Full Metal Fun Introspective

February 19, 2010 · Posted in random blog 

Hey everyone!

Full Metal Ninja here.  Wow! Las Vegas was a blast!  Met some cool new people, ate at great places, and I actually won $124 from the slot machines!  Those winnings paid for my buffet! lol

The trip took a lot of work for the band, but it was definitely fun.

On a random note, lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions about having fun or what fun entails.  Fun is definitely subjective, but for me, fun is rocking out.

But just like any type of fun, it does require work.   While some fun requires little effort, others require more.

To have fun in a band, the band and it’s business have to work first.

For the most part, it takes blood, sweat and tears, and even losing some of your peers to make it work.

So in this quest for awesome fun, my band mates and I became more than just musicians.

As for me, I became all of the following below: (Outside of playing guitar and producing)

Investor
Business Manager
Personal Manager
Logistics Management
Booking Agent
Web Administrator
Database Administrator
Market Researcher/Engagement
Promoter
Flier/Poster distributor
Sound tech guy
Video Editor
the list goes on…

If you think about it, each position requires a significant amount of work already. People have told me I have a lot of time to be able to do all these things, but in reality, I have a full time job and social obligations just like everyone else. It’s not that I have a lot of time, I’m really just willing to do what it takes to have awesome fun.

I know people who have awesome fun with cooking, but they can’t just cook out of nowhere. They have to learn how to cook, and they have to buy the right cooking gear. In order to do that, you have to do some research, ask people, know the right presentation, and have people over to enjoy your cooking with you.  Eventually, you cook in different kitchens and share your creations with different people.

In the end, it’s all about awesome fun. The more awesome the fun is, the more work it takes.  How far you take it is entirely up to you.

I’m never too lazy to have fun, and I’m also never too lazy to be random.

On that note, my name is Full Metal Ninja, and this is my favorite store in the Citadel.
