| What's on Jenny's Mind?
Journal Entry - Monday May 25, 2009 As for what else is going on... LIFE... and as I talk to a lot of my friends, it's a lot of the same. Hard times are here and we just gotta get through it. People continuing to lose their jobs, loss of loved ones way too many and way too soon, a lost sense of oneself. We gotta all stick together and just appreciate all that we do have in our lives already. It's really difficult sometimes because we get hit so hard all at once and it throws us in a spiral of confusion. As I write to you, I just wanna say that without our family and true friends, we are lost. So during these hard times, just make sure to realize we do have a support team around us (family and friends) and we do not need to go at life alone, but we do need to reach out and ask for their help/ love and support or else they will not know we need it! Just wanted to share what was on my mind with you. Warmest Regards, Jen Journal Entry - Thursday, April 30, 2009 I am feeling a bit under the weather. A bad cold that's just gonna have to take its course. I have been going through lots of change in my life and career lately and I know that getting sick is caused from all that wear and tear on my mind, body and soul. I just reread what I wrote yesterday and it's just interesting how my mind can control a lot of me until I really know that it's just a thought and I can actually shift that thought at any time. I am a believer in watching what I say because that is truly what I will begin to see after a while. I will admit that over the past two months, I have been focused on all of my challenges in a negative light and as I begin to look deeper, all those challenges can be seen in a positive light and were necessary to get me to where I am right here and now. There is no certainty and every once in a while I fall off the "believe and you shall receive" path and get thrown around and around until I have had enough torture and experienced enough negative thought driven days and nights which only do one thing, distract me from doing what I love. So, I walk away today from this entry with a feeling of love, patience and forgiveness. I am gonna be kind to myself and let my cold calmly leave my body. AMEN to that! Journal Entry - Wednesday, April 29, 2009 Too many thoughts in my brain... So I have already deleted way too much and while I feel like I have nothing to say... Everything wants to come out. I cannot get this underlining out of the writing and so as I stress about what it looks like and as I try to give you what I think you need so that you see me as the artist I am supposed to be... As I sit here not knowing what my next step is, so scared of what lies ahead yet very comfortable in this routine... I guess there is just nowhere to go but forward.... And so I leave the underlining here and accept it's presence and leave this entry knowing the next one will bring another thought, feeling, action and I might be calmer or more stressed or so fed up with all this bullshit that peace will once again enter my veins... JUDGEMENT IS MY ENEMY... BUT SLOWLY BECOMING A FRIEND... Journal Entry - Sunday, April 5th, 2009 Well, just got in from street performing on Hollywood Blvd. It's always and experience when you hit the streets and play. So many people with so many personalities. You got your everyday people who just pass you by and think it's bad to look at the person performing, as though I am a monster or something. Then ya got the tourists who tip you and then ask you if they could take your picture. Then ya got the smart asses who wouldn't have the balls in a million years to do what it is I am doing and yet they make fun of ya to look cool in front of their friends. I usually win those people over by playing their game and making fun of them! Hey, it's a jungle out there and I am on my own.... I gotta think quick and be on my toes! LOL The best part of today was an encounter with a guy I met. After I finished singing a song, he came by and told me how he was here today trying to find his purpose and then he heard this beautiful voice all the way from the train station and he followed that voice, which ended up leading him to me. He shared some personal tragedy with me and I honesty was taken back and felt tears coming and stopped them. He said he was now glad he found his purpose and stayed by me until I finished for the day. He took it upon himself to start handing out business cards and actually sold a cd for me as I was singing. I felt so blessed to have him there supporting and helping me out. It's hard being there on your own and not having that person to help talk to people when you're engulfed in singing. You know, life is filled with so many people like him. Goodness surrounds us as long as we allow it in! And that's what's on my mind.... Have a great night and chat soon! Journal Entry - Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 It's 4am in the morning and I just finished creating and writing my newsletter for April and just sent it out to my fans. Gosh, I think I am tired. A part of me wants to stay up and start emailing as many people as I can about my album for $4.00 and the other part says, go to sleep and start it tomorrow. I'm just excited I guess. Anyway, before I head off to sleep, I wanna say that my little nephew, Michael, is a hoot. What an actor. He calls me up today and leaves a message saying how upset he was for getting detention today. I was on my way to the gym, so when I got out I called him back. I knew he was playing with me but I went along with it. And he was good with his crying and saying how this would be on his record forever. It was so cute. After he cried and cried and cried, he stopped and said, "April Fools", and told me how he was planning this since Christmas. You gotta love how kids can just create and be so pure and how fun it is to just play along with them. Journal Entry - Tuesday, March 31, 2009 Gosh, I have spent the past week or so doing a bunch of editing and changing on my website, facebook, myspace and twitter. Ya know, adding and taking away and editing and adding and taking away and just getting myself ready for a few upcoming music projects and The Phoenix Pride Festival that I'm playing at on April 19th at 1pm. I wonder sometimes, am I am musician or a personal assistant for me with all the behind the scenes work I do... hehehe Anyway, if I had one wish right now, it would be that everyone who reads this journal entry would go and download my album latest "bend" that I just put up on my own storefront and discounted it for $4.00 because I want everyone to have it and enjoy it! I spent about a week preparing the storefront and it's up & ready to go! Well, that's all that's on my mind right now. So, if ya wanna make my wish come true, just go to: http://jennifervazquez.com/products.htm and for the price of a cup of coffee and a bagel, "bend " is yours! Chat soon! Have a great day! Jen Journal Entry - Friday, March 6, 2009 Hi Folks, I haven't written in a while. Life has been truly wonderful lately. I
have been spending most of my time honing my craft as a songwriter and guitarist and working on a few other creative projects.
I'll let ya know when I'm gonna be playing again.
