Rough Times, behind and ahead

So it's been a bit of time since I last blogged. Been super busy, sometimes in a good way, sometimes not. My best friend is mad at me so barely speaking to me, and that has not helped me feel better about life.

Funny, how the most important people in your life are the ones that can make a difference in how you feel every day. About yourself, about life, optimism, pessimism. And sometimes, you fight over something that is mostly nothing and just wonder why and how to fix it even when it seems the other person doesn't want to make the effort.

I love my friend more than anything, but sometimes I just wish life around him could just be normal. Never having to walk on eggshells, never having to be careful what you say, so you don't bruise the ego. I just want to be myself, ALWAYS. But sometimes life isn't that easy, not so cut and dry. Everybody is different, and you have to learn how you need act to be around some people. I've learned you can NEVER expect someone to change for YOU. You have to make the changes in yourself. Adapt, learn how to be around each person in your life. But NEVER expect they will change for you. If you love someone, love them for how they are and don't try to mold them into what you think is perfect. It never works! EVER! Life would be too easy if we could change others just like that. So we have to take the hard job to change ourselves. But that is enough about that.

So recently I did ruby-red lip makeovers at a Valentine's Day party which was a huge hit. And even more recently, my friend Marissa and myself did face-painting for a Mardi Gras party. That was fun and creative and was at the beautiful 230 Fifth Penthouse lounge. Great place for a party AND always free to get in. Most beautiful views in the city from the lounge. And they have a year-round penthouse you can hang out on.

Andy Troy, a friend of mine has a great social networking group called Tasting New York City. Check out the website: www.tastingnyc.com. Join up and come to some parties. I know the next party is a cocktail party and wine tasting. Should be lovely.

Just finished a music video, which I can't wait to see. We shot all over New York City and the outer boroughs. It was cool to see the city like this.

Hopefully, I will be doing a reality TV show, soon. Fingers crossed. Somewhere there has to be a break. It's just such a long time coming.

Well, I leave you there, with the hope that with the Spring coming, good luck and new opportunities will all be coming our way.
