manic monday

 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 at the tavern. Sound system is secured for the event, I just need to pick it up the day of. Haven't pushed out a new melody since my last one I did the other day- which I've decided is ok. Going from barely to producing to trying to bang out one a a day is a lofty goal. I didn't want to loathe the process, so I slowed down a bit. 

Movement on a marketing gig in New Straitsville coming along, I need to meet with them and work out some logistics in terms of the plan. 

Played a lot of disc golf over the weekend. 13 in Athens, then 18 in Logan. Hit over 12k steps that day, it felt good. 

If y'all play your cards right I might start posting some poetry I've got in my notes app. I'll probably do it regardless so get ready for that.

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
