I mean I really think you like me...
This is my ukulele cover of First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes. The original is one of my favorites by Bright Eyes. It's a song deserving of a hug, and really good warm hug. Conor Oberst has this defeated, drunken, shaken, saddened voice that makes me feel sorry for him. When I found the chords to the song, I was ecstatic to learn it, but was surprised so many people already covered it on youtube. hahaha. Spontaneous collective consciousness? But anyway, there's a lot of good covers out there too, way better than my meek attempt.

Two of the larger design/effect houses closed this past week. It shakes up all those in the design field here in the bay. With a design staff up in the hundreds being let go, the market will be flooded with creatives trying to get jobs and freelance gigs, and most likely for lowered price. This affects how projects are handled, produced, and ultimately will trickle down to changes in the way our company works.
I just had my annual review today. I am thankful that I wasn't let go. With the current state of the global economy, I can feel the tension and anxiety in everything I come across. From coffee shops to corporate offices. All our lives will change because of it, and it's only a matter of time.
Even the heavenly bodies say so. Pluto transitioned from idealistic Sagitarius to conservative and practical Capricorn in November 2008. Pluto rules death and rebirth, breaking down of institutions and structure for new beginnings. With it in realistic Capricorn, we'll see lots of institutional changes, lifestyle changes, governmental shifts towards a more conservative structure. Practicality, stability, and reality are some of the key traits of Capricorn, and we can expect life in general to steer that way. It will stay that way until 2024, a sixteen year journey. Hopefully when Uranus square Pluto in Capricorn in 2012 the upheaval won't be too damaging, so hold on tight.

aw, love the video.
Well, that was too adorable. I was smiling all the way until just after the 2:00 minute mark when you smiled, and then I started laughing! You looked like a little kid on stage who was forcing himself to finish his song.
As for all that astrology stuff, it's hard for a rational person to believe, except everything they say about Geminis (which is what I am) is so true! The Chinese zodiac also says that this is a year of slow, steady reconstruction. Is this all a coincidence??? Do the Western astrologers and Chinese astrologers get together at a convention hall in Vegas and confer before publishing their predictions?? Kind of scary...
the song is so tender. and your sad singing voice is really good.
