I've been up for a while, so yesterday and today seem to be blending together rather nicely. I don't really see the use in birthdays, since today, i am no more mentally prepared for the future than i was yesterday, but the difference being that i can now buy booze, something everyone gets tired of right around the time we are allowed to buy said beverage. I've done my share of adolecent drinking to satisfy my thirst, at least for now. It's just good to know that I can always fall back on achoholism for the psedo-egoboost that I need to stumble through the day. I woke up on monday to a phone call from one of the artists that I work with, Nickasaur! (yes, for some reason, the exclaimation point is in his name), asking for a quick instrumental for a song cover he had in mind. He wanted to cover T-pain's "Lemme Buy U a Drank" (hookt on foniks must work for him), but to slightly change it, giving the song a lo-fi, game boy feel. This means, I had to make the entire backing beat from scratch, THEN change the instruments. No Problem. In fact, it was so fun I did a couple more; "Apologize" by OneRepublic, and "IceBox" by omarion:

I then, went back to sleep. No significant thing happened that day. I awoke yesterday to another one of my artists waking me up to record a session. What resulted was I song that came out pretty good considering I made the entire thing in my PJs, including rap the last verse. (I'll post this when I load it on my PC). I also realized it was my busiest day of the week, because I had to meet with another artist, Darrell Baskin, to discuss his contract with me (just a simple recording agreement, nothing big). I also had to gloss the contract over with my Partner, who didnt quite understand the jargon, but since i was quarterbacking the deal, simply needed to know the basics. I then, went to the home studio to do two acoustic covers, both of which are on my quarterLife Page. After I finished, I realized I had been working all day and It was already wednesday. My Birthday. I proceeded to turn on my PC and blog about the last two days. And am still doing so....
