It's another day, another opportunity to tell em to suck your balls.

Whats up everybody its Alex coming to you live from my parents house in De Pere, Wisconsin.

Pretty soon, I'll be moving out of this place and into my new studio apartment in Green Bay.  Two more days.  I can't wait.

This fall, I will be starting a new journey.  A journey to enhance my skills along the way.  I will be learning audio engineering, video editing, script writing, Logic (audio production software), and a whole lot more.  This is the final piece of the puzzle I need to put in place before I can begin my career.  And I mean REALLY begin my career.  I have begun, but I have not offered anything of good enough value to get paid yet.  After I have mastered my craft, I will be able to work with artists from all over the world.  Ideally, though, I will be working out of my own studio in Los Angeles.

I miss LA.  One more year living here in Green Bay and I'll be back out there.  But first, I've got some business to take care of.  I'm not looking forward to the snow, though.  I hope it won't cause be to become depressed and miss class/work.  I hope my car will survive this year's harsh winter wrath.

I am very optimistic, however, and I know I am doing the right thing.  I'll have my own place with no distractions where I can get some serious work done.  I have a great feeling about what is to come in the very near future.  I get the keys to my apartment on Friday, the day I also get paid.  It's going to be a good feeling to be living on my own again and not having that feeling of living at home with my parents at age 24.  They're great people and all, but it just doesn't motivate me and I can never get any work done living here because I can't smoke or be loud.  I need the vibe to be perfect, no distractions.

Similar to my living situation in Los Angeles.  Every Saturday I would wake up at about ten thirty, walk to the dispensary, grab some kush, walk to Starbucks, grab a coffee, smoke a joint on the walk back to my apartment.  Soon as I got into my place I'd pop an edible, smoke another joint and get to work.  I'd work on music for hours.  And it was fucking awesome.  I'd take breaks and listen to comedy podcasts.  I didn't even need to wear clothes.  It was wonderful.  No distractions.  My own headspace where I could be creative.  It's all about being comfortable and free to express yourself.  Anytime you have a different vibe interrupting you, your creative efforts are hindered.

Don't get me wrong, some day I'll be able to co-habitate with others, but for now, I need to be left alone to work.  I've got a lot brewing in the ol' noggin.  It's not anyone's fault they're disrupting me.  I just need to do a better job of isolating myself.

In my last blog post I mentioned that I "don't get energy from being around others".  That is only half true.  It depends on who I'm with.  I recently had that statement disproven when I hung out with some fellow artists and went to the bars and had a great time.  I was energized and fully engaged the entire time in conversation.  I even ran into my ex girlfriend and it didn't feel awkward for me.  Maybe it did for her, but for me I was just rolling with it.  It was a public place and there was no reason I should have felt weird.  It's been two years since we dated and it's okay to be out and about at the same bar your ex is at.

I was staying lifting heavily and not drinking for a while (I think it was about two weeks) but it felt way longer.  I made some gains but this past week I drank a lot of mass away.  I realized (saw something on Reddit) the day you begin lifting is the day you become forever small.  I thought that was so true.  Whenever I get really into lifting weights and eating healthy and not drinking, always looking at myself in the mirror and flexing, weighing myself, etc, I always have the urge, (it's an addiction), to get a "pump".  Gotta get a pump, bro.  "My biceps are looking huge in this polo".

It is a good feeling to gain mass and look bigger, shirts fit tighter, more attention from the opposite sex, etc.  But how does one balance the lifestyle of bodybuilding and the lifestyle of fun.  How do I look good and not even have to think too much about it?  Get back to me.  alexbugatti@me.com

I am so close to ordering a mixer with two mic preamps.  I think I will order it on Friday.  Then I will be able to record some vocals that will actually sound good (compared to my current microphone that I bought in 2010).  It's about time.  I have the microphones, I just need to hook them up and record.  I ordered the wrong mixer online blah blah blah no one cares just get it up and running.

That's all for now.  Soon as I get moved into my new place I'll have some people over.

Peace

Praise be to the Muse
