I figured I’d would continue on with my series, Tidbits. Since its inception in February of 2009, I have received comments and numerous emails to not stop, but continue on. More of the personal, heartfelt motions were sent via email and in person.
This morning a fellow friend alerted me to the fact that someone I was writing about has released a “series”. He laughed so hard, I asked him if he needed to start smoking again! He did ask me if it made me upset. I said, “Why would it?” He started laughing again and said copycat*.
*somebody who imitates others: somebody, especially a child, who slavishly imitates another {taken from the MS Word dictionary}
Going onward, like I said to him, “It doesn’t upset me in any way. I am the originator of it {just like many other things}. I’ll tell you WHAT does upset me….that bullsh*t with JD and the crap he told the press about people who never told him any different. These people’s bull makes me laugh so hard I might need a smoke!”
So, while I have many comments/emails from friends, I have decided to continue on with it. In an email I got two weeks ago-- “…so what if these people have to have a say in what you are writing…it is their words. It has been over two years and NOTHING has been done {if you are to blame}. Basically, to make anything happen you have to have MONEY, and they are broke. Money talks, bullsh*t walks. You have nothing to worry about…you have money to live on and don‘t dance/teach to earn it! Period.”
I still have not found the OIS {online insane aslyum}! Still searching…though…
Of course, in the midst of writing this caper, I have to tend to my new choreographies. I need to pick a fourth Led Zep song and start Stairway to Heaven.
Second, I am jointly working on our business, Marshall Investigation & Security Agency. We have our third person---the missing ingredient was missing in 2008. That will take a lot work…..but we all three are hard workers. When it is running it will be lucrative {not like a dance business--small biz--and they are suffering}. I will be put back into my old position, co-owner---meaning I do the accounts payable, billing, hiring, and portions of scheduling/payroll/dealing with clients {usually when they are new}.
Thirdly, maybe begin my company--RDC, with male dancers and work new choreo {see above}. I will have to make sure the biz is going well to make the company happen, because of the economy funding is hard to come by. But the goal is to have dancers {of course}, pay scale of $120 for 3 rehearsals per week, perform pay--?? {I dunno yet}; and all of that other stuff.
Then there is the business side…….payroll, 10-99’s, scheduling rehearsals, taxing the concert tickets {b/c you are re-selling dance---ask a CPA}, and most IMPORTANT ORDEAL---make sure your business breaks even/over {showing a profit or a P&L statement}…..because if you DO NOT you are not considered a business according to a Certified Public Accountant. I learned this the hard way. So, in hindsight, in 2006 {when I got screwed} I wasn’t really a business---I lost no money! According to my CPA.
So, if you want to start a dance company good luck in this economy! Well, anyways……
In continuing with tradition……
Tidbits; what piece of sh*t can I recant? I will post a small piece--tidbit if you like.
….then there was the first two weeks, which I spent on the phone or on instant messenger with my friends back home, crying because I hated the company I was in….
Would you like to know the reason she gave for resigning, because the aforementioned is not an excuse…..so, she made up something fictitious. I’ll give it tomorrow.
