I realize that I did not announce a mourning period the last time I posted, but I did not want to post anything here for a while. I thought on this, the one month anniversary of my mother’s death, I should post something to let my friends online know what has transpired with me in the time since I last posted.
It has been a time of deep reflection about my current situation in life. For some time now I have lived in a very depressed state because of the situation I was living in with mother’s cancer and my own health issues. I am continuing to have very serious health issues and I am trying to work things out but frankly I am having a difficult time getting it all together.
I also have had a major financial catastrophe occur and can no longer keep the apartment mother and I had moved to here just prior to her death. I have communicated with the management here and they are very understanding of my situation but they also have to do what they have to do so we are fast approaching an impasse which has dire consequences for myself. In short, I am on the path to eviction and I am seeking new accomodations to move to in the very near future.
This has precipitated a Total Life Assessment on my part and has me thinking about making several drastic changes. First, since I may not have much choice in the matter, I may have to move to an extended stay suite hotel until I can afford more affordable quarters for myself. Second, with my health issues and needs in mind, I may look into a long term care situation to place myself for a short while just so I can get a grip on my issues. Third, I may take some radical steps regarding my primary health issue of the morid obesity by investigating some of the long term programs and experimental treatment options out there.
Mind you, this is all theory at this point as my situation is just that dire and fluid. If I can locate accomodations quickly, if I can get home health care set up and can get involved in a new regimen I may be able to avoid any drastic measures on my part. However, the financial calamity I spoke of earlier is rather significant because I now must make due on my meager Social Security Disability payments. Believe me, it’s not enough to live on, I must find other income quickly to supplement my finances.
On that note, I am reviving my efforts to market Layman Media services to clients in need of audio/video production, web design and development, content creation, web marketing and political Internet consulting advice and services. I have established a web presence for Layman Media on MySpace and have begun marketing myself as a Digital Music Service provider, a kind of DJ for the legal Napster age. I have always turned to DJ work in my darkest hour throughout my life, so if you need a good music man for your event or party and are within easy travel distance of Indianapolis or willing to pay my travel expenses to your locale, send me an email and I will show up ready to entertain.
On the political side of my life I have decided to channel my thoughts and efforts through the establishment of my new blog Monticello. I am still going to be part of the Roots Project, whenever that takes off. I was forced to pull the plug on my involvement in the SRP Newsweekly podcast project because of my need to focus my attention on the previously mentioned financial crisis, but also that podcast was originally intended to be about the Roots Project and instead became something I did not intend for it to become, a nationally focused news program that the team I had recruited was busting their ass to put together each week.
We did a pretty good job, but I could see it was stressing everyone out (including myself) so rather than continue with that and let the stress and strain get to us as a team I felt ending it before it began to take more of our time would be the best solution for all. This however has left a gaping hole in my life, because I don’t like to use this blog for political stuff and I need an outlet for my political life, so Monticello is born to give a home to my political writings.
SO thats what I’ve been up to for the past month. If anyone has some work to throw my way, I am offering my services at a discount poverty avoidance rate for the next few months. You can always reach me via email at finifinito@gmail.com or via comments left here on the blog. Be sure to drop by the Monticello blog, and don’t forget to vote on November 7th for your Democrat or Libertarian candidates.
