Interests:Being a musician keeps like 90% of my interest but i also enjoy working with computers and playing c Occupation:Student\Composer\Arranger\Teac Industry:Entertainment
I am going to school
full-time now and thats going fairly well except for stupid things like
wind symphony and brass ensemble, which is now a shitty quintet, are
really annoying me and making me feel like im wasting my time. Time
that I can use to relax or sleep seeing as i havent really been doing
either as of late. I'm loving Music History and my English class though.
On the work side things things seem to get better for a day before they
get like 3 times worse. So when we make progress then we drop the ball
as far as tech's being stubborn and not knowing how to teach, or band
parents thinking they all have degrees in Music Education, or just
directors dropping the ball. I'm getting tired of stressing out about
this program. Its taking a big toll on my health lately. The thing is I
know i should back off and not care, but the last thing I want to see
is that program fall apart. I love the program and those kids too much
to let that happen. The kids want to be good so bad. I feel bad for
them everytime they go to vis rehearsal and only get like 3 sets done
(not even cleaned) and then it being blamed on them beacause "they
suck" when in reality they arent getting proper instruction. I really
hope things iron out soon there. Other than that @ west boca things are
going slow but there is progress every day and my section is getting
better and they still play their asses off.
Im starting to
get depressed though. All the things that make me happy are slowly
drifting away from me because of stupid drama or me being too busy. for
example Modjo funk might not be around any more just because people are
being stupid and holding grudges and forgeting about the most important
thing, which is the only reason I'm there and am called a sell-out
because of it, is to make good music. Everyone is getting so caught up
in stupid ego trips and bullshit and it doest seem like we're going to
play anymore together. It really sucks. It was my most favorite group.
We played good music and we had a great vibe. I could forget about
everything else in the world when we performed. but I guess its not
about that and that is a very sad thing.
Nowadays with my
schedule being fuller than i can handle it's been taking a big toll on
my physical and emotional health. I am starting to get depressed
beacuse it seems like I am always running at 100% and doing things and
making things happen for everyone else but it seems like no one is out
there for me and it's starting to mess me up. I also have very little
alone time anymore. im surrounded by people for most of my day unless i
am inthe bathroom or sleeping. Thats driving me a little crazy but not
as much as the other stuff. Physically all this stress is making me
really tired and sick more often. Like today I had the weirdest thing
happen. I was playing a concert with the UM brass choir and before i
got on stage everything started to get really blurry in my right eye
even through the performance i couldnt see my music from my right eye
so I just looked through my left and throught muscle memory made it
out alive. After the concert i went straight home and had a pretty bad
headache. Im feeling a little better now but I just want to be better.
I guess everything will be better in 2 months when im not as busy andIi
can take a few weeks off in a row to put myself back together again.
On a lighter note, I am still working on my Symphony. The first movement The Big Bang Theory is
curently 4 minutes long and i have about another 3 to go. I work on it
every sunday, my only day off in the week, and hope to finish the first
movement by Mid-October. If anyone is interested in listening to it or
even playing it. please let me know I'll hook you up with whatever you
need. ;)

Just a little update and since I'm drunk I feel its a good time to update.
Everything has been really busy lately. I did my last concert with teh UM brass ensemble with was kinda eh for me. I've been told i did ok but that doesnt matter to me. I really didnt feel it. I guess cause it was over for me I was really sad. I prolly wont play in that good of an ensemble in a looong time. Other than that I've been writing shows like a mad man so I can make some money. I got my first check of the season today (YAY! $400!) and there are more to come in teh next week.
Good and bad news. good news...Im the brass caption head at KK now. Bad news....Im the brass caption head at KK now =P Its bad cause there are only like 20 kids. but Im glad that they all want to work. As opposed to last year where we had vets who thought they would be good automatically from marching just 1 year. Anyways thats kinda cool. I just wish it were a full hornline. The only other thing that sucks is that i'd be leaving Tiff behind. Which kinda saddens me cause she finds a a way to cheer me up in any shitty situation I am in at the moment. but we'll see how that pans out.I'm starting to like her which in my head kinda sucks because someone isnt supposed to like me that much but I'm not going to complain. Its nice to be hanging out with someone who isnt out to change you or bitch about your everyflaw for a change.
The whole Camilo Espitia\Modjo Funk and the owners thing (new band) thing is starting to develop nicely. We just recorded our demo and we should be getting some gigs soon...too bad im going to be on tour, but i guess i'll get over it. We just had rehearsal tonite and I just came back from Ale-Housing with the guys. good times.
anyways... Im going to pass out now. Kinda tired and need some sleep since i need to recover so I have a voice for this weekend.
