We All Wanna Be Big Rock Stars

We all wanna be big rock stars

I was in my car the other day and I was listening to that song “We all wanna be big rock stars… fifteen cars,”

This got me thinking, I used to want the rock star life style, I used to regularly sing, “take my picture by the pool cause I’m the next big thing!”

But what is the rock star life style, besides actually performing on stage, what is it? The more I read or hear about the “stars” the less I think I want to be one. The song goes,…”and the drugs come cheap we’ll all stay skinny cause be just won’t eat.” Personally I’m not so into the drug thing. From what I’ve seen it makes smart people stupid with them and stupid people become retarded.

Another thing I’ve noticed about rock stars is they all die young. Me I would rather be something with a little more longevity, although I’m kind of looking forward to the next chapter of my life I think I’ll enjoy my time alive as long as possible.

So we all want to be big rock stars… The more I think about it the less I’m interested. I can’t honestly imagine my life sitting around making up nice sounding songs. Furthermore the more you sit around thinking of cool hip songs, the less you actually live, which means your song will have no depth, kind of like talking to an infant.

I think the only part of the rock star life style I do like is the cars. Yes I’m materialistic enough to say I like fast cars, which are generally follow by racy women. Having fallen in love recently and looking to propose, I don’t think I’m interested in fast women, more so I’m less interested in contracting an STD. The real problem is sure you can have loads of fun with loads of girls but the more you do it, the less it means. It’s like a candle, eventually it burns out, and then all you’re left with is old memories of the good days.

You often see the stereotype high school football hero depicted as a washed up loser. Me I don’t want to be a loser.

Where am I going with this?

If we all want to be big rock stars and party all night and sleep all day, take loads of drugs and drink our lives away. Then why did Kurt Cobaine and Elvis Presley kill themselves?
What do you want out of your life? A big fancy car or life that has meaning? Do you want to attend all the big parties, or do you want, to have a few close friends who truly know who you are? The offspring said it in one of their songs. You know everybody’s name but there was no one there you know.”

I’m not sure what I want these days. Sometimes I want to be the guy cut off from the world other times I want to be in a crowd, but most of all lately I want to be an asset to society and not a liability.

My goals are simple do the best I can at whatever I am doing and make a difference wherever I can. I want to find meaning and embrace happiness. I want to cast aside the negative and nurture the positive.

I seek balance…
