I’m guessing that it is pretty obvious that my crackberry wordpress app hasn’t been used. I honestly thought that I would get some use out of it. Whatever….
Nothing much has really been going on, not doing anything but working, taking care of the hybrid, and sleeping. I’ve come up with some ideas for a couple of things I’d like to do, and spoke to a friend who is willing to collaborate with me on a project. I think it’s going to be fun and may earn us a couple of bucks while we’re at it.
I need to get in touch with my other friend to see if she still wants to work on the project I first pitched to her 11 months ago. Not that I haven’t been in touch with her over facebook or twitter, I just keep forgetting to ask her about it.
And as for facebook, I’ve deactivated my account. Nothing on it has proved useful to me for the past few months so I figured it was time to give it a rest. Feels good to.
What I’m hoping is that the time I spent on facebook I can now turn to working on projects that really interest me.
Or at least not bore me.

Still alive, just caught up with life. And work. And fatherhood. And birthdays, holidays, and whatnot.
Be back soon.

So, as the new year ends, I find myself in a new and weird place. I have a new hybrid, a new job, and a new macbook.
The new job was supposed to allow me to have more time to spend with the hybrid and more time to write, but that isn’t happening. I pick him up from the grandparent’s home after work, but then have to help the wife make dinner during which the hybrid is usually sleeping. Then we watch a little television and go to bed. Or I fall asleep during while watching the damn tv.
Also, I’ve dropped just about every writing project I’ve had, including the 100 words. One of the coordinators sent an e-mail to the group stating that she was looking for things from the group that I didn’t really want to do. So I guess you can say that I left it due to ‘creative differences’. Never thought I would say that about anything.
The only other projects that I have are the Uké manga, which looks like it is on hold, and a website design that is two months late. Go figure. Oh, and then there’s is the secret project that I didn’t tell anyone about that is also looking like it is on hold.
Next year I plan on doing some things for me. Like more writing. I’ve got some ideas that just may work.
Happy new year.

Life sure does love to get in the way of living, doesn’t it?
Since the hybrid was born, nothing has been the same, not a damn thing. Mostly not living in our own apartment. Having to stay with the in-laws is quite uncomfortable, not to mention it puts a damper on my own computer time.
And then there’s work. Not having a regular nine-to-five job is a real pain in the ass. Though, this should change in the upcoming couple of weeks thanks to a new job. This should give me to write more, let alone spend more time with the hybrid. But by writing more, I can actually get my projects done.
Besides writing, I also have a couple of website design/building gigs; one paid, one for a friend (so not paid). Still, it’s good to mix it up a bit, keeps the mind fresh.
I haven’t heard from the director, producer, or writer of the play I was working on so I guess I’m through with that officially. Which is a good thing because that annoyed the hell out of me.
So besides living by means of my crackberry, I haven’t had much time for anything. Coming back home in the next week and a half will help, plus that new job I mentioned, and I guess it’ll back to almost normal for me.
Oh, new 100 words up.

New 100 words up.
Still not home yet, still not with regular interweb access yet, still not anywhere near normal. But I’m guessing that’s okay for now.

Whoa, where the hell have I been?!
Well, let’s see….
- still at the in-law’s with limited interweb access
- working at the mall six days a week, with varying hours
- the hybrid is keeping us up during the night, and quite busy during the day
This is all well and good but I also have actual work to do. I need to continue working on that project I mentioned weeks ago that I am working on with a friend. I’m going to be two weeks behind this Friday. I have to figure out what I’m going to do since I don’t have my own iMac with me more, or even a MacBook of my own to use. Using the in-law’s computer doesn’t really help because I don’t have my files and I don’t want to tie up their machine(s).
And to add insult to injury, I forgot to write my 100 words last Friday.
I can’t wait to be back in my own apartment where I can do whatever I please.

First off, here’s the new 100 words.
Next up, I’ve been busy the last week with the birth of my son. It’s a frigging amazing thing, becoming a parent. All I want to do is sit and hold him all the time though I know that’s impossible. Still, it’s all I want to do. But I can’t not do anything else….
I started a new job last, last Monday. It’s retail, it sucks, it’ll last until the economy improves and I can find a real job. This is going to take up a shitload of time because the person in charge of scheduling, whom from this moment on I will call “the Manager”, has me working seven or eight straight days, starting later today. The Manager needs to learn how to make schedules because working hours like that will burn anyone who works in retail out. And it’s not a good way to save money for the owners.
Because of this, I’m going to have to drop one of my projects and it’s going to be the play adaptation. It’s not one of my own projects, I’m not getting paid for it, and all along this thing I’ve gotten nothing but headaches. I’m still going to be writing the 100 words because it’s fun and I’m going to continue to work on that new project with my friend I discussed earlier. I’ve already sent her some stuff and will write some more and send it to her hopefully by Friday.
That’s all for now. Time for bed….
