Oooh.. I'll play!
I'm an EMT-I, working towards getting my Medic license (and ASEMS degree). I "work" at a Fire/EMS department about half an hour from here (I say "work" because we get about 100 calls a year... and so far this year, only two of them have fallen on my shift)..
I run a few home-based businesses, as a
mobile DJ as well as a
"hard rocking blues band" and I do websites, mainly for friends and family... actually, I've been so busy making sites for everyone else that I haven't gotten around to making my business site yet.. lol
The SWMBO and I were talking last night over a few BMCs that we are going to expand the home-based stuff into a sort of "umbrella" entertainment business... we've got all the contacts and know-how to really start up something fairly big.. well, big for up here.
Other hobbies include tinkering in
The Pub and trying to get the
Northern Maine Home Brewers group off the ground. I hunt. We fish and go camping. We'll up and go to "vacation spots" on a whim, usually Machias, Acadia or Rockland.. mostly coastal areas in Maine. Oh.. and we roast our own coffee too.
In my spare time, I dick around as a solo acoustic act, work on writing songs for the upcoming DOUBLETAP CD that we're going to start recording in the fall, have fun with miscellaneous woodworking projects and house renovations. We're fairly active with our local Unitarian Church and volunteering time for benefits and fundraisers such as the "Red Ribbon Gala" HIV benefit, Relay for Life, and my band is proactively pursuing benefit gigs for Project Graduation and Bangor PRIDE.
About once a month, we throw a party in The Pub and have an all out fun-filled drunkfest. Our friends from
Twenty2 vodka always attend and bring new infusions for us to sample. The evening always has live entertainment (usually me and my acoustic), but sometimes a karaokefest... it's good to be a DJ sometimes..
So yeah, we work hard, we play hard and have a great balance in life.
Right now I'm supposed to be mowing the lawn, but I don't feel like it. ;-)
