Anyone think they should have tried harder to "make it"?

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

that's how I've tried to establish my modelling career. Just waiting for someone to notice me walking down the street.

And I'll bet you do it with such a sweet wiggle... I mean, um...

T-bone, my box must be full. but you said "innocent" and "porn" and "straight" - I'm there! I don't suppose Ashlynn Brooke will be at all involved?

[atomic charvel guy]

your box must be full, and i know for a fact that this girls box is full too.
she is who i booked you with.

I'll bet she was a looker back the day! Btw, how is your mum?

Strangely (or not, really) I have an erection after listening to that fox talking filthy.

[atomic charvel guy]

G, it's only fair that I think it's time you let me manage the Smacker and donate more time to his career than yours at this point. cool?

[VitaminG]

not a problem, T. He might benefit from your guidance

[atomic charvel guy]

thanks for your unselfishness. don't worry, I'm still your agent, just kicking a few doors open for the Smacker, who I might add,
looks to have the potential to be the biggest earner this year of all my clients, if he would just sign with me already.

Are you kidding me? Im glad I havent made it yet. Im already bored and want to start over with fresh input from others. I cant imagine playing the same 20 of my own songs day after day for months straight. Do I wish for the money, who doesnt? Maybe Id be better suited for self production or studio work. Sometimes I think about quitting and noodling around at home by myself. Honestly Im kind of confused about what direction I want to go in music right now. I really admire the guys on the board here that just self produce, like Moshwitz for example.

I don't know.
Making it in my opinion isn't so much a "try harder" thing.

So much goes into it that isn't related to "try harder."
Having or being in a band/group that all members have the same commitment, on the same page and have above average playing and writing skills.
And being at the right place at the right time is also extremely important.

Whether it be make a living at it or being a rock star - its much harder to be a rock star.
You can't live like a rock star when you are only making a living at it. You'll get laughed at and should.

Making a living at it is where these days the better musician's are.
They have invested in the gear and most of the time they set up their rigs themselves and don't have roadies and techs.
Music is so saturated right now and because of this it makes it much harder to make a living at it.

With that said, I gave the dream up years ago.

I like where I'm at right now and have for some time.
I'm so not gonna hop back in the seat again.
I have no extra or leisure time.
I enjoy my life I like myself, my family and my day job.
Things are good.
If it ain't broke it doesn't need fixing.
