Remember Champ, Every Day Isn't A Winner.

Hi. I sit here not knowing what to write and it's the end of the month - the arbitrary deadline I give myself to post something. I have ideas and posts that I've started but nothing that promotes me to write, or finish. I don't have any videos I've seen recently to share but I do have plenty of links to stuff - some of which will be at the end of the post, as usual...

Right now I am listening to Tool's 10,000 Days. It's been a while since I've listened to it. Before that I listened to Radiohead's The Bends. It's been a while for that one too.  Before that, Jet's Get Born.  It's a good rock album.  I've listened to it a few times this year.  And all the while I was listening to them (and still am), I was doing my 'Mondays'.  (pause, reflection... backspace)  I just decided to not go into that.  Think of it as doing stuff that needs to get done.  Normally, I have Mondays off but today I worked an 8 hour day (compared to my Fri-Sun 12 hour days) to help cover the Memorial Day holiday at the place that pays my bills.  They make working holidays desirable.  Enough about that as well.

Now that the writing has started to flow, I think it's time to go.  Sometimes it's best to end short leaving people wanting rather than going on and on and becoming annoying, boring and whatever other word you want to throw in.  do that here.  That's not a link but a good try nonetheless!  It's getting late into the evening, artificial deadline met and all, and I am tired from working the last 4 days and not getting the kind of sleep a person at my age should be getting.  Perhaps that goes for any age.  Perhaps.  Don't look at that last word too long, because it will cease to be a word.  It happened to me.  I would erase it if it weren't for my nostalgic heart.

Okay.  I'm off now to sleep and dream of things not of this world.  And tomorrow, do things like mail out CD's and mix music.  That's not all but it's all I can think of as a sure thing right now.

Resolutions = Revolutions: 2019 Goals

Image
I feel like I had a pretty good 2018. I set goals. I experimented with them. I accomplished much. Now that it’s the beginning of 2019, I feel as though I have a clean slate. I have the opportunity to build, maintain, and reframe what’s important to me and where I see the gaps in my ambitions are. Of course, every day is an uphill battle. I am not wealthy nor without the need to work a “day job.” I have a wife and kids, and they have their own needs and desires, which often conflict with my own. Every day requires effort. That’s not to say that some days don’t happen to work out and go smoothly. For the most part, there is no natural smoothness. It takes energy, effort, and a clear understanding of objectives and priorities. Even though I feel I have a clean slate, I still want to carry over goals or aspects of goals to 2019. I’ll surely re-evaluate as I go, but I need a direction to start in. I learned plenty from last year, some of which I go into in the wrap-up post for my 2018

The R&D Workshop No.11

The Office Introductory Post I’ve talked about writing this post for what feels like months. It has likely only been about two months at the most. I am not writing this post as an explanation to justify my choice to rent an office—which is really just a room in an office building—or to portray myself in a way that doesn't reflect reality, or in order to gain favor with whatever your feelings are towards me. I write this post to share my thoughts about going into such an endeavor and to hint at what that general endeavor is. I write this, in part, because that is what this feature to my blog is about, and I’m excited about this change within my life. I’m hoping it’s a big step in the direction I want to go. When it comes down to it, I am renting an office to have a place outside of my house to work in peace and quiet. I tried the library once, and it wasn’t as quiet or peaceful as I thought it would be. I don’t have any interest in hanging out at a coffee shop, as I don’t thi

Put The Music On Hold, It's Summer

Image
For the past three summers, I have abandoned any hope of being able to work on music in my makeshift home studio. To be fair, the first of those three summers was after I got engaged and had just recently bought a house. So, there was the whole moving and "getting settled" into our new home, and planning and preparing for our late September wedding that just so happened to be at our newly acquired house. Fortunately, the house was a flip, so we didn't have a lot to do inside. There was no "flip" on the outside, and we knew we wanted the ceremony to take place in the back yard. We basically gutted the back yard and created a clean slate to work with going forward. It did look nice with its new sod and openness. We could have spent money on venues, or we could use it to pay for home and yard improvements. Option two won easily. Everything went but the trees. The next two summers had their own projects and activities. The nice weather just screams, &q
