Good Book of the Month

Image
I go through so many books on my Kindle because it’s hard to find an easy read that keeps me turning the page, or if I can even get past the first few paragraphs! I'm very critical about what I read, so when I recommend a book there is definitely a reason for it. My pick for the month of November is  The Enemy We Know by Donna White Glaser  and it happens to be FREE on Kindle. If you have the same trouble finding a book like I do you should totally look her up!

6 Ways to Become Successful

Here are a few tips that will help you become successful, these are the things I did or continue to do anyways. 1. Quit blowing your money on stupid things. If you want to achieve any goal, you must first establish a budget, and only buy the things you actually need so you can save the rest for whatever your future entails. Even if you’re not sure what you’re saving for, you should still do it, because one day it will come to you and you’ll be ready. There have been periods in my life where my entire wardrobe fit in a single backpack, and I wiped my ass with newspaper because my focus was not on the "here and now", it was on where I wanted to be. 2. Stay out of the bar. Being the popular one at the bar is like being popular in high school- it doesn’t mean shit in the real world. People who create their own success don’t drink their lives away. Success is mind, body, and focus. It’s hard to focus when you’re drunk or hungover all the time, and anyone who says they

How I Celebrate My Holiday Season

Holidays have never been a great experience in my life, but over the years I’ve made them into something that’s unique and special to me. While everyone is arguing about the color of their Starbuck’s cup, and counting the days till their next holiday party, I am doing what I always do- honoring my dead. Most of my dead aren’t family members, but they are all family to me for one reason or another. Death is the part of life that you don’t think about when you see someone smile for the very first time. As I have grown into the person I have become I make sure to capture that moment inside my head when I meet a beautiful soul. Do whatever you want with your holidays- just make sure they mean something special to you because that is what's truly important. At the end of the day coffee cups don’t mean shit, they end up in the trash anyways.

An Odd Salesman

Today a salesman from a company we already have an account with, and purchase from regularly came into my office. As soon as we made eye contact he suddenly lost the ability to speak. Mind you, I’m wearing jeans and a t-shirt so I’m not sure what that was all about, but there was a lot of stuttering on his behalf. I asked him bluntly, “What do you want?” He started to make small talk about the building, and looked around my office like it was some foreign world. Then he started petting my dog, and commented about how catlike she was. “What do you want?” I asked again. Two thoughts came to my mind at this point. Either this guy was hung over, or he hadn’t been laid in a really long time. Probably both. After asking him for a third time why he was in my office, he finally gave me an answer I could work with. “What can I do to improve our service to you?” “Perhaps if your delivery drivers learned how to read, they wouldn’t screw up our orders on a weekly basis. You co

5 Things Men Say to Me Because I am Tattooed

A common misconception among men is that all tattooed females are either strippers or have naked pictures of themselves on the Internet for them to drool over. Here are the top 5 random comments and questions that are part of my every day life in some form or fashion because I’m heavily tattooed: 1. “You must really like pain.” Followed by a perverted half grin and usually some personal adjustment around the waistband area. Ew. I don’t even dignify this with an answer, I simply run away as fast as possible. It frightens me that this approach actually works for them too, because why else would they use it? 
 2. “Are you a Suicide Girl?” No, no I’m not. While some females aspire to get photographed naked for $500 and a t-shirt for that membership website I do not, have not, and will not. This question actually makes me cringe because I have spent the last 8 years of my life trying to empower women to identify and follow actual goals. 
 3. “Can you spin around for me so I can
