Freedom

capture pieces of my mind that once were.

over the course of a few years I have come to realize what it is I think I should do with my life.  There is no definite answer, as everything is changing constantly and evolving into things we would have never considered before.  For the past year I have had a goal of what I ultimately want to do.  It's been difficult figuring out how to go about achieving this dream, and it still is and will be a very big challenge.  Until recently I have finally figured out exactly how I am going to go about doing this.  Here is my plan.  I am writing this for myself.
-go back to school for a year (two max)
-study science (engineering to be specific)
-at the same time save up money for a move to L.A.
-also at the same time keep making cool stuff, music, visuals.
-move to L.A. as soon as all of this is taken care of.
-begin doing shitty volunteer jobs for the film industry.
-let one shitty job lead to another but do great at doing shitty jobs (the jobs no one else will take)
-move up to better, even if no pay jobs.
-get my first paid job at a really low position.
-make contacts.
-start making bucks.

All of this isn't even music related really, but I have a plan in my mind that only makes sense to me.  I have learned with music, that I do it for love and passion.  No money.  No bullshit.  Just me.  I'd like to be able to earn a good income in L.A. enough to free my worries and focus on music at the same time so I can toy around with live shows and such.  The engineering will help me with electronic music and synthesis.  Also, I might even want to make contacts in the sound department and maybe try out at scoring films.

Anyways, this post was to remind myself of these things so I can work toward them and be able to look back at this and think oh yeah! that's what I'm supposed to be doing.
