Busy bee, that's me...

Been a little busy with starting my new job at Target. My free day is on Saturday, Yeah! I just gotta make it through my 9-5:30 shift today.

Alright well let me get to dreamland. Because before I know it, it will be time to get up.

Will catch up with others blogs during the weekend.

Little kids contain germs...

So I took care of my little brother today. As A result I know caught his cold. I really hate blowing my nose. Went through a box of tissues today.

Still waiting for Target to call me back. I am going to give them til Monday and if they still do not call me back then I am going to call them. That's exactly a week.

So this evening I started reading The Time Traveler's Wife. So far I am enjoying it. I have to wait for my Ipod touch to charge so I can finish up reading it. I love reading books on my ipod. so very convenient.

well I guess that is all my updates for now.

til the next time I blog.

Night all.

My first vlog

Time to put my dreams into motion...

About to enjoy a cup of tea and start journaling in my book. I have so many ideas swimming around in my brain and I don't know where to begin.

I need to put them down and then attempt to manifest them into reality.

My Magazine idea keeps coming back into my mind. I've had this little dream in my heart since I was like 19 and I am about to be 26 in a couple of weeks. I know if I want to get this going its going to take me, myself, and I to get it going. I tried to get people involved with it, and they were all about it, but when it was time to get to business, they backed out.

I need to start working on a novel that I wrote a treatment for and need to get started with it.

I also want to start designing and doing digital media stuff again. I am trying to keep my skills up because they cost me and arm, leg and first born to get.

Also want to get back into blogging again.

I just have a lot of dreams I want to get rolling and sometimes I know I can get ahead of myself. So I need to breath and go slowly with baby steps. Nothing is ever created instantly overnight.

It's not MTV but I'll take it

So I have an interview tomorrow at Target to work overnight shift. Its not exactly MTV (where I interned at and loved), but its money.

Least with working overnight and getting an income flowing I can start my hobby of card-making up and be able to get a little store on Esty like I want to. And I can still keep up my video and design skills.

I just gotta stay positive and hope they will take me aboard and I will wear their trademark red polo shirt and give them 135%.

Because we all gotta start from the bottom, and work our way to the top.

Stop and meditate

For the past couple of days my emotions and mental state have been out of whack.

I have gone several weeks without meditating and staying focused on the positive. Let me tell you this meditation helps. I started back up again last night after having a mini cry-fest and I feel a million times better. It helps channel where you need to be, and focused and where you want to be.

If you think meditation is silly and stupid try it first and then tell me what you think afterwards.

We like in a time that is instant and fast pace. No one has time to disconnect and just breathe. We have to be going somewhere or telling people what we are doing at every moment of the day, but we never take a time out for ourselves. We have to. Even if you are just washing the dishes and focusing on your breathing that is a form of mediation.

We need to stop and think of us for a moment in this busy world.

Time for some knitting

I will say it was go range of ages. little girls and older women and then me.

I'm suppose to be a tea drinking girl

So yesterday it happened...

I had caffeine and I devoured all of it.

I haven't had a cup of coffee in many, many months. I was doing so good, but now I am craving it and want to hit up a Wawa or Dunkin Donuts or even try to tear up the kitchen and find coffee filters.

I said I was a changed girl its was tea for me and nothing else.

But yesterday while volunteering at the auditions for the indie film I was asked by an attractive fellow if I wanted some coffee, because he was doing a coffee run.

I mean how can I say no.

1. He was cute

&

2. He was treating (did I mention that I am broke)

You don't turn down drinks when you're at a bar, even if the guy isn't that cute. So what would make this any different, but this...is slowly turning into a craving which might lead to an addiction.

What am I to do? I am gonna try to not cave.

the creativeness is slowing coming back

So I am really happy that I am getting back into wanting to blog again. When I was like 18-22 I would blog all the time on xanga. I need to archive my work on there. Sometimes I go back and laugh at some of the crazy mischief my friends and I seem to have gotten ourselves into.

But it seems like when I went back to college after going for journalism to try my hand at digital film. My creativity disappeared. The school I went to seemed to have sucked all the creativity out of me. I no longer wrote stories or created anything. I was just plain miserable. It was an art school and it should have made me more witty and expressive, but nope the complete opposite.

But I will blog another time about that school.

But not that I am 8 months out of college, my creativity is slowly coming back and I am being patient, not going to rush the creative stew that is brewing within me.

But I see the sign that my creativeness is coming back.

Here are the signs:

1. Can't sleep my mind is always going

2. Journaling more

3. reading more

4. kinda happier

5. Want to create things.

So we shall see what happens.

Felt nice to be in a familiar place

Today I got to help with a casting call for a new indie movie that is going to start up soon.

It was very nice to be in that type of environment again.

I really need to get out there and start networking more. I love being and working in the entertainment world I guess you would call, or even the design world.

Need to start working on my portfolio again and get it up on a web server.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Sometimes the world frustrates me

I get so annoyed sometimes with how life is going for me right now.

1. Graduated from College in December and still looking for a decent job, where people will not try to walk all over me, and willing to pay me.

2. Hate that its time to pay back student loans and I have no way to.

3. I don't drive and depend on others to help me out when public transportation just won't do.

I am trying to stay calm, cool and collective through all this but it is sometimes hard. I have to remember I am not the only one going through this. Everyone has their time to shine.

Need to make this blog more formal

Hello All,

I've had this site for several months now and didn't know what to really do with it beside post freebies and layouts I create.

But I have now decided to make this more formal and share my thoughts and creations on here. I use to blog back in the day constantly on Xanga, but everyone I knew who was apart of that community left. So I stopped, but now I want to get in the swing of things and hopefully help others to get creative in the process.

Its late need to get to bed in order to be well rested to be creative tomorrow.
