Why is it when im trying to make my epic internet comeback… you gotta go and say stuff like…. We’ll see how long it lasts? Huh? Huh?

I’m just kidding Magda… you know I love you!

It’s Tuesday… The last week of 2010!
Lots of epicness going on with work. I’m in the process of reeling in a pretty large client that will increase our workload by about 50%. We are also gearing up to do one of our high profile jobs that we handle once a year… Stress levels are usually pretty high around this time, but seeing as how last last year was pretty cake in general, everyone here could use a slap in the face to bring them back to reality.
I’ve also been working with my new sales guy that I hired almost 3 months ago on getting all of out marketing materials together… I’m finally seeing the light at the end of that tunnel, and feeling pretty confident that we will be ready to rock and roll by the end of March.

What is it we do here??? I’ll get into that in the future…
2010 is for the children!

What’s new?
I have a crap load of internet projects I’m working on along with trying to grow business at the day job. The cool thing is, a lot of the projects intertwine with my day to day dealings putting things into a ‘one hand washes the other’ type of situation. I’m sure I’ll go into greater detail about these projects as time goes on.
I’ve purchase my own hosting space, so I’ll probably be moving this pig off of the WP servers and getting some custom page action soon.

Time for some work!

Duces!

Alcoholism is a MotherFucker!

I’ll keep it short… I’m a PC guy (more like 50/50 now)… I bought a 2TB hard drive maybe about 1.5 years ago so I could back up all that is dear to me. First think I did was to format the drive using NTFS rather than FAT32 because of the added security options. Well… after backing up a bunch of crap an my laptop, I get home and find out; native, the Mac OS does not support NTFS… so I had to purchase software to read the drive.

When it comes to backing up my memory cards, I have always connected everything to my ThinkPad and used a piece of software called Beyond Compare to copy the data to the drive. Well… there were a few times I left my ThinkPad at work and needed to clear a card, so I used my MacBook to do it… looking through the drive today I noticed about 1300 0k files.. The NTFS for Mac software is flawed….

The kinda good news is, I use a Western digital Passport as a go-between sometimes when I don’t have my monster drive available… I still had about 1000 of the missing photos on that drive… so I only lost ~240 pics. I’m not 100% sure what they were… but I really don’t want to know…

I currently own a Smart Phone that runs Windows Mobile 6.1. Every application that I have installed, and every file that I have downloaded, when given the option, I save to my 2Gig Micro SD card. none the less, I have completely run out of space in the main section of memory. I went to the ‘remove applications’ utility and it is absolutely empty… I then went to the memory manager where it shows me that I have 0.0K available… There is a link to a search program that allows you to find large files on your device so that you may free up space… so I do this and arrange the data by size, and the only option you have from this point is to open the file… So Microsoft… My question to you is… WHAT GOOD IS THIS FUCKING SEARCH IF YOU DO NOT ALLOW ME TO DELETE OR EVEN SEE THE PATH OF WHERE THE FILES ARE????

Fuck!

Sooo…. the snow is …. for the most part (fingers crossed) gone, and with the warmer weather comes the motivation fro me to, excuse the term, Bust out the camera!
A few weeks back (4-4-9) ?uestLove was in town for an event called the Miltown Beatdown, and as a side gig was booked to do a set at Apartment 720 after. Me being the RawkStar that I am, rolled up into the DJ booth while he was doing his after set to take some pictures. The next morning I started sifting through thumbnails of the shots I took, and as I’d see one I liked, I’d open it up for further review. I drag four fingers down on the track pad (exposé on the new macbook… and for all you PC folk out there… exposes all open windows by shrinking and tiling them on the screen)… ‘I stood in the same corner and used a fixed lens… wonder if I can…’

It’s a bit random… but that’s how I get down…

Looks like I ended things with… 2008 was a shitty year! My feelings about that 3 moths later are still the same… 08 sucked monkey balls!

First things first… My 10 year High School Reunion was 2 weeks ago… and I must admit, through all of the ups and downs of the planning stage and having to work with 6 very different personalities, the end result made everything worth it. The weekend turned out to be a much greater success than I ever could have anticipated (after reality hit me during the planning stages ). The thrill of success touched me so much, that I immediately started planning the first of hopefully many alumni summer barbecues.

I’m still trying to kick things up a notch at work… but it just seems like I am spinning my wheels. The current financial “situation” I’m sure does nothing to help, but it just seems like the entire industry that surrounds my wish list of things to get done is just in slow motion… Realistically… I think I just need to be a bit more consistent with cracking the whip! Another thing to add to my list.

This post makes absolutely no sense!

Friday was the first day of Spring!
Along with the budding flowers and trees, the melting snow and the flooding basements, is the return of a part of me that seems to die every winter… the creative part. Now if I can only get caught up with all of the yard work, house work, and maintenance that needs to be done on my investment properties… I might find some time to take advantage if this.

…. Fact… This time could be better spent!

More from me soon.

Drink ‘n Pwn, Class Reunion, and experimental promoting/marketing with all of the above and some clubs/bars and my business… That what’s going on… and as you can see… my blog and flickr get neglected.

Drink ‘n Pwn is one of the projects I am extremely excited about because… I know it’s a great idea, and I cant wait for it to catch on… Plus… I personally just want to get out from time to time and kill some brews with the hommies over a few games of Mario Party. Check it out @ www.drinknpwn.com for more info.

The class reunion is going well, I’m really happy that everyone stepped up and is motivated to get this finalized. If it wasn’t for the rest of the committee… I would be pulling my hair out right about now, and going crazy from a lack of sleep. Thanks guys!

Goodbye 2008!!!
What a shitty fuckin year!
That’s all I have to say about that.

2009 should go well! I’m starting off the year in Mexico, and will come right back into the finalization stages all of the projects I worked hard to setup during the end of 08… The money should come next.

Happy New Year everybody!
Be safe and talk to you soon!

Make sure you get up, get out, and do it!
