Bar Singing.

Last night we went out for a night of karaoke at a local bar called Thunder and Buttons. It was a pretty good time I sang one song and it was pretty fun. I would have been encouraged to sing more but the guy running the show was a pretty big jerk off.

He calls himself "Crazy Tony" now I will give him the fact he has a great set up nice sound equipment and he runs a nice show. But unless your an attractive female or a guy that he personally knows he just does not give you the time of day or respect to be on the stage. It was kind of frustrating but good company made up for the old creeper running the show.

Been at work a lot lately, actually no more than any other week it just feels like it because it's so slow. I can't stand being at the studio by myself. I am very used to working around others and running a solo business I really don't think is for me. I need the human interaction.

I did get the jeep yesterday and I'm loving it already, I will post a pic when I get a chance to take one in the day light. I'm looking forward to a good drive on some of my time off this week head up the mountain a bit.

If you can't tell I am attempting to keep this a bit more updated. Comments are encouraging.

A wordy update.

I have been really bad about updating my blog lately. Tisk tisk I know.

They have been introducing a lot of new technology at work lately and I have been trying to keep up. The idea of it all is for us to "go green" which I believe is a good thing. The amount of paper we use for a industry that is based on a digital format now it ridiculous. We are introducing a new sales process as well as updating the ancient art of paper time sheets to a new automated system that will have our employees punching in and out real time. All good things going on here.

Outside of work I have been hassling with the process of purchasing a new vehicle, a new jeep to be exact. I believe that this sales process is the worst I have ever encountered. In my own line of work I try to make sure that the guests are quickly tended too and happy with every aspect of the transaction. Car sales...not so much. This is not to mention the hassle of getting a bank approval on anything these days. I knew the economy was bad but how can it get better if the banks are so stingy on giving loans. I make more than enough now to cover a loan and I still had to have a co-signer. Apparently I have an insufficient credit history, 5 years is not enough, get credit when your 10 and you might have a good head start.

Perhaps the biggest news I have is my trip for home that is fast approaching. That's right I will be home soon and expect to see everyone I can in the very short time I will be there. I plan on being in on the 28th of Feb. and I will be leaving March 2nd in the evening. I feel the best way for me to accomodate everyone is an evening in the Ann Arbor area. Drinking and friends will be involved and I am highly looking forward to it.

Overall things are good out here on the front range, I am a bit down about the lack of snow we receive here though. It will snow 3 inches and be gone by the afternoon but I suppose there is enough in the mountains for everyone.

I was a bit long winded on this one.

Threatened.

Under the threat of MLA this is an update, I of course do not want to be part of the removal to cure boredom process.

So what have I been up too?

Well work is always there as well as the occasional trip to the local watering holes.

The newest thing though is my search for a new Jeep Wrangler. Yes that's right I have made it not even 6 months driving a new car and I already want a new Jeep. So the search is on, and with the economy the way it is right now it's a buyers market. So that's what I'm doing tommorow I have a few more I want to look at and get someone to make me a deal.

So wish me luck.

Other than that just hanging out.

6 Months til July

I know that July is a long way's away but I am getting excited for our trip home to see friends attend what is going to be an amazing wedding and see some family along the way.

So last night I looked for some plane tickets which were pretty up there in price. So Kel threw the idea at me of driving back. And I think that's what were going to do, it's not really that long with the two of us driving and we would be able to bring both the dogs.

We figured it out very quickly that driving would save us any where from $800-$900 on this trip home. Seems logical to me.

I will begin taking orders for Colorado beers in June.

So I have been really bad about updating lately but with the holiday's coming up we have been pretty busy in the portrait world.....who would have known.

Thankfully it is slowing down a bit. I am looking forward to Christmas and kind of not. It is going to be really different this year as it will be a first for Kellie and I being away from home.

But we do have some plans we are going to hang out at home in the morning then we are going to see Marley and Me and then we are going to spend the evening with some friends, order some chinese and have some holiday drinks.

So it should be a good time. I am really looking forward to giving kellie the gifts that I have gotten her.

Well I have tommorow off and no promises but I think I might go for a long hike maybe take some pics of the snow on the mountains since there is none down here in the Springs.
