Doing the Ipod Scuttle and how does myspace know who I know?

Myspace.com the international phenomenon and scourge of the earth now has a feature called "people you may know." Which is a direct rip off from facebook.com. But my facebook account is only 1 friend deep. I never use it. My Myspace account is a little deeper. And when I click on "people you may know." I know all of them. There are like 50-60 people there who I know. I don't may know them, I absolutely know them. I'm just not friends with these people on Myspace. How does Myspace know who I know? It's convenient but scary.

I got an Ipod Shuffle today. It's the first product I've ever owned from Apple. And I'm really impressed. I'm impressed with the fact that with just the click of a button it is automatically filled up. I am not however impressed that the product was assembled in China. I think it's going to change my life. I'm going to be able to patch it into the sound board at work when I'm working. It's going to make me jog around the park, I just know it.

Its got this neat little clip on it, and it really holds up well. It took a little mustard to get it off of my sweater today. I was testing to see how fragile the clip is, and it's not fragile at all. I was the one who was fragile.

I don't really like how it forces you to use the Itunes program. I've never been a big fan of that program. It took my computer about an hour to "import" all 15,000 of my mp3s. I wish it would just let me view the directory without using Itunes, but that's a marketing firm for you. I bet I could hack it, but it's not really a priority.

I know I'm so behind the times. I'm probably the last person to get an Ipod. You're probably reading this thinking to yourself... "welcome to the year 2004."

At work tonight while using the little tiny device, we started calling it a scuttle, and it sort of stuck. So now it's called the Ipod Scuttle. :)

I got a raise. I got a 7% raise. Which in this economy is huge. I still make slightly more than a homeless person, but it's getting better. I think I'm going to have to relocate to advance with this company. Which is kind of exciting, because I could use a new scene. But it's kind of scary because while I'm not thriving in Sacramento, I am nice and safe here.

Every time when I think about moving, I think about all of these reasons not to do it. But honestly the more I process it, it's not that bad of an idea. My company is world wide. I could move to any state I wanted to. I've really just got to make a decision and go for it. And be open to it, and jump off the cliff and fall.

I want to move somewhere where they do a lot of lighting. Corporate lighting, stage and theater lighting and everything else. Every time I get my hands on an opportunity with some lights and some creative license I come through huge.

I wish someone like a really good friend, or one of my parents, or one of my mentors would just tell me where to go. That would make it so much easier. Then there would be a reason to pick a place.

It's going to be so weird being the boss. I guess it's all pretty weird anyway. Putting on these suits and ties everyday, and coming back. So if it's going to be weird, and I'm going to be doing it anyway I might as well go ahead and get paid.

That's enough rambling for one night. I haven't written a funny blog in a while have I? It's coming soon I can feel it in my funny bones.
