Another day of errands. Hit up a few car dealerships for a possible tour van and then got some stuff at walmart for my new room. It was nice visiting a walmart that you didn’t feel like you were gonna get stabbed at. The rest of the night was spent practicing some new songs and catching up on internet world.

Day 55 - Virgin Air
Caught a morning flight out of Los Angeles to Dallas texas. I never flew with Virgin so i was kinda excited cus i knew they had wifi on board. The flight ended up being ok except for the part that we had to do a emergency fuel landing in OKC because DFW didn’t have working radios when we were about to land. Im used to delays so i just rolled with the punches.

Day 43 - Writing
It feels like its been forever since i wrote a full song. For me its always been a song either writes itself or i scratch the whole thing. Most of my best songs are literally written under 30 mins. I usually will know if a song is good within the first 5 min and if its a good song i wont stop till its done. Today i wrote my first full song in about 3 years, yeah i know…pretty sad. Maybe one...

Day 31 - Busking
Almost decided to just stay home today but i knew i would drive myself crazy. So i went and did something i always wanted to do. We went to santa monica pier and played music for people passing by. The best part of this was getting people to smile. Wether or not they gave us change, we saw so many people with a huge grin, and that almost makes everything worth it. After a few songs we realized...
