I want to be a professional bass player. I am going to BE a professional bass player!

So help me.

Mark my words, I am dedicating my life to bass playing, and I am hereby going to PLAY MY ASS OFF, EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE WEEK, AND NEVER STOP IMPROVING, AND NEVER STOP GROOVING, NEVER STOP JAMMING MY HEART OUT UNTIL THE DAY I DIE, AND BY JACO I WILL MAKE ENOUGH MONEY DOING IT THAT I DON'T HAVE TO WORK, JUST PLAY BASS ALL THE TIME!

There. That is my ultimate life goal: to play bass professionally and do what I really love.

I pledge allegiance to the funk...
