annoyed!

I have a permanent headache...literally...it stays with me all day, it's there when I go to bed, and when I wake up, guess what's pounding? My head! And this morning, to top it off, I suppose I slept in some awkward position, so I have this HORRIBLE crick in my neck and I can't turn my head or anything. And doing an hour of yoga in the morning reduced it a little, but it's still awful. AND it's pouring outside and FREEZING on top of it, and guess who saw some snowflakes too? I still feel it's too early for snow. And I have way too much work to do. And the list can go on and on with my complaints. Today is just not the best of days :-\

I love encouragement

"...whatever you do, don't give up, and above all else don't listen to the people who tell you that you can't make a living in entertainment, because that is simply not true!"
~Dan Nainan

So, so true. I've been speaking a lot with Dan Nainan, the half-Japanese, half-Indian comedian (many of you may remember him - he toured with comedian Russell Peters). He's been helping me out a lot with my writing, how to go about it, etc. and we got to talking about the Indian community and the pressure to go into particular careers (engineers, doctors, etc.). In the process, he told me the above quote, and encouraged me never to give up, and that it's such a misconception that you can't be successful in the entertainment world (or rather, it's difficult to be).

Not that I had any intention of giving up, but it's so good to hear words of encouragement sometimes and to have someone give you the "OK" and tell you that you are doing the right thing. Thanks Dan =)

Oh and on a side note, he has never drank or smoked or done drugs just like me and was wowed that I hadn't - so to all you losers who make fun of me for it, BOOYAH, I got Dan Nainan on my side :-P

All right, I'm out, laterz people 8-)

blahness

Today is just one of those "blah" days...I'm so exhausted! I don't really feel like talking to anyone either, so this is about all the communication you'll get from me to you today! (nothing against any of you haha, I'm just completely dead today, for no particular reason either).

A quick shoutout to my friends in Michigan who have their IASA culture show tonight! I think it's either the largest, or the second largest culture show in the nation. ::sigh:: totally wishing I was there to perform in it one more time...oh well, good luck to everyone!!! I am sure the show is going to ROCK! :-D

Oh so this is totally random, but I was just tying my hair up into a messy bun right? And when I flipped my head, I noticed two red hairs! So I held it closer to the light, and it's true! I have two RED hairs! the hell?! Yeah it's so random - so now, I have a ton of brown hair, some black hair, and two random red hairs. God knows where I got that from.

Ok and this is my reminder to talk about my conference on Wednesday - it was sooo wonderful! note to self: give details of conference in next post (I'm to tired to do it now).

Anyway, ok I have the BIGGEST headache right now, so I'm going to get going. Later ya'll.

Don't play games

First and foremost, I need to get this off my chest. Most of you know that I am a very friendly person, and if you get to know me well, most people usually trust me with a lot of information and seek advice. And you know what? That's fine. I love helping people, and it makes me feel good to be trusted enough with issues/dilemmas, regardless of how big or small they are.

But there is one thing I will NOT put up with: someone continuously coming to me for advice, agreeing with whatever it is I say or suggest, then going out and not only disregarding anything I say, but going out and repeating the SAME mistakes over again! This hasn't happened just once or twice, or with just one or two people.

You know, I can understand disagreeing with what I suggest now and then - but TELL me that you don't agree with it! That's fine! I don't expect each person to take my advice blindly. But when you agree with it repeatedly, and even do so much as to say to me that it is good advice and you will do it, and then to go and just make the same mistakes again and again, honestly, don't waste my time.

I have enough on my plate - like I said, I love helping people, but when you just take me for rides, I'm sorry, but I'm not about to play games. You want my advice? Either take it, or tell me you don't agree with it and it's an honest exchange of messages. Otherwise, just spare me the trouble and let me use the time to focus on things I need to do.

I have had it.

Dilemma...

If I make one choice, I'm dropping another one far too important to me...if I choose the other one, the first is equally important...can both choices co-exist together? Right now, that seems to be a negative...

My happiness is most important? What if both choices contribute to that deeper happiness?

anyways, nothing else of particular interest going on. The Jaguars won today! But it was disappointingly close. UofM didn't play this weekend, so no updates over there.

I got to talk to Tara today which was so nice...I miss that girl like crazy. Considering I have known her since I was 7 years old, we grew up in the same town, and the same Indian community, and have been "sisters" for just as long, I really can't see my life without her in it! So Tara, if you ever read this, I love you!!! It was good to catch up today =)

Blah, I've been under the weather lately though. Awful cold, sore throat, losing my voice, coughing, just the whole package. It seems that, no matter how much I cover myself or take precautions to ensure that I am fully clothed so that I DON'T get sick, I always manage to fall with something during the weather change. Without fail. It wouldn't matter if i was wearing 5 layers, or a short sleeve shirt and a skirt - I'd get sick regardless. Ah well, nothing else to do, but hope that it goes away - and FAST.

That's all from my end. Adios!
