So I started a beat yesterday and it’s turning out real nice! I like how it’s developing a lot and I’m looking forward to mastering it and making it sound the best it can. I used stems to pull the instruments and bass away from the drums and vocals, and it turned out really well on standalone MPC. The standalone MPC has a weaker stems algorithm than the Desktop MPC 3.0 software does, but it came through this time, so I’m happy with it.
I want to write some rhymes to go along with this beat, and I have to push myself to get it done. I feel good this Sunday AM, so I think I can do it today. I’m going to vape some herb, take a CBD gummy, and put pen to pad. I always have good ideas in my head for some cool rhymes, but I am not in a position to write them down at times. Hopefully today I can tap into the Akashic records and I can pull down some dope ideas. I’m wearing my pyramid on my head this early AM so I can prepare my brain to work at it’s optimal ability.
Tomorrow I have to go back to work and I just really wish I didn’t have to spend my best hours in the day working for a corporation. I know I don’t HAVE to do it, but the alternative is really no choice at all. You have to get up and go to work to make money to pay your bills. It’s a part of life in this society, and if you don’t get with it you’ll be left behind. Sure, you can become an entrepreneur, but everybody doesn’t have the startup capital to do something like that. Many entrepreneurs started their business from capital they earned at a well paying 9 to 5 job. They didn’t spend a lot and were able to save money. They lived frugally and eventually they had enough money saved to fund a business venture.
I love music, and I sometimes wonder why GOD didn’t allow me to get involved with it at an earlier age. Who knows what would have happened, but perhaps it would have been very bad for my life. I trust that GOD has my best interest at heart, and that me discovering DJing and beat-making in 2015 and 2018 was probably for the best. The music industry is a grimy place and there’s a lot of wolves, snakes, and spiders in that space. I would like for my music, right now, to gain a bit of traction and garner me some followers, but I need to advertise more, stream, and stuff like that to get people onboard.
I just got approved for another year contract at my IT job. That’s cool to know I’ll have a job in this climate for now, but I would really like to be able to work from home. I was much happier when I was doing that and it was nice to be able to work on my MPC on my lunch break in a comfortable setting, or go to the grocery store and grab some food for lunch while it’s not that busy/crazy in there. I keep applying for work from home jobs, but none of those have come to fruition. If I could get that type of job, we could look to move to a much cheaper area and I could stay home with my wife and we’d be fine. Hopefully, GOD will see my want in this and make it happen.
Take care of yourself reader, enjoy your Monday, and don’t let life stress you out. Til next time!
