mission statement

so yeah, recently i watched jerry maguire again. a movie that starts off with a narrative. a mission statement that changed a mans whole life. he wanted to make his industry better. change the heart of it.

rock and roll is cool. working in production is awesome. but sometimes you come across professional practices that seem far less than professional. it bothers me. i strive to be so very professional and work so very hard but i find that so often i have to deal with attitudes and behaviors that are so much less than they should be.... in the workplace.

i want to write a mission statement like jerry... for rock and roll.

maybe when im not drinking.

rise and shine

so friday evening i took a shower, got dressed and headed out.... for the last time until today. as most everyone knows, virginia got pounded with snow late friday night and all day saturday. one foot of the crap. i had an excuse! i have been sitting inside ignoring hygene for 5 whole days. when i woke up this morning i could almost hear the sheets begging for me to bathe.

today is the day. i will shower, i will dress myself proper and i will go out in to the world. maybe.

right off the bat, i say things i shouldnt. i have no filter at all. i say what is on my mind and generally dont sugar coat it. bad bad bad move on so many levels in so many scenarios. as a result i generally have to deal with a primer period in all relationships in my life. pretty much everyone is insulted by or offended by or just taken off guard by me in the first few encounters. ive learned if they hang around long enough to get thru all of that initial shock, they like me and more often than not, end up appreciating being around a person who is honest. brutally at times.

i talk a lot. you dont even really have to get me going. i am self powered and provoked. that is not something that works with the issues from paragraph one very well. i grew up in a house with quite a few other very loud people. all very talkative. you know who you are and if you disagree, youre in denial. also, in my adult life i have learned that i value time alone. sometimes days at a time. you might be bumping into me after 4 solid days of hiding out in my room. you better bet your ass i will be ready to exercise my larynx.

ok, two facts about me have been revealed. put together... i am going to say what i think and i am going to do it often. another fact.... i am ultra opinionated and passionate about the things i like and dislike. i am a superlative. you may or may not be thinking "he sure is taking a long time to just admit he is an asshole" but thats totally what i am thinking.

im an asshole sometimes.

this blog started out wanting to go in a totally different direction. it got so far off topic after about the 3rd word that I am embarrassed to admit what it was going to be about. i guess my brain just wanted me to admit that i am kind of a selfish asshole sometimes. so there you have it. no big deal. im good. have a nice day.
