DAY NINETEEN (12/3/12)

1 - Wake Up @ 6:00am

     This morning was rough.  I laid in bed for eight minutes, weighing the pros and cons of getting up early.  It was a slight victory for the 'angel shoulder'.  Got up, brushed my teeth, worked out.  Success!

2 - Scottish Shower

     I'm now immune to cold water.  I stood in there for about twelve minutes today.  One thing sucked: I forgot my towel.  Dripping wet to my room and back was benumbing.  I won't make that mistake again.  The key to getting out of a cold shower is NO WIND!  No quick movements 'til you're dry.

3 - No Television

     Instead of television, I worked hard catching up on music production.  I went all the way back to DAY FOUR.  (Holy crap!  I'm fourteen days behind in production.  I've only recorded/posted Days 1, 2, 3, 5, 6)  DAY FOUR is a load of crap!  A mindlessly simple song, yet impossible to mix.  I spent three hours trying to put this load of manure together...and failed.  I'll go back to DAY FOUR at the end of this Challenge.  I moved on (pissed as all Hell - Rachel witnessed) to DAY NINE.  I got most of the tracks in the can, but when I went back to mix, I realized I read some of the music in the wrong key (idiot!) and have to redo it.  I'll get more done tomorrow night.  Hopefully!

4 - Clean My Room

Room is clean = Ethan is happy...and still pissed about the DAY FOUR song.

5 - Write A Song Every Day

      I spent most of the night unsuccessfully catching up on recording older songs, but still saved time to write down a pretty decent lick for DAY NINETEEN.  Mission accomplished, but I really want to get more songs posted.  It's more fun to produce an actual product, than just having the magic down on paper.

6 - 30 Minute Workout

     Still haven't gotten the gym membership, but I'm doing just fine with free weights and stairs.  Moral of the story: FREE IS FREE!
