Today I did a very big thing that isn't on my list. I did some drum recording for my band. We're gonna make a short album. About 25 minutes. We had SO many freaking problems too man! The first one simply being that there was NO place to park and thus, didn't get into the studio until like 20 minutes late. Had just that one thing not happened we could have finished everything we had planned, but unfortunately the 5th and final song only got half done. So now we have to borrow ALL those freaking mics again just record that one song. Oh well. That's how it goes. But he did a great job playing those beats so I'm can't really say that I'm not stoked. ^_^_^

I've found the easiest way to stop doing something, whether it's visiting a website, playing a game, or something else is to shut yourself off from those things cold turkey.

Just saying, cause it seems you need to "stop" a lot of stuff, and most people I have observed are more successful at it when they just stop rather than trying to ease off of something, if they try to go the weening route so the speak, they're way more likely to never actually stop.

Hmmm, good point, especially concerning PPR. Other things on my list are less of a "get rid of" and more of "put em in their place" kinda deal, which carries much more relativity and a greater possibility of indecisiveness...

Thanks bro/sis (idk lulz)

I feel your pain about the fafsa. I had to fill it out like 5 times too. But I find that the dread of thinking about doing it is greater than that of actually doing it. In fact, a lot of things are like that. Don't feel bad about 6 months man. Some people feel like their lives haven't gone anywhere for years yo. If you want it, then there's not better reason to get a new sig, but I personally love the current one. (AC fan)

If there's some kind of community center or a place that has something in the way of different kinds of clubs, you could probably make a whole new group of friends yo. There's a community center in my town and there are all kinds groups there. Drama, Foreign language, music, all kinds. WAIT A MINUTE! You're a college student! Is there not a plethora of clubs to choose from at your school? I went to itsy bitsy teenie weenie University of Hawaii at Hilo, and they had quite a few.

As for myself. UWAAA! I took like several steps backwards yesterday. My recording yesterday is not quite the quality I hoped for so I wanna redo it. I also recorded some vocals for like 3 different songs and I've realized that my rap voice is just not that cool. I love my lyrics though &_&. But I probably have to redo those too. ARRRGH! We'll see what the boss of thatsong thinks.

Actually, it's a weird story... I was gonna end up enrolling last fall, but couldn't pay for it cuz some scholarships didn't work... So I've been working these last few semesters. I'm pretty sure I'll be going to USF this fall, so maybe things'll open up there.

Story of my recording life. Nothing ever fits my expectations, so nothing gets done :puppyeyes:

And now for my motivational efforts for you all.

SWEET! I was able to remove "-Write a rap verse for the Steel Giant remix." from my list today. I'm uploading it now and then I just have to link the dude and I'm set! I mentioned that my first recording sucked but this new one should be just fine. I'm satisfied, at least. Maybe I should eat some ramen to celebrate.

Yeah, I've got the account there, and advertise and such, but it doesn't really go far. XD I've only gotten one person there to commission from me. Granted they give me most of my 'business', but otherwise commissions/prints/etc. there is a flop. :s

DA is a hard place to really get noticed, considering the numbers there.

A new one for my 'list'.

START SLEEPING AGAIN.
