An update about the last month.


Well I'm going to try and remember some of the stuff that has happened over the past month. I started going through pictures and after figured I could update this blog. Okay where to start.

Well my friend Glenn and his wife Amy came up for a Bears game with some family members. So I joined them on Saturday to hang with them downtown. I remember that it wasn't a very warm day and since their train didn't get here till about 3:30 it was already past the warmest part of the day. I met them down at Union Station and we headed around downtown. Glenn is a good friend of mine from the Crispy's Days. He was my boss in fact when I worked there. Its cool that after all this time we still keep in touch. We'll hell Crispy's kind of became an extended family of mine. Made many friends from that place.

We'll it was a fun time and later that night we went to this blues club called...Blues. Chico Bank's was playing and Glenn really likes them. Their from Chicago and plus the cover was much cheaper than the other Blues club we went to. Over all it was a very fun night and great to have friends in town to hang with. I met up with them on Monday again and we had lunch at the Navy Pier but that day turned out to be a hellish day at work and well that was the day I left Teletech. Anyway.

The sunday before my last day at Teletech the girls below us had a BBQ and we went and met a lot of their friends and had good food. What was more fun when the sun went down we lit a fire in our backyard and had smores and just drank and talked. It was really really fun. Plus there was this really cute guy that lives down the street from us. I can't remember his name its been so long. But anyway he was really cool and I guess he's an accountant with a really buzzed haircut. Funny how it seems I go for that type of guy. The bald accountant type. e.g. Brad..lol.

Anywho. So after that night the whole Teletech thing happened and then i was pretty much not employed anymore. I've been working on my website and trying to get some freelance work while I'm looking for something more permanent. Its been going well but I just need to keep looking and find something soon.

Since then I've done some odd jobs. Like a focus group for Taco Bell with some new menu items. I started going to this networking group called Chicago Independent Artist Network that I'm really excited about. They are a group of artist, produces, independent film makers, video editors, you name it. And the whole focus of the group is helping everyone out, networking, passing out information about upcoming film festivals, jobs, etc. So every first and third Wednesday I go and I'm really excited about it. Very nice people there.

The a few weekends ago Gloria and Andy where here. Gloria used to work at PDC with me and Andy is her husband that used to be Norman's City Manager. Now they live in Bend, Oregon and were in town with some friends of theirs from Sweden. Guess their friend used to be the defense minster or something of Sweden and was getting an award. I'm not exactly sure but he was some sort of dignitary. But we got to hang out with G. Wish we had taken some pictures but didn't.

Then that is pretty much it. Not sure what is going on this weekend. I've been working on a project today and not that its after 5 I'm going to render a test run and call it a day. Oh and I go home in two weeks. Very excited about that. So keep looking sometime at the end of the month for pics about that.

Oh and my usually random Train pic. Later!

me: okay, well I'm going to mess with a few ideas. Want to get something
going cause I don't even have any idea of a logo or how I want to present
myself. I can't just write in big bold fonts "Kaaa-KAAAA!"
Matt: oh yes you can
me: Maybe i could put that in tiny print or something

retard fuckers who can't see freaking colors. Retards

A Day in the life of me.


Just a little video inspired by Maggie's Dance video. My camera phone sucks and doesn't have enough memory so its just a collection of what I could do with my walk home one day. Oh well.
