Ball and a biscuit
So while my corporate-whore job prospects seem to be bleak, my outside, fulfilling, artistic prospects seem to be looking up. But that's how things always go, don't they? Peaks and ditches.
THe client I'm working on does background checks on their contractors and while I knew that going back into it, I also knew I have no convictions on my record. However, when HR found out of my current standings, they contacted me and said I needed to get off the client, the Director knows and so does the Partner and it's causing alot of worry. So I was to be out of the equation. So after telling my bosses in secret about why I was leaving I then had to meet with the Director to discuss and give some face time to the Partner at a Happy hour (irony??)
And WHO KNEW that having 4 new charges on my criminal record would result in them telling me what a Great job I was doing and how much potential and what a "stellar" work ethic I have. So this whole fiasco results in me getting MORE responsibility (at another client, of course) and showered with praise.
OK, enough with the work talk. I'm breaking one of my own cardinal rules. But you have to admit, even with all that soulless business speak, it still involved breaking the law and stickin it to the man.
So I'm really excited about the things that make me enjoy life upcoming: art stuff. I've decided to expand my creative reach by making a video for 2 of my songs and posting them on YouTube. One for "The Jolley Trolley Pants Dance" and one for "I Love You.....Get Tested". And I've got really great ideas/concepts for both of them:
For JTPD I'm going to take footage of my friend John dancing in front Various locations (White House, Monument, in front of a conveinent store as people go in and out, on a bed with a girl lying down looking really annoyed that he'd rather do the pants dance than bone, etc.)
The other will for Get Tested I will play the slow, "love" part of the song cutting between video of my mouth singing into a mic (in B&W) and videos of a girl that looks like it was taken in the first few months of a very loving relationship. Then my mouth slowly starts to grow sores around it and the chick gets shocked when i tell her to get tested. Then it goes into hyper-drive of Karate, Biohazard sign on lady crotch, tentacles coming out of girl's mouth, time-lapse of a hot dog getting gange-green, etc.
After AROOOOOGA's crushing rejection, I've manage to book CATHOLICISMWOW for the shoot. Collabos, children. Collabos.
I'm also recording a song whose melody came from one friend and I crafted the most rockingest music (since back in the Subtle Funk days) to go with it and I will have the BASSGOD from that band do the bass for it. Collabo. Collabo.
Rosa is also going be hosting regular Wednesday "talent shows" at some club in DC, for which I will be gracing the stage with my incredible music and witty transitions.
I also get my lisence back on Saturday, just in time to go to:
Tool (that day)
Say Anything (in October)
PRIMUS (early Nov)
All American Rejects (mid Nov.)
Rolling Stones (in VEGAS, in Nov.)
Oh, and also my cousin is finally getting out of Germany and coming to MD/DC for us to move into a house together. He'll be here Oct. 12th.
So this week I'll stop drinking and try to get back to normal health (although I'm really going to have to see a doctor anyways. I let it go too long).
Did I leave anything out??
Oh right: Eat me.
