My Life Sucks
March 12, 2009
I hate my mom and I hate my dad and my grandmother. I started smoking weed and cigarettes when I was 12 years old because of the stress with living at home with my mother and grandmother. I never really got to see my father because of my stepmother and I hate that cause now I think it is his fault, too but it is not. It is hers.
I want to runaway and go to my friend’s house so so bad but after reading some of these stories I do not know what to do anymore. I have a boyfriend and I love him so so much, but he lives in another town, and sometimes I wonder if he is cheating on me!! I really screwed up my life, too, because I have had sex with so many dudes, and given them head so many times that everyone in my school calls me a whore. A friend, well at least I thought she was my friend, talks behind my back and now I do not wanna be friends with her, but I do not know what to say to her about it. This is all the reasons why I wanna run away. I am a 14 year old girl and I really need some help. If anyone knows what I can do please help me.
Dream Team
March 12, 2009
I read an article in Fortune magazine about Dream Teams failing to deliver. One of the examples was US all star basketball team failing to beat Canada in Olympics. Basic problem with Dream Team is accommodating the big egos and trying to gel the team. I was thinking about the kind of team that I would like to work with. The people whom I can work with should be easy going and should be able to laugh. Even though the laughter bit sounds like a trivial thing, I have worked with people who are so uptight that I haven’t shared one joke with them throughout the project duration. It is a stifling thing to work with such guys for a long time. Work and Play need not be separate always. A vague memory of a quote I read recently goes something like this – when you cannot distinguish whether you are working or playing, you might be on to something good. Even though money and recognition are important, in my view that comes after fun. The guy working with the only objective of promotion or salary hike may not be most productive one. I may have said this before too, but once again – it is not our eastern philosophy of not expecting anything in return. I think we have to expect something in return, but that thought should enter the mind only after dealing with the task at hand with all we can give. One more comment I read somewhere recently – a question to a talent agent was, what he does do to win future clients, and his answer was – taking care of his existing clients to the best of his ability. That should sum up my thought.
I digressed a bit, but the point I wanted to make is, if the choice is entirely mine, I would work with a people who are easy going, talented (just funny is waste of time) and ethical (I have difficulty working with people who won’t give 100% at least). I sound like a girl saying, “my guy should be funny, trustworthy and rich..”
On a different note, another dream team that failed to impress is Real Madrid. Yet another dream team is going to the world cup as favorites. I feel the Brazil is almost perfect, but need to see if that becomes their nemesis. World Cup has started and I am really excited. I haven’t been able to watch a world cup to my satisfaction so far. I used to play an entire world cup tournament all by myself, in our backyard, through group stages to final when I was in school. Anyway, this is long awaited. I have been following England team for quite some time now and I will be rooting for them – even though I don’t expect them to go all the way. I have couple of favorites there – Rooney and Gerrard – couple of real brave hearts rather than just a fat purse or big ego.
June is going to be busy.
A Rough Life
March 12, 2009
Hi Everyone! I’m Erin and I blog over at the state that i am in. Vanessa is busy with school and the like, so I thought I’d pop over and talk to you about my dogs.
It never ceases to amaze how much my two dogs love to nap. Seriously, why are they so tired? What is it that they do that zaps all of their energy? Not much, as far as I can tell.
Sure, they wrestle, play outside, and go for walks…but this doesn’t explain the extreme napping. For example, Rufus wakes up, goes downstairs and settles in on the couch for a nap. Really? You just woke up! When I’m at home his day goes something like this: wake up, nap, eat, go potty, nap on the couch, nap on the other couch, wrestle with Kaya, nap in the sunny spot, nap on the couch again, eat dinner, go potty, wrestle with Kaya, nap on the couch, ask to go to bed at 8 p.m. What a life! Kaya is an extreme napper too, but she just naps on top of me wherever I happen to be!
