It’s been quite a tumultuous past few weeks.  I’ve written thousands of lines of code and we’re so close now with 2 days to spare.  Brandon and I did another 12 hour marathon session at work and most likely will start another in a couple hours.  The pieces of the puzzle are all coming together and I’m excited for the results.  If all goes well, we’ll finish up tonight, polish tomorrow, and wow the vendors on Tuesday.

It’s really fun being a programmer again.  Sure the time investment isn’t the greatest but I’m actually using my brain again.  To those that haven’t seen me around much lately,  I apologize but I’m sure you all know I’ll be back and kicking very soon.  Next we get to start planning the AfterHoursDJs spinoff here in Minneapolis.  The venue is locked down and the djs have their flights booked, it’s just a matter of getting the plans for the venue locked down.  If you’re in Minneapolis, you better party with us on October 20th!

Back when I used to work at Irresistible Ink during my first yearly review my boss referred to me as 95%.  He told me that I can do any project and fly up to 95% and afterwards wait until the last minute.  I sometimes feel like this is true about my life lots.  I can climb to near the top at almost anything I do.  Be it djing, working within the car club, or work.  It seems like it comes with relative ease as if I prove to myself I can be the best, then slouch off.  I wish I could explain why I do it, or where it came from.  I know that when I push myself, I climb over the wall but there have been few times I’ve done that.  I really don’t know where all of this is coming from either.  I should be in relatively high spirits.  I’ve been working a bunch of hours but beyond that, I’m on track for a very successful year in my life.  I love my job, Brandon starts work there next week.  My dj crew is growing more and more and we’re throwing 3 shows in the next few months which will put us at the 4 shows I wanted to reach in the beginning of the year.

For those that don’t know, I also signed up for a gym and I’ve already lost 6lbs in the last 2 weeks which puts me just a hair over the 2.5lbs / week goal I set for myself.  Yet at the end of the day, I feel dead.  I haven’t felt like going out for quite some time now and even playing out isn’t a priority.  I really think I need a vacation and may opt to take one in October.  I’m really considering just getting in the jeep and driving.  Where I end up, it really doesn’t matter as long as it’s away.  Of course, that means getting away from work, probably everyone I know as well.  I really enjoyed being away with an entirely new feeling.  Driving in downtown Nashville, not knowing what I was going to find was exciting.  Granted this would probably be a better plan if it was summer but maybe I’ll just go that far south.  Who knows, not me that’s for sure.

Well I decided to make a life change today and it’s a pretty big one.  It’s actually one that will have a huge impact on my life.  I really don’t keep too many secrets, so as an experiment, I’ve told one person of the change.  It’s something that if it goes well, will affect me for the rest of my life.  Have any guesses?  Anyways, it’s one of those things that’s for the better.  I’ve considered creating a separate category that’s private where I can write about it and then once I’ve decided to, I’ll open it up for others to see.  Here’s to my new endeavor!
