I am re-posting a really cool article I wrote a ways back about marketing your brand called “ME” on myspace! I thought about this idea when I was reading e.How.com’s Tips on using myspace to ‘launch a career’. While the title interested me, I thought their tips were pretty scant in regards to being ‘different’ from other pieces of advice out there – especially since anyone can post a resume on yahoo jobs or hot jobs or anywhere else that…
Finding your unit.
June 18, 2007June 18, 2007 I spent the weekend in San Francisco! I was able to catch up with a ton of friends and am excited to see some of them come visit me in Sacramento this week! Its been challenging living here. I cant deny it. Less than a year ago, I was in the bustling city, working for 24hour fitness corporate, dining at great restaurants, attending various lectures and living a life I envisioned Id have at the age of…
Dimensions of a sublime image.
June 12, 2007June 11, 2007 Friday night was filled with sushi, sake, red wine and a live 80’s band. I can vaguely remember that late night. All I recall is freely moving alone on the dance floor and staring admirably in the front row in view of all the band mates. I even ‘drunk texted’ some friends that night, who were shocked at my state of consciousness at 3am. After 3 aspirins, a big bottle of water and 4 hours of sleep,…
Life Endurance
June 8, 2007June 8, 2007 Its hot here in Sacramento! I just came back from a short run with Tiger and am earnestly trying to pull some motivation out of me not just to complete this journal, but to also train again in the next half hour before dinner. New Zealand was great. Amazing how you can be one place yesterday and another place today amazing how all you have left is whatever remnant you kept to savor that moment. This morning…
My Happiness List.
May 23, 2007May 23, 2007 Greetings from New Zealand! I am writing in Wellington tired and exhausted from a long drive from Rotarura and a brisk evening walk downtown with my sister. I have been admittedly challenged by my family ‘holiday’, but those challenges are nothing a few frantic phone calls to Spence and some personal prayers can’t fix. In these chaotic, unpredictable days I realized even more that my happiness stems from knowing I am dedicating a portion of time towards…
Dual Faces.
May 13, 2007May 14, 2007 I am leaving tomorrow for New Zealand. While I’m excited, I fully admit that I haven’t packed, I haven’t closed all my projects and I haven’t researched anything about that beautiful country. All I know is that my passport is on my top right drawer in my bedroom. Believe me, I will be running around like crazy manana! In truth, I’m the type of person who doesn’t fully realize the upcoming event until I’m 2 seconds away…
Swimming with Nature
May 8, 2007May 8, 2007 I can’t find my cell phone. I’ve been without it for over 30 hours now. I looked in all my bags, my car, Spencer’s place, my parent’s house….nowhere! Honestly, while it’s annoying, it’s also very, very liberating. I have been guilty for 3am blackberry emailing exchanges… driving while texting…checking my emails while performing cardio…talking on the phone while at a register. How annoying! These days, (and especially today) I have attempted to stray away from the constant…
3 months.
May 2, 2007May 1, 2007 This past couple weeks Ive been feeling a deep sense of discomfort. I am in a new life routine, getting involved in new projects and settling into new relationships with peers. I have taken responsibility of mentoring kids, training my dog and directing elderly fitness activities. I am absolutely unsure of my ability to motivate and positively influence these new groups of people in my life. However, these new challenges have definitely caused me to become more…
Allowing the past to die.
April 26, 2007April 25, 2007 I went on an impromptu trip to L.A. this weekend with Spencer. I had the opportunity to meet his family and friends and share special memories with outstanding people. Its always a joy to visit new atmospheres that remind you of what true happiness means: positive relations with others and a loving energy between special people. Those who follow this site have probably noticed that in the last few weeks my journal entries have been tardy and…
