*****WARNING!!! PERSONAL BLOG AHEAD*****
I've always kept everything on my website and myspace very professional. All blogs are not that personal. I've always felt that I would use the internet as a tool to promote myself professionally. So I usually talk about music, film, food and other activities. But maybe I should try writing something personal. I consider myself an open book, so why am I so closed in print.
*****WARNING!!! PERSONAL BLOG AHEAD*****
Well, I am working. And when I say working, it means I am not doing what I love. The only reason I work is to make ends meet. Well I guess the problem is that my ends never meet. Right now i am building a 4 stage broadcast facility. I guess it's better than working at best buy. The things is, I'm good at it. I can totally make a career doing it. But I don't want to do that. I can't. But I am working for a friends company. And that's really the only time I work. If a friend has a business, I'll work for them when they need me. But that's it. I need to be free. So I can work on my real passion. Music. I don't care what it is, performing, recording, scoring, creating, recreating. The sad part is, that over the past few years I have been working more and playing less. I freak out when I realize this. It almost scares me. I'm just glad that I have a good enough head on my shoulders that I don't fall into depression or drugs. I mean, I feel great. I guess that is one off my amazing traits. That I don't get upset when things don't go as I planed. Well, even though I have worked a lot for the past couple of years, I can also look back at know that apparently I DID have time for my passion projects. 2005 I worked for a construction company, but I did play with a band, worked on a film, and released an CD. whoa... 2006 Worked 7 months at 2 wiring facilities,but I scored and edited a full length feature film. And now 2007, worked a lot, but scored another film and began a new band. So i guess I have been able to do both. But what will happen in 2008? Not sure yet. I'm hoping to release a CD with the new band, maybe a CD of my own, maybe start work on another film, and try not to work at all. I know some people aren't so astonished by the things I've been doing. It's the way it goes here in New York. The starving artist don't starve anymore. They work for a little and then play for a little. That's just the way it is.
Well some more person stuff. I've been single for a while. Once again, I guess I'm lucky that i don't get depressed about it. I am also lucky that I have really great friends. It's almost like I don't need anyone else. I'm not really sure what I want in a relationship, but I think I know who I am, now. If that makes any sense. I'm not even sure if I have time for a relationship. Just in case anyone was wondering, I like: blondes or brunettes or redheads. I like em' tall or short. Good or bad. Smart or dumb. etc... HAHAHA....
I need a haircut. I've been growing my hair out for a while now, but I need to get it styled and cut. And I need to get it done right. I think I need to just go and get a $100 haircut by some great stylist. Maybe $200. I don't know. Does anyone have any ideas????
I'll be in New Orleans, for halloween. I am looking forward to it, very much.
Well all the variables are a little crazy, but hey, that's life. And either way it goes, I know I'm gonna be alright. Although, my 10 year high school reunion will be in 2 years, and I hope I'll have a better story to tell. But if not, I think I'm doing pretty good. I am at such a great point in my life, and have been here for a while, that I don't what to be doing anything else. Man, that sounds like a slogan for some resort.
