Unemployment blockage.

Honestly, I wish I was able to keep up with this but it always seems that which each blog I begin I somehow end up getting writer’s block to the extreme. The pressure of being witty or informative or constantly updating something somehow intimidates me. It honestly shouldn’t because I have been writing since I can spell but for some reason the people of the interwebs (as I like to call it) just leave me at a loss.

Lately, all I can really see, hear, touch, taste, or even think about is being unemployed. I have been out of work for over a month and I am slowly and painfully losing my mind. I know in today’s economy I am far from alone but the idea of not being able to get up and contribute my eight hours a day to my family, to my girlfriend and our dog leaves me at a loss. Everyone has their purpose or at least the activity that gives them a sense of one and in the last month I’ve learned working is mine. It is a very arduous time for me but I will prevail.

Until then, I will be focusing on a mutual podcast with my girlfriend and I. So, I hope to have a link for you all very soon.

The Five W’s of Prayer.

The power of prayer is an act that a lot of religious humans in our world rely on, almost as much as anyone relies on breathing. As a Roman Catholic, I have seen the power of prayer first hand and I truly believe in its works. But, here are the bigger questions; who do you pray for? What do you pray for? How do you do it?

In my experience I have seen a lot of saying “Please fill in the name of your God or Goddess here, if you help me do this, I’ll do that.” Prayer is sometimes seen as a plea bargain which isn’t always a horrible thing. For me personally, I use the power of prayer to help provoke change in the world around me, be it the people in my life, be it my environment. I won’t sit here and say that I haven’t begged God for something for personal gain because I have. There is a higher power much greater than me, so of course I begged for a few favors along the line but a majority of the time I find myself praying for my inner circle; my mother, my father, my brother, all of my friends, girlfriend, and our dog. Yes, our dog. If you had any idea how much I love my dog this wouldn’t sound so farfetched.

So, now that I have talked my way into a circle. I’ll ask. Who do you pray for? Does prayer work differently in your religion? Do you believe in the power of prayer? The questions just came up in my mind so I figured I’d share.

Peace be with you.

Welcome to the new age. An introduction, or rather a plea so it feels like.

Okay, so take 203928329…

If I had a nickel for every time I made these potential blogs that were supposed to spiral me into the world of publication and get my work known, I’d be really stinking rich. Truth be told, I found out way too late that I was not meant for the world of Journalism. Well, I don’t think it was so much not meant for it as it was that the degree I was searching for in the field was essentially getting me nowhere.

However, thanks to a small bout of inspiration from a friend, here I am once again giving word press a shot. I’m not even sure that these posts will end up anywhere close to journalistic because my strengths in writing lay in the world of free creativity. I’ve always done better at writing how I wanted to, rather stick to a solid structure.

I must admit this is incredibly daunting because of my lack of confidence in my words and the inability to hide behind a character’s mind like I’ve spent the last six years doing. Yes, I’m a role player. It’s an incredibly misunderstood creative outlet but it has given me some of the most interesting experiences of my life to date but I won’t ramble on about the confessions of a teenage girl into her adult hood.

I hope that you find something out of my words. Even if it is the smallest feelings, I hope that when you come to read my works, be it about media, be it about daily writings, or whatever is going in my brain in that moment I hope that you can take away something from what’s said.

So, here’s to hoping I can at least touch a few lives even if it is my general circle of friends. To know I’ve made any kind of impact would serve as more than enough validity for me.

Until then…

Good night and good luck.

I’ve always wanted to say that.
