Hi

Before I go on about myself and my adventures with the One-Week Job Program, I want to take a minute and talk about the One-Week Job Project.

Many of You know that Sean released a book in May. Soon to follow is a sure-to-be-hit of a movie, One-Week Job – The Documentary. For the movie to be 100% ready, Sean and Ian need some extra support. Even if I weren’t a participant in this Program, my stance on the movie would be unchanged:

This movie is important for all of us.

The One-Week Job Project has already done so much for the future of our existence by asking questions that many people wouldn’t think or dare to ask.

How are You spending your days on Earth? Are You slaving away, working 80 hours a week only to get your reward in Your last years? Why not reward Yourself now, by searching for what You love, and LIVING IT? You’ll live happier, and You’ll probably live longer. Think about it. Even if just for a second.

This is what we need in our lives, friends. We need to be challenged so we can give ourselves that personal freedom we ALL deserve. So please, give something novel a chance, and give a little somethin’-somethin’ to the One-Week Job documentary! You are NOT giving away money to another person looking only for personal gain. You’re giving love and support for the betterment of us. The betterment of us. Okay, (DONATE!!!!!!!) done with that.

I wrote this early this morning, but the internet hasn’t been working – will update more later!

Hi

This week has gone by SO. FAST. I’m trying to wrap my mind around the fact that i’ll be leaving for my third one-week job tomorrow. Hard to do.

Being a rock star is going well. Here’s a run-down of the past few days:

Some things just come easy

On Wednesday, we rocked out. Somewhere around 2:30pm, we all ended up at the basement (Juice’s practice space), and started loading equipment into the truck. The truck turned out to be smaller than expected, so we had to rely on Phil’s Tetrus-esque genius to make as many items fit as possible. It was hot and sort of tension-filled, but we got through it. We ended up putting some items in cars, and we were on our way.

After we packed everything and got to the venue, we had to unpack the truck, haha.  That was a lot faster. A lot of people helped us set up for the show, which took about two hours. It was VERY hot, though i was mostly unaffected, being from Texas. The dangerous bit about the heat is that Juice’s performance attire is all black: Black shirt, black pants, black shoes. Black. Blackblackblack. In nearly 100-degree weather. I’ll say it again: dangerous.

Hey from Ann Arbor, Michigan!

This week’s job has resulted in my first bit of traveling during the One-Week Job Program. i’ve now gone 2,162 miles by bus! Here’s a visual for you:

For all You travelers out there, i strongly suggest using Everlater as a journal for your adventures. It enables to you to blog, upload photos, embed videos, and do it by every stop you mark on the travel map. There’s also an iPhone app. Check it out!

This week, i’m working with a 9-person musical percussion variety group called Juice.

Brandon, one of the members of the group, contacted Sean twice: Once during his 52-week Project, and again before the Program started. When Sean released Brandon’s information to us, i responded to the email with one statement after doing my research:

“I love Juice.”
