myspace or not?

I don't profess to being the only person in the US for not having a myspace account, but I'm wondering how many of us there may be out there? It seems everyone I know has an account, and they all complain about how much time they kill on the site looking at what's out there. Me personally, I spend too much time on computers during the day that the thought of "more" time just sends me into a fit of stress.

I'm somewhat content to keep my site going (for the sake of having a site), but honestly, no one cares. I wonder though if I might simply be expressing anti-social behavior by refusing to be in anyone's extended network.

The information age sucks!!

Quick and Random thoughts

Been playing around with Yahoo widgets, and found a nice little tool that lets me post directly to Blogger without the necessary logging in. I can simply post through the widget on my desktop at any time and one click&: Boom! Posted. Maybe now I'll post with a bit more frequency. I love technology and it's ability to make me lazier. Also one more way to avoid the hell that is MySpace.

For all my waiting fans

So I've apparently been a bit remiss about keeping up on this thing. Suffice to say, I haven't had a whole lot to write about. But as I ponder the work I should be doing, I figured, "What better time to add a little prose to my journal".

Not much new since my job was outsourced back in January. I'm still doing the same job, (though not at the moment) and I'm still being paid less than market value for a computer technician. The up-side, however is that the end of my 3 month probation period with the outsource company that hired me for the job I lost is approaching. This, hopefully, will mean more $. If not, then I rely on my wits and my wife's new promotion with the Clark Co. Library to support me. Good things come to those that wait.

Down-sides- The wife's job is in Laughlin, NV, so now my performing days in Vegas are numbered. I'm having to step the role of father now, which is great, but I miss the friends that I've been performing with for almost two years. Life goes on.

If all works out, I will leave my old/new job sometime in late summer and devote more time to the pursuits of acting. I was hoping that I would start sooner, (having an audition with "Blue Man Group" last week), but so far, no call-back. Not to worry. Things happen for a reason.

Finally got a DVD copy of the movie I did with ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE, Gary Busey. Haven't watched it yet (though I'd seen it twice already). Needless to say, my daughter is anxious about seeing her daddy on the TV. I may arrange a viewing for some friends down here, but I have to be cautious about any copyright infringements. As it stands, I'm probably one of only a dozen or so people that have a copy of it. BTW you can view the trailer of "Shadowlands" on my website.

That's about as exciting as it gets right now. Not very prolific. I apologize. You waited almost three months for an update, and all you get is......well....an update. Go figure.
