2 reasons to celebreate the impending holiday

i've not been busy blogging. sorry, truthfully, kinda. Work has been good, it's fun and interesting, i enjoy all the people i work with, and it seems to be working out well. Today i got my first set of business cards, and they interviewed me for a video they will show at our companies user conference next week here in Milwaukee. There will be 160 clients from 12 countries, the oddest place will be Qatar, and the farthest would be from Australia. i volunteered to be the company photographer, so i get to be down at the conference at the Pfister for most of next week taking pictures. Speaking of photography i have 4 photos in a show this weekend for the spring gallery night. i am pretty excited to finally be showing some work, but i know why i didn't do anything sooner ~ cause it is a surprising amount of work to get everything ready. i am actually surprisingly busy lately, my nights are filled with shit i need to do, and i'm actually having to start planning my time and scheduling things for various nights, which as you may know is quite foreign to me and goes against my nature and beliefs. All while maintaining my viewership for all the shitty shows i watch, Allah bless DVR. Oh yeah, back to the show my mind wanders so severely while writing these post you have no idea, my mind just races with things i think to write, then i contemplate whether i should write it down, then i do, then i fiddle with the grammar and syntax a bit, then i delete it because it is out of place, or usually because it seems arrogant and uninteresting, for example several times in this post i have written about then deleted some comments my boss made, she said i was extremely courteous, i say thank you after everything, in my emails and conversations with customers and coworkers i am are very formal and well-written and well-spoken. Previously it was just out-of-place and self-congratulatory but in this context of explaining my process i think it fits better. And i just realized this is very similar to my internal process when i am in a group and waiting to speak, i hem and haw whether i should say it, then i think about how to say it, then i wait for a good opportunity to say it, but those good opportunities rarely come, and i am left quiet. i feel rejuvenated writing, it is 2:45 now, and i desperately need to go to bed, but it feels better than i thought it would to write again, i was actually kinda procrastinating cause there is so much to write and so little time to write it. But next time, hopefully shortly, i can tell you about my recent night partying with two 40 year old married women.

Anyway, the exhibit runs during the Third Ward’s Gallery Night and Day, April 20-21, and is located in the Third Ward at the P&H Dye House, 320 E. Buffalo Street (2nd Floor, above VP Gallery). Opening reception: 5-9pm.
