so i live with 1 plate, 4 glasses, 2 bowels

i do dishes often.

so i'm finally setting up a respectable system in our main concert hall. 6, Woodworx 15A, (it might be 8 if i can figure out some switch-a-roos) and 4, woodworx 18A all driven by 5, Crown k2. this could be our install system if i can figure out how to fly them. then all i would need are monitors and we would have a decent start on a system.

things that would have to get figured out:

ACOUSTICS!!!! it's a friggin box! with curtains! and huge metal duct work all over! angle me some walls please :(

wiring- needs an upgrade! proper patch bays, tie lines, snakes, MASS connects, speakon, and that's just the audio. the lighting is just as poor. the lighting needs an overhaul just as much as the audio does. no video or recording support.

processing - there is one reverb unit for all the venues! need to get a delay unit if everything is going to fly. the balcony will chop off the direct sound for the last rows. could use some compressors. oddly, we have a lot of graphic eqs.

mics. the most we could acceptably do is a k,s,OH bass, guitar and vocal. 57b and a few 58. there are a lot of wireless mics, but nobody who knows anything about them... again, call the expert, me.

oh, just a side note, a monitor console. ya know, just a side note.

gosh, amtrak sucks!

so i'm trying to go visit my sister in milwaukee. and i've always wanted to travel by train. well, to ride the amtrak, it would take 8+ hours to get to chicago. and then i would have to wait another day to get to milwaukee, or take the bus. WTF! you wanna know why nobody rides the train?! cause it sucks! it would cost $114 for the round trip to chicago, and then another $22 bucks for the 2nd day of my trip. the better put me up in some awesome bed just cause this blows. but i don't think i'm going to take the train that far. it's only $137 for a round trip from KC to MIL on northwest or something like that. and it would only take 1.5 hours. ftw

ALSO, pt 2 of the rant. so to take the train to kansas city, it's not a bad deal. about $24-28 for a round trip. it gets there at 2, leaves at 8. so that gives me about 6 hours of bird watching time. not bad. but if i want to take my bike with me, it costs another $10! WHy? do? you? torture? me? pissing me off. why do bikes costs more? i mean, it's freaking mass transit. i would think that you would want people to take their bikes on the train.

whey don't you let me know?

we had pictures done today for the union staff. had to wear a suit. and i shaved. yup. i really need to find something else to keep me entertained. i'm getting bored. very much so.

bought a lawn mower and a trimmer this past week, along with some other plants. they are in the ground.

looking to buy a couch.

it's cold here.

so the past few days i've maybe stepped on a few people's toes with out meaning too. but one boss really has been encouraging me to be myself. she's had some good feedback from people about interacting with me. so it pushes me to continue to keep pushing the envelope. i just hope it doesn't offend too many people. as long as i can stay mildly amusing and not too annoying, it will be good. i got to keep learning these fine lines for everyone. some sheeple don't understand some of my basic jokes. others have really been able to smile.

a week ago or something, i got into this verbal spat with one of these girls. i don't know if i told you this, but i dominated, and she didn't like it. well, it was one of those things about how i didn't know anything and i turned it around and she ended up looking like she didn't know anything. anyway, she's been really nice ever since then, but at the same time dropping hints like 'do you know how big my husband is?' no, and i don't care. also, oh, your probation period is almost up and then you'll won't be able to blame it on being new. yadda yadda. she gets on a lot of people's nerves.

have a GREAT day

i bring the storm king

well shit,

today i listen to chick corea. from about 3 to 9 today. i only skipped about 3 songs, which is a record for me. i was floored! a lot of talent and wonderful sounds. now i'm listening to bob james. more of a funk flavored jazz. delicious

so if i had to predict i would be were i am 3 year ago, i probably would have kicked myself. dumbass didn't major in computer science. look where that gets you! shoulda done it. or minored.

this past week has been a sad reflective week. the end of my nashville chapter. probably one of the better chapters in my life thus far. the friends i had and the people i met. along with the places i worked and the experiences i experienced. i would say it probably was better than nwc. one, cause it didn't end so shitty. and memories were sweeter.

t'row is milan's birthday. he'll be 18.

i remember when

i slept from 9:30 to 11. 11:30 to 3 5:30 to 6.

gosh.


gnarls barkley= my favorite band right now

things that keep me up at night-le job and girls. prolly not in that order.

i've been thinking about starting an audio consulting service.

work starts at 10.

everybody loves everybody these days

what would i do if i could not fail?


i would ask for love. and hugs. i would ask for answers to questions i've carried. why did you cheat on me?

why did we never say what we were feeling?

i would carry the world on my shoulders, i would take away famine, but not hunger. i would take away the despair, unjustice. i would leave hurt, and anger, but strike away agony.

i would require honesty and stillness. weeks would only have 4 working days. tomorrow would not make plans for itself.

i would ban the words forever and life sentences.

scientists would govern, and philosophers would be CEOs, and politicians would be chosen randomly.

jails would not have bars, and police would not carry guns.

long haired freaky people would be encouraged to apply.

this country beats france

sad day.

someone asked me if i was happy with my job. i don't know if i've been indoctrinated by media, but i said no. no person is happy with their job i've been led to believe.

i was interested in this girl. she had many qualities i've looked for, and i've gotten lost in her eyes before. and adored what she stood for, and the things she worked towards. i liked her long brown hair and her beautiful smile. the way she said my name. i would look forward to it.

now i don't. we will be friends, but i don't think i will push it as hard as i did. i thought i wanted to get to know more about her and let her know more about me. as i have done this, i have realized there are things that i can't agree with. i think i raised my expectations as she grew closer and they didn't correlate with each other.





it could just be that i'm scared of rejection and jealousy.
