Cha Cha Cha Changes

09Aug06 | personal | 3 Comments »

Well it is official; I have taken a Mechanical Designer position at Clark Patterson Associates in Rochester NY. I will be moving from Auburn, up to Perinton (a suburb of Rochester) in about 3 weeks. This is probably the biggest change I have ever made in my life, and is a little scary, but it will definitely be a positive change for me. Although basically I will have the same title as before, I will be venturing into the HVAC design world now, which I am excited for. Aside from the obvious monetary reasons for taking a new job, I will also be closer to my family & friends, and in a much more “happening” location. Music is a huge part of my life, so being up in Rochester will certainly fuel my love for all things music. Granted it is not Nashville or someplace like that, but I if I want to go watch a band some Saturday night, I will have my pick of places! And because all of my recording equipment is currently in Perinton, I will be able to work almost everyday on the CD now…….. so the ball should really start rolling with that project!

I already have new diggs lined up, and will be rooming with my good friend and musical co-hort Mr. Sweeney. No more apartment for this kid! We will have a little house, filled with guitars, recording equipment and empty Bud Light cans………. I can see it now! Cru will be coming with me, so don’t worry he will still be blogging from time to time.

So in closing if as of late it has seemed as though I have fallen off the edge of the blogosphere……don’t fret, I am still here my friends! I am just extremely busy at the moment, but don’t worry within the next month the dust should settle and the smoke should clear!

98 Degrees and John Basedow

01Aug06 | personal, rant | 1 Comment »

No this post is not about some lame boy-band, so just stop right there if you were expecting to hear about Nick Lachey. Speaking of lame boy-bands……. why is it so surprising that Lance “I like ass” Bass is gay? He was the bass singer for a band who called themselves “NSYNC”. Ok sorry to get off topic, back to important things…….

Is it me, or has this summer been ungodly hot in upstate NY? As I am writing this post it is 11:30 AM, and according to weather.com it is already 91 degrees and “feels like 106 Degrees F”. It was 82 degrees in my apartment when I left my this morning! Compare that to Orlando, Florida which is currently at 88 degrees….. or Los Angeles, California where it is 74 and feels like 74? What gives?

Another thing that has really been bothering me is this dude John Basedow………. you know the “Fitness made simple” guy? I would post a pic of him….. but I can’t stomach the thought of his photo on my site. He is a self-proclaimed “fitness celebrity”…….. how does one become a “fitness celebrity”? Can I call myself a “fitness celebrity”? or would that require working out? How bout I call myself the “unfitness celebrity”? I can here the jingle now…….”unfitness made simple….. unfitness made simple”. For $29.99 you can buy my DVD which features 8 full hours of me sitting on the couch watching re-runs of CSI… eating the occasional bag of SunChips, and Hint-o-Lime Tostitos. Ugh I can’t stand it……. my dog even cries when those commercials come on. I think John Basedow is really the devil and the reason it is so damn hot out lately…….. You know how there are those Chuck Norris sites, that say Chuck Norris can do anything? I think there should be a similar site for John Basedow except where we blame all the worlds problems on John Basedow……. That would be cool! Ok I’m done…
