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 much the things people talk about that are great for the soul, yet I had not yet practiced; have impacted my life as of late. Drinking more water, less sugar, drinking no calories, walking more, meditation, healthy social relationships, sitting with things when they arise be it good or bad, all of these things have been brought into my life through one way or another, and I am thankful. 

    Genuinely content, eternally grateful, gracious of growth, staying hungry.



1:33AM

    I've gone too deep, too far- I drank another cup of coffee. 😈

    Seriously though, I knew I wasn't sleeping tonight. Burning the midnight oil for the first time in a while. I am feeling great about it, as tomorrow (today?) is wide open on the schedule. The whole today/tomorrow thing is funny to me. I laughed at folks who were on "tomorrow" when I'd be up all night and seeing them jogging, still on my "yesterday." The whole scenario still makes me laugh but realistically that 4am -5am club is what I'm trying to build to. 

    On another note, salami is an underrated deli meat. Just a slice, it's nice- salami. That's my ad/jingle I'm working on diligently for "Big" salami. Sounds a little like a mafioso name. Could be, I don't ask questions, especially about spiced meats. Slapped a slice on the old "after a swim" special with ham, mustard, and wavy chips, definitely an undervalued delicatessen staple and should be spoken of much more highly. 

Continuing on the path of righteousness with these serum vids

Blessed be the wave lords

2:07AM

    Decided after the fifth video I watched (pats self on back) this evening, I'm going to read and hopefully pass out. I'm sure I could stay up all night, but alas, I feel like this routine I'm in is too good to break my discipline completely.

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&

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

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
