desperately seeking something
Ok i admit it, work has been stressfull lately. I'm in the ending days of a project that shouldnt have come together in the way it did but regardless we have to make it thru. Making it thru takes work. Its not easy to focus when you feel the endless rain ahead in yer mind. But Tuggernut doesnt let me wallow. She refuses my wallowness and urges me to press on so.. like always I do.
In pressing on I reflect on the weekend, what occured, what did I do? Saturday was massage day. HellzBellz hooked me up with a new massage contact so I gave it a whril. The result? I got foot massage, a unique pressure point massage, I got walked on.. haha yep and a pretty stress test on my arms, fingers etc. It was a mix thai massage with other various techniques. I was sore when i left which is odd really for a massage. But the following day, i felt soooo much better.. i still have a tint of it now, a feeling of ease, hard to explain, I want more. Saturday also brought a visit to Touch of Glass, gotta clean the mini ya know... then it was off to make tea. I keep mixing up strong tea combos at home.. this time though i ran outa mix, so i had to improvise.. i added some tazo chai.. ooo that hit the spot! Excellent idea.. need to experiment often. I had dinner with the folks and all seems to be goin well there. Father and I brainstormed together on a new project I hope to land next fall. I think it'll be really sweet. Talk to father on research ideas is great. Hes so wise and so alive when it comes to the aspects of research and how it should be done, why, and who can benefit from it.
Now this makes me wanna take a few steps back into friday where we had a friday forum session on early adopters. Who are early adpoters? Where do they come from? Demographicly where are they located? What do they do that makes them early adopters? Are they fixed by age, sex or income? It was a cool talk, lottta ideas thrown down in that session. It got me thinkin about all the odds and ends projects I need to do.. both work related and some clearly disconnecting and more personal.
I like that, ideas that spawn ideas than generate more ideas.
Sunday I drove around doing whatever, I just really wanted to drive. The mini was pristine and i wanted to drive drive drive.. no place in particular. Later in the afternoon I met up with my older brother Paul and did some boating. First boat curise of the year. It was a windy day, the water rough in some places and really high up over the their docks there at alum creek. Still a good run, got some sun but water was still a bit chilly.
I'm listening to a mix of Kill Bill soundtrack and various assorted acid jazz classics. Need to get that spirit up. This song in particular as i write this i cant help but smile to. Charlie Feathers - That Certain Female, what a classic song. Its perfect for film. Maybe Quenitn Terratio and I share that same gift of just knowing what song works with video. I've been creating ads on the fly in my head lately for MidWesternAuto group in my head for mini's. I just hear a song an know how the edit should work, on the fly in an instant its edited.. i see the whole ad in my head unfold as the song plays. I can see it, its that vivid. Maybe thats where i really need to be. Course at the end i need a logo or something i mean its not a music video, its an ad or promo piece so it needs mini or mag etc. Sometimes i think ya know i could storyboard this, shoot this, edit this, slap the logo on it and just give it to them.. maybe they'd use it as an in store promo. I miss that. I miss creating like that.
I seem to miss alot of things lately. As the work grind continues I yern more for what really delivers. Creation delivers. Passion on the doorstep that delivers. Cash? Yes i have to admit security does deliver... in most ways though it just further incases u in the box of debt, deliver, work it seems.
On the net life side of things lets see... I've been reading vc buzz lately... strangely curious i guess. The other day I was thinkin "i miss pea pod" someone deliver my groceries to me. Sadly Giant Eagle doesnt do that. Small biz who they are what they do.. always of interest to me.
This is a big week for me, if all goes the way it needs to go i'll have some real news next monday. Until then tune in for random dan awareness, keep those spirits high.
