hiatus

Blog’s going to be down for up to a couple days. But like a Pheonix I’m planning to rise from the ashes at a new URL. Yup, bookmark Waking-Dream.com. Which is all good as I’ll be able to do all the stuff there that I couldn’t do at this Road Runner due to a number of restrictions. See you soon…

matt in the morning

We were up at 6.00am this morning. Four hours of sleep at best. Bleary eyed we headed out to RIT and a morning of renegade radio. Glenn, my brother, was the GM of WITR and was looking to re-live some memories. So he and I tag teamed the 7-00am to 9.00am shift. This was my first time doing a music shift. I have been on national radio a number of times talking about Digital Cameras, but like everyone, I’ve always wanted to do a leetle DJin’. I have a lot more respect for folks who can do a smooth mike break now…

Glenn has been up in Rah-cha-cha since Saturday. We’ve had a lot of fun so far. Mainly eating our way through town as Glenn demanded to get his fill of local food before he headed back. He’s heading back at 6.30 today :-(.

Oh, new look 2001 progress is under way. Perhaps as soon as Wednesday there might be a “new me” hanging around.

ozzy’s playin’ on MP3… I’m ready to blog

yeah, ozzy-bite-the-head-off-live-bats-moon-the-audience-self-medicating-osborne is playing right now (I’ve got pretty eclectic music tastes). My computer at work has been packed with over 30+ hours of MP3 goodness. So on days like today I just set the player on random and never know what’s going to pop up next (its “Road to Nowhere” btw).

Any hoo, for some reason the last update didn’t make it to the site (even though blogger is showing that it published the site… weird huh?). Hopefully it’ll push this time. Check down below for it.

Things are starting to come together on a bunch of projects. Scott (my downstairs housemate) and I are in full Mardi Gras swing. I’m not sure where we’re going to fit all these people. Things with the Exact Theatre Company are starting to pick up. I’ve all but nailed down the first of two performance spaces and will be landing (Guns and Roses November Rain… hmm Mister WinAmp is in the big hair stadium hard rock mood today) the other next week. Even though we still have to steal space from RIT, rehearsals are going well. Thankfully steps are being taken to legitimize our relationship with them.

Martial Arts… well, I had a frustrating night yesterday. I was zoning for most of the evening. And I seem to have 42 little, compounding problems with everything I do. So needless to say I’m feeling like a klutz right now. A klutz that can bang out a lot of pushups, but a klutz none the less. The good news is that I’ve scheduled a lot more time at home for practicing. That should help a lot. And I’ve gone through these periods before.

My brother Glenn is flying up from Raleigh NC to visit me on Saturday. I’m pretty psyched about that. But I just wish I had more down time (something I haven’t had since Christmas). I mean I still have Christmas presents to wrap and mail. :-P Bleh! And the apartment could really use some tiding up. But that’s always the case.

almost back to the ordinary world

I’ve been pretty remiss on updates as of late. A big reason for that is that I stepped back and realized that I’m involved in a lot of stuff. I mean that I’m really involved in a lot. Probably over my head. Which I’ve known for a while, but didn’t want to officially acknowledge. Or when I did, it was usually in a fit of depression when I’d think “I’m never going to be able to handle all of this.” Thankfully those moods don’t last too long. But in the end I was still left with a ton of stuff to do.

So I’ve been working to organize and prioritize my life. To decide what’s important to me and what do I need to focus on. The great news is I’m just about there. I’ve been kickin’ butt at work, really crankin’ through some un-fun stuff I had over my head. So once I’m through that I’ll have more time to blog. The same is true for my life outside of work, but that needs a bit more work right now.

Matt Look Update: I was supposed to get my new glasses today, but (grumble grumble) they don’t have the sunglasses attachments in yet. I’m not getting a hair cut until I get the glasses and really digest how they look on me so I can make a final do decision.
