Questions

On another note...

As we spoke at the new gathering hole, tonight, several interesting things came up. I realized that Detroit is crawling back into itself. I believe that we have hit the boundary, so to speak, or are growing near it, of suburban sprawl. The once popular centers had become the not so special 'middle' towns. The ones closer to the city but still not far out into the cookie cutter suburbs. As the baby boomers grew old and wanted families and to be an average American, they moved away from the dangers of the breathing cauldron of Downtown Detroit. Their kids, aha. Im not talking about the 30 somethings, in my opinion, theyre already fucked. But I vainly suppose that my generation, is in the middle of the sway to this pull back into the city. The cities nearest to downtown, these 'middle' comers, are beginning to turn into the hotspots for the 20 somethings, and sadly, kids in high school that try so hard to act older than they are. Nonetheless, these areas are rich with new ideas, creativity, love, and a shared sense of doom for the future, at least the smart ones. Detroit is a place of decrepit beauty, that can only be experienced within the walls. You have to see the people, the buildings, you have to feel it. And that is something I've only ever got from one other city, and its not in America. Perhaps I have not spent enough time in the city to make such a declaration, but I am trying, and I am beginning to see the beauty of the ruin of it all, the writhing struggle to stay alive, and a glimpse into the rubble of the near future. Im optimistic, but sometimes its good to see harsh reality of the past, and the brutality of the future. Which is why I believe you always have to live now, and be now. Ok, thats about all. If anyone reads this, tell me what you think.

At last.

I have broken through unemployment, and finally have a job. Pro Audio Sales. Im pretty goddamned satisfied with that. Getting this job has made me happier and more positive than I have felt in the last 4 or 5 months. Day has broken, conquered, night came, and a lunar eclipse followed by one of the clearest brightest nights I can remember. The snow was light blue, the sky was dark blue, and the moon was shining magnificent so brightly I had to squint to see the dark parts, which was unimaginably cool. I liked the way the moon turned red while it was happening. I go to bed with the knowledge that I will wake up in a good mood, so goodnight.

Confounded Interweb Thing

Im more than dissatisfied that I cannot post my musical endeavors upon this wicket web-post.

2nd Biggest Interview of my Life

Tomorrow will mark the second time that I will have been interviewed at Guitar Center. I realize that to some this is no big deal, however to someone in the sound engineering industry who has recently just graduated from college and would like to do nothing but work with instruments, this comes as quite a huge deal. Im fairly confident that i'll take this one by the balls, but they seem to always bring up what little retail experience I have, yet I constantly find myself asking the question, well how the hell am I supposed to get any if you assholes wont give me a fucking chance? Oh well, perhaps tomorrow they will. This is mostly irrelevant but I wanted to try this out and see what I could do. Anyways, if you read this, have a good day, and wish me luck.
