blessings

9:15AM

    I woke up this morning at my usual time this morning (~7am) as the sun crept in through my blinded windows. As I went through my morning routine of bathroom, coffee, stretching, and breakfast, I hoped again this morning that I'd wake up miraculously with some funds in my bank account. Luckily, today was the day.

    Part of the reason I moved back home was to handle the estate for my late grandmother on my late father's side of the family. Amongst other reasons that I will specifically address I'm sure in a later blog, this was a huge factor in moving home. Not only the estate, but to be closer to my grandmother on my mother's side of the family. I think the death of my grandmother really "kick-started" my mother's ambition to be back home with her mother. Admittedly, it was the change in my life I needed.

    A bit of the money finally touched down in my bank account this AM, and I finally have relief on how this month's car payment will be made, the down payment on my sound rental for next month (I underbid the event by at least $150 smh), and general living expenses down here on the river. It's a strange bittersweet feeling, relief from some bills, yet the means are somber.

    I also have a second interview with a premium shed and tiny home manufacturer in a sales position down here. I've had a couple interviews at places around town down here, yet nothing has panned out. It has definetly affected my psyche a bit, as I have never had this kind of experience applying for any job. I continue to have faith, and know things will eventually be the best fit for me. 

    In the music realm, I'm preparing for a gig July 13th at the Home Tavern in Logan, which should be a great event. I received a call this morning and may have an impromptu set in New Straitsville tomorrow, which would be cool. The set in Logan is open format, and New Straitsville will definitely be country music. 

I also have started learning Serum for FL again, trying to really study wave tables and how they work. I will eventually try to cook a melody a day on the DAW, but for now I'm focusing on the job, and enriching other parts of my life. I still mix about everyday on my decks, but I want to focus more on the production side of my music artistry.

Until next time,

-david

monday, again.

 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 like I&

humble beginnings

10:02 PM     I've decided to finally start a blog,  specifically involving my life as an artist. On the surface, this is a daunting task to me. I'm hoping that this will be a great outlet, a way to measure and record progress, and an accountability constraint. It is my aim to become more  efficient and effective with my time within the realm of my music and content revolving around the sound.      For those who haven't been around, or I haven't caught up on my life- I moved back to Ohio on the 22nd of May, and it has so revitalizing to my soul.  In the PNW, I felt like I was constantly "wearing a mask" or changing myself like a chameleon to better suit the environment. When I came back to the Ohio valley, I immediately knew this place is what had been missing from my life. This is the  place where I didn't have to change who I was to fit in. This is the place where I standout for eximplary reasons. This is the place I call home.      The PNW was a dark pla

boredom

 6:00PM     Today was a successful day in a couple aspects, and the day is still yet to finish.  I had the second interview for a sales position and a premium tent and tiny home company in Marietta. The interview was solid. I killed it. I am confident that I will receive an offer Friday, or Monday at the latest. The interviewer was the head of sales with the company, and he seemed to receive everything I put out there very well. I'm glad I finally have some confidence with the job outlook out here. Shit is seriously depressing, well has been, for quite some time.       The DJ world is definitely not all glitz and glamour as it's sometimes portrayed as. It's empty rooms, bombing sets, forgetting equipment, the list could go on in all the "bad" parts of disc jockeying. I read today that you aren't a real DJ unless you've thought about giving up a couple times. That statement is mostly true, as it isn't an easy career path. The career path part is what ma
