"You're just a leatel chicken, Geo. CHEEP, CHEEP, CHEE-EEE-EEP!!!"
Stage 5, Day 15,
Why is it that money and my long-term vision and purpose have been on my mind today, and not women? Fortunately, I'll be rocking BASE after this run is over, and we'll see if BASE will put me in a position to rock BAMM afterwards. I don't know how to use BAMM, or its instructions, but I take it that I'll need to sort out things I want to sort out before jumping into a 12 stage program (with 64 days each, right?).
My instinct has been telling me to move to Los Angeles to pursue this music career, and the more I think about my career, the more I'm starting to see past the bullshit of institutions; universities, churches, corporations (labels, production companies); after all, it's all composed of people playing out roles. It all really comes down to that. If I can firstly disconnect from their opinion (completely), and then become more self-actualized, all while being able to empathize with these people, then there's really nothing to fear.
Don't even know if LA is a good place for that; logically, Nashville seems like a better place. And even so, I'm a Canadian citizen, so VISAs will have to be sorted out.
These two videos were extremely helpful:

The first one, moreso. It's about a rather established actor, after 4 years of hustling and justifying his existence in Hollywood, sharing the stone cold truth about the business; you gotta work hard, day after day, to get by. If you're not willing to do that, go home.
I wonder if BASE and BAMM make menial or otherwise unpleasant tasks more fun and enjoyable to do, or just raise willpower to do them anyways.
Studying hard for a midterm for Tuesday, got a date for Wednesday.
