CSI Insurance, Hatebreed, The Destro and Life Is Stressful, But What's New?
It's times like this when my endurance is tested. I'm going through a lot right now, mentally, physically and financially. I'm not the only one in my immediate surroundings that are going through the same thing as well. I'm making a huge change in my life and it's a very hard and expensive one but I know it will make everyone around me a little happier.
I have so much work on my plate I sometimes don’t know even if the day was 100 hours long if I would complete any of my work. With the economy being so terrible right now I have had to cut my freelance rate so much it's stupid. I have taken on more work to overcome the rate change and in turn I am as busy as ever, but that's a great thing! It's Wednesday and I already have 40 hours clocked at work, I have worked at least another 20 on top of that, and literally have gotten about 12 hours of sleep this week.
I could sit here and list all of the terrible things that are happening in my life but where would that get me? I don't need anyone to feel sorry for me because those are the kind of people who make me lazy...
I work with one of the best people in this whole world. Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) has been such an influence on my work ethic and my determination to make things happen for me and the people around me. Things could always be worse than they are so I must live every day and be thankful for what I have worked hard to achieve and what I will work even harder to overcome in the future days ahead of me.If you knew his story you would appreciate everything you have just a little bit more. Hopefully he will share some of that stuff in the book he is writing.
Hatebreed is leaving for tour tomorrow, make sure you catch them in early July here in the US. Their new album is complete, so this year should end on a great note!
The Destro CD artwork is almost done, I know I have been saying this for a month but this time I really mean it. I can't wait for people to see this album and hear it too, it's amazing all the way around.
I have also recently been inspired by a client of ours at work whom my friend and old "bossman" works with now, James Chippendale. He is a cancer survivor and you must go read his story. Here is a link to a good article I found online.
If I get lazy and quit I let a lot of people down and right now that's not an option. It really never has been. I don't even have time to write this blog so what the hell am I doing? Back to work!
