Tonight starts with a question…why must everything take so long? Right???
Yes, I realize that’s a very whiny question…and I’m afraid such whinyness is never justified or acceptable. And yet, I still feel the sentiment. Everything worth doing just takes so. fucking. long. Jesus.
I spent 10 hours today creating something that is 5 minutes long. HOW INSANE IS THAT??? It’s cray cray, I can answer THAT question. It’s crazy. But yet, here I sit, having spent exactly that long on the project. I had dreams of granduer today y’all. I was going to be rid of the podcast and have time to spare to rest, do nothing. Didn’t happen. Worked all day.
Now…beyond the pile of whiny shit that lies above this sentence…there is the fact that I finished what was obviously a HUGE part of getting this podcast “finished.” This “teaser” that I’d had in my mind I really wanted to do. It was a monstrous task. Thankfully, today was an “off” day for me, and the building matters weren’t that crazy. A few things, but nothing too bad. So, I had the time to dive in, and dive in I did. Ten hours. Insane.
I also resized all the artwork and re-made all those files in iTunes so they’re ready to re-upload to Soundcloud. I also upped the said “Teaser” after running it by the Ho and making some adjustments. Minor ones, praise be to baby jesus. That reset the RSS feed, since I’d deleted the old tracks…which had artwork attached to them that was 4500×4500…which I think was the reason that it was rejected by iTunes back on Monday. Apparently they have a max artwork size of 3000×3000, hence the resizing today of all the artwork and the re-created of all the metadata in iTunes. Bloody Christ. But, this time, the artwork should be the correct size AND I’m only submitting the ONE track. The “teaser.” Hopefully that greases it through the approval process, and then once I get the green light from iTunes, I’ll upload the rest of the tracks to Soundcloud and add them to the RSS feed…and THEN I can make the announcement that we’re live and ready to go. See what I mean??? So long.
I’m just tired yo…and I miss my writing and I miss my leisure time. Everything has been so freaking busy since May. So. Busy. I’m ready to NOT be that busy. I just have to keep my head down and taking it one day at a time. I’m so close to finishing what I’ve started. That’s what’s so hard, and makes me so whiny. So close. I just have to push harder and longer than I thought I was going to have to.
K, y’all. It’s 11pm and I smell. It’s shower time.
Respek.
