If you know me, you know I have one passion in the world... audio and lighting. It has been a true source of joy and escape in both my personal and professional life.
Right out of high school I worked at a resort that did 11 live shows a week in the 800-seat theatre, along with several other shows in different venues. We had a world-class recording facility, massive music library and thousands of costumes. It was probably one of the most exhilarating jobs I ever had. Granted, I was very young (20) and opened my mouth one day and ended up losing my contract. But it was a great job. Middle of the cornfield, no cable TV, just a great place with great people.
Well, 12 years later I am trying to go back to that job, but in a different capacity. Things have changed considerably, as now they book major acts in (Mark Lowry, Gold City, The Lettermen, etc) and I would be more of an Entertainment Director than a tech. I would still have the same joy of tinkering with some really cool tools, but I would be more of a manager than just a tech. And after the Navy years and management years I know I could do the job.
Pray that God shows his favor in the path I should take.

My New Years Resolution
I have several things to accomplish this year, so I guess I will get started:
1. Lose 50 pounds. Since I started working in the office full time a year ago, I have lost all physical discipline and have really balooned up. That needs to change, so I am going to lose 50 pounds by July 4th, so this year I can run away from the exploding tubes during the fireworks show that I couldn't get away from last year.
2. Get a more rewarding job. I like my job, but the 50 hours a week and the 20 hours extra driving are really starting to get to me. So I am working on getting back to the tech side, either audio or video somewhere.
3. Prioritize my family. I live to work, not work to live. That will change.
4. Enjoy my hobbies more. Saxophone, bass guitar, sound, car racing... these are passions that have been ignored in 2008.
5. Keep in touch with friends. I have 4 very good friends, Krista, Erin, Gene and Chris. I have not talked to them hardly at all this year.
6. Apologize to some other people that I didn't mention above.
So there it is... I will keep you posted.
