I know this is old, and I know it's not Saturday.

But I don't give a damn.












Just realized, I have the time to talk about what I've been up to, so why not? Although I've been delivering some stand up music, I'm sure that I'm not the only person who has a decent taste in music, and wanted to blog about it. So, what else can I share?


The job search: It's really rough right now. I've been out in LA for a week, and not much has happened yet. With only a week left, I'd be surprised out of my mind if I got a job offer, let alone an interview. With the state of the recession, music industry, and blah blah everything else, it's like the doors are closed in this town, unless you really have time to dedicate. Two weeks, I now realize, is nowhere enough time to find a job in such a competitive market right now.


Does this dishearten me?



Nope.


While I admit, life is uncertain for me right now, that doesn't mean that I'm unhappy. This trip to Los Angeles has opened my eyes a whole lot about what kind of life I want to live. After an unusually clairvoyant Friday night, I know now for sure that it's not about what city you live in, it's about the relationships you make with people. Those relationships are what you should pursue in life to be happy. Not geographical locations. All you need is love baby, it's the damn truth.



And yes, there is a lot of music and entertainment business being done out here. If I can't get my foot in the door, then it doesn't matter unfortunately. And two weeks was a impractical amount of time for me to believe work could be found. And there lies the conundrum.



To find work here, I need excess of time. To gain that resource, I'd have to move here. To move here, I'd need to find a job here FIRST so I can live here. But I can't find the job, because I can't move here to look for one, without already having one. WHATTTTTTTTTTT That is a catch 22 my friend.










It's a Sunday. We will see what one more week in Los Angeles holds. But I am honestly not at all disappointed to return to Nashville when it's all said and done. I CAN stay in Nashville, which means I have all the time I need to find work in the music business there.




JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE! I just need a damn foot in the door is all!


Rant over?




yep.
