Making Dreams Come True...







I made a promise to myself when I was in high school that I would never settle for anything. I would never settle for a job, a man, or a life of mediocrity. Our world is filled with people who just settle for an average life. The average job, the average marriage, just...average. Call me cocky, call me big headed, but I've always known that I deserve better than an average life, and I was going to ensure that it never happened to me. Well, I had a few internships working for advertising agencies. I met great people and it was one of the best experiences I have had. But, it was just average. I've always had the "dream" to go back to California, live in LA, work for a record label and do what I LOVE, music. So I went for it. I sent my resume into some of the best music companies and record labels in the U.S. and my heart dropped when I got a voice-mail from a lady from EMI Music (one of the worlds leading music companies who owns Virgin Records,Capitol Records, and many more and who've signed artist such as THE BEATLES) saying she was very impressed with my resume and wanted to talk more about a possible internship this summer. I had a few phone interviews, then found out I got the internship with EMI music at the Capitol Records building in Hollywood, California. Excitement would be an understatement. This summer will definitely be a huge learning experience for me. I feel like I am in a fork in the road. This is part of God's plan for me to see if this is what I really want to do and if LA is where I am supposed to be, or if Texas really has stole my heart. Stay posted for updates throughout the summer on how it is going.

And now one of my favorite songs right now: Float by Ko Ko.

Tupac Hologram at Coachella 2012

I've said to myself the past 3 years "I'm going to Coachella this year no matter what." Well, I didn't make it to Coachella AGAIN this year and I'm kicking myself. The lifelike hologram of Tupac was West Coast Rapper Dr. Dre's inspiration. I got the chills when watching this video. Just when we thought technology couldn't get much better, we start bringing some of the best rappers alive "back to life" to perform.

Song Of The Day: Alpine- Icypoles (Star Slinger Dreamix)

Insane.

Song Of The Day: Rescue Song- Mr. Little Jeans (RAC Remix)

Talk about a song that will completely put you in a daze. After weeks of tests, interviews, and stressing about life, all I wanted to do tonight after class was two things: 1) Lay in my bed 2) Listen to good music. Rescue Song by Mr.Little Jeans, literally rescued me from the funk i've been in all day after taking one of the hardest tests of my life. Sit back, relax, and hopefully this song can rescue you from whatever stress is going on in your life.
