Dang this week blew by. Didn’t really get anything done that I’d hoped to get done, either. There was no open mic this last Sunday, but I *did* go to the Radio X version on Tuesday at the same place. Played the funny stuff, though since there wasn’t a lot of people there to start, [...]

We rented Ray tonight, and though Julie fell asleep early on, I watched it through. It was a pretty good movie. While not Amadeus, it did inspire me a bit in a goading kind of way. I spent half of the movie impressed with the story and acting, and the other half wrapped up in [...]

Decided to work a bit harder on the music thing… though I still have to fight days-at-a-time apathy with it. I’m trading some web work for some guitar lessons, and will hopefully get past the fence I’ve been stuck at for over 10 years now.
Every now and then I feel like my singing voice is [...]

You know, if I actually *did* half of the things I plan to do, or have ideas to do, I’d be one of the most accomplished sob’s out there. Some nights (like tonight, for instance) I get really annoyed at myself about this. I really really sometimes envy the folks who have a narrow focus, [...]

I admit, I am intrigued.

Printed a whole bunch of crap off the web today about starting up a web business… yeah, I’ve already technically *done* that, but as I’m putting together my business plan for expansion I’m finding myself repeatedly beating my head against imaginary walls. There’s just something about paperwork that gets under my skin in the most [...]

It seems like I very often start a nightly walking routine. I say ‘often’ because it hasn’t lasted long each time. But, I started again tonight, as well as held back on supper and apple pie a bit. (skipped the pie, salad instead of fries.)
I toyed with the idea of putting a weight/miles kind of [...]

Well, everything’s about to change, yet again. This time, though, I decided to screw the small steps.
I’m facing my second divorce, the lovely state of MI has decided that I can’t be a good parent to my kids, and my business has reached the point of diminishing returns and I can’t get a loan or [...]
