i always thought i would be...

...a drummer. Okay, so maybe it sounds silly, but it's true. I've always loooved percussion, and I played drums for a bit when I was younger. I think it goes hand-in-hand with my love for music, and I just knew that I was going to be in a band like the ones I admired. Well, obviously life has taken me in a completely different direction and I'm clearly not a drummer, but if I could choose for one of my crazy dreams to come true, I'd still choose that one!

Okay, since I'm talking about drums, I figured this post wouldn't be complete without one of the greatest drum solos of all time...Church Lady on Church Chat! How about you? What big dream did you have when you were younger, and if you could choose to be or do anything, what would it be?

  3. That's awesome. Love it. You should still consider it!

    I always thought I would be an American Gladiator. Seriously, I did. At this point, I don't know what I want to do with my life, career-wise.

  5. oh i love percussion or bass instruments. i totally wish i could be an upright bassist. (by the way i am so glad i could point you to the books, i've been a fan for a while. i was trying to figure out the title of my favorite song but it's only listed as track 2 in my itunes so i'm really bummed. but i'll keep trying!)

    i always thought i was some kind of alien princess that would soon be scooped up and taken "home." isn't that crazy!? i wish i still felt that unique today.

  11. Oh Danielle,

    Do you know "the builders and the butchers"? You should give them a listen, their percussions are amazing, they actually have 2 drummrs! They are from Portland and I love their backwoods sound with city influences!
