Musings of a Crackpot

I was commanded to post this (by beca):

Respond with your name and I will tell you the following random things about you…

I’ll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
I’ll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
I’ll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
I’ll tell you my first memory of you.
I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
I’ll ask you something that I’ve always wondered about you.

If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written and you can’t break written rules.

I just really wish that i could get all this moving details out of the way….I need to find a home but i don’t want to settle for some crappy place or over pay for some decent place. In addtion part of me wants to live near the beach. I wish that i had deeper pockets and could travel out before i move and scope around better….Basically i just want to get out there and start this next phase, i’m so excited about the new job and the new location…i just dread all these details that cause me to worry and stress..

Everyone circle the date on their calendars!! Today is the day that i finally got off the hamster wheel and started taking steps towards the next phase of my life! I was offered the job that i mentioned before, and i am taking it! Santa Ctuz here i come…i’m unbelievable excited about this decision on so many levels. Someone actually wants me to work for them, and are willing to pay me some decent money to do so. I get to move out west which is where i’ve been trying to get to since the first time i stepped off a plane in southern california years ago. I’m supposed to start working on August the 29th, which means that i have little over a month to figure out all those minor details…like finding a place to live, moving across the country…you know the small things like that:-) It doesn’t even matter, i have great family and friends, i’ll figure it all out. I’m am soooooooo excited!!!!!!

First steps:

Eat dinner, then start finding housing…it’s going to be a long night;-)

I’m excited!!….insanely so! I just got off the phone after interviewing for a new job as a flash developer for a company based out of santa cruz, ca. I think that i nailed the interview! The dude interviewing me seemed really interested in hiring me and getting me out there as soon as possible….like maybe by the end of august-soon. I hope that i don’t jinx myself talking about it thou. I’m supposed to hear back from them by the end of the week one way or the other. Maybe i’ll finally get off the hamster wheel that i’ve felt like i’ve been on lately and take that next big step in life. Woohoo i didn’t blow it!! more to come more to come..

artistic genius - fucked up person….i wonder just how often those two phrases end up going together. Currently, I speak about the one, the only (thank goodness), R. Kelly. As some of you might know, he has recently released a new CD out called TP3:Reloaded. On this CD is a collection of 5 songs, which tell a story. Titled “Trapped in the Closet Chapter 1- 5″, Kelly tells an amazing story, it’s been labelled an ‘urban operetta’ and I think that’s a very apparent description . I first heard part 4 of the series as i headed home for my mom’s birthday, at the time i didn’t know that there were 5 parts. I was in awe of how R.Kelly has the ability to really just tell a story, at times he’s just a modern day story-teller that’s masquerating as a musician. It’s an amazing gift. And like any skilled artist, he has a vision of his story, however unlike most he has the ability to share this vision and does so with a 5 part video, that can watched at his website. I suggest everyone go and watch it, even if you don’t like R. Kelly or his music, it’s worth it just to see and hear a quality story being told. Well that’s my music rant for the day…off to write some code and probably listen to even more music
