It's time to fess up

There comes a time when the things that you thought were good ideas are not such a great ideas and the ideas of others (which you so eagerly blew off), sounds real good right now. It is during that time that you should be a man about the situation (even if you are a woman) and fess up!

My situation is... well some may consider it to be sickening. I have done less in the last two months than I have my whole entire life. Believe it or not people, I'm a bum. And it's not the fact that I am a bum that bothers me, it is that there were so many good suggestion and options that I could have taken that I was too stubborn to take and I'm fessin' up just for the sake of honesty because I believe in being true to thyself, i.e. William Shakespeare: To thine own self be true. 

How many of you recent college graduates don't have a job? Many, few... all?! Well I have tmobile fav five and 3 of my talented fav five friends who have recently graduated from college don't have a job either! Isn't it sad? Well sad ain't the word folks because it's hard out here for more than a pimp these days. A sista can't even butter her bread, ya heard? I mean I got butter but the bread was molded so I had to throw it away and I have not the strength, patience or just plain interest in washing all those dirty dishes so as a result I don't even have a clean knife. But I don't think yall hear me.

If you are reading this and you have a Communications related job to offer me, I have experience in web editing, a little web design, copy editing and local news reporting. My email address is aerialm@gmail.com and I live on this Mac so shoot me an offer I can't refuse. If you are looking for a magazine writer who has experience in entertainment news, columns and copy editing check out of my floundering fav five friend Veronica. I wanna give a shout out to my girl Lisa who has her M.B.A., a new house, her own car and no job. 

Anywho people the point of this post is to ask you to be open the next time someone offers you some advice. Try to do things outside of your comfort zone because you never know if it works until you try it!

Aerial follow your own advice. "Try to do thing outside your comfort zone." Take one of those out of state offers. In your own words "you never know if it works until you try."

Tunnel Vision

Last week a fellow journalist died in a car accident. A lot of people at my job knew him as a kid from SIUC who died in that terrible accident the other day but I actually knew that kid, Ryan Rendleman. I went to school with him, I worked with him at the school newspaper and most times I talked about him on the phone with my girlfriend because that Rendleman was truly a trip.  His passing made me realize how quickly our lives can be taken away from us and how I really haven't done much to contribute to society, or to my obituary if I were to die today.  When I hear about someone my age or younger being pregnant, getting married or doing something that I would consider a grown up act, I gawk at how advanced they are, in a negative way, when I should really be getting just like them because life is so short!  I am in my early 20's, just graduated from college, have never lived out of Illinois, have never smoked, don't have any tattoos, interesting piercings or children.  This

Being an old souled Mother to this new generation of kids

My preteen daughter called me bruh the other day. Lets let that sit there for a minute.  Okay so scene: She was fussing via text at me about having phone screen time on the weekend. That its not fair because she is the only one with it, when all she wants to do is play group chat games with her little raggedy tail friends. For those of you who don't know: screen time is a feature embedded into your updated iPhone and apple devices, used to monitor the way you use your device. You can use screen time to get information about what you and your family members spend time on your devices, which apps and websites you use, how often you pick up your device, in a given day or even hour. You can also schedule time away from your screen, set time limits for certain app usage and block calls from certain people during certain times. So now that you know what her issue is, now hear my issue: I wouldn't care if she was talking to a family member at 11:58pm... once that Midnight screen time

One nice hot summer day, as you're minding your own business, sitting on the couch twiddling your braids between your fingers, listening to a little r&b, your favorite cousin calls to tell you that she is getting married next year and she would love for you to be her Maid of Honor.  You hop up, yelling Congratulations, OMGee of course I will favorite cousin, I would do anything for you! Thank you so much for choosing me! Where do we start!?  She calmly says, "I'm so glad to hear you say that favorite cousin, because in order to fit the dress I have in mind, you'll have to lose 40 pounds."  The music seems to abruptly stop. Your smile slowly turns to a frown. You plop yo fat ass back down and what, might I ask, comes out of your mouth next?  Lets consider the situation: this particular family member, this cousin whom you revere as a sister, whom you fully frontal bear hug and rock side to side with upon arrival and Color Purple slow hand clap when the two of yo
