It seems I have lost all love for almost everything exept people and music. If im not on my bass im board out of my mind. I don't even touch my ps2 or the other computer games I would normaly play. My life is slowly going to be 100%music. Is this good &/or normal?

Go to concerts, read books, visit an art museum, play chess, play sports, learn to fly an airplane, fall in love -- stuff that will make your life richer. It will come out of your bass in one way or another eventually.

I'd say go with it, soak it up. You will eventually level out at some point, just come up for air once in a while and like the earlier guy said, go see a movie or someone else play. I wish I could get my kid to get off the TV or games. Nice problem to have.

During the time you're not practicing, read a dictionary. Then you'll be able to pass both orchestra and english class. |

I have plenty of past hoobies that have collected dust now that I have narrowed things down to what I really want to do. Just go with it I say. A single-minded focus will only make you better.
