Concerning Hobbits

I made a list not to long ago of things I want to accomplish. Some fun, some challenging, and some are pretty stupid, which is why I refuse to show anyone this list as a whole. I'll share my dreams as I go. Mainly because I don't want any realistic people, or pessimists, telling me that I can't, or to think realistically. I hate it when I have this great idea, or something I want to do and it's abruptly shot down. or worse when I want something but that something is not what everyone else does so it can't be good. I always though conforming was a bad thing but then there's the most popular, "just go with the flow." Well all this to say, I am in the middle of one of my items on this list. Number One...Learn to play the piano. As a Tullos I feel at a lose when nothing musical comes out of me. I love music but to make it takes you to a whole new level. Thus far I have learned my first complete song...Joyful Joyful, the formal name would be Ode to Joy but my biggest challenge has been playing with two hands, it's so stinking hard. So today I sit down and begin my piano lesson online and have this sudden urge to play "Concerning Hobbits," yes it's Lord of the Rings. I get on youtube and realize this is not a simple song. I can play the first ehh 4 seconds of it but then I really get a encouragement booster when I click to hear the eleven year old play it. All I can think is that it's my parents fault for never forcing me to piano lessons as a child, just like ballet. Although my senior year I almost attempted the ballet thing but quickly realized I was definitely too late on that one. I crossed it off the list.
