Domestic Geek

Man, I had just typed up this long, insightful post and went to another site in another tab to get a link I wanted to post that I found this morning and the damned site locked up my browser. Buh bye loooong, insightful post. I so don't feel like writing all of that again right now. Maybe when I get home. *hrmph*

I just about jacked my keyboard at work when I knocked over my water bottle. Fortunately, the water spilled in front of it and I only got a few drops on the spacebar. Whew. Not that I'm doing any work today anyway. I have to beat the art director about the head to give me work to do and I'm tired of it. I've gotten such a bad attitude here. That's what my post was about. Maybe it's a good thing that the browser crashed. Maybe all I really needed to do was get my anger and frustration out and I did and there is no record of it. Hmmmm.

Anyway, I've been doing The Artist's Way for the last week. I started doing it a while back and never made of habit of it. I think I gave up after a week. This time I'm determined to see the process through. I've got a major creative block and some self-confidence issues. I do some serious mental self-sabotaging and I need to get to the root causes and fix it. One of the main excercises in the program is a thing called morning pages. Every morning you write three whole stream-of-consciousness pages of all the crap floating around in your head, no matter what it is. That's probably why I haven't had much to say here. Once it's on paper, why bother typing it again?

I can't remember how I got there, but I was reading this site called The Lazy Way to Success and I read this quote: Man, how true that is. I don't care if I ever become rich, but I'm tired of being an employee. I hate it. I'm tired of my income being dictated by the work ethics of other people.

OK, I'm better than I was an hour ago. I lied and didn't go to bed yet. I've been venting to Marcus for the last hour since he got home. Poor guy. Anyway, I went to hostway to show Marcus the whois for the dork that snapped up my domain and it was available again. Wha? So, I grabbed the credit card and snapped it up. We'll see in the next few days if I actually got it.

OK, going to bed for real now since I've got so much freakin' work to do tomorrow. G'night.

Wow, first free race tickets and now this:



Yay, things are finally looking up for me!!!!!

BTW, if you haven't already signed up at Blingo (a google search engine that gives away prizes like my movie ticket), join as one of my Blingo Friends. That way when I win again, you'll get a prize, too (or vice versa).

I like how Blingo can be added to the Firefox search bar, too.

Your Birthdate: September 11

Your birth on the 11th day of the month makes you something of a dreamer and an idealist. You work well with people because you know how to use persuasion rather than force. There is a strong spiritual side to your nature, and you may have intuitive qualities inherent in your make up, too. You are very aware and sensitive, though often temperamental. Although you have a good mind and you are very analytical, you may not be comfortable in the business world. You are definitely creative and this influence tends to make you more of a dreamer than a doer.

Hmmm...Yep, that about sums me up.

I saw this artPad Digital Canvas site at Delirious Cool and Snazzykat. Looks like fun. I'll have to play with it when I get home from work tomorrow.
