One thing I have noticed since my serotonin has been allowed to come and go without influence is, I feel even younger and willing to try anything. This, having had the influence previously, is not so much a good thing. Example:
I am now the proud owner of a rather nice, brand-spanking-new DJ rig. I mean, come in Ant-Knee, what where you thinking? I know exactly what I as thinking – I do weddings, know wedding, have a professionally trained voice (for speaking) and need to do something since real jobs are avoiding me. Cross market the officiant with the reception service and viola I have more work.
This is a great idea – ‘cepting the part about freaking-franken-truck and the mystery transmission. Not only is the rig new, it is BIG. Substantially bigger than anything going in the Fiero. The rebuild kit and DVD are on the way. Will I receive, rebuild and reinstall in 4 days? I must say, NO is the most probable correct answer. It may be Thursday before the parts get here! Shopping-Cart-DJ-Man! I have been looking for a business name – YEA!
Not to mention I made all of these commitments, to buy, to pay for, to take to, to use at, when franken-truck was running. A small bump – I’ll work it out.
The wedding business is busy. That is a good thing. Only reason I have eaten this week. I must think that finally I have found something I am actually good at, love to do, and people actually pay for. Selling Pro AV gear is not so great a gig these days. Plus, I flat out just suck at sales. When someone tells me no, not interested, no, do not need, I just kinda believe them. Much better at providing a service, affordable and really good! (my opinion of me! hehe)
Did I mention the crazy neck pain and headache I have had for week? Are serotonin re-uptake inhibitors something you withdraw from? Hmph.
Once truck is a vehicle and not a garage-filler, I can start some wood work too. Try and sell some of that stuff.
Saturday’s wedding was great – fantastic couple, great guests, weather cleared up, sunny, blue and white skies for 3 hours – PERFECT for photos and fun – just when dinner started to start, the rain started to start again. Nice.
Ya know – I had all this stuff to say this morning and my headache and terror at not making any money today have killed the vibe, the writing rhythm, the joy of word smithing. Poop.
So I give up. Time to make a list, extract a digit, work on list.
Thanks for listening – (hint hint hint – need to hire me to hear me. Get it?)
