Band Issues?

Top ten reasons why to keep trying:


1. It strengthens and shows your commitment.


2. It builds your patience.


3. All the bands that never made it big, didn't try hard enough.


4. Something good comes from all the misery times that you THINK you're going through.


5. What would you say when you retire at 65 and tell your grandkids you gave up?


6. Just because you don't see progress means you should stop, instead find out why there's no progress and fix it.


7. Nobody that lasts, starts from the top. You have to build a good foundation.


8. When all else fails, remember that there's always a plan Z.


9. It doesn't matter how you fall, what matters is how you stand back up.


10. Because it's your dream!

I got the Job

That's right!!! I got the job at AT&T, for those of you that knew about me applying and taking tests, and going to the interview. I'm proud to say God listens, and he does miracles...I'm taking this job as a Christmas gift from God, because He's always been faithful to me.

Here are the details on how I got the Job:
About a month ago I applied online in www.att.com in the carriers section, and they sent me an email requesting me to fax them a signature for God knows what (i can't remember what it was)

Then they sent me yet another email saying that they were interested in me and wanted me to take a 2 hour test online, which I passed.

After that, they sent me yet another email asking me to re-send an application but with a heck of a lot more details. I did.

Then I heard nothing from them for like 2 weeks. I said to myself well at least I tried. After that I asked God that if it was His', I would get called within days.

Their Recruiting Manager called me letting me know that I had and interview the next day. I couldn't believe it. He even told me how much I was getting paid, which is a lot.

I went to the interview and i was about one hour long. Then the interviewer told me that I should be getting an email within days. Guess what it only took them one day and they said I got it.

Now all I need to do is pass the 2 month training, and I'll be in for sure. Which the interviewer said it was impossible to fail (literally)

So pray for me so I pass, by the way: the training is paid full time/full pay.

Another add to my Christmas list

This is a great amplifier at a reasonable price only $200. So if you're wondering what I want that's affordable, here it is. Thanks a lot.

My Christmas Wishlist

Ok this baby here is worth only $560. If there's anything I truly want it has to be this. I can't express how much I want it. I'm praying that someone would come up to me and tell me he or she wants to buy it for me. The reason as to why I want this wireless system is because I am a musician who is constantly wanting to run around on stage, but I feel trapped by the instrument's cable. On top of that I'm in a band that will definitely make it to the big leagues, it's not just a dream, it's a fact. My band is being produced, so that means that we need to start buying the expensive equipment for when we go on tour. Thank you for taking the liberty of reading this, you have no idea how much this means to me.

God Bless,
Mike Pileggi

Potential Podcast

Hey bloggers, lately I've been listening to Potential Podcast (brought to you by Flamingo Road Church). And I have to say their latest segment on Creativity truly inspired me. Although, I don't always listen to them (because I don't have time to do everything), every time I catch them, I feel as though if they were talking to me. I guess what I'm trying to say is you should totally subscribe to them, and catch them when you can, the upload a new podcast every Monday. Check 'em out over here, and give a shout out to them!

Potential Podcast, you rule!!!
As a token of appreciation I've designed the picture to the top-left. hope you enjoy it!!!

Play Outside the Box

This is for every musician in the world: Every time there's a moment to play a song, I always like to go an extra step. To have a little more creativity on each song. I often find myself in a position in which I'm tired of hearing the same little solo, or the same riff. In order for me to keep my passion for music burning, I change the way I play a song, maybe add a little something more, or change up something just enough. This way, both the crowd and I have fun. My motto is play outside the box. The Box is that safe place in which all musicians are bound to get trapped on from time to time. Stuck with the same routine, the same solo, the same feeling...whatever it is that's holding you back from becoming a better musician. In brief, if you feel like you need to step it up, or maybe have been playing the same for a while now, then I recommend you to Play Outside the Box.
