Okay, I have a lounge broadcast and for a long time I could listen at work and it was as much a personal broadcast as anything. But that changed and now I hardly have time for it and I can't stand the sound of it. I am beginning to hate lounge, though some stuff saves me.

And I have a website with various retro projects, and then I find that keeping up with them takes time and I am getting sick of that.

So I do this tiki event with Kiliki and work on these Exotica CDs and pretty soon I can't stand to listen to Exotica and I am ready to stay home because this damn event is ruling my life for 8 months at a time. Every lunch hour, every night, every weekend. I take vacations from work so I have time for this.

I am ruining all these things I love by diving in too them.

People always talk about making what you love your job and you'll be happy. Crap. You'll get good at it, get popular, get sick of it and then have to do it for the rest of your life!

I am ready for a 12 month vacation from all my "Interests" and "hobbies."

Anyway... Just a little venting.
