things are going really well right now...well, at least i can retain the mentality that they are; there are 'bad' things, such as failing my audio final, realizing that i didn't have enough in my bank account to buy the records i wanted, not having the right cables RIGHT NOW to record from my mixer, needing another pair of headphones or a permanent solution to my quasi-solved mixer monitor issue..these problems aren't really phasing me. they can all be solved or disregarded in time; i can wait. they just don't seem so bad anymore. i've been much more patient lately, and less indulgent.
uhh...maybe that's not so true; my vinyl intake is peaking. but yours would be too if you had a dope record hook-up!!
he constantly introduces me to cool new tunes (they're actually all very old, most of them are older than i am) which i'm very grateful for.
he's also very inspirational. today he asked me if i make music. i told him that i'm in midi class with rolando (one of the 2 boys that werk in his store,) and that i do. he told me that he'd thought that i should be if i weren't and called me unique...the complement that never fails.
i'm stoned...however, i've been abiding by my new rule which is: i will not bring marijuana into my home. if somebody else wants to bring it in, that's fine as long as they take it back out with them.
i think my life is going to be easier now that ben (my skool-crush) is, for the most part, out of my life. i started to panic earlier when i thought my teacher was going to play my midi project in the concert today at the last minute when she said i couldn't be in it. i was prepared not to be in it, i did not want to play that version of the track...that was the version i had tried to stretch out to 2 minutes in order to get a better grade (the requirement was 2-4, i had 1:47, but surprisingly as hell, she was real cool about it.) which consequently sacrificed the quality due to the last minute hussle (she actually gave me awhile to werk on it, but since you can't move every track in pro tools at once, it gets rather complicated when you try to stretch things out.) anyway, point being, i think ben made me panic a bit. i can't handle falling for my twins, it doesn't werk..but i continually do it. nice guys just get on my fucking nerves.
before i pass the fuck out, i need to mention my high points of the day...flavio, my dj homie from my midi class, told me that his party posse needs a hip hop dj. bling. later on, this evening, my cousin's friend offered me a spot at his part in detroit on feb. 28th. he said he'd drive me there and back (or someone would.) and i'd get paid $100 for a 30 min-1 hr set. that's a short ass set, but the payrate isn't shabby, by any means...i wish i made $100/hr at my stupid fucking job.
