This site is for those eejits who care what i think. It's my voice - unfiltered, profane and real and old school... since i'm getting old-ish. No sniveling.
Talk of another Blade Runner installment a la 'Prometheus', the 3D Aliens installment due in 2012. Should be interesting. I hope it's great! The Blade Runner look was influenced a UA arch grad. My mentor Doug MacNeil and I discussed at length his background and context.
It's been many years since I've felt the need to engage in art and design. The why of it doesn't matter. I have simpy had other things to do that needed all my attention and energy to execute well. So this has changed. The requirements of the other activities haven't changed, I find, again, that I might have something to offer that might have value. More importantly, what I wish to explore brings together the major threads of my lifes' work. Nothing wasted or left out. The ongoing enenrichment continues. Doing nothing, yet leaving nothing undone. We'll see how it works out. Stay tuned. I share it all here.
I've been invited back next week and for a regular monthly segment.
A friend told me after listening to the show that I sounded like I belonged on the radio. He of course didn't know that radio 'personalities' have been the bane of my existence since KZAP started screwing up their programming back in the day. FM used to be about music and music only. I remember when egos started to intrude on my wonderful and pure listening experience.
Am I now one of those assholes? Maybe so, but I mean well. Tucson's Jolt is liberal talk radio, the point is talking, so it's OK.
As I've come to understand, getting the message out is what's important... it's not about me.
I remember licking envelopes as a very small child when my mom was a campaign manager. California in the late 60's. Rode in the gubernatorial helicopter with lil' Ron, Nancy and the big Guv. I liked him, she was scary and Ron was scared to be high up the air.
I hope politicoop turns out to be a step in the right direction. Issues, rather than agendas.
Yeah, 2009 was a disappointing year in many ways... Obama proved merely human and Congress wildly corrupt as it bent over on finance reform. Few surprises there. The economy stank. Hope turned to patience.
Personally there were more downs than ups, but as the song goes, you may not always get what you want, you get what you need. I propose that the Rolling Stones song be the anthem for 2009. It is for me. My official motto: "No Sniveling" was put to the test almost constantly, but proved to be a shining beacon for those close to me. :)
On the upside, The Kung Fu Studio, is proving to be a wild success. When other martial arts health & fitness outfits are shutting down, we're growing. Thanks to all who support us!
Business has been tough. My Green Geeks team refocusing efforts are paying off and I am optimistic about 2010. Toasterz has been liberated from all the soft stuff to be the Uber-Geek Techno-Floss hardware site it always wanted to be.
Connor and Lauren are in a fantastic school! International School of Tucson is a perfect fit for our kids and closely aligns with our views on Modern Literacy. The family continues to grow together and our closeness is a welcome comfort as we all 'Get our fair share of abuse..."
