I Am A Warrior

I don't workout to look good anymore. I'm working out for a purpose; to be the best.
MORE later.

I'm think I'm going to go downtown tonight. Maybe work on my screenplay?

I know... so artsy. Leave me alone!

I've been spending so much time freaking out about this career thing. I have no idea what the hell I'm doing... I just know that I need to finish what I've got going on right now. School, for instance, has been a battle this semester. I have no interest in anything I'm taking (other than my Brit Lit course which is totally amazing). There's very little for me to go off of, and it's sad. I want to be something, you know? I want the opportunity to be successful- to be a big deal.

We'll see what happens. More later.

peace. love. fried chicken. wtf?

God Dammit...

I'm so bored
I should be studying
but I don't want to

Vacation

I have no idea what I'm going to be doing this summer... so I'm thinking- you know, maybe I should take a little vacation? I just got back from Paris in December, so I was thinking... maybe somewhere in the U.S.?

I always love me some New York... you know that's true- but it's so dang expensive! Then again... think of all the money I would save shopping at H&M versus the department stores here in Kansas City (Nordstrom continually screws my bank account).

My boyfriend has never seen the ocean... so maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to hook up a little beach vacation? I'm trying to figure out who the hell I know that lives near the ocean. What? I'm not above mooching for a place to stay- I'm clean!

Then again, a little Colorado mountain vacation sounds fun. I'm absolutely obsessed with the outdoors. A couple of summers ago I did a mountain biking expedition and it was an absolute blast. Besides, the altitude in Colorado makes getting drunk a lot easier! Cheeper too!

Decisions, decision.

CHEERS!

Economic Times: The Condition of Life and Spending in the United States of America

There's no question; times are tough. Personally, I have four friends who have either had severe financial issues, or their parents have claimed bankruptcy. It's scary, you know? Watching the people around you crumble is not exactly fun.

The New York Times reports that an astonishing 651,000 jobs have "disappeared from the American economy in February," causing the unemployment rate to rise to 8.1 percent. This is, of course, an American tragedy. What does the future hold for my generation? Competition.

With companies eliminating entire departments within their operating forces, competition for jobs will soar. Rest assured, though, the productivity of these companies will rise. It is my belief that, while companies are executing mass layoffs as a means to save money, they will eventually hire only the most capable individuals as investments, not fillers. Corporate executives will be paid less and work more, personal assistants will be a thing of the past, and the desire to compete for degrees will be greater than ever before.

Shifting gears, I'll tell you about a statement my grandfather made to his son-in-law, my father. While my parents were divorcing, my grandfather looked my dad in the eye and said, "Son... sometimes stress is a good thing." My father has referenced that moment many, many times; he hated my grandfather for saying that. I've thought a lot about that statement, lately. I was thinking to myself, "how in the world could stress be a good thing?" Certainly gramps wasn't making the claim that stress is good for the body; he was saying it was good for the mind.

When we become stressed we are highly aware. We look for a way to become unstressed and, as a result, end up solving problems. Sure, the best remedy in life is to operate in such a way that will prevent stress from occurring, PERIOD. However, stress is ultimately a part of the ride. It's an unavoidable element of life; the mistakes we make without anyone knowing about it; a battle with our own minds.

I foresee a time of stress, hardship, and learning. This experience will make us better- more prepared; readily awaiting the next crisis with which we will deal with poise and efficiency.

A question I pose to the world is... how should we spend? If we have money, do we spend it as though nothing has changed? Not much has changed for me, and I can tell you this... I'm still living my life. Sure, I have cut back on a few things... but I'm not going to be scared to spend money that I have for things that I want... to some extent, the ability to do what I please brings me happiness. If I can do it, I will.

Think about it. Correct me where I'm wrong.

I'm sick!

I'm sick and it SUCKS! I would really, really like to go out tonight, but I won't be able to!

I know, I know- there are worse things.



But hey- check it out... if you're interested in a really chill night- grab yourself a movie ticket to Watchmen. It's SUCH an amazing film. Yes- it's al little gory and a tad bit long... but it's different. It's fresh-something you haven't seen before. Definitely, DEFINITELY get the book after you see the movie. It's worth the read.

Scary Times!

For as long as I can remembe, I've had a passion for writing. Currently, I'm a senior at the University of Kansas and I still have that passion. However, I find it to be daunting, really, that the only thing I'll be paid to write will most likely involve memos or briefs. I want to report; tell people the necessary information in order to spike their interest or improve their lives!

I'm sort of at an impass. Do I take the run of the mill job and try to be happy, or do something that I KNOW will make me happy. The problem is, how do I know whether or not it will pay off? I guess thats the meaning of taking a chance.

Ultimately, I would love to publish and design my own magazine. I know- that sounds insane considering print media is essentially dead- but my god! How amazing would it be to present your image- your passion to the masses on pages and pages of high gloss paper? Where is the magazine that combines the social AND politial lifestyles? You can talk about so much more than politics. Look at archetypes, for instance... Take a political situation and analyze the individual spearheading the issue- why colors is he or she wearing? What do they mean? How are they presenting the topic? I know, that seems very bland and uninteresting- but it's the first thing that came to mind under pressure.

Moving forward--- I also love to tell stories. Literally, when surrounded by a group or when I'm on camera- I couldn't be happier. I love making people laugh. I love discovering the simillarities between myself and the people around me- it's the bonding force that allows us to create relationships and conversation.

Scary Times.
Who will I be?

All Hail the Princess of Pop

If you haven't seen the latest photo/video of Britney's Circus tour, then I suggest you do some googling! This girl... is HOT!

I myself will be attending the Kansas City performance and I could NOT be more excited. I've been a huge fan of Britney since her first studio album in 1999 ...Baby One More Time.

I was 10 years old (So, so gay).

Nonetheless, Britney is said to be gaining confidence and, at this point, nothing can stop her.

Perez Hilton, celebrity blogging personality, gave Britney RAVE reviews on his blog www.perezhilton.com. He says that prior to seeing the show he was unsure as to whether or not Britney was going to be mentally stable enough to handle the weight of this tour.

After seeing the show, Perez has certainly changed his mind. Giving MAJOR props to the singer throughout the article, Hilton manages to include some words of respect with regard to Britney's backup dancers and crew.

"The most jaw-dropping moment of the show was when Spears performed Breathe On Me accompanied by two aerialists," Hilton says. "...Who turned their bodies into a bed and sent Britney flying into the sky with them!"

Clearly, this show is pulling out ALL of the stops. There is no telling what Britney's in-the-round Circus tour will be like... but you better believe I'll be there to see it!

April 2, yall!

Apple announces new Mac Pro, tweaks iMac and Mac Mini

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/03/03/apple.macpro/index.html

My View:

Bravo Mr. Jobs, bravo. With all of the hype surrounding Apple's laptop computers, I'm so exctied that Apple is improving upon its line of desktop computers. With the superior shelf-life of Apple's machines, I find it REALLY exciting that the company has made the decision to lower the price point of their machines while improving upon the products. In my opinion, this company cares about their products and their customers.

HELLO!

My name is Cameron and this is my blog. I know, I know... I've conformed to the fad of blogging! I'm SUCH a follower! Just kidding. Actually, there is a purpose behind wanting to take to the Internet and express my views and opinions; I love to write. In high school I had a few pieces published in newspaper/magazine outlets... however, since College, I haven't had the time to sit down and write much of anything.

Hopefully, by frequently updating this blog, I'll be able to expose you, the reader, to an opinion on various subjects separate from your own; maybe, just maybe, I'll have an influence on you. Topics of discussion will range from within the media and pop culture to newsworthy information that involves all people.

I have my views and I have my opinions. You don't have to agree with them and you certainly don't have to like them. In fact, I'd be happy to receive YOUR opinions, your views; reader input means people are reading!

I'm excited about this and I plan on putting all my effort into making this a viable, interesting outlet for information.

No Worries,

Cammo
