Handling The Business

Why do you have to tell so called professionals take so many shorts fail to work hard smart or think their BS is believed?
You take my money be prepared to work and earn your money! I don’t take shorts and I don’t expect anyone who calls themselves a professional to have to be told to do their job. You have to be told what to do you are just a worker and not a true professional I don’t care what your line of work or career.
I always give people leeway that way I can determine a lot about a person. Even if you tell them what you are doing it doesn’t matter they reveal themselves to be lazy weak minded or strong with character resourcefulness. You just have to know what to look for it’s revealed in even very minor ways. I always give them a chance to work out of it but most don’t know how even when given the chance.
Now back to the mundane and not so vague. I had ants move in literally carrying their little unborn and all trying to escape the heat and water. Time to do the every few month spray around the perimeter of the house
I am still getting rid of things out of the house and it’s constantly taking shape while my designated activity areas of the house are taking shape many times over. This is like a constantly morphing organism.

Incompetence & Fear Epidemic

Why does it seem as I go along I run into more people who are incompetent and fearful of BS? The sad thing is that this behavior is accepted and condoned, people are so used to making excuses for their poor behavior and incompetence its become accepted. Then on the fear tip people fear what will happen if they lose this job or if people think of them in this manner when it freaking doesn’t matter in most cases!
Then people will carry out some elaborate façade when their incompetence is brought to attention instead of correcting the issue like a strong person of character will do as if no one can tell.
First let’s define incompetence. Incompetence to me is a desired state based on the fact that the incompetent person instead of correcting the issues that typical human imperfection may have caused lack the growth of person and character blame someone else or pretend it didn’t happen. You see this all the time in politics, all sides of legal issues, corporations, government, personal relationships, entertainment, basically all phases of life. People want to belong so bad they are concerned with image more than reality. This has become a basic way of doing business and conducting legal and personal issues.
I’m not talking about typical imperfect human behavior I’m talking about people who are more concerned about image even when they are wrong. They think their thinking is sophisticated and people who don’t believe like they are don’t understand or are naive when they are the ones playing themselves. People press their values on you or what their narrow minds believe your values are and they are so far off in my case in most cases I don’t even give them conversation on their points since they are so off based.
This incompetence breeds fear. People fear portraying an image that is unpopular they compromise themselves about minor issues everyday and don’t realize it.
I make decent money so what if when I go out I people think I’m poor hell with all the bills maybe I am poor. Yet some people will pour their last dime into clothes, cars so people that have no influence on their lives will think they are the S@$%t. People believe if they dress a certain way people will respect them and that’s true but who are the people giving the respect? Maybe that’s the California west coast in me. I like dressing up and there are occasions to do that but some people take it too far.
Anyway just some stuff to think about take it for what you like but history will look at this time period and will not be favorable. Sure we have more technology than ever before but 100 years ago was the height of the technology ever seen in the world. When they had the witch hunts in Salem they never envisioned that there would be a time when people would be more technically advanced or enlightened.
Even if anyone reads this whole thing only a few who know me will understand the concept, you have to go deeper than the words. Only a few people who know me understand what I mean by that. When you talk with me if you rely on standard thoughts & cliché’s and don’t concentrate on the actual thoughts expressed you will be lost.
Cool enough I will keep most things on the shallow tip for ya from here out.

Going To Be Another Busy Week!

Finishing up tasks after work I intended to do Sunday but did not because of events and being in a fog.
Things are starting to take shape just have to keep pushing on.
It seems that these entries do not increase the size of the MYSQL database on my Linux system to much. I guess when you consider they are really small text files I’m creating and storing its not surprising. I will start putting more images up and see how that does.
I will be making changes to the overall site soon so keep a watch out. As other home projects finish and settle down I will be able to sit down for longer periods to accomplish things on the website and with the music web server.
I still would like to change how I stream music or perhaps place another point out there where the audio stream can be picked up using even the same programs! I need a way that people on all platforms of Operating Systems can easily listen and retain or increase my current flexibility. We will see once I have time!

Recovery

I was slowed down today because of the previous night then couple that with temperatures climbing back to normal around @ a high of 99 degrees, took me a while to get myself together.
Did go to a coed baby shower and that was a curious event. Shoot I have to get some things done still tonight, I’m out!

Busy Friday

I had a busy day at work and then some more rearranging after work.
Finally I’m getting my computer/audio room setup so that my computer functions and audio/DJ type functions are basically in the same room. I wanted ample space to do both and finally I’m on the way to achieve that.
I will also once again integrate my computers with my external mixers, turntables, etc. Then I can continue recording my LP’s to computer thus digitizing them. I can also pipe music from my computer to all my external sources. This will be so nice but this time I’m going to have a better patch panel setup so I can easily go back and forth between sources.
While I’m doing this I’m continuing my trend of downsizing to obtain a minimally cluttered living space.

Long Thursday

Had a nice long day today that is just starting to wind down.
Did the running thing at lunch and finished of course but it was a tough mental run the whole 6 miles from start to finish. Had the normal things to deal with and then this new sensation from my new shorts riding up strange in the groin area…kinda tickled. Once I out ran that strange sensation I tripped over this root sticking up from a tree not quite at the half way point. I caught myself on my hands in some gravel but since I run with my lifting gloves on my hands I did not get scratched up. Plus my legs or knees never hit the ground. I ended up in a position like I was doing the crab walk like you do for football practice and slid a while. This isn’t our normal hot August at 100 plus degrees but was 86 degrees and getting a little warmer without much shade and the heat was radiating off the pavement but I used every mental trick I had to finish. I never should have let myself get this far out of shape I told myself as I ran.
The chef fixed me some more “Gourmet Chicken Wings”.
I have to buy some gifts for events this weekend and then I’m set ….I think.

Mid-Week Run

Today did my 8 mile run I neglected on the weekend because of allergies and other things I had to accomplish over the weekend. Felt real good and shaved almost 2 minutes off the previous run at that distance. Another 5 – 6 minutes off that time and then I can start feeling real good and really star pressing the issue!

Tying up ends Tuesday

Westside all day baby, what did I do? After a night with some sleep ahhhh, well the amp is slumping out beats again. Still need a better equalizer but its still on hit.
Been trying to get my stuff together to make chili since Friday and finally had the time but still everything was all over the place. I really need to go through the main cupboard in the kitchen after I do the rest of the house things were all over the place!
Made too much for one crock pot so combined in a large stock pot to keep ingredients together, perfect the taste and then transferred the contents to two separate crock pots for a slow simmer to really sink the flavor in! I think the chili will be on hit just have to see what others say about it.

Lethragic Monday

Once again my alarm went off in the late night, which is late Monday morning and I did not get a good sleep to go along with not getting any sleep over the weekend.
I picked up a replacement fridge that’s larger with ice & water to replace my current fridge with just ice in the door.
I troubleshot my large 1000 watt amp that drives my big DJ speakers that can break out the glass in my windows if I’m not careful. Looks promising will pick up the parts tomorrow and pretty sure that I will have it humping the beats full blast once again. I need to break down and get two more UPS for my equipment.
Damned even when I’m lethargic I’m handling some biz baby!!
