To blog or not to blog...?

To blog or not to blog...?

What a stupid question! Of course I have time to waste. I have the
option of staying up late because yes, I am now officially freelance.
I love it! I'm back in the game, and I feel like I'm where I belong!
Tomorrow I have a meeting with Kelly in the early afternoon about
freelancing with Frischkorn, than I'm meeting with Gary for coffee.
Okay...so here's how it goes.

I phone Adam to RSVP his birthday, and tell him that I'm back, so I
ask him if he knows anyone looking for freelancers. Because Wally
stepped away from Frish, I hear there is a new guy running Calgary.
Adam says the guy is named Kelly, and Gary has his number. I phone
Gary, and I have a number and a coffee meeting.

Next, I phone the number, and as it turns out, I freelance with
Kelly..."oh! That Kelly" at Inland AV. The same Inland AV I have been
wondering about contacting lately. This will be cool! Kelly is a cool
guy, and i look forward to seeing him again when I go to fill out
papers tomorrow!

Aside from that, I met with my probable landlord/roommate today at
north hill mall, and he seems pretty cool. I am totally digging the
idea of living there! May 1st, baby, yeah!

Well, that's all I got for now!

Cheers

I miss this board - and the industry!

The Return of Me???

The Return of Me???

Hey! As if I'm talking to someone, right? Maybe someone is
listening...reading. I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but a new place
to live is in the cards for me now. I am meeting with someone on
Thursday, and if all goes well, I will be moving out for May 1st. It's
exciting stuff. I don't know the exact house, but I know what block
it's on, and I can already say that I love the neighborhood.

I also am now officially on the call list for the Directors Guild of
Canada. That's some pretty sweet stuff. I met Carol after my last
vocal lessons, and even though I don't have my flagging, she has me on
the list. That means I cant be a pa on the road...which means I get to
do the more exciting jobs. Sweet deal, eh? Oh! I got a call to set up
a meeting with ACA Audio Visual today which means that I am officially
back in the freelance game. Hells yeah!!! The only thing which would
sweeten this cake is a good girl to share it all with.

Cheers

A New Day On The Horizon

A New Day On The Horizon

So as life has come at me, I find myself still hit with this flu. It
has gotten into my lungs, and now, I cough with every breath. I got
back to work only to be hit even harder a week later. I now have been
off for too many days to count. Could I return? Do I want to return?
Yes and no. I want to return...to the stage.

I have been taking advantage of my free (laying around incapacitated)
time, and building up a flashy comeback to the AV industry. We will
soon see the return of Chad in the CAREER he loves! For now, I will
continue to journal in my iPod, and post it on the net for you to read.

A New Day

A New Day

So yeah! Here I am finishing my laundry, listening to little big
town, and catching up on the meant-to-do list. It's nice, because I
just went through three and a half days of hell with that flu. I still
have a cough from it, but hey! That's life.

So now that I almost have my laptop paid off, I can work on getting my
truck fixed. After that? Freedom! I'll be free to do what I want.
Maybe a road trip to 150 mile house? Maybe visit Vancouver? Maybe
move. Not to a city though! Calgary or a SMALL town!!! We shall see!

Meh! Its all in the future! This is now!

A Second Day

So yeah! I still feel like I want to die today. The cement truck
backed up and drove over me again...and again! All isn't lost though;
my bed is nice and comfortable. I didn't have to feed yesterday, but I
went to my very first vocal lesson. I loved it. Music is so powerful,
it can heal the most wounded of hearts...which is why I want to use it
to save my friend. She is going through such a rough time, and I think
I can help! For now though, I think I'll focus on my health, and take
another day to get better, so now, I'll roll back over and let my body
rest!

A Sick Day

How well do these notes work? I hope really well. Anyway, this would
be cool to use as a journal. So let's get started, shall we?!

If I had to pick only one word to describe today, it would be
crap...as in I feel like crap! I feel like I've been run over by a
cement truck! But the question comes; why can't we get sick when its
convenient? By all rights, I should be in my truck driving to the
stampede grounds, but I'm not. Instead, I'm waiting and hoping to see
if Rod gets my message soon, and also hoping his wife was well enough
to make it in today because I don't want to leave him high and dry! So
when he calls, if she made it, than I will roll over and sleep. If
not, than I'll be getting dressed. I'll still have to do my evening
feed though no matter what!

To compound things, today is my very first vocal lesson. Yep, I tried
out for idol on Sunday, and all I got to show for it was my number
01832. So I am taking steps so I can make it next year. I have two
more chances, so here goes nothing!

It's now ten after, so I will probably get my call in the next twenty
minutes. So I'll say cheers!

Cheers,
