So I have to be honest, it’s a slow day at work and seeing as I have less than 2 hours left, I don’t feel like doing anything that I should, so I thought I’d sit down and ramble for a little while about things that have been on my mind.
It’s almost September and guess what? I’ve been at mom’s for over a year since the split. It hasn’t been too bad. The being single thing kinda blows at times but as my good friend Mike put it, it takes time to heal after a bad split. So I’m giving myself that time. Besides, living at mom’s has given me an opportunity to do some things that I wouldn’t have had the chance to. I mean, yeah ok, someone my age living at home can seem a bit lame but hell, it ain’t such a bad thing considering the fact that I have goals and things I want to accomplish by being here. I already figured out that by staying here until this time next year, I’ll be debt free. DEBT FREE! The credit card, loan, and other crap debt I accumulated while I was married, along with my student loans, will all be completely paid off. That’s a hell of a good reason to stick around where I’m at. Plus, if I do decide to go for the eye surgery, now would be the time.
I’ve pondered the idea of actually buying a house late next year. I guess it all depends on when exactly all the debt is totally paid. I could take a few months and save for a down payment then go get a place. But then I thought a bit more about it and realized that if I stayed at mom’s another year, I could take the extra money and save all of it for a good down payment on a house and buy some new furniture. I could probably save around 10k in a year and who knows what else might come up in that time.
Anyway, the thought of owning a home down the road is very appealing. Whether I’m at mom’s another year or two doesn’t bother me much when I think of the long term goals. I’m not really relying on anyone but myself to make these things happen. I guess that’s what makes it even more special is the fact that I know I can do this with no one’s real help. Regardless, it is an awesome goal to aim for.
So what else is there. Well, I have a project for Tormented that the guys don’t know about yet. I’m producing something for them that I hope to release next year. It’s sort of a BIG project and I’m not discussing it with them in case I have to put it on hold. It’s going to require a LOT of time and effort but since the odds of the band ever being together again are slim to none, this will be the cherry on top of the Paramount show to put it all together. I hope the guys like it!
Another thing I am working on is a complete overhaul of this site. One of the hardest things to do is to redesign an existing site to contain some of the same materials but in a new look & format. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts on it, I’d love to hear from you. I think a big part of the reason to want to change the site is that I’d like a more modern and professional look to the site. Yeah, ok it’s blog based and is mostly for me and people that want to keep up on my useless rants and ravings. But it’s still me and my stuff and I want to have something that looks cool and people will enjoy. Plus, I’d like to remove some of the old useless crap that is just collecting virtual dust. I have a pile of webspace but I don’t want to go overboard on it ya know?
Be afraid, I’m listening to Poison right now. Rock on 80’s glam!
On that note, I’ll leave this rant and go do something unconstructive.
So there, I’ve had my say
