I have such an exciting life, I swear
Not really too much to say but hey, I felt like updating. So yeah.
Um...I got my buddy Luther's demo this past weekend. Back when we were at Full Sail in Florida he started writing songs...I helped on a few...and recording bits and pieces. By the time we graduated in October he'd partially completed a song. It sounded okay, but not like anything you might hear on the radio. The songs he sent me now are sooo much better! They're not professionally mastered or anything (and I can sooo tell) but he did an awesome job on them otherwise. He apparently has a meeting with the head of Hidden Beach Records (home of Jill Scott) this week so yeah. Good things could definitely come out of this. Especially considering I'm gonna be on his team once he gets signed. I can so use the break! If that doesn't pan out though, I'm considering submitting it to WEG for him. Because yes, I think he could seriously make the big time.
Random thought: I so need to get ProTools for my laptop, a microphone and a real good keyboard so I can actually record some of my own stuff. Yesh.
I'm trying to tweak the lyrics to the song I'm writing for my mama and daddy so it is as eloquent as I want it to be. I'm finding it hard though. Maybe I'm just too picky? I dunno. It just needs to be powerful and moving and stuff. They had such an impact on my life...a positive impact...I wouldn't be as strong as I am now if it weren't for them. It's because of them that I'm reaching for my dreams instead of living a "normal" life. If it were up to the rest of my family, I'd go back to being a CNA or something. Ew. No. I want more than that. And they were always behind me. So yeah.
Enough of that...it's making me sad. No sadness. Uh...I think I'm gonna see if my niece wants to go out and practice softball tonight or tomorrow night. I can't remember what day their hair appointments are so I gotta find that out before we make plans. But I know she's not going to want to be real rusty when the team gets together for the first time. All her little friends want to be on the team with her. She convinced me to coach so this should be real fun. A bunch of teenage girls and boys to deal with. Fuuun. But hey, it should make my life a little more interesting.
Speaking of softball, I've gotta find out when practices start for the team I'm playing on. I wonder if they're gonna make me pitch this year? I know I was part-time pitcher and part-time 3rd baseperson. Either way I go I'm gonna end up being a target, though. That's always how it works. I almost lose my head at least three times a season. I swear the one year they were out to break my left hand, too. Every time I turn around some guy's hitting a line drive at me. I'm an evil girl though...I can catch no matter how hard they hit it at me. Mah daddy taught me well. Heh.
Huh...I spose I gotta go try to be productive today. I'm just not feeling it. I think I got too much sleep last night. Hahaha. Maybe I'll take the day off and try again tomorrow.
