We cannot escape from who we are

I just realized that I'm quite a nerd about music. Why am I even in Journalism sometimes?

Today my mom was discussing the WikiLeaks thing on the ride home from seeing Kings of Leon, and I had no interest at all. I wanted to talk about guitar riffs and what makes a certain riff so catchy, why does it hook you in?

I don't know if I could last in Journalism for long. I mean, I love writing and I have a great curiosity for discovering new things- but really. My passion is music.

This reminds me of that Matt Damon movie I saw recently: Rounders (1997). In the end, though he was studying to become a lawyer (a respectable profession), he found out that he really shined at being a poker player. And he went on to Vegas.

We really can't be anything but ourselves.
