So you know what REALLY pops my fucking bubble? When artists play "the artist card". Like oh I'm so special because I make music and all this crap so I can do whatever I want whenever I want and you just have to like it. THAT IS BULL. Yeah I know you're the artist and we need to go around your schedule but you are not the center of the universe by all means either. I have a schedule too and I am rather pissed when I am not respected in return after I bend over backwards to make shit convenient for you. I do not like being taken for a ride and I am smart enough to know that I'm on one right now. Cut the shit please and thanks. I am not putting my own life on hold for you and for fucks sake there are other people that I can interview and other such music related things to write about. Oh be ready and make a list, we can do it tonight. UM WELL.....it's tonight and where the fuck are you. UGHHHH. In honor of this little episode, I give you the musical middle finger. PEOPLE = SHIT.

It's haunted kind of day
Strange happenings, is there a full moon or something? First my phone charger didn't properly charge my cell, so I was forced to go to work without it (you have no idea how hard that was for me). Then the machines at work kept going off by themselves. Oh and I completely forgot to wear a tie today which I NEVER forget. Coincidentally I'm attending a paranormal seminar tonight on dreams and how the paranormal can influence them. Should be really good, it's by one of my favorite paranormal experts Jeff Belanger.
Feeling super tired today, like I just want to sleep forever. I also have a strange feeling about this big interview that I'm trying to get coordinated. I don't know if it's just because I'm nervous over how it's all going to come together or if it's really not a good idea. Usually when I get strange feelings about things they turn out to be accurate. Ugh, I don't know. I just have this nervous energy about it all. Maybe part of it is having to wait for replies, and me just over thinking and being inside my own head. Listening to CKY right now because it's super calming to me and I LOVE that band. I just need this to all go my way, and I need to take a deep breath in case it doesn't. I hope I don't forget to exhale.
Trying to sedate myself.....
Oh, the Cold Black interview

I am so much closer than I have known
I'd damn well better be thanking my lucky stars, things are coming together on a really big interview. I mean, REALLY BIG. Like, career changing big. I can't say who yet but it's world famous band. One that I've loved for a long long time. If this actually happens I don't even know how I'm going to react. I'm excited, but trying not to get my hopes up too much just in case. I'm off Thursday, hoping to get to the beach. And going to Maine this weekend, there's some kind of music festival there, so I'll take a few photos and write about that.
Signing off ;)

Yawn, what time is it?
Having a lazy day, it feels great to just chill out and not leave my house. Working on the Cold Black interview right now, should be up soon. I'll post a link later. Gonna watch some movies or just play on Youtube and lurk social media til I pass out.

A quickie for the road
Busy the past few days, working and spending the holiday with my family. Have to play catch up and start cranking some shit out for the website. I hate when life gets in the way, but I guess that's....well, part of life? Setting up a chat with the Editor In Chief of REVOLVER next week. Love that magazine, can't wait to write about it. It's gonna be a little nerve racking though because it's obviously a magazine and their writers are bomb. So I really gotta step it up for that. the Cold Black guys should be getting back to me soon too. OH and I set up Instagram FINALLY. LaFemme_Metal on there.
Running now...

Blog, interrupted
SERVICE WENT OUT AGAIN. Repair man numero dos to come through and fix things. If it happens again I think I might cry. Will someone let me come live in their house where there's a stable connection, so I make my living? Okay this isn't exactly my living, I still work. Unfortunately. But someday I will be doing this full time.
In the mean time I wrote a new article, probably the worst I've ever written (that's in general to not just for this). But I posted it anyway, I need to keep up my content, not that quantity is better than quality. I don't know, not feeling this. Glad tomorrow is a holiday. I will be working my normal job, but I'll get family time in and that is always a bright spot.

Houston we have a problem....
Sorry I've gone missing for a day or two, my whole network and phone were out. Thanks lightning for hitting the box on the side of my house. Maybe I shouldn't use the computer during storms anymore? Well, it's fixed now and I'm back, which is good because now the work has piled up on me. Getting things accomplished today though, made up some lost time.
Getting in touch with more people to do interviews, hitting up some heavy hitters and hoping to hear from them...okay that was lamely worded. And yes I just made up that word, but I am awesome, so. In the process of getting an interview with Warren Michael Boyd, who is a musician and a producer of music and film. Also brother to Nikki Boyd, photographer and model, who is girlfriend to Bam Margera. Ah, that juices it right up. Waiting for a response from Cold Black as well, a nice group of guys from Copenhagen Denmark. If you like Black Veil Brides, Avenged Sevenfold, stuff like that, then you'd like this band. Hoping that they can get signed and come over to America to tour, I think they would do very well.
Time to run, blog soon.

Throwing all my balls in the air
First off before I say anything else I have to say that this blog was really hard to name and EVEN HARDER TO GET A BLOG URL FOR. HOLY CRAP!
But now that its off my chest I can digress. I guess I should add the the reason I started this blog is to talk about my experiences in a sort of anonymity. I know not everyone is going to read it so I can safely post what I'm up to without announcing it all over the social media sites and getting things out there ahead of myself. Some people I know will probably read it and that's totally fine, I just feel like it's better to have a little cover? Anyways....
So I've started working for Examiner.com as a freelance music writer. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it but it turns out that I really do and I'm not too shabby of a writer (well I never have been anyways). I've done 3 pieces so far in the past week, one Top 5 List, an Interview with Glenn Stewarts who is a really nice genuine guy and an awesome promoter, and an Article on the psychotic life of Amanda Bynes.
By far my favorite has been the interview and I am hoping to do a lot more. I've tossed a bunch of balls out into cyber space, hoping I'll be a able to catch them aka get more interviews. If it goes how I'm hoping it will then this could be a big career step for me. Until then I'll keep throwing pitches and watching them carefully; it'd suck if they fell on my head.
Later :)
Oh check out my profile for Examiner ;)
