My, How Things Can Quickly Change

Hey Everyone,

As usual, it has been awhile since I came in here and blabbed onto this page......again, my apologies for that. You all must be getting tired of me saying that!!

Anyway, it's funny how things can change in a relatively short amount of time. Since I last posted in here back in July, I have become the president of a webhosting company and have also been expanding my online marketing business as well. I don't know if it's that everyone suspects there's a "recession", but it sure seems that there aren't as many gigs to be had, or the phone's just not ringing anymore, or maybe a combination of some or all of those, but I can sure tell that things have slowed down a fair amount. Interestingly enough, I'm the busiest with non-music things right now.

Jason Morris, a friend of a number of years now, as well as my "computer geek" guy, has asked me to come on board with him to expand the web hosting side of his business having giving me the "presidential" position as well as director of sales and marketing. Jason does excellent work and has been great to work with over the last 5 years or so having hosted my personal site and most of my online business sites, so it was easy for me to decide to join him in this business venture. As well as having a deep passion for music, I have had a definite fasination and growing interest in internet technology over many years now, so I'm excited about this new direction I'm taking.

This company has plenty to offer in terms of website design, hosting and VPS (virtual private server) hosting......from personal design and hosting requirements, right up to "fully managed" environments for businesses and corporations. Please stop by our website for more information.......you can find us HERE.

Having this position as company president and director of sales and marketing will certainly put demands on my time to a certain extent, but, by the same token, it will also free me up to allow me to do the types of gigs I want to do and will really help to keep me going through those slow times.

So, that's the main news, weather, and sports for now.......please do stop by every so often to see what's up, and if you need a site designed (redesigned) and/or top quality webhosting packages with awesome tech support......you know who to call!! :)

Take care everyone,

Pat B.

What A Great Concert!!

Hey Blogspot World,
I just got back to my hotel after seeing "Earth, Wind, and Fire".....AND....."Chicago" (the band not the musical) on the same concert at The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Yup, it was KILLER, and you know......I'm happy to say that a big portion of this trip has been funded by the cash I've been making online.

Musically, as a saxophonist, this summer is pretty slow compared to others, so it just goes to show you that being my own boss and working online is truly saving my "bacon" this summer and has afforded me the chance to come and see a fantastic concert like this one. One of the goals I set for myself a long time ago pertaining to an online business was that I wanted to use money from my online business so that my wife and I could afford to come and see and experience these "KILLER" musical moments.

No, I'm not an online millionaire (YET!!), but I'm reaching goals that I have set for myself, and ya know what??.....that's how it starts. It's a great feeling, and if you are reading this, you need to experience this same thing (if you haven't already).

Stay positive, stay focused, be patient, and NEVER stop learning.....sound like a cliche?? Maybe so, but there's truth there......no seriously......there is, I mean it!!

To Our Success,

Pat B.

Looking Forward To Summer

Hey Everyone,

As usual, it has been awhile since I came in here and blabbed onto this page......again, my apologies for that. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a nice restful summer and then hit it again come the fall. All is quiet right now (not that I'm complaining or anything) although this is the first year in the last 16 years that I haven't been performing at the Calgary Stampede Grandstand Show. Apparently, the terms "new artistic direction" and "budget restraints" are terms of this year's show where that's concerned....whatever the hell that means. One thing's for sure, I bet there's some sort of "story" behind it all, as one thing I have come to realize over the last 16 years is that the Board of Directors of the Calgary Stampede works in truly "mysterious ways" from time to time, so that "is" what that "is" (I don't look for the "logic" cuz it rarely exists).

On a more positive note, I'm heading to Las Vegas on July 23rd to see "Earth Wind & Fire" AND "Chicago" (the group NOT the musical) playing on the same concert at the Hard Rock Hotel......should be a HOOT!! I have wanted to see EWF for a LONG time, so I feel I'm overdue.
Having the extra time on my hands, I am working more on my "online business"......."online marketing" to be more precise, and that always keeps me busy and helps make ends meet when gigs are not as plentiful (like January and August).

Anyway, I realized a long time ago that certain times of the year are more lucrative than others, so it's nice to have something to "fall back on" during those times.
Well, that's the news, weather, and sports from my neck o' the woods......summer will be a bit slow at times, but that just gives me more time to hang out with friends and family, to travel a bit, and to make more money online, so I don't mind all that much......I look forward to the break.

Have a great summer, and safe travels to you wherever you may be venturing to.
