Sluggishness

I feel kinda sluggish lately. There's lots of projects that I need to really be on top of right now, but I'm having trouble motivating myself to tackle them completely.

It looks like I'll be seeing a whole lot more of that Michael Sos kid with his new job being down the street. I found out yesterday that he's parking in the ghetto deck with me, so that's pretty cool.

I took some time last night (in my unmotivated state) to browse around the national TTORA (Tacoma Territory Off Road Association) discussion forum. I do this from time to time to see if anyone is talking about CustomTacos and also to see what kind of interesting discussions they're having over there. Gotta see the competition, right? There's usually some kind of discussion involving CustomTacos, but I found a good many negative comments over there last night. It kinda made me mad at first, kinda like if you were a fly on the wall and overheard someone talking bad about your Mom. But I guess I realized after a while that in this business (like almost any other) any PR, even bad PR is...well...PR. It gets the site's name out there, even if people are referring to it as a "dump" and Customcrapholes. It sucks that the site has seemingly taken on that kind of reputation over there. But, I take what is said over there with a grain of salt as I've discovered those guys are pretty closed minded to any Tacoma that doesn't get taken off road at least twice a week. It really reminded me of the main reason why I created CT: To have a place where Tacoma enthusiasts of ALL sizes and interests could visit and chat without being slandered or belittled.

I guess the site is the one that gets slandered and belittled for opening its doors to more than just off road enthusiasts. Shame on me for having an open mind. :)
