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,

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 ...

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!

caffeine & serum

 12:24AM     Well, I drank coffee after dinner and now I know I may not sleep this evening. All is not lost, I'm studying wavetables trying to understand how tf serum actually works. I'm 3/20 in the mastering series I found on YouTube. In the first three videos I cannot believe how much I've learned. It's hard for me to watch anything (I don't watch film or television) so finally being able to sit through lessons on topics I'm interested in is refreshing. So far each video is about 20 minutes long and he goes through the VST one component at a time, and then reiterates what he just lectured on at the end of the video to reinforce.     I have been trying to meditate more often (shooting for daily) and this evening was a good session.  Breath work and body scanning have been the topics thus far, and they have helped more than I thought was going to be possible through guided meditation on an iPhone app.       It's astounding to me how muc...
