Work in the music industry
changes.. 2 years ago

oh my gosh.. I had the biggest revelation the other week.. I realised that its not my job thats the problem, nor the company, nor the colleagues, nor the long days.. Its actually ME.. shit..

I just am not enjoying my professional life AT ALL! and HOW THE HELL did I end up in IT when I studied developing countries and wanted to work in the bush with empowering women?? among other things..

So, I did some soul searching, and some more soul searching.. and read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to REALLY get those philosophical ideas flowing, and what do you know.. I figured out Im on the wrong path in life!

ARGH! So how do you reverse, or lets say do a 180degree turn in your professional life? Lets just say, Im happy I didnt realise this after 20 years in this business..

Sooo.. I have realised, I would love to work in music.. music music music! being a tour publicist or a label publicist would be fantastic! I want to use my ability or should I say obsession with talking to people in a good way, and get into PR, marketing etc in the music industry.. event organisation, management etc.. Now I just need to sit down and plan this a bit more in detail… ;)

wish me luck!;)

learn to bmx (read all 2 entries…)
Getting there.. 2 years ago

Ok, so I was offered the chance to try a bike last weekend.. and STUPID me had these STUDIP little girly shoes on that are made up of a piece of rubber and some string to attach them to your feet with and which are simply not made for ANY kind of fun.. =( So I had to decline the offer..

Well, at least I now the guy is willing to lend me his bike, thus next time I see him.. mwahaha! I will be ready!

I have been watching BMX videos on the internet lately.. Im quite bored at work and therefore looking for interesting stuff to kill time with, and why not then watch and learn. IN THEORY I think I could do a couple of tricks already.. IN PRACTICE this is a completely other story.. hmm..

I have also checked with my neighbour if he is willing to lend me his bike.. He did seem open to the idea at least..so there is a good chance that when his bike has had its maintenance done he will allow me a few rounds on it.. we shall see..=)

get an ipod
What did I do without it? 2 years ago

This was one of the best buys this month.. I cannot say if it is better than my skateboard or not.. =) But if you combine the two, they are an unbeatable mix!
