Don't really have too much of an update on my life, but I figured that I might as well provide one anyway. Things are pretty much as they've been for awhile, other than the fact that I am lagging behind at work now. I've spent too much time slacking and it's finally caught up with me. I'm starting to freak out a bit, not only because of the workload, but also because of job security. We've lost three pretty big clients in the last three weeks. Luckily, some of them we will have for a bit longer, so it's not like they're instantly at the door... but either way, our bottom line is hurting and the President announced today that down the road it will have an effect on staffing. Luckily we do have two new clients in the mix now too, but they're not as big as the ones we lost.
I am still waiting to hear back on the interview I had before Memorial Day. They say they should have something by the end of the week - the fact this is dragging out pretty much tells me I won't get the job though... which is unfortunate because I'm really getting sick of what I'm doing at my current job (at least it's a nice change from hating it because of my coworkers, right?)
On another note, my friend Dale came over on Sunday and we spent the day putting together a tag team mix. It's a little short for a tag team and the mixes aren't completely flawless, but overall it's a good enough product to release to the public. I definitely can say that I enjoyed putting together the promotional e-flyer for it though! And here it is: Duel on the Decks: DSM vs Cloudkicker Round One!
I also have another mix featuring just myself in the works, it's just about done, I can't wait! It's a lot darker than the mix Dale and I made - more a long the lines of my current mixes. I also put together a custom intro for the new mix by recording audio samples from my The Crow DVD and spliced different pieces together. If you feel like taking a listen, here is the intro (I'll post the mix later once it's finalized ;))
Not that I can call myself a budding photographer, but I've always had a closet passion for snapping pics. I once brought up being a photographer to my mom, yeah... that didn't go over well. She cited my dad's schizophrenic brother's unsuccessful dabbling in photography as reason to why I shouldn't even THINK about pursuing the craft. She was livid, I was young... end of story: no formal photography training for Nick, only a dream.
Last weekend was one of the best parties I've been to in a long while. The vibe was excellent, music was good (for the most part) and it was nice to release and have a good time. I often find myself stressing out or spending too much of my time reminiscing about "back in the day." Being in better spirits on Saturday allowed me to make my rounds and try to get some good pics on my unsophisticated piece of equipment. I snap with the Casio Exilim EX-Z70 - not a heavy duty camera by any means, but it's small and compact. It fits wonderfully in my pocket when it's not in use, so it's great for an amateur like me. Here are some of my favorites from Saturday:
Every week at Kazmos I try to make sure I take plenty of pictures, a service to our DJs if you will. We don't make enough money to pay them (they get a couple free drinks) so I figure I'll try to catch their best side as thanks for coming down to play for us. I finally uploaded a bunch that have been sitting on my camera for awhile, and figured I'd showcase my "talent" - I'm pretty content with how some of them came out!
