Traffic Thoughts: It’s Been a While
Posted by in Los Angeles- Perhaps the biggest reason I haven’t done a “traffic thoughts” in while is a little known culprit that goes by the name of Twitter. I spent more time on it than I’d like to admit, but it’s a great place and frankly, I’m really puzzled by people who “don’t get it.”
- I finally finished reading Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451″ and thought it was an incredibly amazing book and concept. The idea of books no longer existing is frightening. What was more interesting than the actual book was an explanation at the end of how Bradbury went about writing it. Apparently, he couldn’t find any quiet time at home, so he found some space in the basement of the UCLA library where he paid to use the typewriter to churn it out. If you have an affinity for books, I would definitely recommend reading it. It’s also a good palette cleanser after reading the hot mess otherwise known as the Twilight series. Trust.
- I ranted briefly about it on Twitter today, but I have absolutely had it with people imitating others and stealing ideas, mostly because it’s been happening to me with people I thought I had long left behind in my past. I am just wondering what the benefit of doing this is? a) It feels cheap b) what does that say about you that you can’t produce an original thought? c) if you don’t have resources to steal from anymore, just who exactly are you? A collection of other people’s thoughts? d) why don’t you have enough self-awareness to realize what you are doing. Copying, stealing imitating = FAIL. You know who you are.
- I will be London-bound to visit my boyfriend in t minus one week! I’m excited, nervous, excited, happy, did I mention excited? Portobello Market and Covent Garden, here I come.
- I have been gathering up leads for the last two weeks, in an effort to send pitches out to magazines and other publications but I haven’t had a single moment to put together some cohesive ideas – this is when I really feel like there should be an eighth day added to the week, or better yet, the weekend.
- I’ve also been trying to put together ideas for an ezine I’ve been working on and a beauty blog, as well as trying to keep up with Margeaux Clyde and her journalistic endeavors. So. little. time.
