If you're pushing 40, can't play an instrument, and rarely perform, don't expect to get a record deal. It just doesn't happen that way.
Not that it isn't possible. Anything can happen. But if you really care, don't you want to have the best odds possible?
The market is only so big and major labels only have so many resources to devote to breaking new acts. If you're in this for the fame, there are easier ways to go about attaining that.
And if you like music, and you're in the music business because of it, start concentrating on that music. Make the fans you have happy. Word will spread about what you're doing.
But if it doesn't...who cares? When you enjoy the process, it doesn't matter.
