Out the fry pan –

OK – let me begin by apologizing for the lack of content. I have been a bit all over the place and not in one that was good for writing, creating anything worth spreading around. I am in fact, sitting here with a determined look wondering what I can do that would be more than one of those annoying end of the year recaps people put in Christmas cards.

Crap – nuttin’. I got nuttin’. Picture yourself opening a Christmas card from me, mid-summer, and this is what falls out. If I figure out how I may even put in a tacky photo of myself, since that’s always good, sending a photo of yourself as a gift. Its kinda OK if you have kids that are growing up but, if it’s just you and an overweight pet, come on!

Here goes:

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged was for the most part a success. An awful lot of work and bullshit for six shows. Will really have to rethink that if I ever think about that again. The only good time part of that experience was four of the six performances. Not worth it in the long run but still, better than many other things I could have been doing. I give it 6.75

I am working at a sales gig. Something I have been told a zillion times I would be good at. Now here I am trying it. So far, I am having great conversations and not selling a damn thing. Need to re-read the job description maybe. Great place, awesome crew, love the industry and products.  Just need to sell some if it now! I give it 7.75 for now.

Back on head meds – which reminds me – I need to make a call – be right back.  Well that was an exercise in phone use to no good end. Sheesh. As I was saying, I am back on my meds. Only a week into the two weeks it takes to feel it, so who knows how I feel. I do however feel better. ‘nough said about that I suppose.

The pets are great – over weight and spoiled bastards one and all but fine none the less. Spike bit me on my nose earlier! First he wants his neck rubbed, then he bites me. Go figure.

My TV stand project came out nice. Nowhere near as nice as I had held such high hopes and visions for but  it looks fine from over here and when the TV is on – I look at it and not the stand.

One of two mirror projects made it up on the wall. One did not. Do not, repeat, do not think about what you are going to make for lunch while using nail gun. Or maybe I should say do not nail hungry. On the third of only three steps left, one of those steps being hang the sucker on the wall. But instead of watching what I was doing, I was making an inventory of what was in the crisper I could saute up and lay over a burger with some pepper-jack cheese. “Clink” – that was it. Just a wee little sound like, “clink”. It only takes the smallest contact from an 18 ga brad and the outside edge of a mirror to make that sound. The sound of glass falling and breaking, even more, on the floor of the garage comes later, when you try to move the thing all the while thinking, “Naw, now way I hit the glass. It would have broke and fallen out.” Or – it could break and just stay tightly in place since the frame was made so nice, then, when you move it, it all flies out. There is always that option.

Somehow I said yes to stage managing a show with three females in the cast. Only them. And  a female director. I am so doomed. Thus, the fry pan comment – out of one show and in even deeper to another.

Almost 15 months sober with little to show for it program wise. No desire to go back and little effort not too. Drink that is. It simple, I just don’t drink. I like it. I know I was big on getting my shit together via program – and I am still big on the idea – just lack the motivation I right now. Drive, I lack drive as someone said not long ago. My drive seems to be in park! Man I crack myself up sometimes.

Well, that’s about it. Still trying to make a living massaging and not getting very far. My agent wants new head shots of me! Why, I have no idea. I am going to ride this sales horse till it gets me there of dies under me.

Have nice weekend everyone. I hope you see me somewhere and say hi.

Peace, Ant-Knee

PS – saw a great quote, “I know God will not give me more than I can handle. I just wish He would not trust me so much.” hehehe – made me laugh.
