intentions

  • i log on here everyday with full intentions of posting a new blog. but i read so many blogs during my time at work that i feel by the time i get here... i'm out of ideas, and that everyone else has way more important things to say. i feel like i am cluttering the space that could be used for better words and thoughts. but hell. i just feel like typing something so here it is. a bunch of rambling on... bare with me if you want.

this morning the first thing i did was watch the train wreck that is joaquin phoenix. i don't know if you had the pleasure of seeing the derailment but it was definitely worth the 10 minutes. i have never seen such an awkwardly ridiculous interview. it was insane. cbs has put a copyright on the video so the link is just snip-it. i would recommend trying to find the whole thing. 

so working for this security software company has been an interesting adventure. i have turned into a huge nerd who is afraid of surfing on the internet. i am afraid of catching a drive-by-download. i feel safe with my mac on my lap, but you know what, hackers are crazy. and with the recession, i don't see why there won't be more hackers trying to make a buck or two. it's a scary internet world, so this is my warning to you. be careful.

last week, i had the wonderful opportunity to experience some joyful sounds from james morrison at the paradise club in boston. he was great. he didn't perform too long, but i don't think he could have gone any longer, he was giving it his all. it was good. however, i have to say the highlight of this was his opener, erin mccarley. she is true beauty. we were situated on the side of the stage so we didn't have a great view of the front of the performers. so all i heard was her voice, but i think i enjoyed that better. i'm there to hear people sing, not look at them be pretty and sing. that's just too much. so when i got home that night, i looked her up, she is gorgeous and has a gorgeous voice... clearly, jealous and bitter towards her, but i like her. i recommend if you like pretty girls who can sing, to check her out. that being said, i really want to pursue some sort of singing gig. i sing all the time and i love to and i feel like i have a decent sounding voice and i love to perform. so i have my guitar up here and as soon as i bring it to the shop to get restrung and tuned, i will be back at it, learning the chords and getting reblistered. it's all for the best though. i am looking forward to this challenge. keep an eye out for me... ha.

i am working on trying to find an apartment to call my own. seeing as though i currently live with my sister and her family, i just feel as though it is time for me to be "on my own." so the apt. search has started and i am enjoying it. i am meeting a lot of interesting characters to put it nicely. i met with a girl yesterday and i can't tell you how many times she said she watched tv and that she loved tv. don't get me wrong... i enjoy leisurely tv, but when it takes over your life. it's time to think seriously about the situation. so i don't think that one will be a go. i went to check out another apt today and loved it. the people were great. the apartment was fun and close to everything i love and it was just a good vibe coming out of the walls. i like that feeling. 

  • sorry about the formatting. i got bored and thought it would be different....
