA not rock n roll music.  I'm a bit late.

Two things I could keep doing is practicing and teaching judo and writing books.  I have two books online on Amazon, and I am in great shape for a 41 year old.  In my prime, between 26 and 30, I was very active in judo and sambo.  It culminated in sambo at the age of 30.

So I am not just a musician.  I am also an author and jacket wrestler.  Aristotle once said, 'where your talents, and the needs of the world intersect, there lies your vocation.'  He was pretty spot on about that one.

If I could, I'd play guitar and sing all day, and ultimately, I'd get nowhere.  I don't want to waste my life.  I need to get more results driven.  Judo can get me some results, and writing can get me some results.

I enjoy writing about many different topics, but I find nutrition writing is most attractive to others.  Everybody loves to gab about nutrition and then go eat a hamburger.  The real lesson of nutrition is, do a little bit every day.  Your diet means your lifestyle, and each morsel of food you eat brings up up or down the health ladder.  It is by being consistent that you get results.  And it takes a lot of patience.

So I must do what I must do.  Every day, I will find time for music, because it soothes my soul.  But I also must be successful and leave something to posterity.  So I will keep writing nutrition books and practicing/teaching judo.  Life is a balancing act. 

I'm not really giving up on society, I am just giving up on Hollywood dreams of being famous and rich.  That will never happen, so I am just letting it go.  Just get over fantasyland.
