Graduation and the real world

I graduated college finally after all these years. I am relieved of writing pointless research papers and non-sense exams, but the real tests begin with a job in the real world. I am excited to begin a career because of money (of course) and I love music and this is what I want to do. A lot of time is wasted in school learning about the field you want to go into and your left waiting until they call your name to receive your diploma. The degree is my ticket along with school debts. Graduating was a great experience and I couldn't have done it without God, Chandra or my family. When it is all said and done if you want to do something you have to work hard and keep trying until you finally reach what your working for. It wont matter what bumps in the road will occur because if you want it bad enough you will eventually get it. Now I must submit tons and tons of resumes to employers and hopefully get my foot in the door. I am looking forward to the experience and the more experience I have then the more I can move up in the business. I pray that when I run into the sharks of the music business that I will stand firm and not let them discourage me. I ask anyone who reads this blog to pray that I find a job very soon that will meet the financial needs of mine and Chandra's future as well as the future of our family. I want to put out great music and make good money to go along with it. I'm not greedy. I just know that money must not be loved or hated. It must be respected. A little side note. Congrats to Zack for getting into the police academy. I know you will do well and I cant wait to speed at my own will on the L.A. freeways(not that I can). I'm just kidding. Until next time, I love Chandra and God bless.

Pop/Rock/Country Ensemble & Senior Seminar

First off, I love Chandra. I'm performing for my ensemble tonight. Were doing country. Hopefully we don't sound like a rock band because none of us are well versed in country. I will have a couple solos so that will be fun and scary at the same time. I haven't performed in front of an audience since Dec. 2006 and that was in front of a thousand plus. Ill be fine. I've gotten 3000 words in on my senior seminar project. It is very interesting how each cell phone company does their music downloading service. The future is what interests me because in a couple years our phones will be a universal device meaning it will do everything. We have phones that are pretty much like that already but there is some things we haven't seen yet. The Blackberry and iphone are the closest to it especially the iphone. One day everyone will be able to download a song from your phone and it will be syncd to your house, car, stereo, you name it. The question for me is how will a music business major like myself figure out a way to make this happen for the average person. Technology is growing faster than we can keep up with. I predict in 10 years everyone will able to do what I talked about previously. Anyway I will update everyone on my progress sooner or later. I love Chandra and wish me luck. Later.
