I'm mad ticked off because I can't find the adapter for my camera. I recorded some video of Oscah's rehearsal from last night and was about to post it to his page on youtube and put the pics up. Looking for small things such as this remind me about how I always learn lessons when I'm looking for something. Funny how when you are missing something it becomes your favorite. It's crazy how I will look high and low for things that don't matter but the things that do I act like I can't search it out. I didn't mean to get philosophical with you but hey it is what it is.

Preparing for this concert has been a big lesson in promotion. For one I'm very glad that I've gained support from The Roanoke Times, The New River Voice, and the NRV Current. I've connected with their Arts & Entertainment people and they each agreed to come out to the show. I hope they show up and that we can establish a solid relationship with them for the future. I'm proud of this because this is my claim to media relations. Hopefully everything will work out. I'm excited about the show because it has taken time for things to pop off for the dude. I'll post pics and video later.

After the concert, depending upon how late I stay out and how much I celebrate with the band I head up to DC for a career workshop with APCO Worldwide. I'm excited but then again a bit nervous. I interviewed with the VP of Human Resources and to be honest I didn't think it went well. I really didn't have any solid questions or things I wanted to know about APCO except how I could fit in. I like the way they arrange their business because it offers variety. I really won't know what's up until I go there and meet the people. In the mean time I saw an Account Coordinator position with a strategic media group so I'm going after it.

Still, I'm not too concerned about finding a job directly after graduation. I just want benefits and a salary. Lol. We'll see.

Fully Functioning Society

The course that I thought was so riveting is now becoming less of such. This is probably because the questions I ask people just give blank stares as if I'm speaking Chinese, African what have you. I think it is more of a self-confidence thing. I have a high need for feedback and when people don't say anything I start thinking something is wrong with me. Silence makes me nervous for some reason. If that last sentence was a lead to an article I would have gotten absolutely no coverage. So glad I can have a forum where my writing is not being judged. My question today is does PR add value to society? Should it seek to help make society fully functional? We can see now that the consequences of a corporate culture of greed and self interest is finally bearing bitter fruit for so many industries. So now the public is demanding that CSR be the very core of business. But beyond that should PR seek an orientation to make society fully functional? This was the argument in class tonight.

This One's For The Ladies

To give some context to this statement I'll tell the story of Ruth and Boaz. Ruth's husband died and she decided to stay with her mother in law, Naomi. Naomi and Ruth are dirt poor and go through a lot of tragedy where they are. Instead of returning back to her family she decides to keep the customs of her mother in law. Naomi has a distant relative Boaz, who happens to be mad rich. Naomi tells Ruth to work in Boaz's field to make ends meet. Long story short Boaz takes a liking to Ruth and eventually they get married. Through all of the struggle Ruth went through she ends up with someone that is best for her. Now that you know this story you will understand this comment I saw on facebook: Hey Ladies, "Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz. While waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for ANY of his relatives: Brokeaz, Poaz, Lyinaz, Cheatinaz, Dumbaz, Cheapaz, Lockedupaz Goodfornothinaz, Lazyaz or Marriedaz and especially his third cousin Beatinyoaz. Please, wait o

The Death of Nick Charles

This is my first post of 2013! This isn't really the post that I want to start the year off with so let's play catch up. For New Years I went to church, shot my first gun and drank champagne with my cousins. I was pretty excited to get back to work for the Spring semester. One reason being because each semester serves as a fresh start. Another reason being because I had a class that wouldn't start until February, so my load this time around is much lighter. I enrolled into an acting class. Our first assignment, and the reason for this post, is to pick a poem that could be delivered in a minimum of 2 minutes in length. I don't follow poetry too much so I chose the first long poem in Black Voices. It's called The Death of Nick Charles by Everett LeRoi Jones, who I later found out is Amiri Baraka. I heard of the author but never heard of the poem.  Not having a clue who Nick Charles was I did a search and found out that he was a sportscaster that died recently. This
