Yin and Yang

I know without cost, none of it would be worth it.  If we don't put effort or work in, what have we accomplished?

I get it, I really do.  If three years of law school wasn't enough pain to get my J.D., I don't know what was.

But why, for the love of all that is holy, must I trim my fingernails to play guitar???

I love my guitar.  I suck.  But I love it.  I've always wanted to master it (never did).  But last year, I pulled it out again and started teaching myself.  Learned maybe a dozen songs, too!

But I love nail art.  Painting my nails pretty colors and whatnot.  Granted, I'm very limited on the colors I can wear in my chosen profession, but I can wear fun colors are the weekend.

What I hate (at least on me) are short and stubby nails.  It's like...a really weird pet peeve of mind.  I have never liked having short nails.  I think I feel like it elongates my hand, I dunno.  I've just always envied women with healthy, strong, not-short nails.

That's not to say I want these!

But a little tip is nice, in my opinion.

But goodness does it make playing the guitar difficult.  Whenever I get on a kick about improving my guitar skills (and let's face it, I'm in the middle of bar prep so just about anything else sounds awesome), I have this debate of how much I really want to learn.  Should I trim my nails all the way down?  Or just kind of flub it?

Anyway, I guess it's my yin and yang when it comes to playing the guitar, everything has a cost and balance.

This one is just particularly lame.

Now, if only I had a proper acoustic guitar...(my favorite)
