It's been a little while since I have been able to write a post, which has been torturous considering the amount of things that have happened to me in the last week. You wouldn't believe all of it if I told you....which I'm about to do anyways.

Let me first color in my surroundings. I am on the corner of a busy intersection, sitting under a middle-eastern/buddhist themed canopy patio. It's connected to a small cafe, which has all the essential trendy/hip/bullshit pro-health drinks and overpriced under portioned snacks you could desire. Me - I'm content drinking my black chai tea.

So besides a change of scenery, I'm writing this out in the open for another reason. Exactly a week ago, I moved into a new place. I now have one more roommate than before, and I also now have much more space, personally and generally. We don't have internet so....I'm forced to steal any random cafe's net that i can get my hands on. It's been torture to say the least!
Back to moving though. It's been really great deciding where furniture goes and making it "home". It's been not so great moving heavy furniture for two days straight and trying to set up the other 143 things you have to do when moving to a new place.  I now officially live with my best friend and his girlfriend. Hmm. That's strange to type out.

Between settling in, I've been doing a number of things. One of them being diligently looking for more employement. I've had a little luck finally too. Today was my first interview for a position in I don't know how long. And I feel it went really well too. I also have one or two other places of business interested in me. So if all goes well I should be starting something new next week. And thats a good thing, because the wire is getting thinner by the minute. Or rather the bank account is slowly thinning into...thin air.

I was cast as an extra in a film too, which happened very randomly as most things do since I've lived here. It was an all night shoot which took place Tuesday night. It was a lot of fun, and the movie actually seems somewhat interesting and has potential. I met many interesting people, and hooked up with a recording arts producer who expressed interest in me doing some studio sessions for him. We also knew each other through Kevin Bacon effect of musicians we've played with. Sweet. I may be put back into more scenes for the film later on also, which would be great. Always love getting unexpected random work!

My mind has exploded in the last week with new music to write. Almost every day I've been working on small little new compositions.
I know I haven't written much about my involvement with music yet, and I feel I may be jumping around without giving enough information sometimes. I have been playing music for about 9 years, and I used to perform, tour, and record very often. I went to college for music and hated it, and did not finish. I now am trying to resurrect my music far far away from home. the end.
Now that I have that out of the way, I am excited about the new material I've been attempting to write. I want to really branch out and try and not contain my music by genre. It's a hard thing to do when your used to playing in bands with a specific style, or you aren't the head force of the song writing. I feel if i take charge and slowly pick up people that I feel have the right style pertaining to me, it will go very well. And hopefully will create something truly original. Well thats the plan anyways....

In this one week I've also managed to forge a new relationship and also a new problem for myself (not suprising of course!). I've been hanging out with my other new roomate, the friends girl. "Oh no...I know were he's going with this" is probably what your thinking. And I am to an extent. I've found that me and her get along extremely well, and had way more to talk about than I thought we would. And she's starting to intrigue me. We have already gotten almost a little too comftorable when it is just us two. The worst part is I definitely didn't plan this or see it coming at all. I just repeat to myself how it would cause a whole new world of problems I don't want if I give into my emotions and carnal feelings. 

But. She has such a unique imagination. She's actually really interested in the things I do, in learning how to play music too. She thinks on a level I understand and relate with (which is rare). She is incredibly sweet, and overwhelmingly attractive on top of that.
So why I ask does the girl I live with that dates my friend have to be so perfect for me. Why does this happen to me!

Meet my conscience. His name is Morals. I want to tell Morals to screw off, but he gets the best of me.


So there's my week for the most part in a nutshell. I'm sure more stange shit will happen to me before the week comes to an end, As I still have the VH1 Rock Honors "The Who" to attend to, and more adventures of the new living arrangements.

I will continue sitting on this fake Indian pillow booth sipping my black tea that has way too long of a description on the menu to match the wholesale company in Minnesota it was probably bought from, and stare out at the overpass and the mountains in my distance. Wondering what you soulcasters are up to, somewere out there. I hope you are all well and healthy. And please feel free to share any interesting stories about your week with me, I'd like to hear a story.
