So much going on

These days I need days off. With Two Bands, working full time and trying to find new Business ventures is tiring. I took a breather yesterday and I'm in a much better frame of mind about it today. Today I'm learing about URL tagging. Complicated. Gonna get back to it.

Jazz

I Have been playing music for about 15 years now and have met a lot of great people threw music.  My mentor has for the last few years has been Screaming Jimmy.  Just a great musician.  I have been threw my past sort of limited on my knowledge about Music, and have come to really admire and respect musicians who can play theory intense Jazz.  So I have been asked to play bass in a Jazz band and am currently busting my ass bringing up my Jazz reading skills.  It is not an easy thing.  Jimmy is one of those guys that you can just put a piece of music in front of him and he will play it like he has been playing it for the last 20 years.  I'd love to be able to do that some day.  For now though its painful to listen.   One thing I've realized as I've made it to my twenties is that you can do just about anything you want to in life, it just takes time, and dedication.  I Believe in that.  What's cool is the more you accomplish the easier it becomes to get things done.  Theirs always gonna be good and bad days, but how we deal with the bad day is gonna determine how frequent they are.  So I'm gonna go learn some more Jazz.

Phone calling

I started today with calling leads. And at first I had a real hard time with it. I can see why so many people doing internet marketing don't want to call there applicants. I get real nervous, especially on those first few calls. But because so many people don't want to make phone calls there is big money in it. And just today I made enough money to make me want to get over my wories of talking on the phone. In fact after my first three closses I couldn't wait to get back on the phone. Well okay I wasn't that anctious, but it is really cool talking to people from all over the states and around the world, plus I make money doing it.

My 21s year.

Well it all started monday, My friend kim from san fransisco came down for a few days to visit her family and we hung out monday afternoon drinking JIN and juice. Whitch is a lovely drink. Then later on my brothers took me to the black sheep in san luis witch has the best ribs I've ever had. We wound up at frog and peach at around 11. There was a regge jam goin on and they all found out it was my birthday so around midnight they handed me a guitar and let me jam a few songs. It was fun. Everybody was dancing and getting into the music. On tuesday I drank while hosting a blues jam at the slo down pub. I've been playing there for a while but it was the first time they served me alchol. Then wed was new years eve and the Jim townsend bules band performed for a small wealthy croud. Probably the most boring crowd ever. But the band got tipsy and we made it fun. Thursday night I actually went to R And Ds by Myself and had a pritty cool talk with the bartender there, Jason, a really cool guy. Then friaday I went out with Anthony to Apple bees, we walked because we drank alot, and we talked and put our differences aside about a issue we had a week earlier. And now tonight I'm goin to los alomos and jaming with Mic. Scotch wiskey and water here I come.
