The Poorest Summer
August 14th 2007 20:04
So, its almost over. Thank god. This has been the most random, most uncontrollable, most inconsistent summer of my life. I have had nothing to do all summer and still managed to do nothing productive. I don't understand myself. Can I get to work, PUUULLLEEASE!? Seriously. I was just thinking that maybe a switch would turn on in my head that would make me immediately want sit down in a cubicle and do whatever it is that I am told to. But it never happened. I know that that switch doesn't even exist. So what now? What in the world am I supposed to do now? It has taken me five months to realize that it is up to me to answer that question.
I'm at the library now, trying to figure out some things that I should have researched a while ago. But, the past is the past and I can't do anything to change my procrastination (unless you know of something that I don't). So I am trying to start my own business. Oh, and I did find a job!! Which I am excited about. Nevertheless, back to my business. I am a recent graduate, in the past I was good at "Putting People Together" but not in the "Are you single? I know a girl" sort of way. In the "Hey I need someone to introduce me to that club owner so that I can headline at their open mic next Friday" sort of way. I want to go into Public Relations, ofcourse it will be small time for a while, but I know that I can do it. I've been reading up on writing press releases and how to negotiate, which already comes naturally. What's next, find a market and get my name out there.
What do you think? Should I get a job in promotions for a club or should I start with a few artists? Its a few hard decisions that I have to make amends with, but I know that I will be successful.
In the end, after you've finished reading this random blog, I have to say that maybe this summer was a learning experience. Maybe it was an opportunity for me to wind down, get all of the excess stupidity out of my system, and find a track, hopefully the right track. That's just it. I've been through alot, some of which I'm not even ready to blog about, but still, I am here! And I am ready for whatever comes next.

Sounds like your summer was as frustratingly pointless as mine... good luck.
I'm all for the artists.
