Summer is coming fast and I think it might pass me by
Things I've been up to.
1) WORKING!!!
2) Getting everything squared away within our ability to do so event/party wise.
3) PSO = Crack
4) Rediscovering music
5) Cooping/dealing/healing with life as it plays itself out
1 - So work has been super duper crazy busy. This is technically our busy season. With so many projects going on at work I've been feeling swamped at times, but so far I'm still staying afloat. Then we got a bomb dropped on us yesterday. One of our managers (who has been with the company for some 16 odd years) got let go. Normally it wouldn't phase me much except for the fact that he was one of the main "glues" that held the department together. As ever we will get through it somehow, but it will be rough I know for sure.
2 - Planning the up coming events for a while was starting to be a hassle I really wasn't wanting to get back into. I loss the motivation/drive to be really commited to it the way I need to be or wanted to be. Well slowly its been coming back to me. The reasons why I've wanted to do this. So for now its full steam ahead. We should have one medium size event to start the summer. Then we are trying to set-up a new weekly event for the summer and beyond. Then we have two large events planned, one for the middle of July and one for the end of summer. Should be crazy and fun too.
3 - Been playing PSO (Phantasy Star Online for XBOX) so much fun and quite addictive. It passes the time and lets me escape for a bit from whatever is in my head.
4 - I've been slacking on finding new music and not appreciating the music that I do have. Glimpsing the possible possible. New stuff that I'm discovering and old stuff that I'm reabsorbing.
Elbow - Powder Blue, Everything but the Girl , Massive Attack, DJ Krush, Kraftwerk, Land of the Loops. Some mixes made by K-ing, Seeko, and Loficer. Plus of course a bunch of white labels.
That's just the tip of that iceberg though. I think that to much people treat their music like something that's just in the background. Unfortunately I can be guilty of that also at times too. I've been trying to come up with a new set/mix for a little debut I have planned later.
5 - This has been one of the main reasons for the lack of motivation. For a while I put everything else on pause to take care of this. Well it seemed to be not making much a difference. So I think I finally have come to a conclusion for it. Time will of course be the great answer, but I guess it is the end of it also.
