tracktailor's trimmings

thurs nov 28 aka thanksgiving 8:55pm what a great day today has been. slept in, had dinner with family at noon, cleaned house, and played video games with the homies. I've been at my spot in Logan since August, and it has been vibes imo.  entering producer mode for the winter. I have my laptop station setup for making music rather than mixing it. I'm going to try to start streaming on twitch Fridays 10-2 playing music on my cdjs. I also want to stream myself producing tracks as well. I did that in the past couple months and it was a successful venture.  starting on a new track this evening!  will update later!

  six twenty two pm     My goodness, so many changes since I last wrote. I think I was still in Marietta, OH prior to a temporary move to Vienna, WV before locating to my hometown of Logan, Ohio. What a time, let's recap shall we? Lollapalooza: So on like a Wednesday or a Thursday prior to Lolla weekend in Chiraq I went to Ft. Wayne, Indiana and purchased my dream dj setup with a sound system. Shout out to Sweetwater music, that place is CRAZY. A facility larger than the biggest Supercenter you can imagine-- think Cabelas but much larger.      Got the VIP treatment from my sales engineer, 12/10 would recommend for any professional in the sound world.       After that I realized I was like 3hrs from Chicago, hit up my fraternity brother from The Ohio State University, and he said come through because it was Lollapalooza weekend. You know ya boi sent it like a piece of mail. Skrillex played Saturday but we were there Sunday, which was stil...

 4:54 AM     As I sit here writing this blog entry, I can't help but feel excited about today. The money came through finally on my grandmother's estate, I'm dropping off the closing documents for the house sale in St. Paris, and the process with the estate is finishing up after a couple of snares. I woke up this morning, pre 4am. I smoked a cigarette, made breakfast, having coffee as I type this. I've got a nice playlist I've found that is actually a playlist that has honestly been pure vibes. NP: "Show Me How" by Men I Trust. I highly  recommend this artist's sound for any morning, seriously.     So, what's next for tracktailor? That's a good fucking question. I wish I had the answer, but I know I will find it in the processes and systems I'm setting in place now. I need to find an early morning to early afternoon gig, with weekends off. I want this job schedule because I would be able to bang out jobs for my business venture in the eveni...

 9:03 PM 07/20/24     Well, since I last posted, A LOT has happened in my life. It's time for a quick recap.  8:40 AM 07/21/24     UPDATE: I passed out so hard last night. Now, I will recap all the "changes" happening in my life.      We moved from one AirBNB to the next for about a week or less, then moved into our new house in Vienna, WV.       I didn't get any of the jobs I applied for. Which might be a good thing. I have been throwing together an idea for a business and with the inheritance check I received yesterday from my grandmother's  estate, this could become a definite reality. I still need to find something during the daytime hours and leave my weekends free to make this side hustle a full time job.      I've played a lot of disc golf, and have spent a lot of time outdoors. My hair is getting more blonde, my skin is becoming tanned, and people tell me I look healthy. I feel healthier but am ...

 10:29AM     Since I've lasted posted, things have been moving. As I type this, I'm sipping coffee at a diner in Marietta, waiting on a steak breakfast that I just ordered. The last time I posted it was before the Holiday that just passed. The holiday treated me well, I saw friends and played a ton of disc golf. Yesterday I played 49 holes.      Still searching for a job. I am at a loss for words on what to do in terms of the job agency and the job they offered me. It's been about a month and they still haven't made a decision, or found a job for me. It's hard to stay in my "mode" of feeling good and working towards my goals, when no one else believes in you, your work  ethic, and what you can do for them.      My mother's birthday is tomorrow. I will admit, there were times in my mental health spat, this day would pass and I would remember weeks later that her birthday was already on a past date. I'm happy I'm finally, FINALLY, feeling ...

 12:58PM     It's Monday early afternoon, and I'm still left questioning if I get a job offer today. This whole process of finding a job down here has been troublesome. I guess it hasn't been as bad as I'm portraying it, but I'm starting to feel a bit worthless as I've not heard back from anyone yet. I just called the staffing company that has found these leads on jobs and is also the same company I interviewed for internally. I'm waiting on a call back for some answers.      Had a call this AM with the investment firm that deals with my family's funds, it will be so good to get something going again with a plan for the future.      We move out of the airbnb we're in now, and head to another one for two weeks starting the Fourth of July this week. Should be in a new house mom's buying by the end of the month. My grandma's house and estate should close by mid month as well.       I'm now less than two weeks out from my show...
