my opinion is the same with Mark,
especically when they were so many others wanting to tell you what to do.
(i.e. experiences with parents)
then i realized "talent" never went with "tradition".

This was a little discovery after a phonecall with my dad,
he told me otis redding wasn't a tradition but he's super talented.

have a nice evening!
