General »   The Official Self Loathing Thread

This is the official thread to give yourself credit for something you've done recently. Don't be afraid to brag, that's exactly what this post is about. What is something you have accomplished lately. Might be with work, music, something you've created, a relationship you've built, spiritual journey, etc.

Go.

we shot the commercial for rockband2 this past tuesday and wednesday...when I showed up to check out the shoot, they put me in one of the bands as an extra....will post pics soon

I bought my first car.

i landed a job as the art director for a international aid non-profit out of boone. in the process of re-doing their website, everything etc. this is not full time, i dont make much money with them at all. i'm actually in the process of applying for some design agency jobs (any suggestions would be awesome). so yeah this is pretty lame so far....WELL here is the self loathing part--they are in the process of setting up the budget/ fundraising for a documentary project that myself and two others will head. right now they are looking at february as the send off for a 4-6 month trip including ethiopia, uganda, sudan, india, cambodia, haiti. we will be capturing the projects they complete and the impact being made in each community.

super pumped

I dd'd for some friends last night. Kind of a last minute thing but made me feel like I was saving a life. So yea me.

what band

basically the rockband2 spot is a bunch of different bands playing at the same time to the same song.....they put me and 3 pa's into the "indie" band.....who were all a bunch of williamsburg hipsters anyway so i guess it worked out....pay no attention to my dumbass rick roll'd pants

wes - thats awesome.
ill be honest - lately ive had nothing big to brag about
went to bristol but my setup was way off and couldnt ever get it dialed in - nothing to brag about.

notice that all wes' "bandmates" have shaggy hair and scruffy looking beards.

Not wes. No way. You don't see wes conforming to the williamsburg swagger and style.

Good job man. Keep it real, but most importantly keep it clean.

hahaha, foothills was never the same

This is going to sound very materialistic but it's more based off the "norm" and not necessarily what i believe in. I never graduated college but for some reason i get to make multi million dollar desicions at my job and i get paid enough so that my wife is able to stay home with our kid full time.

I'm pretty stoked that i recently got to get everyone that works for me a good decent raise and got them into a higher pay category so they have a higher pay ceiling.

Even though I moved across the country i'm still being able to fulfill my responsibilities with some of the volunteering that i was doing in NC.

so josh, don't you believe that you are holding your wife down into the same oppresion that women have been going through for centuries (taking care of the kid, doing house work)?

na, i'm playing. i wish i could make enough for my wife to stay home. that would be awesome. and congrats josh on your daughter. hope she doesn't turn out spoiled like my 4 year old boy.

PICS!! GARRETT, PICS!

We talkin a vinyl wrap type job?

Cool yeah that's what I was wondering. Might have to do the same soon.

especially for an amateur seamstress(no offense) thats really not a bad job at all garrett

oh, and beeson - thank you. im sorry, i feel like a jackass, i shouldve thanked you at the beginning, im sorry. but seriously, thanks man, i appreciate the kind words

thank you
i fully encourage anyone to try small projects on their own.
it feels so good to do something yourself plus you got a few extra bucks in your pocket to do whatever else you want with.

but thats one thing thats a pet peeve of mine with the car scene, many kids just write checks, dont build squat. they call them 'custom cars' but yet its all out of an internet catalog. thats not custom.
yeah, sometimes it sucks doing something yourself (or for someone), but its so rewarding in the end.
