I'm going nuts. I barely have time to maintain one blog and here I am creating another blog. I author 2 blogs (I Love-Hate America and Praise With All My Heart), and now I'm building a 3rd one. Well, there were so many reasons pushing me to snip more of my time away from leisure for this blog. My husband urged me to do so. Why? In the hopes of getting more audience and exposure to their music. My husband is a musician. Yea, I'm married to one. So you can imagine living with one. The music spiffs into the air like a pleasant aroma in our humble dwelling,reverberating all the time. But because we live in a condo, I sometimes have to remind him to turn the volume down. While watching TV, he riffs the guitar. Sometimes, in the morning, I'd wake up to music on his keyboards. Because he plays in a volume so low, the playing could lull me back to dreamland. His car is a music mobile--with a Sirius radio, a CD player and a standard radio all packed in 4 door sedan. When I'm with him in his car, we sing and holler like kids.
Now, about the habitation I co-exist with my wannabe-rockstar husband; it's a hot mess. My freakish neatness-behavior is challenged all the time in our abode. Rockstar-husband has an enormous load of musical gear----amps, guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, microphones, headsets, cables, and endless strings of cords and more cords. The CD's collection on the CD shelves are bursting at their seams. We even have the turntable and a huge collection of vinyl records from the 60's to the 80's. And there's more music gear in our storage---it really doesn't end. Honestly, I am getting tired of organizing his stuff every so often because he cannot keep it consistently and regularly neat. My husband thinks I yell too much about clutter. Of course, I yell so much about clutter.
When my husband was a kid, his brothers complained that he sang while he was asleep. He also loved his toy guitar so much. His mother, sensing his innate musical abilities at age 8, enrolled him for piano lessons. And 3 years later, got hooked on guitar. From then on, all he ever dreamed was to become a rockstar. He said he even had a shirt that says "I have no car, I have no house, I have no job, but I'm in a band." Call that a typical definition of a young wannabe-rockstar'. He never did become a rock star but his life and occupation revolve around music. He is a Music teacher by profession, a guitar instructor, and a guitarist for 2 bands. These accomplishments made me think I am a rockstar's wife. Hahahah! Hence, I'd like to call myself a "rocker's wife."
But then I am proud I'm married to my husband, the musician. Our lives are always playing happy music together. When our spirits are downtrodden, we have his music to ease the blues and to chill out to. He plays the guitar or the keyboard/piano. He can sing tunes and goofily dance. I greatly admire him for his great talents.I still like to think he is my rockstar. And I'm the rockstar's wife--a rocker's wife, so to say.
And this goes to say,I'm going to blog about being a rocker's wife. And not only that, I will also let my husband write what he wants to share in this blog. Wait up for further posts.
According to my own analysis, millions of people in the world receive the loans from well known banks. Hence, there's a good possibility to find a bank loan in any country.

The only thing in the music department that I am any good at is playing the radio... LOL My husband writes songs but needs someone to put music to them.. Neither of us no how to do that and he doesn't sing. If you or anyone you know is interested, let me know.
Thanks so kindly
Many blessings

Well done this is great. I can understand what it is like as I was a full time Singer once with a whole load of Instruments in my house as I was learning to play Tablas and Sarangis and all sorts. I was heavily into the World Ethnic thing. I was asked to join a Heavy Metal band ..I didn't mind to do vocals and hend banging but the stage diving bit got me frazzled so I passed on that. I get dizzy diving! Good luck with your new blog and you Hubby's Musical endeavors. I sympathize on both accounts hehe.

Hi Bingkee, Congrats on this new blog. I am sure this one will be a hit as well as you are very good in what you do.
I do hope you continue with your ILOVEHATE America blog- like most said, you cannot please everybody....
I try not to think of what other would think anymore of me, because it would be like living my life for them.

Hi Bing,
Way to go, Rocker's wife! I'm a music lover, so I'm sure I will enjoy your new blog. You can upload his music here, so others can listen.

Viviene, you will find having two blogs is like trying to take care of two small children; they constantly need attention. I congratulate you on starting your new blog. I'm not a wannabe rockstar. But, I am a wannabe writer. I am almost finished with my blog novel (click on my site below). I hope the Lord gives me the courage and strength to attempt to have it published! I don't know if links work here or no. But, in honor of this new blog, either click on the link below or copy and paste to your browser. Best of luck to you and hubby! :)
