It’s been a minute since I updated this blog, but I’m posting now. I was recently diagnosed with a pretty serious health condition, as well as having some deaths in the family that hit us pretty hard. I’m doing ok health wise now, but I have to keep pressing and trying to get better and take good care of myself. Music has been a huge help in me dealing with things lately. As it has been said, “Music is medicine”. It’s medicine for the soul I feel, and between Djing and making beats, I get a lot of fulfillment and relaxation from both practices. I recently picked up a Roland SP404 mk2 and I’ve fallen in love with it. It’s much more portable than my MPC One, albeit having less bells and whistles. I can still make a good beat on it though and I’ve picked up the workflow very quickly.
I kind of feel like I have an intelligence level where I can learn pretty much anything to a serviceable level. Some people really struggle with learning new things. I wouldn’t say they are stupid, they just don’t connect the dots as quickly as others and have to be walked step by step through every little thing. Because I have the type of intelligence that lets me learn quickly, I’m not going to be accepting the minimum wage for a particular job anymore. 10/10 I’m going to be one of the better performing employees, and I’ll pick up the companies workflow and system quickly and become very efficient at it. For that alone I deserve to be paid the maximum wage offered. It’s very hard as an employer to find competent people who know how to utilize common sense. On my next job interview, the mission will be to convey what I just said to the interviewer without coming off arrogant or pompous.
Me and my wife are looking to move to the east coast soon to be closer to her family. My stepdaughter and step grandson. Time will tell if that comes to fruition. I am tired of paying these ridiculous rents and gas prices here on the West Coast though. For what I pay for a SMALL one bedroom apartment I could afford a house somewhere else. I’ll try to update the page a bit more often and add some more reviews and beef up the spirituality section. I plan on talking about spirituality a lot more. We are all on the journey to being better versions of ourselves, and that includes me. Til next time…..
