Just another day in Compton

What's up everybody, welcome to my blog.

This is my first post so it won't be too long, just wanted to get the ball rolling.  I've been writing for myself for quite some time now (years) and thought maybe I should share some of my thoughts with the public.

I've been sober now for about a month.  I relapsed once but that was because my little brother was having a graduation party and I had some beers.  I'm trying to quit drinking to excess.  Sure, I'll have a beer here and there, but I don't think getting intoxicated off of GMO corn liquids is conducive to my best health.  I want to accomplish great things in my life and if I continue to get beligerent I won't care enough to pursue anything that will take a lot of effort and energy.  I'll just work some shitty job and fuel my addiction, living paycheck to paycheck.

Waking up in the morning thinking: "I wish I had the energy to create something today".
Instead, I'd probably just roll over and fall back asleep for another three hours.

My life in a hungover state is miserable.  I hate it so much.

Today I signed up for classes at NWTC.  I'm going to be starting the Digital Media Technology program in the fall.  

What do I wish to accomplish after attaining the skills offered in this program?

The plan is twofold:

a).  Move to a bigger city and get a job either editing videos or images, producing a podcast and/or TV show/movie, etc.  Basically anything that needs sound or video editing.  Where do I plan on moving?  Either Los Angeles or Denver.  I'm open to other locations but these two cities appeal to me the most.

b).  Eventually start my own podcast and open up my own recording studio.  I also want to make short films and do stand-up comedy if I ever get the balls to get on stage.  I have written a lot of comedic bits but have yet to piece them together into a set and try them out on stage.

I will be living in Green Bay for until I finish this program, which should take about a year.  My roomates are probably going to be two good buddies from high school.  I've known these guys for years and I think we will get along great living together.

I have been single now for about two years ever since me and my ex girlfriend broke up.  I have only really had one serious relationship in my life and I'm not looking to start another anytime soon.  Right now I'm just focusing on getting my career started and staying creative, sober and productive.  Doesn't mean I'm not open to dating and meeting girls, but I will let them know right away that I'm not looking for anything serious.

This first blog is basically me filling everyone in on my life as it currently is.  In further blogs, I will get into deeper, more philosophical and esoteric ideas and concepts, but for now I'm keeping it light.  I hope I have painted a good enough picture for people to see the type of person I am and where I currently stand in life.

I'm 24 years old, I'm an artist living in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Hope everyone is having a great day.

Until next time.

Praise be to the Muse.
