Bikeman

BIKEMAN....[I misspelled your name on thatm thread]Dude,it was really good to hear from you today and sorry I couldnt talk long.I did save your number so I will call you after the hollidays.Theres a resturant off 290 called "The Red Onion" that has the best Mexican food in town.I dont drink but they are supposed to have killer Margaritas.Im so hustling for work right now its hard for me to do anything social but I definitely want to meet you.
Im sorry If I sounded abrubt but I was in traffic and this lady behind me was trying to pick a fight but Im in one of my "spritual moods"...you know the one;where you get into the other lane theyr'e trying to pass you from and then drive real slow.Later,Guy
You sound good.Being clean looks good on ya.
for a minute there I thought I was hallucinating. Now I see you started two threads..LOL
Tim,

sorry I am just now getting back to you, but I have been working on a few local gigs this week. Tis the season ya know. Just now getting home from one very boring corporate Christmas party. The stuck-up snobs are just not my kind of people, but if it can get me work I'll drink their wine. The company I work for has decided to piss away 20K and send us all to Mexico next week, so we'll have to have that mesican chow when I get back. I know that seems confusing because I work for a production company yet freelance as a touring sound engineer. I called my terms when I hired with these hacks...I can leave and do a tour whenever I want and they don't have to payrole me while I'm gone. This is good for me because I pretty much get to set my own hours and do whatever I want. Definitely not a millionare, but I have peace and 'That's the way uh huh, I like it'....
lol

you two crack me up.

Enjoy Mexico, bikeman. What abouts?
mornin' cowgirl,

Yes, the morons that run this joint have been hitting the pipe once again and have decided that we all need a break. So, they figured that we didn't travel enough this year, hence the trip to Mexico for frivolity. We are getting on a cruise ship Saturday morning and then sail for Cozamel. Didn't that place get wiped-out by a hurricane??? I would rather have the money in my pocket, but I guess the Einsteins here have decided that we don't need money for Christmas and what we really need is a week long drunk fest. Makes me wanna puke!
Yea, I really feel sorry for you that you have to get on a cruise ship and go to someplace warm and beautiful and that you get to have anything your little heart desires on that ship....you poor baby.


LOL

I get what your saying, but it is what it is....enjoy yourself. Make the best of it and get a tan.

We usually go to Mexico every year for Christman but the last two have been a bust. Had to stay home to take care of ailing parents. This is their way of getting even with us for acting like little s***s when we were teenagers.

Maybe I could go in your place? I'm really little, I could fit in a suit case?
CG,

might take you up on that. I could feed the horses and you can talk some sense into our management while you work on that tan...

I will probably go mountain biking in the jungle there in Cozamel. That's fun for me.
See? There you go..a solution. Not many horses left to feed here but we have some amazing mountain biking trails.

Oh, and I think I could probably sort out the management. And get a wonderful tan.
Hey Bikeman:

One of my accounts left for a cruise out of Ft Lauderdale hit coz Mexico the cruise people told them not to waste there time as there is nothing left.

This was last week. Hopefully they get a beach cleared for you all.

good Luck--Jeff
Yea, but the sun is still there....and it's not here.
Jeff,

Ah, those sons-a-bi$@!*...ya see all the lies that get pitched at us. Just like our management to dangle the carrot and feed us crap. I like working on my own so much that I may have to evaluate going back to it full time (freelance). My lady would not like it at all, but the peace of mind is so worth it...

So, Cozamel is hammered? I thought so...Sigh!
"Bikeman quotes-but the peace of mind is so worth it.."......................................................and thats exactly where I had to get to.I made 3 to4x times the money I make now but Im a different person.I talked a couple of weeks ago about having a bout with insomnia but man I used to live with it.If I got 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night,I was lucky.Its a hard choice to make when your young but give me peace of mind over anything now.Sobriety is helping me with that too.It will never be a world free of problems or difficult people but today I have the choice to put all my ctreative abilities to
clients I really like.To be able to look forward to seeing a client in the morning before they leave for work and actually enjoy the visit with them is nothing short of a miracle for me.
I use to hide from them like a kid.They would call me and ask me if I was at their house and Id say "yes, cant you see me in the back yard"?Id be at home lining out some oxy's.
I also like that feeling I get looking at them in their eyes and asking them if everything Im doing for them is what they want.
Yeah, getting sober is the only thing I can contribute that to.

Youre getting there Bikeman.You may do the rat race a bit longer but you will start that cycle where your personal peace will rule.It doesnt mean you have to live in poverty.You could even make more money.If your lady is true,she will stay behind you 100%
