I'm Somebody!
I feel like Steve Martin's character, Navin Johnson, in "The Jerk" when he gets a shipment of phone books, opens one up to find his name and address and shouts "I'm somebody!".
Yes, I, Jeni Harris, have finally stepped into the 21st century and registered a domain name and got a web-hosting plan. What's even better is, it is called, (dah, dah, dah, dah) www.jeniharris.com! Yes, my name, followed by .com was available. I am so excited! I feel important. I have no life. Of course, there is nothing on there yet, but I hope to soon have pictures, links to my band and other band web-sites, as well as samples of my original material. It will be my site for marketing myself and primarily my music in the entertainment industry.
I am thinking that this will also motivate me to get my arse and my original tunes out to some clubs. I am also looking forward to the tax write-off, since I am already considered self-employed ($$$). Hey, I need all the tax breaks I can get at $0.36 for every dollar I make playing in clubs. Also, because I design the site, I can put the most flattering pictures of myself out there.
This is long overdue. So many people ask me if I have my own website or CD. I always give them the band's website, but they are always like, "do you have a website"? I hate to sadly say "no." Now, I don't have to. There have been some nights when I could have made an extra $100.00, just by selling my CDs at $10.00 bucks a pop.
Once again, I credit Marissa out in California for the idea. Her site www.marissasims.com is coming along great. So, Marissa, if you're reading this, thanks again.
Anyhow, tonight I have to go home and revise my first assignment for school. Yes, classes don't begin until next Monday, and my first assignment is due. The assignment is to write a narrative essay about an event that changed my outlook on life. Now, I can whip an essay out of my rear in about 45 min or less, thanks to last semester's Developmental Writing II class. However, it was very hard to choose a subject. I have met many people who have shaped my outlook on life. I have also been to countries where a civil war is going on down the street from me and these experiences have made me love the United States even more than before. The topic I chose to write on, though, was the sudden death of one of my band-mate's father. That incident changed the way I look at life as well as the way I choose to live mine. Maybe I will publish the essay here, though, it's very personal and I wouldn't want to upset any family members of the deceased. How about this- If anyone is reading this, please literally stop and smell the roses every day, if you can, and appreciate every sunrise, because it means you've been given at least one more day.
