Austin's Not My Home

So I'm moving back home for a while to sort things out. I still haven't decided what I really want to do for a career, and things are getting really frustrating here in Austin. I guess it was one of those things I had to experience to see how I would feel about it.

We'll see how things go from here.

Austin So Far...

I've been in Austin for 8 days now. This place is amazing! I've only discovered just a fraction of the awesome stuff down here.

Still no job, so that sucks. Out of all the applications I've turned in so far, I actually have an interview on Friday for a delivery position. I just need something that will keep me here and help me pay rent.

I'm in an apartment JUST southeast of downtown. Real nice location and convenient to lots of good places.

Let ya know about the job stuff later on! Peace!

Austin!

It's been a while since I last posted...

I'm moving to Austin, TX in a week! I can't wait! I'm actually really nervous because I haven't been able to secure a job down there yet, and I already have rent and other bills to pay. I'm sure something will happen soon... I've put in applications at all sorts of places. Once I get down there it'll be easier to follow up on stuff.

See ya in Austin!

Art Show With Rolando Diaz

So I have an amazing opportunity coming up for my music. Cuban native Rolando Diaz makes a living by painting oil-canvas paintings in front of live audiences with the help of a musical artist. He feeds off of and lets the music create his works of art. He's putting on a show in Longview, and he wants me to perform for him and his painting.

The event is scheduled for Sunday, November 1. It starts at 3:30 and will go to 5:30. After he is done painting, he will auction it off for charity. He did a performance last night in Austin with the band Little Feat, and afterwards the painting sold for $6,000.

I talked to Rolando earlier today, and we're both excited to see what will happen at this event!

I can't wait!

Dallas Cowboys Birthday

So I'm going to my first pro-football game on Monday, September 28, 2009. My dad and I are going to Arlington to see the Dallas Cowboys host the Carolina Panthers. We're also going to see the Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays play on Sunday, September 27. We're doing this for my birthday mainly, but also because we really want to see the Cowboys play in their new stadium.

I can't wait! :-D

Hurry Up Texas

It's Monday, June 1, 2009. I should be starting my new job today, but the facility is still waiting on the state to finalize the move to Tyler. All the paperwork and other "formalities" were due by the end of May, so now we're just waiting on the state to give its blessing.

I kinda need to start this job now due to my financial burden that's about to bite me in the ass starting in July. $19,000 in student loans isn't pretty, but it could be worse.

Baseball, Movies, and "Aarolyn"

My dad and I are going to the Rangers/Yankees game tonight! Last night's game started with a 2 hour, 24 minute rain delay. Tonight's game should start on time... weather forecast shows just 10% precipitation in the area at 7pm. GO RANGERS!

I saw Terminator Salvation last night with my grandmother. You may ask "Why see that with your grandma?" My very first rated R movie that I saw was Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and I saw it at her house when I was about 12 years old. I thought it was amazing. That, and we both love going to movies. She's always taken me to the movies, and I couldn't watch the new Terminator movie without her.

My best friend, Aaron, is back from his 7-month naval deployment, and he and his wife Carolyn (hence the name "Aarolyn") are currently on the road back to Texas. I just called them and they were sitting at a Waffle Shop in Mississippi. He's been driving all night, so they took a little bit of a break. They're about 7 hours out, so soon enough they'll be back home! Excited!!

Adios!
