SAVE THE EARTH

Well Nissan might have you believe you can do this by purchasing one of their cars at a time. Truth be told, it is the little things - so changing your car from gas to electric is actually a huge step over time. Like I Have said before - "I don't own a car, I'm green," to which my dad replied, "No, you're poor."

Home Sweet Home

So I am a bad blogger. I know I should do better about it. 


I am back home in BC for just a day or two to visit with my grandparents from Florida. I typically see or visit them at least once every six months but have been unable to as of late because of my lack of funds. They are hysterical. Just sitting and hanging out with them any time of day makes you realize how much they've seen in this life. They both have amazing comedic timing and can make any story a belly-laugher. 


I miss seeing them all the time. They live on the intercoastal of Indian Rocks Beach in FL and their back (if you don't dwell on water, this is the front) of their house is just short blocks from the Gulf of Mexico. You can walk to one of the best Crabber's in the business, Crabby Bill's, and you can fish right off of their dock (which I have - many a time). Their dock used to be my "special place," you know, the place in which your teachers teach you to escape to in your mind when things become overwhelming in the 2nd grade. 


It saddens me that my job/financial situation would prohibit me from seeing some of the people who are so very important to my life. 


I feel as if something great is on the horizon, I know I just need to make it happen. From now on, I'll be doing it for my grandparents....so hopefully soon I'll be able to get back to my special place in real life.

Life in the Fast Lane

There are many angles in the advertising/digital media world to try to make yourself stand out. As I realized my first time around on the blog site, a blog is actually not very individual but rather pretty regular and even expected. Doh. 


Some things that may not be expected about me. 


I really was sure that I was going to be the first lady Detroit Tiger shortstop. Or a dolphin trainer. I still would be a dolphin trainer if given the chance. Or a tattoo artist. That requires a VERY steady hand. I might have a touch of Attention deficit disorder. My college volleyball coach made me take ritalin or else he said I couldn't play.

I just bought a blood red Ibanez bass guitar and mini fender amp. I am pretty sure I am going to be in a killer band someday.The serious yet obviously rhythm filled silent type. 


Favorite things: Lots of Pulp Tropicana Orange Juice (not from concentrate), The number 3, Guacamole, Corn on the Cob, Jack White, Hobo leather products, the money you could be saving with Geico (seriously, I have a framed picture of it in my living room), Van Gogh paintings, Corner Kicks, The Wizard of Oz, Kettle Corn, Espadrilles, Sushi, Blue Glass.....I could go on

Team Edward

I went back to Michigan State this weekend to help the volleyball staff coach some youth "All Skills" camps. I still feel like I just graduated so how hard could this possibly be? 

Well, I got my teams, and it was all of 30 girls under 13 years old. I got stuck with the unfortunate job of picking team names for the three teams we split them into. I thought - what would girls who are 11, 12 and 13 years old get excited about....Team Edward! Team Jacob....and.....BIEBER FEVER! The girls were psyched about all of them except one. Team Edward?!?! The HORROR. This is about how our conversation went.


Them: "Team Edward? Eww"
Me: "Are you kidding me? He is so brooding and dreamy. He sparkles."
Them: "Team Jacob all the way"
Me: "Okay, he is cute, but he is like 18 or something. He's too young,"
Them: "We are 13."
Me: "Touche."


I watched Twilight (purely coincidentally) the Saturday after camps ended. Edward's hottness is confirmed, even though he is "too old" for my campers.


Christmas is right around the corner...Marley's creepy Christmas present

WTF is Cory Doctorow? (In this case the "W" stands for "who")

I write like
Cory Doctorow

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

So apparently I write like Cory Doctorow. There is this website that analyzes your writing style and will tell you exactly who you match up with.


You might think, that doesn't work, and how can they match that up?


I put in 6 SEPARATE writing samples (albeit from this very same blog) and every result but one was that I write like Cory Doctorow.


He must be a kick ass guy. Just for that, I must plug him. He's a blogger and a smart social networker.


TEAM COREY!!! Just kidding, team Edward. It's definitely the glitter and brooding.

I'm back and I've got Biebers

Well, the job hunt continues, lucky for me, I have an awesome family and friends that are helping me in the interim between school and making it in the work force. 


I was lucky/happy to find out that a couple people out there not only read my blog, but actually liked a couple posts. Awesome!So, I figured I wouldn't make it a full time gig (no one is paying for this shiz yet), but might just share some random internet gems/thoughts from time to time.  So, happy Wednesday! 


I think that my current running schedule and general teen angst assist in my high Bieber fighting stats.
