Reflections...

Do you ever look at your life and wonder how you got here? Yeah, okay, so I don’t by any means mean to be so melodramatic, but I sometimes just wonder when we all became grown ups, you know? And really this is probably all just stemming from this script that I am writing at the moment. ;)

Life is a funny thing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fabulous fantastic thing, but it’s also quite amusing ;) . I have done some amazing things, I’ve met some amazing people, but currently I sort of feel like I’m waiting in the wings for my next great adventure to start… although I am trying to keep myself occupied, but you know. Actually do you know what I mean? I really hope so… otherwise I might be in trouble ;) .

Well, like I heard from someone else, “Life is like a meter on a taxi – it keeps rolling even if you feel like you’re standing still.” So let’s all try and make each day count, right? Right.

Wow I really need to stop listening to this nostalgic music when I write these posts, lol ;) . I guess this is just me inner emo trying to break out… okay so no, actually I really don’t fully understand what emo is, so let’s leave that one off, hehe ;) .

Cheers!

The Pink Shirt

I'm wearing a horrible pink shirt right now. It's one of those shirts that I bought years ago thinking it was so fabulous, and yet never really wore it. So insert now, where I am now trying to get some use out of it. It's not working too well. I know I should just throw it out, and yet I can't.

Although not to go too deep into this, but that probably stems for my love for the past. There are three different kinds of people, those who live in the past, those who live in the future, and those lucky enough to live in the now (the moment). Sometime I have reached those euphoric moments of living in the moment, but usually I drift back into the past. Maybe it's a comfort thing? Who knows.

But, this post is not about myself, it is about the gawd awful pink shirt that I am now sporting. We all have one - well maybe not a pink one, but you know what I mean ;). I wonder if I will make it through the day wearing this thing? I mean do I even dare to go outside in it?

Yeah, I think I'll change.

I'm taking a moment to talk about love...

Yes, that's right, I am taking a brief moment to talk about something love related. Having talked with a few friends recently who are having this problem, and I myself have had this problem before, I thought I would bring it up here and see who here has had a familiar experience.

Yes, that's right, the whole liking someone who doesn't like you back, and yet having those who like you and yet you do not like them back. Why does this always seem to happen time and time again? It definitely is the story of my life - which is why single life is the life for me ;).

Are we sending out the wrong signals to those we think are just friends? Maybe it is because we are just friends that we are much more comfortable around these people who in turn like us for more? I do know that I tend to get a little flustered around people I really like, so in turn I suppose they do not really see the real me? But then again, after a few meetings this will go away, so... I really do not have an answer. All I know is that it has been happening for years to almost everyone, and will probably continue to do so.

And that whole "let's just be friends" conversation is really not a fun thing to do. Yeah, we all know how that is ;). Well, this is why I for one will just try and be friends only with everyone... but if any of you have any thoughts on the whole the people you like don't like you back, and the one's who do you don't really like in that way, please do share them! :)

My life as a poet...

"The Stranger On The Dock"
By Cathy Beasley

The wind blows through my hair
I breath in and slowly exhale
My fingers trace the rim of my now empty glass
I feel fulfilled in a way, and yet am missing something dear.

I take notice to the gentleman staring at me from afar,
Does he know something about me, or know me?
I seem to know him but only by spirit.
Is he too traveling to find that something in life?

The stranger gets up and walks towards me.
My heart begins to leap as he now stands near.
He now leans over and whispers softly in my direction,
“I know what you did.”

Freelance Writing Jobs: Constant Content

So in my never-ending quest to find more places where one can earn some cash while writing, I have stumbled across Constant-Content.com. They claim that the writers can set their own prices to ensure that they are not getting cheated out of what they deserve. When thinking about it, this really does seem like a great idea, but there is also that little problem of waiting around until anyone decides to buy it. I suppose if you wait long enough, eventually someone will, but then again, maybe not.

I just signed up with Constant-Content yesterday and am still awaiting my results. It is free to register and I have already submitted three articles that are awaiting a review.

They do offer a great little section of requested articles which seems like a great way to sell quickly (we shall see). The downside though, is that they do charge a commission of 35% of every article sold, which isn't bad to begin with, but it could prove to be annoying down the line.

But again, we shall see. I still write for Associated Content which is good to always buy pretty much anything and everything, although I have noticed that their prices have been going down significantly from when I first started writing with them.

It is a hard time right now for us fellow writers. Hopefully in a few months things will be better for us. But, until then I will try and share any new writing tips I can with you all.

Best of luck to all my fellow writers! =)

GUESS Tribal E/W Satchel Review

Handbags are like the personal carriers of our souls. They can enhance our personalities and are an extension of our true selves. Which is why choosing the proper bag is so very important.

The GUESS Tribal E/W Satchel is a great throwback to the Italian bags we all know and love. GUESS has always been able to create a great balance between ultra glamorous and staying casual, which is again true for this great handbag. The alligator print gives that exotic dressy feel, while also being something you could sling around your shoulder for everyday use.

The size of this retro-styled classic is large enough to store all of our essentials for the day, while also being small enough where not lose precious time while trying to aimlessly dig for those things we need. To continue with the function tone, the straps are thicker then most, creating a sure not to slip off the shoulder aspect.

For a wear with anything colored satchel, with sturdy makings, and a chic look, this GUESS bag will surely not disappoint as you strut your stuff each and every glamorous day.

This ultra conventional GUESS Tribal satchel retails for $88.
