Today was great.
I am pleased to announce that one of my songs was played today on a radio station during the 5 o'clock traffic jam in Columbus, GA. THAT phone call was AWESOME.
I am told that 4 out of 5 callers LOVED the song. The fifth caller called the song "typical". Well, we can't please everyone. But this is surely a start to something epic!
This week is going to be a busy one for me. Plus Simon Cowell's "X Factor" auditions are in Seattle this Wednesday, April 20th, 2011. I thought about going, but remembered how horrible of an experience I had with American Idol and vowed I'd never do anything like that again... Yes. I auditioned for American Idol in 2004 in San Francisco. We drove there. It was the last audition city and pretty much not exciting at all. What they DON'T show you on TV is that you have to audition at least 2-3 times BEFORE you even make it to (then) Paula, Simon, and Randy. You also have to sign a waiver before the process that they have permission to use your image in any way they want (i.e. make fun of you, etc.). Then it was hours on end of filming once you got into the place after hours of standing in line. And the most horrible part? They had about 20 booths set up with about 10 people auditioning at the same time PER BOOTH. It was a noisy mess! Needless to say, I did not make it through. But that is never a reason to give up! If you google or bing, you'll see how many artists got boo'ed at the Apollo or lost on Star Search back in the day before stardom.

I want to encourage you and inspire you, that whatever you desire in life can be yours no matter who says so! Remain positive in your everyday dealings and the laws of attraction will bring those things to you! Well, I am off. Until next time friends...
