      The notification for this must have been filtered because I'm just seeing it now. I believe the only thing I bought that day was beer, so I think I'm good.

      Nobody specific. Most of the frustration in my life is work related, though.

    4. Ang Dezelske

      Everyone, in some small way. Either because they're doing something inspiring or learning from their mistakes.

    5. Ang Dezelske

      Nobody. My only bad influence is myself. Weakness, will power, lazyiness. That credit goes only to me.

      About 7 years ago, back in my Everquest days. When I had a lot less dignity than I do now.

      Website consulting and design services. Or a bookstore/coffeeshop. Both markets are sufficiently flooded so I don't expect to succeed.

      It was a different time, way back in October of 2007, back when we walked up hill both ways through 4 feet of snow.

      It's the Fremont Street Experience in Vegas. I love Vegas. Someone should take me there soon.

      I really like the blues, lights and framing, but the person in that photo was pretty happy, and I like remembering that.

      Ok. We need to break this moment up with something inappropriate.

      I re-submitted this question because I unintentionally left out the obvious: I would love to make a living out of Overheard. I just don't know how.

      I've never been able to pinpoint Just One thing I want to do.

      Ultimately, it's not really the dream job that I'm after, it's the dream environment I crave. I don't mind, and sometimes even enjoy office administration/analyst type work, and I'm really good at it because I've just sort of landed in this type of work over and over again, but what I REALLY want is a warm, creative environment with a small to medium sized group of smart, fun people. The grey cube gossip mill is killing me slowly.

      Now, if money were no object I could see myself opening a cozy coffee shop, the kind with lounge chairs, sofas and a fireplace. It might even be half book store. That just sounds so lovely.

      As to the why not part, it's always one or more of three: Money, Education, or Availability. I got the job I'm in right now through someone I used to know, and had no time to search and be picky because I was living in Salt Lake City and my move was happening fast.

      Money: over the last 4, going on 5, years I've gained a mortgage, a car payment and a life all based on this income, and no longer have the option of accepting a lower wage in exchange for the environment I described, which has usually been the required compromise.

      Availability: The job market blows.

      Education: I never finished college. The lack of a degree makes my resume undesirable to most places I'd be interested in working. I've always done well getting in on the ground and proving myself on my way up. Starting up there in a brand new place is something I'm afraid I won't get to experience.

      Unless you know someone who is hiring.

      Answering formspring questions? I wish!

      If you meant Overheard, sadly, no. However, I am open to the idea of people giving me money to do so.

      That is a serious response to an issue, so I don't believe I'd riot for or against anything that wasn't important in the short or long run.

      I had to discuss this with fellow metalhead Taylor because this is not a simple answer. He said, and I fully agree, that it's tough to pin that label on any one band or group, but if an answer is required, we'd both agree on Black Sabbath.

      Most metal fans will agree that they started it all, and in their nearly 42 year history they have never been sub-par. That's incredible. Also, the band has had two vocalists with completely unique styles and both "versions" of Sabbath were brilliant. That can't even be said about Iron Maiden.

      Although I have no scientific proof to back this up, I'm confident saying that you'd have a hard time finding a metal, or even rock group, that wouldn't call Sabbath a major influence. Their music will never stop being incredibly important.
