I woke up today...

...and at the age of 42 (my b-day was just yesterday), I am officially without a job.
Well, not exactly official yet - as they are paying my through March 15th - but close enough.
Some irons in the fire, pots on the stove (what other cliches can I use?)...just nothing done quite yet. Looking, and focusing on, the positive side of this, I'm guessing there are alot of opportunities out there...but what do I really want to do? To make it simple - become famous. Yeah, famous. Why not? Everyone else seems to be these days. Must be easy - right? Or just lucky? Nah, fuck that - it takes work. And I'm willing to work.
Music - I like music.
Food - I like to eat.
Can I combine the two?
Maybe...we'll see.
I'll start with the music first - my first love. DJ'ing seems to be a good possibility. I could podcast, I could apply for a spot on an internet radio station, I could talk to people in the satellite radio industry...OK, those are good places to start.
I'm finally taking the leap into the world of Macintosh (or do they like to known as Apple?)...I'm buying a used Powerbook - totally tweaked out, and ready to roll, spin, burn, mix, 'cast.

Stay tuned.
Peace out.

the pressures of the world...

Yeah...
I like using that - the "..." that is.
Dramatic pause.
You know, like not posting here since December.
It's a new year - is there a new ME? Or just the old me that has not fully evolved or simply has been suppressed by me somehow?
Being in a job transition phase has left me, at times, feeling many different emotions.
Finally going to therapy is helping me along the journey, but there hasn't been as many revelations as I was expecting. Then again, that seems an apt metaphor for life in general - a lot of basic shit with a sprinkle of excitement now and then - if your lucky...or if you let it in.
That appears to be a habit of mine - not letting stuff in, not dealing directly with issues, putting things off...gotta follow through. I'm working on it.

Been listening to alot of the shows on East Village Radio recently - I think I'm going to put a playlist together and send it in along with their questionnaire...who knows, maybe I'll get lucky.

It looks like the wife may be appearing on that 30 Days show - more to come on that later (when it happens...I'm staying positive). I knew she'd be famous one day.

Peace...out...later,
