Open Mic Showdowns, Guitars (or lack thereof), really bad cover bands

Soooo,
Not a whooolleeee lot has changed since I last posted somethin but I figured I’d post a little anyway. Really all I’ve been doing lately is writing songs. Idk, the volume at which I’m writing now has been unheard of for me. Like the other day i wrote two songs simultaneously, bouncing back and forth between the two…it was pretty awesome. It’s just been such a blessing, all this creativity and time God has given me to write. Yea I don’t have a job yet, but it’s soort of been a good thing. I’ve been able to play in a few different places, and write some of the best songs i’ve written. I’m continuing to trust God with the job thing. All I do is submit apps, and call a few days later to make sure they got it..It’s about all I can do right now.

One of the songs I wrote on Wednesday is one I’m going to be using to compete in this open mic showdown happening on Tuesday. The song is called My Freedom…It talks about not letting people hold you back, or deter you from doing what you want…from taking a leap of faith and pursuing a dream. Anyway, I love it! Partially because it’s new, but mostly because I think it’s a good song. So yea if make it to the final round of competition on Tuesday, I’ll be doing another song called Show You Love. It’s essentially a hypothetical, but common, situation where people forget to show love to the ones they care about. Anyway..If I so happen to win this competition on Tuesday, then I get a FREE show! AND it’s free for everyone! So people are going to have to come down for it!!!:)…

So one thing that sucks about not having a job is money. I’m really bad at saving money. I try, but it’s haaarrrdddd maaaannnn!! Anyway, but I’m not making any money so it makes life even harder. I’m trying to finally buy my first guitar and acoustic amp so I can be able to play gigs at coffee shops and stuff…buuutttt! I don’t want to spend the money to get it because I might not have a job. Anyways, it makes life hard at these open mics too cause people complain that they cant hear my guitar because the mic isn’t really pickin it up..Yea, it’s frustrating…Anyway, I’m just praying for God to open doors for me, for God to provide me with a job, and for the discipline to NOT spend money when I’m not makin any…Oh and I’m praying for the money to get a guitar and amp eventually.

I went to a bar last night and heard a really bad cover band…that is all….

Deuces! be blessed!
