Don't just sit there, nothing will happen... Jessica didn't

Those very words were spoken to me by one of my friends. Ok fine, with all of my talking about how I want to go into the arts and want to make a difference why am I not doing much to pursue that? I have so many wonderful ideas on how I can further my goals, but haven’t really done much about it. I guess I could use the excuse that I’m too busy with the Oil Company right now, but that isn’t really true. One awesome excuse I have come up with deals with the pain of looking for a job. I was just there, wasn’t I? I sent my resume to billions of places, interviewed until it was coming out of my nose and became an active member of monster.com. I have a job don’t I? True but not the one I want. So I need to quit my complaining about where I am and do something about it! Don’t put off to tomorrow what can be done today. Nice one, huh? How come it is so very easy for people to talk, but so hard to do? Have we all been equipped with awesome ideas and vocal chords, but no way to take action?
So for a tangent to my ranting and raving to myself I met Jessica Simpson this week. My friend Laura won a contest on the radio for us to go to the z100 holiday party at Planet Hollywood. We were there for a couple hours, got to see the radio show DJs and got free food and then for the big moment… I won a t-shirt! Ok, that wasn’t it. Jessica came in surrounded by personal assistant and the like looking down at the floor until she got to the front of the room. We lined up like cattle, were pushed as fast as we could walk and before I knew it I was standing in front of this stranger. Ofcouse I felt like a moose beside her and her perfect body and perfect hair… I really wonder how much of that beauty is really hers. She smiled ( a forced one if I do say so myself) we said hi, there was mass confusion with cameras, flash went the camera, we said thanks and that was it. It was the most surreal experience of my life. I felt so awkward standing there with her arm around me… who was this person? Anyway… so much for me and famous people.
