First class

I had lunch with a friend of mine who is also an attorney. We always talk about everything and nothing.
-Life could be very mundane if you just repeat the same things over and over again. I have a short attention span. So what? We work, work, work and then what. I wish I knew what I wanted. I said.
- Well, why don't you add some passion? I don't mean it that way. I mean doing something that you are passionate about.
_ Yahh. I brought this Daff, an Iranian music instrument, from Iran. I have been playing with it. I am actually looking for a teacher.

So I came back to my office and through one phone call I was able to get a hold of Ostad(teacher) Zolfonon who is a well known Iranian musician. My first session is tonight at 7:30. I am actually excited about it. Sometimes it does not take much time or effort to start something that you like. The key is WANTING to do it. Realizing that you really want to do it and then the rest will follow.

Life as a lawyer can become very repetitive and mundane...i'm realizing that in law school...
I did the same thing with the guitar almost 3 1/2 years ago...i needed something different...something that still makes you think, but makes you use your brain at a different level...and i've been playing it ever since...it's amazing...it's become like meditation for me...you just slip into a a completely different world...but you really have to stick with it...
i want to pick up the setar next...i need to get much better at this first and of course finish law school...
let me know how the lesson goes...
