Chipping in for the money debate, because why not? Personally I find that I only need a certain amount of the stuff and then more spare time would be preferable. Would I find ways to spend more money? For sure, but I wouldn't actually work another shift to get that money when I could just stay home and watch cartoons. Survival doesn't take much financially especially when it's just me rooming with another adult with an income. Not like I'm looking to take on any dependents or anything.
Martin, like myself is hardly the most ambitious fellow. He rooms with Faye who contributes to the finances. He can afford superfluous electronics, to rent a practice place thing (word?), to drink on a regular basis and as a whole money just doesn't seem to be much of an issue for him. I'm sure he wouldn't mind more money, but I do have doubts that making more money would lead to a significant increase in happiness for him. I think that if he had to take on a job with more hours, less convenient hours, a higher workload, or even just a job where he wasn't working with friends to get it he wouldn't see the point. He's got a relatively easy job with good hours and Tai for company throughout that's just mildly eventful enough to have some stories from it. That's pretty hard to beat and seems quite neatly in line with his values.
As noted the band really is just a hobby for him. He doesn't have any big plans for it and that's fine. People often forget that artistic pursuits can be done just for personal enjoyment rather than as a path to success and profit. Seems odd, since "Success and Profit" would be a really backwards reason to take up such a craft, but whatever.

--- Quote from: Mr. Doctor on 11 Aug 2011, 17:30 ---The first time I played with more people was with my band one year ago. I was nervous as all hell in front of some 200+ people.
The cover we did for Opeth's song "Hope Leaves" turned up really good though!

Ever since High School, I've never had to do it anymore, but back then I played in my high school's concert/jazz band. It will probably be the only time I've had absolutely no fear playing in front of everyone. Forgive me for gloating, but I was good, and the whole band was good at what we did, and we all enjoyed every minute of it. I only ever got a slight knot in my stomach whenever I was asked to play a solo, but again once I started the solo, I felt absolutely no fear.
If I ever learned guitar, bass or drums and performed I'd probably have the same sentiment (I've never had the discipline to learn any instrument except for tenor trombone, even though I'd love to learn any of them)... but I can tell right now if I were ever to perform completely on my own I'd be scared shitless.
As for the comic...
Dawwwwww Cute widdle Marten!

Seriously though, I switched to saxophone as soon as I was able. Way easier, way cooler.
Is it cold in here?:
