Personal Legend

     So as you've probably seen my goal is to become a touring musician. It's one of my only goals and I know I should have more, but I have such a love for what I do that I can't imagine a life without it. While material possessions and money are nice there is so much more to this than that. First of all I want the music I create to bring people great joy. I would love for my music to help make people happy and help them out of a rough time. I want to make something that everyone can at least appreciate.
     I also want to be able to travel and see this wonderful world. There's so much to do and so little time. Most people don't get to explore the world and I would love to be able to do that. It'll be great because with a band I'll have my best friends with me and it would be great to also bring my girlfriend with me to travel and have her see everything. Spending time with those closest to me on these adventures would be amazing.
     It would be so much fun, getting to run around on a stage for a living. Just goof off all the time. Obviously there will be a lot of hard work put into it and it won't be all fun and games. But either way it would be better than staying home and working an office job. I just want to bring joy to peoples lives. See the world, be with those closest to me, and just have as much fund as humanly possible.




Here lies Andrew
He was someone many of you knew
He was quite the dork
But was always hard a work
His goal was to always make you smile
One that would last for a while
Even if he was so far away
He was always one phone call away
When he wasn't playing his own shows
You could always catch him watching his superhero shows
Always wanted people to be happy
Sometimes he could be quite sappy
He liked to refer to everyone as dude
and eat lots of fast food
Even though his songs were very fast
He wanted every single moment to last

Gratitude

     I currently do not have a real job, but I am an intern at BMR Music. Basically what I do is teach young kids Guitar, help keep the shop clean, help advertise, host Jam session, and I even take lessons from the owner.I'm really grateful to have this and it's a lot of fun.
     I like teaching because helping out these kids is a lot of fun and I like helping people. It also helps me retain a lot of knowledge I would otherwise forget. Sometimes I learn cool things from the kids and they help me discover new bands and artists. Also working so closely with my Guitar teacher is cool because he's a pretty nice and funny guy.
     Helping around the shop and advertising is good because it helps me learn to interact with people better and even helps me overcome certain social anxieties. The jam sessions I host are great too because there are so many different people that come every time that I'm always meeting new musicians and I learn so much by seeing how all these different people do things and all of the different stuff they listen to.



Show people what you got
Reach for the top
Always try be fast
Always have a blast
Strive for more
So it never becomes a bore
Play a lot of different music
People will think that's pretty sick
Shred the guitar
I will go far
Another day
Always a new way
Another challenge
Helps me gain more knowledge
The sky's the limit
So I will live it
