Overflow

As the title implies my head is just swimming with too many things. I literally need to write some of it out just to put some order to it and figure out where to go from there. I am a fan of lists compartmentalizing things comes naturally I just normally do it within the confines of my head. There's just no space left for that currently it's all mushing up together and cluttering up the joint.

Years ago I wrote for a living. A small unluxurious living but it got me through and covered Christmas. I had a few clients, mostly dumb shit like penis enlargement ads and hairdressing pros, cons, and tips. The most memorable and probably the only one I was really proud of was a heart surgeon. A kindly doctor who used marketing to raise funds for children who desperately needed surgery but their families could not afford it. I had a good grip on writing though I admit I really hate writing for profit but the bigger foray was into the wonderful world of marketing. To this day my name is still branded in the search engines and a few remnants of the garbage I produced are still floating around the internetz.

It was fairly clear to myself and those within that world that I had potential. Problem is I hate sales. I have to believe in something to really push it. My powers of persuasion are great but useless if I am not a believer. I struggled to find my niche or someone else's niche that I could get behind but it never presented itself. Well years later it dawns on me oh yeah! I can paint. Hey wow if I sat around and put a little effort in I might have a marketable product. Even to date most of whats out there is kiddy, digital, or still life. All have their place in the scheme of things but I know what I'm capable of and I believe it's sellable. I can't say I'll ever be an Elmore or a Vallejo but it could be possible to have a little recognition.

To do that I have to wrap my head back around business. All skills I have they're just a little dusty. Before I can even really do that I need to dump some of the overflow off my chest. All the little things I can't say, the pent up frustration, anger, and loneliness. There is nobody to listen, most are too busy doing the talking. So this is my attempt to cauterize the gash and stop the bleeding, Maybe then I can pull myself out of the ditch again. Another journey begins here, those of you curious or bored are welcome to read along but you can expect a lot of emotion and unbridled aggressive from the hip thoughts hot off Kij0's keyboard.

Request and tagging

So this is really just a filler blog to establish social networking requirements. I have to add things like code so places like Technorati and other ping sites know I'm back in the blog. I would like to take this opportunity to invite readers to join/follow via email or registration if you would like to follow this particular blog. Later I will create an art blog with my paintings and info for public consumption and this blog will be restricted to friends as I don't want to air it all out to all my prospective clients. (The millions of adoring fans!)

This is the real me, the not perfect me, the public me is far more professional and flawless for obvious reasons.I won't be making the registration change right away because it will take some time to get the art blog sorted. Mainly because I really need to scan my work as opposed to terrible cell pics if I have any hope of eventually selling anything.

I also strongly invite you to comment and join in. I know, I know, it's so much easier to just talk on Facebook but if you could take the time to open this link you could just as easily shoot the shit with me here. This way my tantrums are far less public and I can be happy jovial Laurel over on stalkerbook.
