Finally, after 100 years of telling myself, friends and family that I was going to have a web page– taddaaa!! Here it is. Of course, only after a buddy cornered me and said “BY WHEN?” Before Thanksgiving weekend was my reply. I did some jumping through hoops to get this thing rolling. I really had no clue as to how to get a web page going . I did do some research and saw how the blog was the easiest to do. Do this, do that, badda bing- badda boom, free wordpress, web hosting under ten bucks…and we’re in business!! AHEM, not that easy!! But here we are.
I am the KING of the procrastinators. The title of this post -of course is all sarcasm, I don’t really use “big” words like apropos but it does have some snoot to it. So “apropos” for a KING! After all these years -a challenge , a deadline, a “BY WHEN?” made me hustle- even as I dragged my beehind at first, when the deadline drew closer I sweated to make it happen. Now, that’s not to say I began blogging. The date on this post may or may not say Feb. 23, 2010, but this is the actual post date. I did just enough to save face with my buddy back in November!
Reality! A weekend of house hunting with no money-how “APROPOS”!! My S.O. (significant other) and I drove around looking at beautiful homes. !!!600K WHAT!!!!!! I’m broke as a joke. AH YES!! reality. All the gurus say there’s money to be made on the internet- let’s start blogging. As I’ve subscribed to many blogs and other opportunities I realize that almost every Email or update I receive “looks” like a sales pitch of some sort!! I thought -wouldn’t it be refreshing for a subscriber to receive an update that was more like an E mail from a friend, an E mail that has actual value! Genius!!
So what am I trying to say? Procrastination=BAD! Deadline and accountability=GOOD! Busywork=BAD! Results=GOOD! Selfishness=BAD! Generosity=GOOD!
Procrastination will steal money, time and life from you! Don’t let it! Find a friend. A close friend but not too close, someone you respect and desire to be respected by and get a “BY WHEN?” from them on your next project. Don’t just be busy or do the bare minimum-let’s get moving! Let’s get results!! Last but not least, let’s remember how we like to be treated and consider treating others in the same manner. Nobody likes the feeling that they are trying to be sold or taken advantage of.
Don’t we all desire “the good” in life for ourselves and our loved ones? What a great motivator to start something new with a potential for greatness!! We’re all moving towards the same things more money , more time , MORE LIFE!
Are we going to stop procrastinating??? BY WHEN??!!
Bottoms-up enjoy ur beer!! KZ

Yo,
Slum Dog! Guess who? I read what you wrote and not bad. It’s like writing in a diary book except the world has an access door.
I’m still working on you midi equipment. I finally got sounds to play out of the Cakewalk sequencer. I think you’ll enjoy doodling around in this midi world and once you get the hang of it, you might even expand. We’ll see-dog. Anyway-good blog and no failures.
