The Day in the Life of a Starving Musician

Ok....so we are not very good bloggers, we admit it. But, this sure is fun. We haven't taken the time to post photos but that will be this weeks goals. This is Jared. This has been an awesome adventure so far. Life is great without a real job...but don't tell Kerri I said that. Here is what a typical day looks like for me.

Wake up...7 am. Help get the kids out the door to school. Kerri then leaves with Jack and the kids and goes on a walk every morning with some of the neighborhood ladies. I tell her that I am going upstairs to "work." She says, "I don't care what you do up in the bonus room (thats where the office is) just make us some dang money!" Ok honey...no problem. She comes back 1 hr later and usually catches me playing my guitar. If I am careful I hear her come in the door and quickly put my guitar away an open up career builder so it looks like I am actually trying to get a job.

Actually, Kerri is very supportive and that is my little practice time. So.....we are still working on the job/income thing. I have a few jobs if I want them. #1 sell my kids. JK. #1 Sell cars. #2 Sell roofs. #3 um....i forget. Or...I am seriously working on some internet business ideas. I wrote an ebook on "how to play the guitar by ear for beginners." I will let you know when it hits the net. WOW....I better end this paragraph...I am making myself feel like a royal loser!

So...9 am or 9:30 or 10:00...I quit playing the guitar and decide to get serious. So....I go take a shower.

11:30....Long shower was great. Couldn't figure out what to wear. Should I wear my jeans and polo shirt (boring, but ok for job hunting). Or should I wear my shorts and t-shirts (great for open mic nights). Or pajama bottoms and t-shirt (great for internet business).

12:30....Its been a big day. Time for lunch. (Kerri is cracking up right now as I write this. She is laying a bed our neighbors gave us right here in the bonus room/office. I thought it would be good to get a bed in here cause work gets really hard and I need to nap a few times each day).

3:00 - Wake up from my siesta. They have those hear ya know. I think!

3:30 - get in my truck with my guitar and drive around. This makes me feel productive.

5:00 - Where the heck am I! Call Kerri and tell her I might be a little late getting home from work.

5:30 - Call Kerri again and tell her I found a sweet open mic night in Nashville. Go in and get a stamp so I can play there next week. Stay for 4 hours hoping to "make some connections."

9:30 - Well...no connections tonight but what a great day

10:00 Get home...tell kerri about my great day....head upstairs and search career builder for a job.

I love you guys. Life is great here. Thank you for all of your prayers. But if you really want to help...JUST SEND MONEY!!! Just Kidding. Peace. Love. Rock On. Jared Bootch :)
