March Wrap Up: Vegas Trip

As I wrap up my March in Miami, I get to reflect on a number of things, including my trip to Las Vegas.  But let me start elsewhere:

  • Songwriting Course: For a free online course, this one has been challenging, but also enlightening.  I've learned so much about writing songs and I still have two more weeks to go.  This week we get to write a full song, which is exciting.  I've already started three different songs that I'm excited about.  I hope I can accomplish what I've set out to do.  I will say that I will continue to work with Coursera - the courses so far have all had potential.  Up next?  I might have to take Calculus!  I get to post my songs on a site called Soundcloud - which makes it easy to only share them with those I want to hear them. 
  • Vegas Vacation: Okay, so it wasn't really a vacation, but it was some time away.  I can honestly say I don't care for Vegas.  I found it to be a true den of depravity, but what's new?  Too much smoke, too much noise, too much drinking.  Definitely not the place for me!  I'll post some of the postable pictures at the end of this. 

    My travel to get there was very interesting:
    • Flight from FLL to LAX
    • Free shuttle from LAX to Metro Station
    • Green Line to Blue Line to Red Line to Union Station
    • Amtrak to Oceanside
    • Reverse and repeat on the way back.
  •  On The Road Again: Looks like I'm going to be on the move again - I'm sad to say that, but it is true.  But I've got to really make a decision that will work for me for a long time because I am truly tired of moving!  You've got to admit that I'm pretty good at it but I don't like it.  And I'm done with my "career".  I need to find a new one and find my passion.  I will become something I want to be!
