Party was pretty awesome, just so you know.

We were at the Cadillac Lounge. Some country band was playin pretty loud. So we got to drinkin. And it was good.

Then the bar closed. So I bravely led a crew of dedicated party-goers to an after-hours club. I got us in without a membership... go figure. So we drank some more. And we didn't see the outside world until dawn had already began to bathe the world in its soft light.

Sunday (which had then felt like Monday) was relaxing. I didn't really sleep any. Instead I opted to do Em's laundry, snack out, and cat nap with Kumari (her cat). It was quite excellent.

Then today... work. Time actually flew by rather than dragged on. First time I actually didn't care or feel guilty for not caring to be there. I still wish things were going better at this job, but it's got a stale taste in my mouth. I know it's not going to go far and I know that my boss is what's really ruining it for me. I need to grow and expand and I feel like in almost I year I haven't moved (as far as career stuff goes).

Therefore, I've been brainstorming with a friend about starting up my own business. Maybe start going freelance again. Something to get me doing what I'm passionate about doing while giving me the room for potential beyond the limits of a "career."

This means I need a pretty slick website. Which I've been working on (somewhat) dilligently over the past few months. My current website could've been tres cool as far as design goes, but the layout seems to be too complex for many brosers and I haven't the heart or the energy to get it working across all the major browsers. I'm also looking more for a CMS to get me publishing right away rather than experimenting with reinventing the wheel. I'd rather be doing that on a side project than my main site.

Anyway -- it's the design that's killing me. I am torn between making it a site for my completely creative endeavours and making it a professional site for building a business around. Some days I'm leaning towards artsy while others I'm leaning towards professional. Being a person of such mixed and balanced tendancies seem to leave me indecisive. I keep changing my mind day to day.

I just know that if I go completely creative, my ideas are way edgy -- which might limit my potential client base and keep me from attracting more mainstream clients. While if I go completely professional, I'll be lacking an outlet for free expression and be tied to a brand.

I just feel a little internal conflict. One side wants complete edginess. While the other wants more professionalism. One wants pure creative firm. The other wants a consultancy. I'm on the path down the middle (as always) -- but am struggling a little.

If there are any ideas or words of encouragement -- what have you to say?
