well...... where do i begin?
im not driving cab anymore. i started out making good money, and that dwindled down to last months grand total of like, $800. i couldnt make rent in full and i did a patch job on my bills. ive had nothing but drama with the other drivers and my boss for various reasons. im not totally innocent in everything, but it was a lot of shady things that happened to me there, too many incidents to count. the latest being that i went in to work last night and the owner had my number removed from the board. nobody would tell me what was going on, nobody would tell me why or anything. they just dropped me. so, im stuck. i spoke to a bartender friend of mine, and she told me that she had a job for me, $16 an hour drilling water wells. cool, i figured i would take that route in the interim. after talking with her boyfriend, this job is much more then anticipated.
come to find out, the 16 is only half the story. thats a starting wage for one part of the job. it completely skyrockets after that... and while i will have literally no social life for the bulk of this year, if all goes well and i can take it for a year, i'll walk out with 6 figures next year. once you are on the "rig", they will pay for your hotel stays so that you dont have to drive to and from everyday. which means, i'll have only food, auto insurance, and gas expenses for the next year and sock everything away as best as i can. its a great setup for the long haul, i think, but its one hell of a sacrifice to make in the meantime.
after that, im trying to get out, buy a fixer-upper home, build my studio on the inside, and really dig in to music. i havent really had the time or energy this last 9 months or so. my venture back into it has been so-so, but with my work schedule these last 5 months, i simply havent had the energy. after this year im taking a year off of work, and i will b\e able to afford that easily if i can stick out this one year.
actually, i have a friend who did this and made about 70 grand in abuot 6 months.... i know its legit, its just very taxing physically. for me, emotionally as well... cause im really not going to be seeing friends or family or anyone for very loing stretches of time, almost like a military stint or something, just with a massive boatload of money as a reward.
anyhow, just lettin everyone know, im gonna be ghost, by large for this next year, but i'll be checkin in with progress. hopefully i can handle it. i'll be setting my self up for some big things if i can make it. this is going to be a tough chapter for me.
