Day 8/9 We all knew it would happen, one day missed.

Morning Party People!
            Ok I missed a day, there are now exuces to be made, one a refocusing on my original plan. To keep writing the moment I wake up, or in this case right before I pass out from exhaustion . I't 4:30 am and I've been driving all night. I had fun and I made a decent amount of cash, so nothing new to report there.
            While  was driving around a questrion came to me.Why do we hate the poor so much that we will take their food from them if the get high?
             Granted the thought of moeny going out to someone who is just getting high all day doesn't exactly envoke sympathy in me but I think this idea goes deeper than that.
             First off lets deal with the fact that weed is still considered a class 1 narcotic, meaning it has NO medicinal value whatsoever. We all know this is bullshit. Here in AZ we have medicinal marijuana to help treat people with chronic pain as soon as they cough up a shitload of cash. What you think it's free to be in pain?
            Lets assume that the prohibition on weed goes away, that seems to be the trend of thing from where I stand. So how would that effect the poor people and their food stamps? Are we still going to stick it to them if they smoke up? What about alcohol? What about psych-meds?
            Or how about we focus on why a fellow human who grows up in the same country, the same town, goes to the same school, feels its pointless to do anything?
           Granted I could go on and on about being born into poverty and the struggle of the 99% and all but that's not the basis of this question. The question is, why couldn't they do the same thing I did?

I've descovered that my fatigue says that this topic will be discussed at a further date.

Till next time

Day 7 waking up late

Morning Party People,
            I imagine that these blogs are becoming less and less interesting to read, sorry about that. Unfortunately for all of us I'm not writing these for entertainment but more so to build a writing regiment. The more I don't want to write, the more I force myself to. There are some that say that creativity shouldn't be forced, much like exercise. Up until recently I would be inclined to agree, so would my fat ass.
            So here I am, plugging away, trying to get the thoughts in my head on this screen, So what should I talk about? How about music?
            I've bought two albums in the past week so far. Branches by Radical Face and Girl Talk by Kate Nash. The branches I loved instantly as it's more of the same from radical face yet far deeper, they do such a great job of painting a rich picture to explore via sound, I highly recommend it, espescially if you like to get high.
            Girl Talk is definatly growing on me! Kate Nash has gone in a new direction from sweet angst ridden gal to a sweet agnst/angry/fierce gal. Meaning she has dealved into some punk roots that meshes well with her melodies. I'm glad I gave this album a chance as at first listen I wasn't too thrilled with it, I guess I thought Kate had left what made her so great behind. She hadn't, she just grew into a richer artist and it shows in her music....and no I'm not just saying that because I want her on my podcast =P
           I love this world so much and most of the people in t, I truly do, perhaps I should say that more....

Day 6

Morning Party People,
              Like usual I'm not sure what to write here. I know my back is killing me right now, I have zero desire to start driving now so perhaps I'll go out later and work through most of the night, that could be fun. There I go again, thinking about money again. I don't  want to write about income, because I think it's tedious.
              I went to the open mic but didn't wait around to go up, it had been about two hours or so. I'm not hating, it happens. I just wished I had the time to wait, it feels crappy to leave the club without going up. I did get a chance to chat with some of the more veteran comics, and one of them might want to do the podcast, so if anything the evening wasn't a complete loss.
              So here I am, at this keyboard, wondering what to put on this page. at the moment I'm listening to an album of an artist I'm trying to get on the podcast, the thing is I'm not liking their new album too much. It's not bad, it's just in a new direction. I'm thinking if by some chance this person would do the podcast would I have to lie and say I titaly dug the new tunes? I wouldn't try to be a dick, you ever see a friend of your start hanging out with some new people and suddenly you can see how their heart and soul are being poisoned by theur new friends. Much like heroine I guess. That's what this new album sounds like to me. This is only the first listen thoug, I can tell I will like it more and more as I learn to appreciate it. After all it took me awhile to enjoy Girl in a Coma's last album.
              Come to think of it, there was never a Beastie Boys or a Blind Melon album I ever liked on the first listen, so that should tell you something about my taste in music =P

Till next time Party People

Day 5........Five Alive sucked! It was OJ for poor kids growing up

Morning Party People!
           Stream of conciousnous writing hitting the keys soon after I wake up. As soon as I get up anyways, I wouldn't call myself awake just yet.
           Unike yesterday money was not the first thing that entered my mind when I woke. Today I was thinking about my set for later tonight, I think that's a better place to focus my attention.Progress!
           When I checked the stats on my Podcast I saw that I was at 27 listens for the week which is awesome because it used to take me a whole week to get to thirty listens. Progress!
           I downloaded Radical Face's new album which was amazing, much better than the last album which in itself was pretty amazing. Progress!
          Coffee+MCT oil+grass fed butter+a blender=one kick ass cup of coffee!....not so much progress as a tasty morning beverage I thought I'd share.
          Yesterday I was on a voucher run and the lady asked if we could stop on the way for some smokes. Normally I don't but she seemed like a person worth bending the rules for. She has brain cancer, she said it doesn't look good and she doesn't know how long she has, it's odd that I made her day a little better by helping her get something that would make her feel worse. Ironic? Unfair, or is it just very lifelike?
          I wonder who I'll meet today, I wonder who I'll meet tonight at the pen mic? All I know is that doing these little blogs is starting to make a difefrence on how I see my day...progress!

Till next time Party People,

This week Justin Dam and I have a great conversation, then Sam Fleager joins us!


Day 4 Results!

Morning Party People!
         I almost left the house before writing this blog. Money is always on my mind the moment I wake up, I'm not liking it either. There is a bunch of things I'd rather be in my head when I wake up, my sweetie, my art, hell I'd prefer being excited about hanging out with some of my friends. Instead I think about how much money I hope to make today.I can see writing these thoughts out that my priorities are mixed up.
         I'm a big fan of Joe Rogan's podcast, I find myself agreeing with a lot of the ideas he talks about but every now and ten he says something that rubs me the wrong way. It was something to the effect of - if you're pissed about the money you make it's because you don't want to see that it's probably all the money you deserve. Is that true? Am I destined to be poor my whole life? Is anything ever going to get better. Am I stuck in a shitty year in high school that's never going to end?
        I was bummed out when that idea came into my head, I had to fight the idea, to keep it from coming a fact that I felt about myself. I think that idea was already in my head, it was just hiding. So was this all I deserved? Well what actions do I take to warren the income I bring in? Am I working as hard or as smart as people who make more than me? No, no I'm not.
        Ok so at least I have some truth now, what's the next step? Make a plan, take some action. I'm pleased to say that that ball is already rolling.
        I started this blog, or this dailly blog so I could get in the habit of writing on a daily basis, last night after Jennie went to bed I stayed up for a bit so I could write. I finnaly got a bit that I'd been half assing for a year now on paper and I think I've got a direction for it to go, I can't wait to try it out tonight at the open mic!
        I think the more I work like this the more I will deserve (at least to myself). Only time will tell!

Till next time Party People,

Day 3 Work

Morning Party People!
       Yesterday I made no money. GASP!
        That's right I didn't drive yesterday, this might bite me in the ass later in the week but for now I feel ok about it. I spent the day recording three episodes of the podcast. The first interview went a lot better than I expected it to. The second worked out like I thought it would and the third went deeper than I though t would.
        I'm not sure what to write next as I've yet to have any coffee this morning. I hate it when my brain gets stuck in 2nd gear >< Coffee should be done in a few minutes , wath once I start drinking it nothing on this page will change. POOF like magic, shit stays the same!
        So what's next for this week? Why the hell am I thinking that far off >< What's on the list for today? Today I'm hitting the road while running bits through my head occasionally writing them down. Perhaps my goal will be to write more ideas down so when I get home I can spend more time here working out the premises if you will!
        Not sure if this idea of writing as soon as I wake up is a good one....
        At least there's coffee, and at least I showed up to the keyboard, for now that's good enough, tomorrow I might expect more from me, for today I'm happy I'm here.
        Now how do I translate this effort into an exercise I can do?
