Sitting here at work, bored out of my skull. It's been soooooo quiet today. At least I've been able to get some paperwork done. I know my GM would say "Call all of your accounts! Make them buy something!". Maybe he's comfortable with that, but in my experience, it rarely actually leads to any real sales ( Read more... )

Stream of consiousness

Volutone thoughts, part 1

I am not a Volutone career man. I have never planned to be, nor do I plan to be in the future. When I hired in, it was under the management and tutelage of Bruce Vann, then manager of Santa Clara. I was ecstatic to get the job.. I even dressed up for the interview in a ( Read more... )

I have an experience to share with you all. This deals with car stereo installation shops.

There are a lot of them. In fact, there's one right around the corner from my place, that actually came highly recommended. They do work for several of the auto dealerships in the area, and it is there that I had my windows tinted.  I decided to invest in a ( Read more... )

Last night, I met a childhood hero. I shook hands with Nobuo Uematsu.

As the Distant Worlds concert series finally came to San Francisco, I got to hear the music of the Final Fantasy games performed live by one of the finest orchestras in America. Even though I know the music inside and out, it was a real treat to hear it played live, surrounded by ( Read more... )

So it seems like the overwhelming consensus from my last post comes to "Do it you idiot!!!"

So today, I purchased the ticket. I'm-a goin' to the party y'all!!

Pictures will be forthcoming. Please, Torrent, don't kill me. And please, White_Wer, don't hurt Clyde!!! :)

So next month, I will be attending the Distant Worlds: Final Fantasy concert in San Francisco. I have been wanting to see this concert for years now, ever since they first began the series several years ago. I am extremely excited to go see this, and listen to it live, even though there will be little in terms of new material; I already know all of ( Read more... )

Back in the snowy winters of 1997, in the outskirts of Toronto, I met a wonderful person: Furp. Great sense of humor, warm, kind, and good-looking as hell, I spent a weekend with him, Dracon and Chronos. We all spent the weekend, hanging out and doing whatever, had a wonderful time. I even drew a couple of dragons having wild gay sex on his back in ( Read more... )

Today I've begun the process of making an appointment to see a psychologist. Lately, I have been feeling a great deal of stress, and I feel I need a stranger to talk to and blow off some steam. Work has been hell... loads of stress caused by corporate BS, pressure from customers, upper management and co-workers ( Read more... )

Now that the election is over for 2008, it is as one more chapter of American history has been finished, with another just starting. It is indeed a historic election, representing a new age not only for our country, but for the world, as a black man has been elected US President for the first time in history. To me, this signals a major shift in ( Read more... )

Greetings all! The CD my band, the Ohlone Wind Orchestra, has worked on with trumpet player Mike Vax has just been released! Available from Summit Records, the CD, "Vaxuosity", features Mike performing alongside my band, with whom I play percussion. It is conceived as a "summer concert in the park" kind of experience, with a varied program ( Read more... )
