So this is just a quick update for the people who follow me and anyone concerned with what I’ve been up to lately. First off I would like to say that I am a very blessed individual and I am very grateful that. So the first question probably is why I haven’t written anything in my blog in very long time. Well I don’t feel like there’s one particular reason timing just wasn’t the right. For one sometimes it’s best to just lay back and let people play themselves I believe there are just times throughout history when people are not communicating with each other effectively. If you’re paying attention you can see there are forces out there that seek to cause confusion and spread misinformation. I feel at those times in particular you can be shouting and still not get your point across. So don’t waste your breath. But patterns of ignorance and lies can’t last forever it’s unsustainable. You can compare the people of the world to a wave or tide in the ocean. Once it builds up momentum it’s nearly impossible to stop or control. But like a pendulum tides and trends tend to swing back in the other direction often with even greater fury. That’s not the only reason I’ve been missing. The main reason is like most people I’m busy. Unfortunately I’m at still at point in my life where I have to work a job. Now don’t get me wrong I’m very grateful to be able make a living and pay bills, but my experience with most jobs its comes with a lot of sacrifice and lots of ups and downs. For example at my last job of the past three years I was making decent money as a truck driver. Not great money just ok I was getting ahead a little bit and there were other perks and benefits. What I like about driving is the freedom the time you get to think and listen to youtube. Also you don’t have to deal with office politics and I do enjoy traveling to new places. So it wasn’t all bad I didn’t hate getting up going to go to work in the middle of the night. Usually around 2 am in the morning. Now begins that’s the bad part. I worked in the technology industry I live in Sacramento but the majority of the work is in either San Francisco or the Silicone Valley area. Including my commute to my truck driving to the bay area and back even thou I would get a hotel and spend the night a lot. Which was actually one of the perks I racked up about 400,000 hotel points for free nights so that’ll be cool when I redeem them. Anyways my was point was that my days this tended to be 15-16 hours long. Then let me tell you this if you’ve never had to do it driving a large commercial vehicle thru downtown San Francisco is one of the most nerve wrecking experiences you’ll ever have in life. If its rush hour or there’s an accident it literally becomes an absolute nightmare. You can literally be stuck in traffic for hours at time. There were days when I’m driving to San Francisco at 4 am after getting maybe 4 hours of sleep I can remember thinking I’m literally going to die.
I did have a plan if I didn’t die first I was going to work there long enough to save enough money to buy my own truck and start own business I was going to be a car hauler. I knew it was a good business from countless youtube videos and I would see all the car haulers on the road all the time. And cars are an interest of mine. At the time that job gave me a real taste of independence due the fact that I was a remote employee my boss lived in Texas and there was no office for me to report to daily. Unless we were out on a special assignment the most contact we had with our co-workers was a weekly skype meeting. So that was a huge hassle I didn’t have to deal with most days it was just me and the freeway. On the other hand working 16 hour days most days driving 8 – 10 hours takes a huge toll on your health. I tried to get my workouts in when and where I could like on the weekends and in the little hotel gyms but I wasn’t able to be nearly as consistent as I should have been. When you’re on the road a lot its difficult to maintain a proper diet and eat healthy. These are the things we sacrifice in our culture to make a living. I was probably drinking a little bit too much as well but I mean when your stuck in a hotel room in Fremont or Hayward there's really nothing else to do. In retrospect was it was worth it? I don’t know, I just think it was one of those things I had to go through as a person to help me grow and learn. One of the perks of working for this company is they gave you a lot of vacation. That’s mainly when I would try to work music making beats writing songs editing videos stuff like that. All the success I’ve experienced in the entertainment world has been with me only being able to focus on it maybe only 15% of the time. I know that I’m definitely not being fair to my art form and I’m not being fair those who follow me. By me not being able to focus my full attention on my music. Things absolutely have to change and they have changed…………………………..
