Oh I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker ..

..In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late and to a world that doesn’t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair…..

Ok, so if you haven’t actually HEARD the song.. you think I’m nuts right about now, eh? Ok - maybe you thought I was nuts to begin with. That works, too. If you’re curious at all - you can watch it:


Sandi Thorn - I Wish I was a Punk Rocker

That song has been running through my grey matter for the past 3 days solid now. I’m trying to figure out my feeling of connection with this song. Hmm.

Could be that I’m swamped.. literally buried up to my eyebrows with work, at the same time, I’m smack dab in the middle of a massive overhaul and redesign of E.Webscapes - - which was a REAL smart thing to do considering my current work load at the moment. So, I’m working on client projects during the day - and pouring my soul into my redesign for E.Webscapes and kicking the hell outta WordPress and back during the night, and wee small hours of the morning.

On top of that - I have this …thing… looming. Not something I can talk about . . yet! But, it’s pretty damn exciting and if it goes through, then my life is about to change extensively over the next several months. Now, I know what you’re thinking…. Hmm.. newlywed of .. what? .. 5 months? Still in the honeymoon phase… I know! She’s pregnant!

Ha! Stop thinking it cuz it’s not true - - don’t you know that’s how rumors start? That’s not the kind of life change I speak of. It’s a different life change and if this goes through the way I hope, and think it will - then I will be able to discuss it freely come mid to end of December. For now, just keep your fingers crossed for me, k?

So, I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair….. because, right now? That sounds better, by LEAPS and BOUNDS, than the current predicament I’m in at this very moment. Today. Stressed. Overworked. Crazy busy. But, still happy. And social.

Demented and sad… but social. (can you name the movie WITHOUT Googling it?)

    [...] I need the vacation, though - that’s for sure. Not so long ago, I mentioned something about how my life could change drastically over the next several months and I found out today that it’s actually going to happen. I’m still not mentioning it until the signature ink is dry on the contract - but it’s a good thing, really. I’m excited, nervous and scared all at the same time and will be able to mention more about it in the coming days. So, I think this vacation will be my last one, at least for the 6-8 months anyways. [...]

    [...] On November 15th, I posted about a potential… thing … that may drastically change my life for the next several months. I also stated that I didn’t want to mention it publicly until the contract was a sure thing. For any of you who crossed your fingers and thunk good thoughts, as I asked - I thank you. The contract is now, officially, a sure thing - and I’ve word from the Powers-That-Be™ that I can now make it public and official. [...]
