Well, here goes nothing.
This blog idea was suggested to me by my friend, and I've decided to dive in. I don't know if I will be any good at it, but why not?
Introductions first, I suppose. You can call me "V-Town" or the more condensed and therefore easier to say "V". I'm 22 years old and I just graduated college.
Now. It's time to grow up. And figure out what the hell I am doing with my life. My dreams: tour with a band, work at a record label, co-open a music venue. [PS: Thank God I'm only 22, because it's going to take awhile before any of these come true] I had high hopes of travelling with my friends' band, however, due to life and various other circumstances they "disbanded." This means there are going to be a lot more steps for me to get to any of those goals. Am I giving up? NO!
As for what I'm doing right now. I have two interviews tomorrow at hotels in Seattle. If I got hired at either of them, I would be working 40 hours a week, and it would probably take up a good portion of my life.
Pros: uh, hello, family and friend discount? 40 hours a week means money [which my life is seriously lacking]. Something to do. Money so I can move to Seattle by July.
Con(s): Little free time to pursue all my music interests [now this is only sort of a con, because right now I have very few prospects].
I hope I get a job. I hope that having one doesn't make me end up doing exactly what I never wanted to do, get stuck. Yes. I like Washington. Yes. I like having money. But. I don't want to end up 40 years old, never having travelled, not in the music industry, and stuck. PLEASE DEAR GOD, NO.
I am going, at least slightly, in the right direction. I am still an intern at a music venue in Seattle. And I am picking up more responsibilities there. I think this will open more doors for me. I also hope that doors continue to open. Settling and I, we aren't really friends. We've never really gotten along.
Oh! And I will be putting together a music video for a good friend of mine. Which has me all giddy excited. Hopefully the end product is something to be proud of.
Anyway, if you read this. Cool. If you skimmed through to the end. I don't blame you. I probably would have done the same thing.
Until next time,
V-Town
