    I used to play the trumpet when I was a lot younger then gave it up. About a year ago I wanted to take it up again, but my landlords weren't up for it. :( I would like to learn the acoustic guitar, but right now I don't have the time to put the energy into it that I know I need to. hmm maybe one day though..

    thats kinda what happened to me with the flute. I played when i was bout 11 then gave it up cuz i was a twat and thought it wasnt cool.
    Then bought another 3 years ago as i lost my job and was bored.
    my brother also did the same with the violin and just yesterday i was having pretty much the same convo with another mate who played piano when younger and getting another now!.
    I wish i had never give up when i did because I would prob kick ass by now.:p

    Also playing an instrument and reading music is really good for keeping your brain from going do-lally-tap, so ive heard!
