My escape as a child was always music. I can remember past to days spent in the back of my fathers Trail Blazer listening to the likes of Metallica or Rush, Music was always there. When i was even younger I used to always remember going up to Boston to be with my extended family and my cousin Marco would always play bass when he was just sitting around. I never got around to it. Although it looked cool I just didn't if it was what I wanted to do.
It was in seventh grade when i started becoming more of a critical listener to music actually picking apart songs and listening to different parts. I still had no clue if I wanted to play music at all. Around November a letter came in the mail about my acceptance to a prestigious school on Staten Island. In short my family was excited however i wasn't, Little did i know those would be the greatest times of my life.
I signify 7 years ago as the start of the most exciting times of my life. As a gift for my birthday and being accepted to the school my mom bought me a pair of tickets to see Blink 182 preform at the PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey. The concert was on the last day of school which was nearing closer and closer.
When the day finally came and I was at the concert watching the band take stage you could say i was star struck or in awe but there was one thing i saw. Mark Hoppus the bassist and vocalist took the stage in his Chuck Taylor's and pink signature bass and just said one word....Fuck. He went on to joke about farts. Sing about girls. From that moment watching him command the crowd and start to play with the band made me realize one thing. Thats what I want to be doing in the next ten years...
