It's been 8 days since Juan the designer has spoken with me. WTF!! His phone has broken so he can only text and i think he cant receive texts. Something like that. Still he could/should call me or email me. He still hasn't sent any design drafts. I hope he isn't one of the flaky ones. 8 days is too many though. I have sent him designs, verbiage, texts, phone messages and emails to no avail. I need some feedback and support.

Twitter twits biggest hits. Dude, wheres my designer?

Back at the twitter finger game. At a mere 140 character spaces the thought must be concise and direct. Having read many tweets without enough runway space to take off, i do the pile on system and just do numerous entries. I'm a righter, damnit!! I was pleasantly surprised to find that i have 15 followers already and i only have 15 tweets posted. Since the idea is to have as many tweekers following as possible you must follow as many as you can. I know it seems strange but that is the way the world is now. Just stay up all night and press "follow" even though there is nothing about following involved. The system demands that you follow, not tweet. There are tweetstars that have only written a few times and only follow a couple sites and yet they have thousands of followers. Some have as many followers as followees and others have only followers and never click follow. How can that be? When i get my smart phone and some designs for sale on the internet i'll be THE tweekster xcited to get out 360 characters in 5 minutes 4 times a day and three times a night.
My designer is a no show for the past 10 odd days. What a deflater. I was super jazzed to see the site up and unfortunately i told others that i was onto something big. Now i am emBareAssed again. Why me? Well there are 2wenty better companies in Vegas that would be happy to be my lead graphics designers. I just feel gut punched is all.

Web site looking best. Design finalization and script additions.

I went and met with Juan and he showed me what he came up with for www.Snacton.com and I LIKE IT!! He has such a good eyedea of whats cool. We rough drafted 6 designs for a start and we initiated the godaddy hosting process. He has shipping container of white tees of all types so we decided to do the first run with dark inks. I sent him some wording for filler and we meet again on Monday. NOICE!! The designs included tacos, zombies, cards/poker, route 66, discoteque, 18 wheelers, aliens, Vegas and some other stuff. More of the same later. Next is final approval, Paypal, links, color selection, separation, screen burning and printing. These designs will be multi-purpose so paper or fabric choices will have to take place soon. Songwriters: RIDDLE, NELSON

If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

It winds from chicago to la,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/n/nat+king+cole/route+66_20098085.html ]
Now you go through saint looey
Joplin, missouri,
And oklahoma city is mighty pretty.
You see amarillo,
Gallup, new mexico,
Flagstaff, arizona.
Don't forget winona,
Kingman, barstow, san bernandino.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Solo

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six. 
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Dimon, Aegis, Prince and Maddof. Crimes against the status.

I'll try again to make a success of myself. As i was telling Charlotte, i'm not myself if i don't try to get successful. I have learned that i can't do anything alone so soon i will have to try and make some efforts to get a few locals interested in building the infrastructure and spreading the biz globally. I can go to the post office twice a day, finalize designs, answer emails, blog, clean the office, feed the pets, garden and think. Others will have to be the face of the company and inspire me to get busy. Since people hate me, i'll be happy to stay in the shadows as the ghost CEO. The silent COO. The Hidden Founder. The Mad Progenitor. One of these times i will have to give up entirely and relinquish myself to a life of relative mediocrity or an existence of unrequited irrelevance, unreconciled. I do have what it takes to get heard though.
It rained today and so i must get to Parvati and make sure she is water tight.
It's July 4 and so i go to see the show.

Hooded, sleeveless wife beaters with a phone pocket.

I just deposited all of my cash and chex into the bank. I now have a good $1500 expendable for the website, products, designs and a nice pair of dress slax. That would leave me with $1300 bux for brakes, smog, Rizide work and a prime rib dinner to go. It's nice to have money but it's not funny without honey. I received an email from Juan saying that he has an idea for the idea. I can't wait. I have to choose an official Logo to copy right? For perpetuity.The font we chose was a bold one named Raven Slab. I decided that this would be too masculine for the masses. Something more hermaphroditic would sell better. Also when the main font is too bold, butterflies and kittens don't match well with it. Just something in a medium please.

Labor forces.

Where are the blacks working these days. I mean the American blacks. When in Hong Kong the Nepalese were the imported labor force. Thousands of Nepalese could come over and work/save and perhaps stay on to do the next job. Here in Vegas, Somalis, Ethiopians, Mexicans and Slavics are driving the cabs and Pacific Islanders, Mexicans and Philippine nationals are hard at work in the casinos, construction and landscaping etc. fields. Where are the African Americans, of which there at least 20% in the population, making their money?
Snacton.com is being set up tonight. The designer, Juan Carlos, is quite into the concept and gets the basic gist of umbrella company, design centric, action philanthropy and social network idea combining to help worlds. He has been doing design for many years, is from Silicon Valley, has a big shop in Santa Cruz and a small one here in Vegas, does good work for cheap and is a cool dude that lives in Veer Tower East at City Center. Getting closer to the ideal.
