Work and My "Other Life"

As June slowly passes by and July creeps into view, I decided to take this time to chat a bit about what people have called my "other life".  What is considered my "other life" is really just another facet, or puzzle piece if you will, of my life as a whole.

My passion lies with music, first and foremost, but I also have other aspirations and goals.  In order to pay the bills (you know, those bills have keep the lights on and put food on the table), I work as an accountant. Yes, that would be a numbers-crunching, tax-return-preparing accountant.  While music satisfies the one half of my brain that thrives and lives on creativity, accountancy satisfies the other half of my brain that strives for order and detail.  This characteristics I believe help me be both a better musician as well as a better accountant.  I think the world has pushed people into the direction of being either "left brained" or "right brained".  To that I say, I would prefer to use my entire brain.
