About two years ago, I moved out of my home office and into an 800 square foot metal building. It was a huge deal for me. I had my own office space... I had made it! Mr. Bobby Bleed mentioned that my move reminded him of a song by the White Stripes c... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
"The only disturbed week......"...........................That's funny right there!!!! Congrats, on the upgrade, Boss!
good for you mang! that's a catchy little tune! oh, and by the way, i dig the fact that even your trash cans are even traditional!!!
Does everything have to have an aim and a purpose? I kinda like just flopping around aimlessly. It won't all go to pot in a week. We will miss your well thought out posts but I'll try to make it. I think I'm up to the task. I wish I was close enough to provide some manual labor. I wouldn't be much help on the bigger decisions but I can carry boxes.
Didn't realize you were moving. Went to the Garage Journal and read the whole story, Congratulations on the property and everything. Glad to see things are going well for you.
I hate moving...just when you get settled in...you'll be moving again! dig the bar. Throw one back for me!
There was this White Stripes Doc called Under Great White Northern Lights and in there he talks about "BLEEDING THE BOX". Now this may have nothing to do with you moving up in the world or it may have everything. In any case, he talks about how so many people step out of the box to find something new but instead Jack White likes to bleed the box for everything that it's worth because he knows there is something special in there and if he works at it hard enough he knows he can find it. I think this is especially true with Traditional Hot Rods and customs. Sure there is the confinement of a bounding box which is doing what has been done in the past but there is a lot of good things to be found in that box. And even when you think you might have to step outside of it to find something different someone who is working hard in the confinement of that box produces something awesome in a space where you though the pool was dried up. So Ryan I hope you've bled the box (Your Office) for everything it's worth and this new space suits you well my friend. Get ready to bleed this one for everything it's worth!
Picture creator? off ebay. (about $10). you take a high def picture, it "slices" it up into squares and prints them off on your color printer.. apply to wall, instant mural.. if you feel so inclined.. purchase clear shelf paper, matt finish to cover it with. (to stop the beer spray from destroying it). Hey.. you gotta be "trapped" in the office.. so why not put something on the wall you love.. YOUR HOTROD? or that pretty blond bimbo who works at Hooters leaning over to "check" the oil in YOUR HOTROD??? Aww.... ain't it fun to be alive?? And.. a dorm refrigerator... fill it full of beer and invite me.. I'll bring a driver.. If ya got way too much money??? buy a LCD flatscreen for the "wall" and add the thumbdrive full of wmv's off youtube.. moving pictures.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O310qCydgnU
