WTF part 2

ha...four years later i update.

honestly, i lost the login for this thing years ago, and lost interest.

that is, until i found an old spreadsheet with login info :)

so, here's some up to date info:

--the plumbing business failed miserably. "they" always said you shouldn't engage in business that you aren't passionate about, and i really didn't like the plumbing game at all. i got ripped off by general contractors more than once, and ultimately it was the fact that i was a small fish in a big shark tank.

so, F the contracting biz. my experience only taught me to Distrust All General Contractors.

the biz died in '08. then, my mom took ill, followed by my dad. i spent most of 08 driving between both of 'em to keep 'em alive. they live about 150 miles apart; there was a LOT of driving, so much so that i actually became a better driver: cruise control, speed limit, the whole works.

they're still alive today, our mom and dad. god bless 'em. they gave me life, and continued to keep me alive as i struggled to gain employment in the Tech sector.

i did get some tech work in '09, but pretty much bad employment luck has followed me, up until this week, when i picked up what may be a goodie. combination PC tech/desktop support/webmaster. not bad for a dobro-playin ex-plumber.

speakin' of dobro, '08 marks my reemergence into the world of live music performance. from 08 to present, i've played in six or so bands, and a lot of open mic nights. for now, i'm in one band, called "ish." it's like rock, only with turkish and indian percussion, it's got some reggae, but folk-ish...you get the picture.

so, updated music links. these websites were created by me

dobrocat.com
ishband.com

check 'em out, oh intrepid traveler, if you have a minute and a penchant for original sounds.

i'm also freelancing some web design. well, who the hell isn't in this day and age, eh?

thanks for reading this far. this has got to be the MOST pathetically written and updated blog on the interwebs, but it's mine, and you're reading it.
