Fuck reasons I suppose I have enough time to be on here as I do everything else. Crises of time and conflicts of how to spend it will always be here.
I cant believe that I have a full-time job and command a very decent salary, and it still isnt enough. I have to find a part-time job for nights and weekends. The most logical thing to do is to start DJing again, but I dont think that I have the time or the motivation to promote my own party now that Im working again. I also cant be staying out massively late on weeknights anymore, either. Id like to jump in on somebody elses action, but thats really not up to me. Guess Ill keep looking.
The other course of action is to find writing work. Ive been digging around and finding some more tech writing opportunities, which I only hope I can swing on a part-time, telecommuting basis. Not sure how writing manuals all day, then coming home and writing more manuals at night is going to go over, but heres hoping I wont go too crazy. Being able to pay all of my bills and actually save some money for a change would be great.
Hey, if any of you were thinking about starting a record label, I gotta say: stop. Rethink. Dont do it. You are looking at a world of sorrow and stress.
Lets see what else. Tonight I am supposed to be doing a bunch of label stuff but I will probably just wake up super early and do it then. I got a lot of hateful bills I cant pay right now in the mail today, but I also got two packages one with some new records I got to review which are OK (from the fantastically cranky S-S Records of Sacramento), and another a prize package I won from the Jackie Farry Fuck Cancer auction. I ended up with all this Quintron stuff, which was the best surprise and kind of made my day. Two LPs, both autographed, two 8x10 glossies of Mr. Quintron and Miss Pussycat (ditto), the Drum Buddy video and a fucking Drum Buddy belt buckle! Im also going to Jackies benefit concert at the Bowery tomorrow night and am way stoked to see Quintron live, as well as fucking CHAVEZ, who I was too young to see when they came through Pittsburgh and played all the bars back in the mid 90s. Cat Power and the Blues Explosion and a bunch more are playing, but thats not as interesting to me. Jackies got cancer and thats a shit situation, and she is a very cool person and is fighting hard and helping out other young women in her position as well. So go visit her at www.jackiefarry.com.
I embarrassed myself in front of a friend Saturday night. To her I would say dont kiss me if you dont want me to kiss you back but I still feel pretty bad. Saw a lot of people I never see anymore, and was piss drunk to ensure that my behavior was no less than appalling, and will give them things to talk about for months. It was the first time I ran into a certain other friend who has become famous in quite some time, and I got a pretty cold reception, which I didnt expect nor appreciate. But whatever, everybody has an off night.
Worst thing was waking up hungover on my couch at 2pm, fully dressed, contacts in, lights on, TV on full blast and showing that shitty Hulk movie from last year. Pretty much the last way you wanna wake up hung over seeing a grown man shriek and cry.

Yes, it sucks doing what I have to do, but I'm not able or even willing to give up what I have, because it's what I have. This is where I am, and no I am not in too much trouble, nothing I can't get out of. Getting resourceful can be fun sometimes.
Good morning!
