My hands are screwed up. I have not sung anything in over 6 years and am horribly out of practice.

But the main thing is that I wanted that life so badly. All of my talents and abilities are for that profession. Yet, after 43 years and ending up a complete failure... well, it just hurts to even think about any aspect of it anymore.

Oh well.
