Dangerously Delirious Daydreaming

As I am applying for work in the DC metro area, I have been indulging my "What I'll Be Someday" gene. Really seeing what I want, what I like. The answer is somewhat surprising to me, as a child who always wanted to grow up to be a Supreme Court Justice or a genetic engineer. What flips my lid is that while I've always loved to read and have stared at the world acutely, I never thought there was a living in it. Never ever occurred to me at all. How's that for being smart?

More to the point: I love art. I stare at the world every day with an eye to the beauty that rings as truth, dissecting lines and colors and intent in everything. Even two years ago I would not have seen many potential connections between art, reading and observational insight as a career (and this is while I was the marketing director for a ballet company!)

Long story short, throw user generated content, graphic design, journalism into this mix and strip my childhood shyness away and what's left is stunning. The world is creative - more so than ever before - and we are actively forming this crazy frothing wave of Experience. No more Madison Avenue scenarios of what everyone's doing. Grabbing this life by the tail and making a balloon animal parade out of it? Now we're talking.

To go along with my newfound enthusiasm for all this Communications, SocMed & personal journalism I've fallen headlong for Rachel Maddow. It works. Really. Reflecting on my values of humor, matter of course bravery and wry wit and it's a no-brainer.

My goal: Get a nice car (below). Hit it big in the industry, as I know I will. Drive said car from apartment to nifty gathering of niftier people. Genuinely like talking to these people. Meet Rachel, chat, become friends. (really. Her partner seems sweet and fun.) Start a book exchange and start playing pinball with the possibilities!
