We, as humans have to stop taking each other for granted. I was thinking today how we will let a good friend or loved one walk out of our life over something stupid. Like on Hoarders, when a parent doesn't want to throw something away & the kid does. They'll be upset with that kid for weeks over a stuffed animal of a blanket. Have you ever lost someone you cared about over something ridiculous? I gave up a friend over American Idol... we got into an argument over Kelly Clarkson being better than Justin Guarini... Seriously! We're cool now but just to think of how I stopped speaking to her over THAT ... I don't know those people... it's so silly.
I didn't believe in the Recession until I got layed off. Almost 2 years later, I can tell you- IT'S REAL THAN A MUTHAFUKKA!!! In the field I was in, the longer you're out the harder it is to get back in & with me trying to get back in in New York its double extra hard with cheese!! Well... maybe not with cheese because cheese makes everything better & if it was better it wouldn't be hard so ... you know what I mean. #AnywayDoe This recession shit is real & I need people to have a LOT more compassion for those that are out of work involuntarily. We're trying, jobs are hard to come by. When you see "90,000 jobs were created" on the news those are usually IT or some other specialized field. If you're like me & worked in Broadcasting for 12 years you aren't qualified. Go to school you say... Ok so how will I pay bills for the 2- 4 years I'm in school learning? When I get out I still risk not having a job because of the people that already went to school & have worked in the field & those graduating with me. It's a vicious cycle. "Take what you can get" I have & let me tell you- IT SUCKS!! Retail... Lawdhabmurcy.... I can't wait for the season to be over & the pay is DREADFUL. Some of us are trying, some are not... don't count us out though. Our comeback will be even more magnificent than our setback. BELEE DAT!!


I have so many ideas for vlogs & blogs but TV saps my soul & sucks all the energy to be productive out of my body. Last year I only did 2 posts, this year I've done at least 125 so I'm getting there. Let's see what 2011 brings.... good things I'm sure. You won't catch me saying "2011 is MY year", every year you're alive is you're year. Make the best of it!
