DAY THIRTY (12/14/12)

The final day...

1 - Wake Up @ 6:00am

     Alarm goes off and like a kid on Christmas morning, Rachel was jumping on the bed before I could even get the alarm turned off.  My last day of this challenge; her last day of undergraduate school.  Pretty cool.  She took off to go take her last final right away and I went to go hit up my last brush teeth/workout routine.  The difference here is that hers is much more important than mine, but mine will continue on after this day.

2 - Scottish Shower

     TWENTY MINUTES IN FREEZING WATER!!  Going out with a bang.  I wasn't going to have some lame, tepid finale to this whole contrivance.  I stayed under that faucet 'til I was good and ready.  'Til I made for damn certain that I would remember this feeling if for some reason I didn't follow through with cold showers in the future.  I will probably take a hot shower tomorrow just to remember what they feel like, but I'll return to cold showers afterward.  Not ice-cold, but colder than most of you would enjoy.


3 - No Television

     I have so much work to do on the music side of things that I don't even have time to think about TV.  I did look at Redbox and Netflix the other night, just to see what was new.  There are a lot of new movies that I need to/want to see.  But I don't think I'll be wasting much time on programmed television anymore after this Challenge.

4 - Clean My Room

      The room is clean for the most part.  I have a lot musical instruments and workout equipment scattered around, but they're functional clutter.

5 - Write A Song Every Day

      I haven't written the day's song yet.  It is 11:00am as I'm typing this.  What's weighing the heaviest on my mind is the 24 songs that I have to record/mix/produce in the next proposed week.  I'm not sure how I'm going to do it.  I will forewarn you though...some of these songs are going to be shit.  Shit songs.  Simple writing for the sake of having to jot something down.


6 - 30 Minute Workout

     Lesson of the day:  There is some obscure muscle in my shoulder that has never been worked out before.  I'M REALLY SORE!  I've been doing jumping jacks the last few days.  Apparently this obscure shoulder muscle is not used in push-ups, presses or butterfly curls.  Only jumping jacks.  Pain is gain!  (It's a myth, but still fun to say)

I will be writing a conclusion/update/thoughts about the next challenge in about a week when I'm done posting all of the music.  Thanks to everyone for the continued support!!  God bless!
