Listen to Patti Stanger, Ladies!

I am totally obsessed with the Millionaire Matchmaker, Patti Stanger. I idolize her and I wish that I knew what I know now (after watching the show)! Single girls, if you have a few hours, take them and watch Patti in action. Her rules are so accurate. Play close attention to the details of it as well (Ahem, waiting until your are in a COMMITTED - MONOGAMOUS relationship). The rules are in place for a reason, ladies.

80 Million Strong

Economic Crisis has really made it tough for everyone one to find jobs and even worse for new graduates to find work. My friends over at QVisory introduced me to this new cause. I feel strongly about this issue and for 20 somethings finding jobs they are passionate about. So, take a look!

80 Million Strong is:

Convening a summit of young people in Washington, DC to discuss this problem and propose solutions

Developing federal legislation based on the summit's recommendations

Building a grassroots coalition that truly reflects and empowers the Millennial generation

Neptune in Retrograde

Look out, folks! Neptune is in retrograde. This causes causes sensitivity and receptivity to be much more acute and it'll be running to November 4, 2009. I'm scared because Neptune rules denial. I was told by someone that this is the universe "kicking our butts into gear". Here is the most interesting article I found on it. If you'd like to know more, email or comment me and I will forward you my guru's information.

Inside Allure: Sunny Side Up

I was flipping through Allure this weekend at the car wash this weekend and I found this very interesting article. It's called, "Sunny Side Up" by Jenny Bailly. It focuses on the 10 easiest ways to start looking on the bright side. When you are an optimist, you live longer and build strong relationships with the people around you. Sounds like a dream, right?

If you can, pick up the magazine! The article is really enlightening and helpful. For the Cliff's Notes version, don't get sucked into the emotional quicksand and stay positive!

Two New Albums

I rarely write about music, but for the last 2 weeks, I've been heavily into Grizzly Bear (thanks James) and the new Silversun Pickups album. Grizzly Bear is a really chill-out type of album and Silversun is more about rocking out and talking about feelings. The two are completely different but I'm in love. I think the last album where I could actually listen to the whole record through was Radiohead In Rainbows. So, take my advice and log into iTunes or Amazon and buy the two.... Let me know how you like them.

Making Little Life Improvements

Making little life improvements makes a big difference, I'm finding out. Thinking positively and realistically really makes the day go by faster and more clearer.

This is what I'm Doing:
Cleaning out all of the excess stuff in my life.
Getting organized - Having my thoughts and "stuff" in good condition.
Keeping check on my goals. - Am I working toward them in every possible way?
Making time to exercise. - Hey, it's a stress reliever!
Surrounding myself with honest, mature, and REAL people.

It's only day 3, but I'll keep you updated on how it goes.

Friends on Break Ups

I'm not going to say who gave me this sound and peaceful advice, but I need to keep her around. This is one thing that made sense to me after an awful day. Some dude gave me the ax, which is fine and understandable. I've learned from my mistakes and it took one day.

"well I don't know too many details... but if you think it was your dramatics to a certain extent that were the problem... decide if you're serious about this guy. and if so, find ways to prove to him that you can tone things down. and if not, learn from it "

Thank you, dear friend, for being an honest and genuine person. It really helps when you know people are on your side.
