So I’ve had my SP 404 mk2 for a while now, and its a great little device. I haven’t been brining it to work with me this summer, because its too hot in the car to leave it in there, and I don’t want to bring it into the office because I can’t keep an eye on it the entire time. Not saying that anyone at my job is a thief, but you never know. People “get got” like that all the time. I think I’ll bring it with me and lock it in my desk drawer since I have a key for it now.
I am considering selling it though, because AKAI released some plugins that make the use of the 404 mk2 with my MPC Key 61 obsolete. You can do stutters, brakes, lofi, and a bunch of other stuff with this plugin called Fly Tape II. Maybe I’ll take the 404 to work with me this week and see if I fall in love with it again. If I do, I’ll keep it. If I don’t, Guitar Center here we come to get ripped off on the price you’ll give for equipment, KEKW.
I have some debts to repay, so I could use the money towards that and feel better about things in that regard. I don’t like “owing”, so I gotta get that knocked out somehow. I was thinking about picking up a second job, but its hard to find a part time job on the weekends. I’ve tried applying at gas stations, 711s, and smoke shops before but I never hear back from them. I don’t know if its because I’m big and black, or if they feel I’m overqualified when I give them my resume, but it sucks. My wife tells me I can be very intimidating to people at times, but I’m a super mellow dude.
When I’m walking down the street and a white chick is coming the other way, she’s probably intimidated, but she don’t know I’m probably singing Hulk Hogan’s theme song “Real American” to myself as we walk by each other KEKW. That or thinking about getting home, vaping some herb and making music or playing Battlefield 6. Anyway I’m going to enjoy this Sunday off and get some good R & R in. Have a good start to your week and don’t sweat the small stuff. L8r!
