splaquet's Interests
General
Finding a way to make everyday life seem so less everyday. I think I found it =)
Oh, and this is www.YourShows.net... another something or other that I'm working on with a few partners that should make the web and those 'stupid simple things' easy as pie.
Music
I've played drums for several years, been involved with music festival production, and I'm currently managing a very fine band. http://myspace.com/3ve You could say that I have a thing for music. yeah. yup.
Movies
The Matrix series, nuff said.
Television
I try not to watch TV that isn't in High Def. It sort of limits my options, but I try to stay away from the damn thing. Discovery HD is pretty sweet =) (especially jungle stuff!!) ...although I am hooked on Heroes. Look out Jack Bauer ;)

Well, within the last year I've been on an east coast & west coast cruise, Price is Right, two different coasts of Mexico, Bahamas, Jamaica, Australia, 3 times California, Florida twice, West Virginia, and hmmmm, where else? I like to be on the go... and, did I forgot to mention that I love my job?!
When I went to college I had a focus on graphic design and entertainment, as well as graduating in 2000 with a BS in Computer Info Systems. I started running 3 miles a day and went vegetarian for a year. I lost a 100 lbs the healthy way =) It was odd, but when I came to visit back home after losing the weight I was taken very oddly and was even accused of losing the weight due to a drug problem.
For all of the same reasons that most of my friends did, I had to get out of that small town attitude and start life with a go get 'em attitude. Not only that, but everyone was getting fat, having babies, and getting married back home. ....that wasn't for me.
After college I moved to PA for the summer, auditioned for a band, worked for my first paid music festival, and then moved back home. I was offered a job with Terrapin Presents down in CT (New England's premier festival production company) and I moved down to Norwalk, CT for about a year.
I met an awesome girl, started my graphic designing path, and went down to Key West with a band that I was working with for Xmas and NYE.
I moved back to the the Springfield, MA area and tried to work design full time out of the house. Somehow I managed to make my mark in some design markets and I've surely made my mark in the festival production scene throughout the country.
I worked on Jam Cruise (a festival on a cruise ship), moved to Springfield, springfield, and undertook my graphic and web design full time. I currently work out of my house and set my own hours. I sort of like it =) I just got new book-keepers and accountants too so I'm liking it even more.
I'm not excactly sure where my life is taking me next, but I have a few great prospects on the horizon. I'm looking forward to high school's 10yr reunion as well. I can barely believe that it's been that long already. I can also barely believe that I've manage to accomplish all that I have in those last 10 years. It truly had a lot to do with all of the friends and family that I've accumulated throughout my life. I'm so fortunate to have had the awesome support.
