SO i’m going to get back into blogging. Mostly since I rarely remember what I’ve done from day to day. SO i figure if I get an offline blog editor then that might help me out. I’m lazy after all and if you know me at all I’m a sucker for new apps as much as I am for gadgets.

let the good times roll.

I’m sorry but I’m going to say no…

if you know me at all, then you know I have a real problem that consumes my life. Day in and day out. What is it you ask? Well I have a hard time saying no to people I like. People that ask me for help usually get it. Somebody needs a blog? I usually host it. Portfolio site? I’m usually building it. Want me to teach you something, I usually will. The one problem with all of this is that my time for myself easily gets left by the wayside, personal projects get put on a backburner that seems to stretch into the distance, never moving up in the que.

I’m struggling to find a way to keep myself and people I care for happy. It’s a tough road but I think from here on out, I need to help myself first, others second. There are plenty of things I wish I would have done by now. Some simple, others requiring my attention for a longer period of time.

What happens now? Whats the plan?

Plan is to take everything that is currently on my plate and get rid of it, finish it. Kill it and bill it so to speak. While this happens I’ll make structured plans to get my personal projects in order so I can accomplish them at a steady pace.

I’ve realized that I’ve done alot for others but not much for myself in the last few years. I need to be greedy and try and make myself happy by doing the things I spend time dreaming about. Making myself happier is the ultimate goal, that happiness fed by the accomplishments I feel I need to do.

Sorry to say that I can’t help you, I need to help me…

Im both back and lazy

So I’ve been back from NYC for a couple of days and while I took great strides to manually blog my days in my moleskin I’ve yet to make them digital nevermind the fact that I’ve yet to download my photos.

In short NYC was amazing I can’t wait to go back it’s something we need to do more often (go to NYC) I’ll hopefully get to the NYC blog update right after I get the new FrancoShade theme online… I’m about 50% done right now.

So more in a bit.

Nyc in 2

On Friday I’ll be (along with Jen) will be returning to NYC for the first time since emily came about. Jen will rock the dance teacher conference while I tackel the big apple all by myself for a small part of the trip. Planned stops for me are various shops I don’t have in Toronto, canal street and maybe even the shaolin temple.

Honestly can’t wait to go and even tho we’ll be without the embot I’ll try and make the most of it despite missing my little one. Um. That’s about it. Work is crazy busy. Just upgraded the lappy to leopard and should be able to sort out the frsh blog on about a week once I get back home.

Talking about myself

This morning at our creative re-group I had to stand up in front of the class and tell my peers and the people at the main agency who I was and how I got to where I’m at today.

here are my notes, I dont really like talking infront of people and especially about myself but I’m told it went well… these were my cliffs notes to make sure I didnt forget anything, typed on my treo from the train ride home the night before.
