Grrrrr!!!!

Sometimes ya just gotta wonder, " Is there some kind of force that is out to get you?", a favorite place of mine, Tacoma Tactical Air soft, was shut down by the city. Turns out there was some issues with the building, no fire alarm, sprinklers and some other issues. They are moving to a new location in Fife, but it will be a few weeks before anyone can play. They have to rebuild EVERYTHING they have build in the first building at the new location. You would have thought the city of Tacoma would have inspected the building first! Anyway there are trying to raise some money to make the move faster, I think I will go there and pay for some stuff I ordered early and see if that will help them out.
I do have a 4 day work week, Saturday is the D-Day scenario game at Operation Paintball in Graham, so I took Friday off. Although I am not in shape for an all day war, I am looking forward to this. I do have 3 weeks of paid time off coming, but because of the shift I work, I have to split it up so I can do some fun stuff with the family.
I really wish something close to Summer would get here, I have 3 season passes to Wild Waves I can't use until it warms up, I can handle swimming in this weather, my wife and kid can't.
I am feeling burnt out magic wise, I want to learn new stuff and work on the old stuff,but I don't feel like it. I have a DVD from L&L Publishing on the Ambitious Card coming in, I do want to really work on that effect.
I have shows coming up and don't want to mess them up, especially the busking. I will be at Meeker Days again this year, busking, I didn't get the Kids stage this year, again, this year the stage went to Steve, the pretty good. The city of Puyallup says what I do is too small for the kids stage, I don't do big illusions, however, Steve's show is too big for their stage. He does do a great show and I know he can modify the show to fit their stage, but he will have to leave out several big parts of his show. There other down side is he got the worst time slot to get, the dreaded 8pm slot, the festival ends at 9pm on Saturday. I will be there to watch his show and be there for support, sometimes folks don't know when they are supposed to clap ya know.

I Know It's Been a While....

It has been a while since my last post, the last few weeks I haven't felt like doing anything other than sleep. It may be a side effect of the meds, maybe I am in a rut, I have made an appointment with my doctor to see what's going on. Before things were going down hill a bit, the family and I did have some fun, going to the Spring Fair and Demolition derby. I really got to pull my head out of my ass, I have a paintball D-Day scenario game, the Roy rodeo, and I will be busking at Meeker Days. I need to get into my den and PRACTICE!! my routines or I won't make shit there. I also have some stuff I hope to sell there, really easy magic tricks for kids. I have about 150.00 invested in those tricks, I hope to at least double my money.
