And real talk, if you wanna make money, go with the single.

If not, just stick to what you're doing.

is the "If not" option basically failure?

Play secular music

Not an option for me. I songwrite, how I songwrite.
If I simply did covers all day, I would.

But for me to actually create my own music, lyrics, everything.......it's gotta be from what I believe.
Otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish a single song.
Well change that, and write good music instead.

Change the way you write

-_-  am I not being clear?

To write a song that you believe in, you can't just put words on a page.
It's gotta mean something. I can play every song I've written with conviction, knowing I put my heart and soul into it. Songs like that can change people. Affect their lives.

I can write about loving some girl all day, but after all that is over.........money and success won't satisfy me. If I do that, it becomes just another "job".

Get out

Talk about frustrating. Its annoying when your future, your dream, is dependent on other people.
That's just how life is, unfortunately. You're forced to work with people. Either you live it cooperating with them, or they kick you to the curb and leave you in the dust.

Yup. I'm thinking I may attempt to do both these choices.......but it'll take a lot of work.
On top of my job and school.

If you don't have a reliable band then do your own thing.

I've got one reliable friend, and a new guy who will probably stick around.
I just feel like I've wasted a year. 6 days ago my Acoustic EP released year ago, and what do I have to show for it? No shows performed, around 250 CDs sold myself while doing college, and that's basically it.

I'm trying to be an Independent Christian Artist.
For the past year, I have been assembling a band and attempting to get shows.
I am back to 3 people again, and recently lost my drummer and piano players.
I feel like in a year's time I would have actually done something, instead I am dead in the water....it seems.

Also, I have 12 churches lined up who simply need to call me back to get a show.
However many haven't called back within 2 weeks time.


I have an Artist Development Label who is interested in me, thanks to my Acoustic EP I made entirely myself. However they want to hear something more professional, something I could do if I worked at it.

So my question is:
do you think I should focus on making a new single that is of professional quality and release that.
OR should I keep practicing with my band; and hope that I finally get a show, and maybe more shows will roll in after the first one?


I have been debating this decision for about a month. I just don't know what to do next.

News / Re: Project Oversight: Destiny, Part 1
« on: October 20, 2014, 01:19:22 AM »
thoughts on the Reddit AMA?

I'm inclined to believe it. Enough of it lines up to what we know is missing in Destiny, and it explains a lot. However, as the person who held it remains unconfirmed (Likely due to fear of a lawsuit), it is understandable to remain skeptical.

I worked at McDonalds, and even I DON'T CARE
These fracking things look so damn good when you're staring at the box..

Yeah, all the promotional pictures of fast food are total lies.
I wish they weren't........but they are :/

My love is over, it's underneath.
It's inside, it's in between.
These times you're healing, and when your heart breaks.
The times that you feel like you're falling from grace.
The times you're hurting.
The times that you heal.
The times you go hungry, and are tempted to steal.
The times of confusion, in chaos and pain.
I'm there in your sorrow, under the weight of your shame.
I'm there through your heartache.
I'm there in the storm.
My love I will keep you, by My pow'r alone.
I don't care where you fall, where you have been.
I'll never forsake you, My love never ends.
It never ends."

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

Do you like your job?
Very similar to Death's "don't work in the food service industry".
I went in with the hopes and expectations of making every customer happy.
I discovered that at this restaurant..........it's just not possible.
The way things are run, it can't happen.

Lately I have had a long list of bad days, where I got really stressed out.
Within 6 months of any job I've had, Im bored and want a new one.
So this is simply that now: a job.

I don't look forward to working every day, but there are good days and bad days.
It's the people I work with that keep me there honestly.
