Going away for a while

In case you may have noticed, I have been somewhat absent lately. I work a full time job, freelance a couple more jobs and write for a few places. I have a house to keep and cats to feed. So here's the deal, where every so often i may still post the occasional shit on this here bloggy, you know, to let you know how much I miss you but the majority of my posts will now be split up on two, already existing (and totally awesome)sites.

SMILE FOR CAMERA
Along with show photos, reviews and write-ups already on the site. Smile for Camera will now host all my 'lifestyle' posts. This means all my sneakers, awesome clothing, cool gadgets, amazing artists and the like will all now be on SFC. Its a fun little blog, so go check it out. Especially if you live anywhere in Florida, (especially Orlando, Miami, West Palm Beach) and Georgia and just pretty much the south east united states.

THE REDUX
My Tumblr. Think of it as the etc. section of your filing cabinet. This nifty little blog is the shit, and is where you'll now find the cool shit i stumble on, random pictures I take and other varios miscellany that I know not where to place.

so that's that.

Orlando locals don't forget to check Don't Sleep Orlando as well for complete listings on what's going on around you!

A tiny plastic Container! I must put my head in it!

Why I love cats.

Now that Haloween is over....

We begin to prepare ourselves for the upcoming week. Since i know that most of you don't know the first thing about time management, I decided to give you an early heads up of this week's amazing events.

First of all, here is your list of things to remember:

• Many people love to conserve gas, so call out of work a few days this week so you can get yourself around to all the cool shit going on.
• get plenty of sleep, take naps frequently throughout the day, sneak a snore in your office bathroom, learn to sleep with your eyes open
• start a multi-vitamin regimen. Believe me, you'll need it.

This week, ladies and gentlemen, get ready.

Tonight, Monday November 3:

Pauly Crush has a big heart, really he does. He acts all tough and cool and whatnot, but hes really just a nice guy. And he's proving it tonight, cuz All profits go to the Orlando's Creative School for Children. This is a great time for you to get sloshed for a good cause, so prepare yourself for an other wise frugal and take a few extra dollars with you for the benefit of some kids, yeah?

Get in FREE before 11 by signing up on the CRUSH Guest List before 8pm every Monday. Free Beer and cheap shot specials all night!

Wednesday, November 5thTotally Michael and MC Chris tear it up at The Social, along with Whole Wheat Bread. Doors at 8:00PM, $12.00, All Ages. If youre like me and can't really stand MC Chris, shut up, buy some earplugs and drink heavily. Totally Michael is totally Worth it.

Tickets available at the Social Box Office, the door, and Ticketmaster locations.

I should have an interview with him, so check back for more info on that. Attend the show, rock out, go home and get some sleep (Thursday would be one of those opportune days to call out of work - tell them the you're having manic depressive episodes and you think its because of the election, then sleep all day.


Thursday, November 6th

Remember being 15 and thinking you were the coolest shit in the world cuz you knew the words to peaches? yeah, relive your golden adolescence at the House of Blues with the freaking Presidents of the United States of America and appropriately celebrate the conclusion of the most fucked up election ever (regardless of who wins)

tickets will run you $18.50 - $53.00 and doors are at 7:00pm. All Ages welcome, check the website for info on where to buy tickets.

Friday, November 7th
Now, all that sleeping and not driving yourself to work pays off. Because Friday, you should drive your happy ass over to my hometown to hang out with the I Heart Comix crew at the Vagabond. Franki will once again roll through town with Toxie and Clayton in tow pretty much guaranteeing a night of debauchery for the rest of us.

Remember last time they were around? You do, vaguely. Maybe you shouldn't get so trashed at parties. Or maybe you should since it makes for entertainment for the rest of us.

See past Franki and Toxie galleries Here, Here and Here.

Saturday, November 8th
I strongly advise you sleep till at least 3 or 4 pm, eat a good nutritious meal (La Caretta and Taco bell are NOT considered nutritious) like around 5:50 and then get ready to head to Heathrow at 10 for MotherFucking Crookers.

Hosted by Bronques (yeah, that last night's party dude) and featuring our very own Pauly Crush, its bound to be a freaking fiasco, since a good chunk of O-town seems to be making the trip. Look for a write-up from Smile Contributor Vegas coming soon!

As always, KColl and I will be out and about, and for updates, interviews and whatever the hell else i feel like posting, you can always go check Smile For Camera!

So for now, let us share a moment of silent reflection, while we prepare ourselves for a fun fun intensive week!

BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!

WTF?!

NaNoWriMo, Graduation, The Slow Season

It has been a long month. October is one of those months were things just happen, and this year it was no different. My birthday, Atmosphere, Yelle, Kevin's Birthday, Midterm Assignments, sometimes it gets hard to keep up.

This month i have joined an international group of writers that have insanely vowed to draft a 50 thousand word novel in one month. I'm beginning to think i may have gotten myself in way over my head. Not in capability, I'm well aware that If i really applied myself that i could do, but more so in time. I have no time.

I am currently:
-Working on what will end up being a 2000 word analysis of Robert Penn Warren's All the king's men
-Critiquing, oh i dont know, a ton of freaking student stories
-probably doing at least 2 interviews this month
-A couple of freelance writing assignments
-A full time 40 hour per week job

Anyways, I'm juggling my time incredibly well, organizing and managing my priorities like you have no idea.

The best part of all this: I couldn't be happier.

The worst part of all this: Work is very slow.

why this is bad: I spent a large portion of my time sitting in a desk. It is long and tedious and incredibly time consuming. Because it is very slow, i end up spending large portions of my time trying to find something engrossing to do. I write emails, i will soon start attacking a list of phone numbers, I do my shit, a and i still have tons and tons of nothing to do time.

As a result, my tumblr gets a lot of activity. As do my fingers. Carpal Tunnel here I come.

Melo out.
