So this weekend went by faster than expected. I didn't get much done which is disappointing but I tried. The weeks have been secretly frustrating and I just needed to write. I still have no clue if my job is going to be eliminated but we have been assured that some people will be displaced. I honestly hope it's me. I need something to take my crutches away. I've been leaning on them for so long I need some sort of major push to take the American out of me. I haven't been lazy but I've been going through the motions which I honestly think is worse.
I have so much music it's ridiculous. I also have a ton of lyrics that don't go with the music it's double ridiculous. I think I'm going to try and song write different ways. I'm ready for Miami though. I have no doubt that when I get on that plane I will have music ready to show off to the world. I guess the hardest part is being true to yourself. I want to be known as a musician who's music connects well with people and not be a full of shit musician like so many are. The sad thing is not all of them are but are stereotyped that way because of society.
I was doing something I never do today. Watching Television. I only watch on Mondays for one reason. Nashville Star. I don't know if anyone who reads this watches it but I've seen Gabe Garcia live and he is a hell of a musician. I truly wish the best for him and that he becomes the next Nashville Star. That man is the definition of a dreamer at work. He gave up a lot to move out to Nashville and it's paying off. He gave me some inspiration and reinstated the fact that normal people can get record deals.
It's the weirdest thing starting over really. Starting from scratch is easier said than done. No worries though. I'm in no way giving up my dreams. I may be in a coma as of now but one day the dream will become a reality. But as for now I'm just trying to figure out where I am. They says it's a long road to get where you want to go. I don't think I'm even on that road yet. So first off I'm going to find my road. I guess it's back to the drawing boards for now. Oh and for the people who are reading this. THANK YOU. you don't know how much it means to me that you haven't given up on me. It's so great to have people in my life that believe in my dreams. I wish you the best in yours as well. We'll all be happy together :)

The week of uncertainty
Hello all (the 3 people including myself that read this)
It's been quite a weekend/beginning of the week.
Wachovia announced that they lost 8.8 Billion dollars this quarter and are cutting 6,000 jobs. As an employee it's been so agonizing, because they are going to displace us but we're not sure when. Just imagine going to work knowing your last day is soon but you don't know when. So you're constantly thinking about the money you should have saved and the jobs you might be able to get. At the same time you don't want to leave because of the severance package. So needless to say monday and tuesday have seemed twice as long.
On a brighter note this weekend was awesome and productive. I wrote with two of my friends and it went even better than I thought. Even though we talked for the majority of time in both sessions it was productive because I had ideas for lyrics. I'm going to have a song done by the end of this week I promise. Hopefully I'll get it posted up by next week and get your opinions on it. My good friend Marc Mayer will be putting some sweet harmonies and guitar on my demos. I can't wait for Miami!
Well i don't want to drag out this blog with boring words so that will be it for today. I'll give you'll an update sometime this week on the whole job loss/writing process.

Here it goes
This is my first entry EVER for a blog. Welcome to "epiphanies come at the worst times". I decided on the name because my best thoughts seem to happen when I'm on the clock between 8-5 and by the time I'm able to reach for a pen it's gone. This was until about a year ago. I made the smartest purchase ever. A voice recorder! It's really my whisper recorder since I sneak in ideas here and there whenever possible.
For those who don't know me I'm a musician and that's the reason I write, but at the end of the work day you're always tired and during the weekends you're just trying to recover so Monday won't be so harsh. At least that's what procrastination wanted me to believe and so I'm now slowly getting over the procrastination bug and I'm going to write as much as possible.
I'm working on my music project right now since my old band The Tale of (www.myspace.com/thetaleof) decided to part ways. Going to be in Miami for 2 weeks next month to co-write with my cousin, so I'm trying to get as much material gathered until then. If you have any suggestions or ideas for me to write a song about please please please send them my way. I'll write about anything and everything. I'll post some lyrics up here soon and hopefully get some feedback.
Well that's it for the first blog. Time to go to sleep before I crash at my desk tomorrow.
Until next time,
Cid Fox
