Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog. I'm just your simple, average, down to earth, professional, out gay man and aspiring circuit boy, living in Phoenix, Arizona with a few things to say while trying to find my place among all the scary, conservative, religious nuts in this sick and twisted world.

@HOME. It's a little after 11pm and I'm laying here in bed. I decided to bring in my laptop and write a little bit before bed. Justin and I just got home from the gym about an hour ago. We went and worked out for an hour. Man it's hard to get started again after missing a few days. Back again tomorrow. Oh the agony. Anyway today was a pretty interesting day at work. Doug decided to give his notice. I expected it after our conversation last week. I'm sort of sorry to see him go because I really enjoyed working with him and learning from him. We ended up going out for a team lunch at the Cheescake factory. I had the orange chicken. It was really good, much better then I expected. I'm actually trying to get to bed and to sleep by midnight tonight. I'm sick of being tired in the mornings when I get up. I had a meeting with Sarah from See-Jane-Play last night so that I could go over all the information she needed to know for the new site. I'm hoping we can get a few new clients soon. It looks like everything is going well. I'm actually proud of myself that I've been writing a lot more lately. I've just been trying to make a concerted effort to write even if it's just a little bit. As always it makes me feel better. I've been getting frustrated more at work lately but I think I'm just going to hang in there for now and not make any rash decisions. Hopefully we will get some new help soon so that I don't have to be so bogged down with work. I'm really not enjoying what I'm doing right now either so that dosen't help either. I would love to be able to get up in the morning and actually look forward to going to work. Hopefully in a few years we'll be able to have enough business with JMRA that at least Mark and I can spin off. I did some updated of my website tonight as well. I know it's just a small site but I have to get that thing completely ported over to .NET one of these days. Since I'm not doing much programming at work anymore I really need to force myself to do these personal projects to keep my skill set up. I'm going to try and do some research on writing my own CMS system so that I don't have to hard code my pages like I've been doing. I mean I know I can put most of these pages into a database and dynamically create them, but I'd rather have a good foundation in place before I migrate to something like that. But enough of my Tekie talk. I think I should probably be getting to bed soon. I have to work a little earlier tomorrow so that I can get home with enought time to make it to the gym before we have to go up to Sarah's Promo party at Suede. Alright, I'm outta here.
