Me (7)

I was re-made aware of the infamous line from Fight Club the other day in a discussion, but it wasn't related to what this post is about. But yet it is. The context of the source conversation was in the more Fight Club-ish context about material possessions, social status, et al. But there's definitely a positive and necessary need for self-improvement. Improvement in your job, in your relationships (creating a more healthy environment), improvement in your hobbies, and improving your physical health (and mental health, I'd say). It's important to life to seek improvement in these core components of one's life. So, what am I doing to improve myself?

Hey guys, I'm terribly sorry for the lack of updates here... Life has been hectic, finding a job has been depressingly futile for the most part, and I've been hooked on Call of Duty 4. Yeah. Fun. Just been doing other stuff, I guess...

My band, Low Flyer, is playing The Boardwalk tonight in Orangevale, and as a result, I've been in a mad obsession of promoting. Myspace, Twitter, Fubar, Facebook, you name it, I've been pimping on it.

My wife has been trying to get an idea for a site off the ground for about three or four years now. For various reasons, it's failed before getting any real progress made every attempt before. However now, things are rolling along fairly smoothly!

She's had an idea for this dating site for a long while, and until it's ready to go live, will remain nameless (and linkless). But let's just say that it's a bit of an "extreme" social environment, and probably not too terribly safe for work. Or at least it won't be.

Since September of 2007, I've been one of two tech support agents for a company called Mad Dog Multimedia. MDMM didn't hire directly for their stuff, they hired logistics companies to do the dirty work, and so I was contracted through a temp agency to one of these companies (which will remain anonymous).

Through several months of poor business management and the inability to execute the business properly, we suffered through dozens of angry pissed off customers, threatened legal actions, and just a lot of general unpleasantries. Yet we persevered, trying to make things right...

We didn't play. Lame. Not because we didn't go, which we did. Not because we didn't feel like it, we wanted to. However, there was just a shitstorm of miscommunication that contributed to everyone getting fucked over... We didn't even know if any other bands were playing. Had no clue. Didn't know what time we were supposed to play, although we had to be there by 7:30.

We were then told that MonTana (Sith Entertainment, the girl that booked us) was going to be there at 8:30pm, and was also supposed to be our door person.

So we've got a pretty last-minute show going on at Rebounds, out in Rocklin (www.reboundspub.com), so if anyone's interested, check it out. We're going on some time after 8p. More details to be posted on my Twitter as I get them (www.twitter.com/tf5_bassist).
