update

 this year hasn't quite lived up to my aspirations of unbridled success and accolades.  
(not quite ready to call bullshit on "the secret" but they forgot to mention
the part where it takes forever).
it seems to be a year of small succcesses eked out one at a time. 
my plate is quite full at the moment but like a
 surrounded general i fight on. 
yes, dear reader, i am in the shit, but i am heavily armed and i struggle hard.
mistakes made, lessons learned, and other shoes dangling precipitiously, 
i forge on.

 
i don't think i got scammed on ebay (even though i thought i did when the title for the truck i bought was delayed almost 2 months, i fired off a demand letter and everything).
i didn't burn my apartment down in a drunken frozen pizza bake
(even though my smoke detector batteries were dead, and i really wanted that pizza).
i won a trial last week (a bench trial, not quite as pimp as a full jury affair).
my florida vacation was amazing, wrestling alligators in the everglades, kicking it with the family unit in key west.  

winter music conference is coming.  for those who don't know,
1000's of electronic music fans decend
on miami for a week-long debauch.  it should be wild.
