I am a student.  My dad works at a steel mill.  My mom is a bum. My mom is a homemaker. I compete in track meets. I like music.
I am gig worker.  I make money making music.  I make money painting. I have been in bankruptcy.  I live frugally. My music speaks to me.
My dad wants to hire a musician for my mom's birthday would you be interested? Oh absolutely man! When's the party planned for? It will be the 14th of July. Going to be a big surprise, so don't tell!  Oh sure thing. What kind of music does your mom like? I'll write a special song She is in to Venetian opera music, but I am sure some rad beach tunes would work.  Yeah, I don't think I can manage much Venetian opera music with my acoustic guitar and I'm definitely no Andrea Boccelli. I've got more of a Billy Corgan voice You do you. She'll love it! So sweet of you to write a song. This will be big for her as she has not really been out of the house in a few years. Yeah I hear that, I didn't leave the house for a while myself once. I had just recovered from having my appendix removed and I got this rad inspiration, I spent almost a whole year sitting at home painting and writing music and I only went out to buy toilet paper You certainly need to be sure that you never run out of that. Wild! I guess you really do love making those terrible choices. I mean, thanks for doing the party, but that is extreme. Terrible choices make life more interesting. And expensive. But definitely interesting. I think I'll call the song, "My Kid Called Me a Bum" Takes one to know one, Ms Frugal Living. What can I say, I see things from an artist's perspective. So how's school going? Still getting straight As? There's always so much to learn in life.
