To be oh so cliche and borrow from commercial giant Nike sometimes you have to just do it! That's how I'm looking at my life. No more looking for another "good job" or waiting for the "perfect" time to take control of ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here listening to Gladys Knight's "Midnight Train To Georgia" and thinking damn, that's the kind of love I need. Love, not sex. Making love is so much better than having sex! I need that kind of totally plugged in, electrifying, you see them across a crowded airport and know they're waiting there just for you, type of love affair you ( Read more... )

Well I've been at my new job for four months and I hate it. My title, editorial assistant, sounds like it has something to do with journalism, and it does, but not really. I am a secretary. I am expected to book flights, do expense reports, make sure sodas and snacks are on hand for meetings, and I am constantly busy and I hate it. I've decided to ( Read more... )

I've been putting off having a very important conversation with myself for a while now. For the last, oh I don't know two to three years I have been going through the motions of life and it's time to stop. I guess, no I know the first place to start is my relationship with God.

My family is on the verge sinking faster than a J.LO movie. It's been exactly one year and two days since my grandmother died and it's really cliche to say it, but my family has fallen apart.

I'm so bored I could strip naked and take off down the street singing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," or...sit here and geek out on the Internet, while simulatenously watching cheesy reruns of "The Fresh Prince of Belair" (the light-skinned Aunt Viv years), eating a fried bologna and jelly sandwich.

I got the job at Lee Enterprises! I'm now the Executive Assistant to the Vice-President of News for a Publishing corporation that owns 46 newspapers across the U.S. I make $32,000 a year, plus stock options, 401K, and two weeks paid vacation a year. My friends are cool. Everyone is supportive, even friends I had recently fallen out with have my ( Read more... )

Well guys (Court, Nat, Becca) I'm gonna need your prayers and support. I'm about to file a defamation of character/discrimination lawsuit against the United States Government via my immediate supervisor. I know I've talked on and on about how I hate my job, well I haven't really gone into detail because basically all the drama at work has served to ( Read more... )

Just call me proactive. No, I'm not a fancy zit cream sponsored by pseudo pop singers, I'm a writer obsessed with breaking into the world of daytime television! You know how I'm always complaining about there not being a lot of resources or help out there on the net for would be soap writers? Well I took matters into my own hand, or into my own ( Read more... )
