Music's a very big thing for me. I was never into sport. I did music. In my mid-thirties, I still find music endlessly fascinating. As I write this, we've just had the new Chilli Peppers' album from Amazon. Last week it was Tool's new one, 10,000 Days. I've gone mad for P___ R_____ R_______*, even buying rarities because they have one marginally different mix upon them from eBay. God knows how many albums K___ and I get through in a year. I know I have two piles next to my PC that are about to topple over and we don't have room. Time for another trip to Ikea for a Benno or two!
I have to wonder how much my life is going to change..? I am simply not going to be able to indulge my desire for music like I have for the past 20 years. Cash will be needed for the baby. I don't mean to imply that if I buy one album the baby will go without, but just to indicate I understand my priorities will have to change. I won't have the time to spend on it the way I have. At least, that's my understanding.
The thing is, at the moment, I understand that intellectually but I have to be honest with you and say it doesn't quite mean anything. I'm sure things are going to change, and my understanding is that it's unlikely to cause me that many sleepless nights when it does - we'll have a baby for that - but that my priorities will just shift of their own natural accord.
One thing I am increasingly sure of, I probably have very little real idea about what's ahead...
