Inspired...

Today has been a day of inspiration and self worth! Motivation and a cloud of inspiration has settle over me, and I'm finding it much easier to make it through the day! I don't know where this feeling has come from, but it feels incredible!

Charlie told me to create a position for myself. So yesterday, i walked into Les Borsai's(The CEO of Modern Artist Management)office and demanded he give me task. He handed me a coffee cup, and said, "Here, this is your first task...give it to me the way you think i'd like it." So, I took what i knew of the gentleman and gave him lots of cream and one sugar. When I went to drop it off, he asked, "How did you know i'd like lots of cream and one sugar?" I answered, "Well, i figure that everyone is just like your coffee...and from what i know, underneath it all, you're a little bitter, just like a good brew, and you have a hint of sweetness. (wink)" I had heard from a number of people that you had to be opinionated and strike back with Les in order for him to respect you. I kinda gave a little more than a strike, but he laughed and then entrusted me with more projects...so i guess it worked!

A couple hours later, there i was...a headset on, rolling calls, researching the best places for a light sandwich, and stretching myself emotionally and mentally. Its invigorating.

After I returned from my lunch break today, Vera Salamone(Jenn Sousa's[Kelly Clarkson's X-Manager]Assistant)asked me where i saw myself going, what i wanted to do in management, and what i wanted to accomplish from it all. In not even a split second i blurted, "Give 'em goosebumps!" And its so true. I know something is quality when i get goosebumps...so bring 'em on! I want to give people goosebumps with every creation i produce. Lets hope for the best!

Settling In

I realize it's going to take a long time to feel like Los Angeles is home, but I've started the process. I want this to work, and

I'm gonna make it work. I was asked by a coworker to help on launching a new artist, along with a new record label! Everything is falling into place, I'm feeling at home at home, at work, at the internship, and in life in general. Why will it work? Because I have different people from all over the US rooting for me! Leaving myself open for inspiration from every angle, I am going to dive into this without looking back, and hope for the best. Will I come out unchanged? Why would i want to?

A little change of pace, and kinda a funny story...my apartment is flooded! A pipe burst in the hallway outside my apartment and now everthing is standing in an inch of water. The cleasners and repair men are overworked, so of course its gonna take way to long to get them to fix it, but i'm hoping I at least get rent reduction for next month!

Hmmmm...what else? Oh yeah, the power went out and the fire alarm went off at work today. The entire building was forced to evacuate, and i decided to make the most of the situation and go to get gelato with a couple friends ;~) The building was just getting back to normal when i got back! Perfect timing.

Well, i'm dozing off, I think I'm gonna go jump underneath a desk and take a nap. Until next time ;~)
