Location, Location, Location

There's been some downtime here at TAMT, and there are a multitude of factors to attribute this to. One of which is that TAMT does not have a singular location that we operate from, and that's part of the problem. Dr. No has posited that our office is a metaphysical one that exists in the heart and mind of every man, woman, and child. Transcending space and time is pretty sweet, but I don't think we can get office supply shipments there.

It is this writer's opinion that TAMT needs a central space where we can Talk As Men Talk. There are some that argue that TAMT is a lifestyle, not a destination: they would be correct, but we also need to exist as a shining beacon to let the huddled masses know that there is hope in this grim world that forces them to talk as employees talk, as yes-men talk, as husbands talk, as siblings talk, as tax-payers talk, as the middle-class talk: we want people to be able to hold their heads up high and Talk As Men Talk.

That and we want to make some money. Partially for ourselves, but more to finance bigger and better TAMT operations - podcasts, radioshows, stripclubs, you name it. The goal here is to Talk As Men Talk not just as a hobby, but as a full time operation. I look to guys like Dick Vitale, a possessor of one of the greatest jobs in the world, who inspired me by saying something to the effect of, "I've never worked a day in my life. It's all been fun and I've gotten paid for it." Why shouldn't we all be so lucky?

That being said, we need an office. As anyone knows, you need a location to run business operations if you want to be an effective business. So far, our business model is borrowed from the South Parkian Underpants Gnome methodology:
Phase 1: Get an office.
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Profit.

As you can imagine, we aren't having tremendous initial success, especially since we can't complete phase 1. The other idea that we've been kicking around is starting a Bar. I think in concept this is great, because said Bar could double as an office and no one would think twice about us opening at 8am and pouring whiskey in the coffee to start the day. The disadvantage is that we'd probably have to shut down around 2 every day for a booze nap.

These are just some jumping off points. Food for thought, to be savored, then digested, but in this case, not excreted. But for now, it's back to work at the office that isn't a TAMT office, which is why we need the new one...
