Some time last year, I was talking so someone regarding regarding a comment a wife made calling her husband grumpy, I mentioned that the husband was grumpy because of his astrological personality trait and the person I was speaking with said he had a friend with the sign who is always Happy.. Then I thought what?, does this friend live in this world, is this friend aware of the going-ons around them, because if they are they must be insensitive.
Today while listening to broad way greats discussing Tennessee Williams, Natasha Richardson and Jessica Lange both mentioned that Tennessee Williams gave a quote similar to mine about happiness and insensitive. He said something to the effect that to be happy all the time is to be insentivity... funny. I will add him to my list of one of the dead people with whom I will love converse.

"compassion for all and self.... that what counts to me"
"compassion for all and self.... that what counts to me"
I had to post this on my yahoo update ( which I never use because I do not have the need to let people know what I am doing every second of the day) after reading someones' homophobic update regarding the cancelled promo in Mississippi.
We all have a right to our own taste, opinions and life choices, and we are going to encounter people whose taste, opinions and life choices differs from ours and therefore we must learn to agree to disagree and have compassion at all times for others and ourselves.. When you waste energy hating someone for something you do not like about them or their life choice, you are hurting yourself, when you ostracize someone for doing something you don't agree with you are harming them, leave those you don't like alone because you will want those that do not like you to leave you alone. Do unto others people, lead by example and remember to make the world a better place we must start with ourselves.
But again this is my philosophy, so do u. :)

Happy St. Patrick's day
TOP O the mornin to ya... I am Irish today friends. I am deck out in a green dress, with brown leggings and caramel coloured boots and a green wrap..
As Citizen of the Planet 2 ( for those who do not know Alanis Morissette is 1) I love celebrating days like this, embracing the joys of other cultures. I was going to skip being Irish this year but because of Natasha Richardson, I am celebrating to honor and celebrate her husband Liam Neeson ( the idea guy, husband and father) and their two sons as tomorrow is the first anniversary of her death. I am also celebrating because Tasha loves celebrating and as her death was a reminder that death can come at anytime, I must work hard and play hard.
I have someone making me corn beef and cabbage.. Guinness anyone?

Trying and still getting NOwhere
Today I just received another blow that makes me think what is the point.. A while ago a friend asked me I cry.. no. I.responsed what the point, why do you ask I said?She said if all the crap that happens to me happen to her she would never stop bawling. I responed that when you are use to crap happening to you, a new blow does not side wipe you.
To be successful in life you have to know the right people and have the correct connections, skill can get you so far, you also have to get the right people to like you because if they don't you are screwed... holding your head up is not going to cut it when people are preventing you for reaching your goals.. It is easier to say move on but in order for that to happend you need the right connection.
Cheerio!

another one of my comments made it on the news again this time MSNBC
Tuesday morning on tweeter deck I saw a post asking for opinions on what a model said regarding losing jobs because she is a size 4. I came home and whiles watching my daily taped episode of the news I heard my name and my comments on TV.. I think I said something to the effect that she will have to deal with it because that is common in the industry she chose.
To add to that, I personally think that they only way that designers will hire bigger models is if the skinner models became less available, which will never happened because of people competitive nature. Also no one should go into modeling thinking it is going to be a lifelong career since our bodies change, my advice to aspiring models, have a back up plan and save.

The year of the self- Books I am reading
This New Year can take credit for this if it wants but I am on a road to self-discovering, self-improvement and career development. In the last two weeks, I have read four business/self motivational books and I have plans to review many of the business concepts I learned at business school as well as read articles and books to help me become grow intellectually, spiritually and professional.
The first book I read this year “Smart Choices: A Practical Guide to Making Better Decisions” by Hammond, Keeney and Raiffa talks about the correct way to attack problems, it was recommended by one of my business school professors who told my class that it come in handy throughout our lives and he was right. I have read other books and articles where others have describe using the same concepts to solve problems as discussed in the book
The second book is called “Women, Work and the Art of Savoir Faire” by Mireille Guiliano, in this book she gives advice about the dos and don’ts in business taking from her experiences and the experiences of those around her. The book was a great read and true to form she includes some recipes which I still have yet to try, I am not big on cooking (she will not be pleased).
The third book is called Self Promotion for Introverts by Nancy Ancowitz, yes I am one and this book comes with exercise that reminded me of my marketing class lectures ( I love marketing). Interesting tidbits, Nancy met President Bill Clinton whiles she was working on the book and he told her he is an introvert. Yes, fellow introverts, this is a book for us, and I just need to get up the courage to start applying what I have learned.
I am still reading the fourth book, which is called Healing your Aloneness, and it is by Margaret Paul and Erica, J. Chopich. I heard about this book whiles watching Miss Morissette show us her condo apartment courtesy of the MTV program” Cribs” on you tube, thus as the curious Gemini that I am bought it when I saw it in the store. Surprisingly I am enjoying the book; I have used some of the tips to calm my inner child.

Now I understand why T
Sunday the 10th of January around 9am something happened and looking back make me understand why you did what you did. I was serving breakfast for the clients in the house I work at for my part-time work at the Center of Disability when suddenly I heard a bang, yeah it was me hitting the right side of my face on an open cabinet door.. Being shy and not wanting everyone in my business and trying to prevent the clients from panicking, I continued with what I was doing, and I ended up forgeting all about it until two hours later when my head started hurting, someone told me to fill out incident report, which I did reluctantly after I took some aleve..
My day continued, the day turned into night, night into day and suddenly it was tuesday morning and I work up with a partly swollen face, my right eye hurting and pressure pain.. To make a long story short, i have a concussion and its glorious (headache, irritability, sensitivity to light and sound) symptoms.
If this had happend to someone else I would have been the first to insist they go see a doctor, but when it happens to you especially if you are accident prone, you assume it just like the other time and say everything is going to be find. I forgive you T but...
