Once more, with feeling!

G

reat job, everyone! But the princess is in another castle!

No, no. With your help, Tally Hall has made it to the Final (and final) round of the MTVu Best Music On Campus Contest. That means your clicking finger has been summoned once more to put in another vote to give Tally Hall a record contract, a life of love, and lots of bling.

Go here: http://www.mtvu.com/contests/best_music_on_campus/2005/spring/
And vote VOTE VOTE! You can still vote as many times as you want. And if you only want to vote once, well that's fine... I guess.

Moving Along

S

chool is coming along smoothly. I've been learning a lot of fun and useful things. Next week I'll finally break my Macromedia Flash hymen as well as learning even more about what Dreamweaver can do. I got a call from Visual Sound who may be using me as one of their freelance graphic and/or web designer. Monday I'll be introduced to my first project for them. I'm excited about that.

In other news, my floors are fairly secured now. The drywall patching it halfway done but it's the fact that I can actually walk around on the floor and not feel like I'm going to fall through to the basement at any given moment that pleases me most. Dan will be moving in come August and he wants to get the attic made into a lounging area. That would be awesome but I fear the trouble getting it looking nice is more work than it's worth. Perhaps I'm being pessimistic, though. I'm more concerned with keeping the temperature at a comfortable level year round. I don't think it'll be place to hang out in the winter months, and how can you have such a lovely little cove and not use it? Maybe I'll buy a couple space heaters or something.... I don't know.

Also, April 30th this town is having a town-wide yard sale. I'll be putting out a million-and-one things and hope to get rid of it all. If you know where I live, come by and buy some stuff. Please. I'll have one of everything. Board games, furniture, old audio/video equipment, knick-knacks, collectibles, records, video games, CDs, comic books, sports stuff, nascar stuff, and much, much more!! Stop on by!

ou can't tell... but this website has been rebuilt with the power of Dreamweaver. How wonderful for me!

Vote For Tally Hall

Hi. I know most of you won't care at all but I gotsta do what I gotsta do. It would mean a lot if you read and obeyed my request below...

MTVu (that's Music Television University) is holding a Best Music On Campus contest at the website:
http://www.mtvu.com/contests/best_music_on_campus/2005/spring/

Tally Hall has made it all the way to the semi-finals (10 bands left) and with YOUR help and YOUR HELP ONLY, Tally Hall can win this contest which will award them a $25,000 record deal with Universal Records. Now, to be fair, I have listened to all the other songs in the competition and I would have still voted for Tally Hall even if I wasn't their #2 zealot. As far as I can tell, the only bands who give them a run for their money is Kiltergrey which has a nice song indeed, but gets boring after about 2.5 minutes and Grizzly Peak has a good one but still doesn't compare to Good Day.

Because I've already done the leg work, all you have to do is click on the link above and vote for Tally Hall by selecting the radio button next to their name and then hit the VOTE button at the bottom of the page. You don't even have to listen to anything. Here... I'll make it even easier by giving you the link again. CLICK HERE and vote for Tally Hall!

DO IT NOW, before you forget!! Do it for you, do it for me, do it for Tally Hall, do it for the music world, do it because you're bored. I don't care why you do it... just do it. Tally Hall and I thank you.

(By the way... you can vote OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again... hint hint)

Get Yourself Fired

Getting fired was probably the best thing to ever happen to me. I'd been working diligently for a couple weeks to get things in order because the unemployment offices hooked me up with CareerLink. It was there I was shown the light. Free money for schooling. $8,000 to be exact. After jumping through a few hoops I got everything straightened out.... and beginning this Tuesday, April 5th, .... I will begin taking a graphic and web design course learning all the things I need to be certified in to get a career in that field. Finally, I would be making decent money and doing something I believe I will enjoy much more than any retail or office job. The course runs into July and hopefully they will be able to place me in a job soon thereafter. I'm finally going back to school.

Having all this time to myself has afforded me a lot of time to contemplate my life and become more focused on the paths I lay before me. I looked around me and made a conscious effort to put the pieces together. I auditioned for a band about a month ago. I was just officially offered the position today. Tentatively called Red Sky, we hope to record a 2 song demo in the near future and begin working on new songs so we can be playing gigs come summer/fall. I've wanted to be in a band again for so long. I missed it. Now, I'm doing it.

I bought an obnoxiously huge couch and coffee table. It's nice to have livingroom furniture again. Tomorrow I'm going to look at plasma TV's. Soon, I'll have a spectacular entertainment center all set up and that's a nice feeling. The house is still crumbling beneath my feet (literally) but hopefully that will be patched up soon.

I have the next round of the karaoke contest May 6th, as you know. I'm not expecting to win, but with the way my luck has been... I just might. Call me a cynical optimist.

I've met a few great people recently. New friends, new things, old friends, old things, and I think I'll be able to serve my purpose in their lives sufficiently.

I'm a little scared, though. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm hit by a bus tomorrow. You know how it goes. But I think I'm not going to think about that anymore. It's the purely negative thinking that just might allow the darkness to seep in quietly through your pores and tear you down from the inside out. Don't get me wrong, I still live in the real world. But this time I'm going to try to allow myself the pleasure of being pleasured by life as it stands.

What if The Pope goes to hell?

Here's to recycling ideas and gifts... but what else can I do? It's the least, yet only thing I can.

My apologies to those awaiting an update for so long. I've got a lot to say, I'm just waiting for a couple more things to fall into place before letting it out. Stay tuned. Real soon.
But know that the karma I wished for is finding me.

Sidebar Hello. I used to have a blog, here, for 6 years up until 2006 when I needed to walk away from it all for a bit. After some time alone and the discovery of Twitter, I've decided to put cozbaldwin.com back into business. Twitter allows me to make brief updates at any time from anywhere. They are the blogs between the blogs. This is especially helpful since I rarely have the motivation to write out entire blogs anymore.
