Okay so I haven't posted anything in a long time. I've been busy but also just lazy. Really not much has happened to talk about. Basically I get up, have my coffee or tea, get ready for work, ride the train which can be fun or very annoying, buy my coffee from the shop by the train stop and then walk to work, be more annoyed, leave work, go home, and wash, rinse, repeat. Basically that is it in a nut shell.
Okay where to start. Have to go look at my pictures and see where I've been. Well money has been a problem over the last month. Seems like i get paid then the next thing I've either spent to much or after bills and food and all the living expense I'm back to zero. Its not all that bad but it can go fast.
The job has been good. I've learned a lot but I really miss being creative. And I'm getting a little tired of everyone coming up to me with all their problems that really they should know how to do. Computer problems are the worst. I mean come on. The personal computer has been around for a long time now and people should know how to fix even the smallest problem but then I guess since I grew up in the start of the digital age I must take it for granted. To me its really simple and just basic troubleshooting but really sometimes I just wonder if they are just lazy and don't want to know how to fix it and just have someone else deal with it. Like this stupid video distribution system we have. I have no clue how it all works but somehow I'm suppose to be the master of it now. And I'm trying really trying to understand it and make it work but sometimes when something is broke its almost a waste of resources trying to fix it.
Okay enough bitching...for now. Lets see what else....well I got to encode these videos to Quicktime for Jennifer Garner personally downloaded of her PSA spot she did to stop Influenza. That was fun. To bad I didn't get to meet her or anything.Me and Matt went down to the lake one day and took pictures. That was fun.
Just not much to talk about so I guess lets talk about the future.

Well I've really got the bug about freelancing. I've been talking to my friend Brian back home and seeing all the guys at work who freelance it really got me started to look at what I really want to do with my life. I want to be creative and do what I used to do back in Oklahoma. I'm not doing anything of that since I've been here. So I've started looking for more work and instead of thinking about it and not even trying to get the job I've emailed every lead. There is this band that needs someone to edit their music video. They don't have a lot of money but I applied and sent them my information and maybe I'll hear from them. That would be fun cause I loved doing that for the girls and their band. There was also this crew call for some indy film in October that I emailed the contact that could also be some fun. But that is basically what I've decided its about time to do. Its not going to fall in my lap. My job right now is okay and I like my coworkers and there are opportunities coming up that could be awesome but I feel like I'm stuck and someone else is deciding how far I go or something. I also feel like I'm not getting the most out of it in regards of pay. Not that money is everything but when I feel like they are leaning on me for so much more than what was in the job description and I'm not getting anything out of it. I mean come on. I'm 30 years old with over 7 years of experience and I swear I'm probably not making more than this just out of college no experience music major we have at work doing basically the same job as me.
Okay well that's my update for now. I know i should write more about my goings on then it wouldn't be so hard trying to remember stuff from a month ago. Okay well guess that's it for now. So I leave off with a favorite quote of mine.

your life sounds like mine right now - wake up, take the train to work, have coffee, spend the day annoyed that i'm not doing what i want to be doing, surf mandy.com looking for leads, worry about what my boss will say if i actually get a cool job, go home.
Let's start a production company. (if only we lived in the same city)
