Next Time Around (Or Mid-life Crisis)

I have decided what I want to do either in my next life or in the event of a mid-life crisis.  I am going to become a  rockabilly guitar goddess.  I will play a big ol' Gretsch Anniversary, or maybe a Gibson 359.  Maybe both.  Whatever suits my fancy.  (But the Gibson needs to be blue.)  I will rock out in 4 inch stiletto peeptoes and never, ever get my red lipstick on my teeth.  The victory rolls my red hair will be done in will be flawless.  I will not get stage fright, and every riff I play will be ingenious.

Fame will not be my goal; my goal is to let the outer me match the inner me. I am a totally glamorous rocker-chick on the inside.  On the inside I am confident and can pull off rockabilly style with ease.  I can play my air-guitar so well Chet Atkins would be jealous.  In my inner-confident fantasy world, I NAIL it.  I am the female Johnny Cash.  My swagger is legendary.  In my own mind.

I think maybe Joe should pray his mama never goes through a mid-life crisis.
