Chic of the Week
My first trip to the Hamptons is scheduled to happen in about 7 hours. We-Amanda and Janine from work are going as well!-will take the infamous jitney, and stay the weekend. I certainly hope the rumors about free snacks are true. We were lucky enough to remain on the good side of our director of retail, and are ‘working’ in the stores tomorrow and Saturday. We’ll have Sunday off, and I’m hoping to get to the beach before heading back. However, with two impending vacations ahead this month, I would sacrifice East Hampton beach in a minute of it meant I could not make home in time for Vh1’s ‘I Love Money’. Good Lord, I live for those people. Nothing makes me laugh harder these days than hearing “STALLIONAIRES!”
Next week I will finally be returned to the great state of Alabama. I simply cannot wait any longer, although I just realized this morning that both of my parents might actually give a damn that my license has been suspended and therefore not permit me to drive. Doesn’t matter too too much. With only 4 days to see my people, I plan to stick pretty close to home anyway. Maybe Rene would be willing to drive down. And Jenny too probably.
I would like to add SERENA and VENUS WILLIAMS to my list of black people helping to make 2008 the ‘Year of the Black People’. Good job girls. I mean, if I was a white man or woman who had been rearing my child in tennis, golf, or any other traditionally white sport I would yank their asses out right now and put it towards the November election. HA!
The US government gave me a lot of money back for taxes. Like, a lot. Even though moving to LA is less and less frequently discussed these days, it is so empowering to know that when I am ready I can pick up and do it with the money I put in the bank. I used to resent the fact that I was solely independent, but now I have an insatiable appetite for challenges.
I haven’t tithed any of the money I just mentioned, and this is making me feel incredibly guilty. I really need to visit Church, and will probably just donate all of the tithes I owe to my hometown Church when I go home. Tithing is only one of two (?) portions in the Bible where you are specifically instructed to test God. He says that if you test Him in this, you will always receive what you given pressed, shaken, measured out…er…something like this. Point is, give and you shall be given, um, more.
My next goal is my website. I bought it so long ago and have done absolutely nothing with it. Now that I have an appointment to get my new reel edited together, the website is next on the list. I am exhausted and frustrated and in fucking shock that I still don’t have an agent, but on the positive, industry nights are starting up at my studio again. Every Friday, a chance to land representation. My Kabbalah teacher says that I need to focus my energy on enjoying the process. No matter how long it takes, she says that I should just focus on the fact that this is my situation, this is my life, and working hard, then the result I desire will come much faster as opposed to me counting the days and the weeks that have gone by without seeing results from my efforts.
Roger that. Ciao ciao.
