Welcome Simone! Great to have you, and Meh, I feel just like you these past few months i've felt in a slump but i'm finally getting out. I wouldn't say I got jaded with songwriting that will never happen, but being out of work the constant searching, downtime looking, simply brought down my zeal for the music momentarily. Thank the Lord i've got a great (but tiring job) families good, and my head is back in the game.
Yesterday I worked 7am-5pm came home went back to work at 9:30pm and pulled OT till 1am, fell asleep at 3AM and was back up at 530am this moring i'm comping alot of my time for a trip to Nashivlle when I get off my six month probation period, (we aren't allowed to taked vacation till after we get off "probation" and they suggest a year, but I'm friends with the powers that be so I wanna plan a trip asap.
As I sit here I'm leaving in ten minutes to go to a show and support two Texas artists Kenna Dannielle whom I'm writing a song she's holding called E-Cigarette, and going to meet and enjoy some music from a guy named Josh Fuller who's a bit more "up there" in TX name recognition. Katies an angel for watching the kids tonight cause she knows I've been off for a while so I am getting back in the game.
I'm jaded to twitter and facebook like you and MAB are, but I still use it... I've NEVER had a personal page I have always been against that, but i still maintain a music page with various updates, and use it as a sounding board to show support to other artists, always a fan first like mab teaches. Support them, they'll mayyybe scratch your back one day. Twitter... ehhhhh I do use it to retweet other artists shows etc. but like MAB said i NEVER use it to vent, whine, or anything, people these days don't think before they post and it often gets them into to trouble cause they spout off stupid stuff. I try not to be that guy, I have a ten minute rule for twitter, if ten min. pass and it's still worth saying, i'll post it if not, it's just more to keep my name out there locally and support others.
Well the shows at 7pm tonight so the kids gottta run. Great to see you Meh, and everyone hope all is well, the kids lurking and working!!!! God bless
