now that i just turned 18....

I had my first legal beers when I turned 18. The drinking age was different back then. I was smoking cigs at 16.

At that age everything and anything was a distraction from practicing bass (drinking, women, more drinking and occasionally play bass when I wasn't working or occupied with the things previously listed). If I had it to do over, I would do a little less drinking, a little more with the ladies :smug: and practicing and playing bass more. ;)


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
 
thanks ya all:)
and kingfisher strong is :cool: the best i find
ula-lalalaleO!

Alright you want some serious life advice. Identify your pursuits. Establish a discipline that can be a peace of mind for you later in life. For instance, we're all bass players. Playing bass is a discipline. A discipline is necessary when you come home from a horrible day at work, or when life just seems to be plodding along in a rut. A discipline provides your mind a healthy stress release. The goal of life is to combine your discipline, that study which brings you pleasure, with a sustainable way to support yourself and potential family. Sounds simple right? Many of us spend our whole lives in this pursuit. :)

i have been working on being disciplined about some of my deeper pursuits and i have always believed thats the best way to go about anything, its sort of like the discipline it self is the path to the goal self-realization which is shaping up inside me but as always its harder said then done ......hope i would be able to follow it better :)

LOL. I remember flying Kingfisher from Mumbai to New Delhi, and they had that "ula-lalaleO!" at the beginning of every announcement, and at the start and end of the safety video. I probably heard it about 7 or 8 times all up throughout the flight. After about a week of it stuck in my head I finally forgot it, then I flew Kingfisher again between New Delhi and Chennai, and I was singing it for another week. :(

Such an annoying jingle! :p

Off topic: Just realised we got the Atoz emotion. Lol!!! :D :atoz: :eyebrow:
 
i just turned 18 a few minutes back!and i wish to take it as an important milestone in my life... but the reason why am posting this is i want to know did you guys made any commitments to yourselves when you turned 18?
i somehow want to form a fixed time everyday practice routine for my self something which i have never been able to do in the past? i would be glad if you share your music practice routine....

When I turned 18, I left my 17 yr old girl friend for fear of getting arrested. I also started making friends with older successful people in the fear that one day, I may need a real job.
 
just came back to my birthday thread to say thanks to everyone who posted :) :D
