| so I've decided I'm going to berklee school of music.
It's going to cost me so much money, but I'm not to concerned for some reason. I got a lot of encouragement from people I respect. so I think that helped quite a lot.
now, I have to practice my ass off for a year to get to the top of my game for my audition and hopefully get some scholarship.
if it's supposed to happen, it will.
I'm not going to be 40 wondering what would have happened if I would have followed what I wanted to do, I'm just going to do it. I was given a lot of talent for a reason, I plan on using it.

| came to school today with no plans for anything really, and ended up tracking bass on a few songs.
great day. |

| All I want to do play bass and teach bass.
I played with my old band last night and it was seriously the best thing ever. we took a break to go to wallgreens and buy soda, then came back and played for a few more hours, and it was wonderful. Our old singer might even come back.
I feel like I was put on this earth to play music, and be involved in it, and regardless of what anyone says, i'm going to do it.
I was also put here to grow a beard, but that will come with time.

| long life.
I'm sitting at school right now working on a project and thinking about life. I really want to play bass for a living, but i'm not close to good enough to do that. But i really love engineering and feel like i'm doing pretty well with it. I can't decide! I want to go back to school after I graduate this May, but I can't decide where. I want to look at Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, Berklee in boston, and Belmont to name a few. But if I get out of the engineering world for a while getting a job will be a lot harder. But I want to study bass. this is how confused my head is at the moment. there's a lot more in there that's weighing me down as well, but it's just things about me being weird.
I've realized lately how much people in your past can really effect your future, and it sucks a lot. I feel like something that's great in my life could be screwed up by my past and I hate it.
PLAY CRACK THE SKY SUCKA. |

Things are really looking up for me, and I'm very excited.
this is a time in my life that I wasn't ever expecting to come for some reason, I'm living on my own, Kicking ass at school, playing music daily, finding jobs that I actually enjoy and look forward to, dating an awesome girl who makes me super happy. I mean, I guess I never figured i'd have this many good things happen to me at once. It's a huge blessing.
I was asked to move to chicago yesterday to do something I love doing, but i'm finding it hard to say yes.
I can't get over how good the new Manchester Orchestra c.d. is. 09 has been a good year for music.
keep it posi. |
