Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

I heard this playing today at work and I pretty much just stopped dead in my tracks. I really had to think about it and how hearing the song was really what I needed because its how I've been feeling lately. I have finally decided about college and I dont think I am going to go, atleast not this coming year. It really was something unpredictable but I know in the end it will be right, and this summer to next summer I will have the time of my life because I will be using it to just work on whatever I want. My plan is to get a full time job this summer and to work had and get tons of cash. While I am not working I am going to use that time to work on music. I want to put out a CD by the end of summer. I know a place where I can record everything and I have some ideas of where to sell or promote it. I have some awesome people that I'm sure would love to help me when it comes to playing. But what it really comes down it is just being able to say yeah, I accomplished something. I may not have a degree or a deploma, but to me what I have is better. I have a disc with my heart and soul in it, and there are others listening to me pour it out. After this I'm going to try getting back with some friends I know and start playing around, churches and what not and get my name out there, maybe take the band if things work out. Baby steps though, I know things will happen one way or another. I am really excited to take a year off and just do what I want. To not have any deadlines or things I HAVE to do besides work. It will be good, Gooooood.

Yes, baby steps, on day at a time. Nothing ever comes with out hard work. You have a goal thats great, but remember in God's Time.
Have you thought about taking one class at a time while you work? You can do that at PCC and at least you have your foot in the door wherever you apply next year without the scrutiny of the year in-between, (it means less placement testing and less money out in general while you save for going full-load.) =D just an idea to get you thinking... more :P
You do know that it like 5 times harder to get into college after taking a year off and twice that hard to get signed or even make a CD? Look at Charles, he had a CD and was an established artist but that took years and years to just get the few CD's he had. I'm just playing devil's adovcate because I really don't think it is a good idea to not go to college. I have had so many freinds that took that year off and never really made it back to college or the idea of college. So I'm just worried about you. If you have the chance and the means to go to college I would because not too many people get that chance and would kill for it. So its not something that should be thrown away on a whim, really. Pray about it and try to meet with someone who has already done it and ask them how they did it and see if it is for you. And then pray about it. Pray and Pray and pray about it. Good luck!
