Entry 058 | Lessons Learned

Been hanging out with a lot of girlfriends lately. And in talking with them, a lot of theories I've had have only been strengthened by validation from these like minds. Here's a couple:

1. #2s (younger sisters) know the importance of being inclusive and the significance of remembering stupid little details like who you saw that movie with or what stance you took in that one convo 2 years ago. And it's not because we're sad sensitive boobs; it's because as little sisters, we know what it feels like to be shafted and steam rolled. And we want to make sure that doesn't happen to others.

2. You have to be a bitch to gain a little respect and build a sense of intrigue about you. This is especially true in the workplace. When you're bitchy, you get what you want and people are scared of you. Even more so, they want to be on your side and be friends with you. This only works though if you're good looking. Otherwise you're just a bitch. In short, the witchier you are, the faster and further ahead you get.

That's all for now.

Entry 057 | I read good now

It's shameful, but I haven't read a book in a long while. Yesterday, I was reading something online and I found myself having to sound out a word a tad longer that I felt comfortable. It wasn't even a big word but it did have a lot of syllables. I started fearing that I'm forgetting how to read. I'd been scanning book review lists and wanted to pick out a good one. But it's been so long and I don't feel that I want to commit to any one just yet; I think I need to ease into it. So today I picked up some magazines because as we know, magazines have more pictures.

Currently reading:









I'll tell you what I find.

Entry 053 | Milton Glaser


ON TEACHING:
I think if you don't do something to project into the future that way, the possibility for total self absorption and narcissism becomes very much greater.
