Conflicted

I haven't written in forever, but no one is really reading anyway, so no big deal. But I was telling some people about the blog tonight and I like the idea, so here I am resurrecting it. Maybe I'll try to promote it one of these days, too. I already have tons of promotion for my music career that I should but don't do, why would I promote an anonymous blog? I'll just worry about that later.

The main reason I haven't written is because I have moved to a new city and am sitting mostly for one family. This is a city full of musicians and music industry. (Which is why I moved here, duh.) The family I work for is involved in the music industry. In the course of my babysitting, I'm meeting all sorts of talented, creative and sometimes really famous people. This is excellent material for Nanny's blog, but if I start naming names, I won't be anonymous much longer. For instance, I was the only babysitter at a certain birthday party for the 6 year old son of a certain Grammy winning producer last month, so it wouldn't take long for someone to figure out who revealed that this producer candidly admited he loves "Baby" by Justin Bieber. You know, should I happen to blog about something like that.

So I've been conflicted about how to continue. But I'm ready to carry on. This was never supposed to be about gossip anyway. This is supposed to be about negotiating the balance of a day job and a creative dream. And that is happening as much now as it ever was. So like Hannah/Mylie, I will keep living my separate lives and only you, the omniscient reader will know my secret. And hopefully there will be a universal lesson in here somewhere, so the real names won't matter anyway.
