Buddy and I are taking a trip to Corpus Christi today. I'm pretty sure we're moving soon and we want to go check out the city. We got a cheap hotel room but we're only going to stay tonight. We want to get an idea of what there is to do there, look at a few apartments and houses and get an overall idea of the livability of the city. We're both excited! It's nice to know we're ALMOST out of the Valley. Just a few more weeks and it's "Hasta La Bye-Bye".
Oh, and I haven't been blogging much because, well, I'm dumb. We had a fantastic trip to Toronto earlier this month and I'll talk all about it when I feel like I have more time. In all honesty, I have plenty of time now, I'm just lazy. Maybe I'll make Buddy drive to Corpus and work on it in the car. *grin*
Ok, bye :)

To publish or not to publish ...
I've been wondering about taking this to another place by recording myself reading my blog and posting it (or rather a link to it) on here. I don't know why I would do that, I think it just might be fun. I mean, what some people say is true; I love the sound of my own voice.
I'm trying to figure out where I would upload and store the files to link them on here. So far I've found a few places I could do it for free, but the storage space is limited. I could pay a few bucks a month but I'm not sure if I'm that committed to doing this yet. Maybe we'll see after we lower our cell phone bill and stop with the gym, which is on the agenda after Toronto.
The other issue I have is that I write and speak in two distinctively different voices. I can say all the words I write, but they don't necessarily sound natural coming out of my mouth. That will actually take more conscious effort than I think it will. As it stands, I think I have some sort of filter that amplifies my vocabulary when it is published by my fingers and somehow shuts off when I'm using my mouth. Maybe it is because speech happens so much faster than typing so I have those extra few milliseconds to generate a better word. Or maybe I'm full of crap and know nothing about what I'm saying. Either way, I have to change how I write. Or maybe I'll change the way I speak? I'm not sure.
Perhaps it isn't too late to get into voice over work someday. I know I need practice in reading copy and adding personality to it. I've talked about and explored doing it before but I had seemingly given up on it. Well, I didn't. I think technology and the accessibility of software (like what came on Buddy's Mac) makes the idea more realistic. I need to do more research and study though. I'll have to start some self-education on mixing and self-starting. I'm not quitting my job or anything silly like that, but it is something I can look at for the future.
I have SO many things I want to do. I'm sure it seems erratic to someone looking in. In my own mind, it's the same themes that keep resurfacing. I want to learn languages, I want to read books, I want to learn to play the piano, I want to be fantastically successful with my job, I want to have a healthy body, I want to make money with my voice ... I really wish I could either give up sleep or add to the number of hours in a day! Well, here's to trying it all. :)
