i love old people!

today i was getting my ticket for the train and an elderly gentleman came up to me to ask if I could help with buying his ticket. He was SO cute!!! He had a roll of quarters in his hands, wearing a light blue sweater, jeans and sneakers. heh. Anyway I helped him get his ticket and put the quarters in, while he was doing that he said " I wish I could get money this fast!" Then we walked upstairs together and he's said, " oh wow! what a great day" I laughed and said, "yeah, its beautiful." When the train came up he walked over to a different cart than me because he "didn't want to go backwards" it was nice.

becoming love.

Today I was wandering around on the web and ran across j.m's new website/blog and it moved me to want to start my own blog. There is something very therapeutic about writing - and therapue is what i need at the moment. 

So I'll start of the same way Mr. Mayer started: Set my goals. (some of his goals are the same as mine)

I want to use this blog to truly tell you who I am. 
I don't want to link to someone else's culture, that says nothing about me that I want you to know. 

I want to be happier in the present than outside of it. 
I want to be fearless and remember not to compromise a thing. 

I want to be the light of someone's life.

I want to put in 100% of my self  into all the things I'm involved with.

Two things I'll be acknowledging more from now on:
1. Thank you. 
2. I am lucky. 

I want to be love.

just a designer

Today, I met the head and owner of  D Mag. I was a bit nervous because I had heard various things about him. We were waiting for the Monday Morning announcements to start and he came up to me. Shook my hand and said he has not met me yet. I told him my name, he repeated it and kind of  looked at me funny. Then he asked what I did in his office. I told him I work in the Advertising department. "Well what do you do in the Advertising Department?", he asked. 

 I responded nervously- "I'm just a designer. " 

He said, " Just a designer? Thats not how we think of ourselves here." ... and then walked of.

Lesson learned. 

I am not just a designer.
