And so I return to blog...

Wow.... I almost forgot that I had this blog. I guess it's because I haven't really had any readers. But that's cool. I will have to make an effort to get some.

So I was reading through my last blog and I was talking about how great Florida was on my last trip here. Well since then, I have actually moved here and am really sad to say that now that I am here and experiencing the residency side of it.... Hmmmm.... I'm not too happy with it. I really miss home. And by home, I mean Seattle. I miss the lush greenery and the fresh air. The view of the Puget Sound from the SR-99 Viaduct at Sunset still haunts me and I long to go back. Yet, how can I go back? There are so many things keeping me from hopping in my car right now, and just lugging it back to WA. Where do I begin?

Well, I guess the first thing would be money. I need, I need at the very least, $1000 to travel cross country and to mail belongings that wont fit into my car to myself. I have a part-time job working at Macy's (.......) barely making enough to pay for my food. I have few friends back home that said that they would help me out on the monetary side, but who's to say what these friends are actually willing to do. My parents said that I would just have to save as much as possible and they would help me find a way to move back after the holidays. But there are other issues at hand....

When I made the decision to move out here, I thought that there would be a plethora of opportunities just lining up to knock at my door. I thought that maybe the music scene would be better for a Latin singer. But I have barely been to a live music venue since I have been here. I came out here with the intention of doing better than I was doing in Seattle. But it seems as though I am doing worse! How can I go back and face all my friends and fellow musicians that I left behind with nothing to show for myself? No proof of my efforts out here? I can't face them with nothing. I feel like a failure and would look like a fool.

The only other thing keeping me from leaving is Lola (my 1999 Acura 3.0CL that I love with all my heart). I don't really think that my girl can do another cross country trip without breaking down. So I would not only have to save the money for a tune up and possibly new tires but the trip itself.

So as you can all see, as far as coming home right now, I am sorta screwed until I save enough dough or win the lottery... :) HEY you can't win if you don't play ;) So until then, I will be reaching out to you, Seattle, and praying that I make it home to you soon. Hopefully you wont forget me and keep me in mind for when I actually do return...

And I promise to try to Blog atleast once a week ;)

Goodnight ALL!
