It's finally here. After playing at a Mexican restaurant on Valentine's Day, I got a taste of what Open Mic nights at restaurants are like. It is nice to be an entertainer. You have to start somewhere. I don't mind starting at the bottom if the long term goal is to be an entertainer.
I am going again tonight to the Open Mic night at the Mexican restaurant. I will play a few songs and have some food. It will be fun. The thing is, my work week is not that busy, so the weekends are actually the payoff for having a long boring week.
It says in the Tao Te Ching, 'Accomplish the great by a series of small acts.' That means, do a little bit every day and don't give up on yourself. That is how you gain success.
I'd like to be a musician now that my judo career is over. I didn't get much for it anyway.
I don't want a boring day job in an acupuncture clinic or a graphic design office anyway. I want to learn how to monetize my music. I would also continue writing books on Taoist Nutrition and how not to get used by an evil system.
There are a lot of opportunities on long island for a musician. There are restaurants and bars everywhere. But the real big market is in NYC. That's where the money is. I have to build up to that. I have to gain experience playing infront of smaller audiences. So I will accomplish the great by a series of small acts. The Asians are the best at warfare, because they are bright. They understand how to use a limited amount or resources in a big way.
So I will apply my enormous talent in a big way and get a big result.
