If you were not able to play music anymore
on: November 24, 2012, 04:35:13 PM
I would be dead.

That's how I'm starting off this college essay.  But I didn't make this thread for help, I'm just curious as what you guys would be doing if you couldn't play music.

I'd write music then. Either that, or I'd paint.




If all fails, back to the video games!

It's probably a better option than dead.

I didn't mean that I was gonna commit suicide.

I was gonna write my essay about how my body when alive is making music, and the only way I could stop make making music is by being dead.

I'd probably spend more time developing 8 bit video games. Am I allowed to compose? I'd also compose (for the games).

i'd have more time to strength train, work on conditioning, and improve my gymnastics skills. i'd probably sneak in more video games. and watch cartoons.

First of all, I would feel dead.
Then, I could try focus on composing music.

But, I can't even imagine that!
