Back when I was in high school (in the late 1990's) I developed a new hobby -- writing songs.
I shared them with a few friends and a few therapists!
I even tape-recorded (with a cassette: yeah, that's how old school the times were) a demo that I never released!
However, as I got older, I gained new responsibilities and new hobbies.
I eventually faded away from writing songs, and used my blogs as a way to vent to the world!
AS I mentioned recently, I have re-gained an interest in joining the music industry, this time by make digital music on the computer.

You can hear a few instrumental tracks at https://soundcloud.com/pablo-the-mad-tiger-warrior
I am also looking into money making opportunities (ie. online distribution, licensing) for my instrumental tracks that I hope to make official within a month!

I was also thinking about making a separate blog to post my song lyrics!
So earlier tonight, I looked at the songs I wrote back in the late 90's, early 2000's.
OMG! Dammmmmmmm!
Some of the songs I wrote had so much anger! You think Eminem is nuts, look at what I wrote?
Other songs were so sexually explicit! It was like I was competing with 2 Live Crew!
I'm too old for all that!
Just seeing these lyrics is a reminder of how much I matured over a decade!
Just seeing these lyrics is a reminder of how working at a job with serious role model responsibilities has evolved my mentality so much that I am no longer comfortable recording much of what I wrote!
It's not that I no longer have anger! It's NOT that I no longer have sexual thoughts. It's just that I have evolved to the point where I no longer express those thoughts in the same way!
If I have free time, I might post a few song lyrics that I am still comfortable with!
But as for now, I'll just stick with making instrumental tracks, writing blog posts and making YouTube speeches!

As for those songs, you might have to wait until I die, or those folders get stolen (hidden among the tons of folders I have) before they get released! By then you would understand why at 35, I am distanced from what I wrote as a teen/young adult!
