YAY! I am free of resposibility!

I just read my email and don't have to cover the desk of an assistant tomorrow. I was honestly dreading it and fearing a huge fuck up. Anyway I was thinking today about the things I wanted to do when I was younger. All the careers and stuff I got into. I am sure many of you had many ideas of what to do when you grew up. I started even thinking how much money had I spent on all these careers options. Although I still very much love my guitars... even though I don't play anymore. I spent quite a lot of money.
SO here is my list of careers I failed to complete.. well not failed, more like, they weren't for me...
1) Rockstar- I got shy
2) Lawyer- When I was in the about 5 years old my mom asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said lawyer. She asked why? And I said because I like to lie.... smart kid ey?
3) Chef- Yeah I can't make my own recipes. I copy others.
4)Figure skater- Uh yeah I live in Los Angeles, what the hell am I thinking.
5) Doctor- failed math. EVERY TIME
6) Disney Theme Park Employee- UH yeah, NO!

I am sure there are more but this is all I could think off right now. Seriously too much imagination going on. Speaking of Imagination, I had a dream about Conan O'Brien... go figure. We were driving along the coast line and he was going to hire me. I saved his career. Haha.. once again.. HUGE imagination going on.

Well I also got back to work at the Observatory. I was actually very happy to go back. Rainy outside though:
It's funny how the rivalry between L.A. and NYC exist. I am one to say Los Angeles is better, but I did truly enjoy NYC. Although when I mention it to family and friends how my trip went. Most are reluctant to say nice things about NYC. Most people say "Yeah it's nice, but do they have grass?" or "Yeah too many people"... both of which are true. But hey you gotta give it a shot. I think one of the things I realized about myself is that 1) I proved myself wrong about NYC and 2) I am open minded. I just think it is funny how we are very defendant upon our city. I do however find it ironic how I have become jaded of Los Angeles. It's not that I don't want to grow old here, I mean I hope I can. And I hope I can grow old, but I am in need of change. I am very much looking forward to traveling some more. It keeps me sane. I can't wait till I am up at the Eiffel Tower, or eating a Bratwurst in Berlin, or riding a bike in Copenhagen. I think after all the hobbies/ career ideas i've had, I have found a real passion in there, traveling. I just hope that it can lead me to a real job, but I can honestly say I am truly happy when I do it. And coming from East L.A., I am lucky to be able to do it. East L.A. is awesome, but we also have that stereotype that we don't aspire to much, so it is nice to break from that mold and to be able to say, "Yeah man I travel, I have goals and dreams and ambition and I've been an intern at Warner Bros, beat that!". But yeah and oddly enough after being that career oriented, I don't mind working part time. I don't want a full time job, because right now I am allowed to travel and be more free spirited. I am actually enjoying life and it has taken me a long time to realize that. And now that I have realized it, I am going to try and enjoy it.

BTW... this is the weirdest woman i've ever seen.. I don't think anyone should take any advice from her... but this is pretty funny. I guess anyone can write a book....
