(no subject)
Well, I just got done after recording a mix at Zaks, and I'm quite ashamed to say the least. I guess I shouldnt have expected good results from my second time on decks after almost a two year haitus from the whole mixing bit. I basically picked like 14 random tracks, and put em in an order I thought would be good, but I
(a) didn't know the music very well, a lot of the tunes I played were the first time I'd really put them in a mix, and it really, really showed.
(b) was nervous as hell for some unknown reason, which really blows my mind. I can play for over a thousand people, yet I get nervous in someone's bedroom playing for like 4 people. WTF.
(c) sucked the big one
It was funny, after I got done recording, I was just messin around and I was back to mixing perfectly. Wierd.
O well, I'll cringe/listen to what I layed down with my chest out, and learn.
My parents are going away for the weekend, so anyone in the Ft. Myers area who'd like to participate in throwing a rave party in my living room is invited.... Just kidding. I'm just gonna chill this weekend, and listen to music loud. That will be the extent of my partying (here anyway)
The Olive Garden is now giving me shit after telling me that I had the job. They were talking some garbage about my references today. I went in to talk to the GM, and he kept looking at my APP and talking about how much I've moved in the past 5 yrs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the fact that I've lived in a bunch of places have anything to do with my value as an employee??? He kept asking me stuff about why I lived this place and that, and I kept telling him that I lived here and there to pursue music. So then he asks multiple times what I plan on doing in the future. I wanted to say "keep going so maybe someday, I won't have to work for an asshole like you". They want people who will devote their lives to busting ass for other people, and I say FUCK THAT. I'll do my job well, and if I proceed beyond your tunnel visioned existence, I'll say "THANK GOD" Who wants to be a career server?? I sure as FUCK don't.
JENN, PLZ MOVE HOME SOON, I MISS YOU!!!! XOXO
