Lights, Camera, Action!

I am 31 years old and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.

Is that normal?

I suspect it is, but many people just don't want to admit it. It's good to have a plan.

I don't have a plan.

So. I tell you what. I'll admit it to you. Just don't tell anyone. Ok?

Ok.

I never wanted to be an astronaut or a cowboy, a nurse or an actor.

I never wanted to be a lumberjack either, although I'm happy to wear women's clothing and hang around in bars, but it's probably best that we don't go there.

I am a man of contradictions; I am ambitious and driven, and yet at the same time I've drifted into every job I've ever done, enjoyed each and everyone of them, yet am still not sure I've found my niche/nitch.

I'd like to be a lady who lunches, but I suspect I'd fail the medical.

So. Instead. When I'm grown up, I'd like to be one of those people who selects songs to use in movies. That would be a cool job.

I don't know anyone who does that, and I don't even know what the job is called:

'Soundtrack Consultant'

'Motion Picture Music Executive'

'Roy'.

Yeah, I could do a job where I was known as Roy, even though it's not my real name. It would add to the mystique.

This song is perfect for a movie. Any movie where the protaganist is driving at night. In the rain. Dead thoughtful like.

If I were a director like the Coens, or Tarrantino, I'd use this in every film I made, in every scene where the protaganist is driving at night. In the rain. Dead thoughtful like.

It would be like a signature tune. Hitchcock made a cameo in all of his films. Pink Floyd would make them (aurally speaking) in mine.

So, if anybody knows a 'Soundtrack Consultant' or can put me in touch with a 'Motion Picture Music Executive' then please do.

Alternatively if you're name if Roy feel free to get in touch. I think we'd have a lot in common.
