Busy…

Well I haven’t posted in awhile and thought I’d write a quick note.  I’m not sure if I mentioned this before, but I am currently working on my MBA degree.  The University I’m attending only offers classes in the evening - they are once a week from 6-10 for 8 weeks.  This first term I’m taking Corporate Finance and Legal Issues.  Finance is incredible challenging and time consuming.  Sometimes I wish I wasn’t such a perfectionist.  The good news is the class is almost half over.  I’ll have a new schedule and classes come the first week in March.

I’ve dabbled in freelance digital marketing and social media for awhile now.  Today, I’ve officially picked up another client.  I really like my freelance work and hope that I can find a job doing something similar to this when I graduate.  Fingers crossed.

That’s all I have for now.  Stay Square.

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. — Leo Buscaglia
And nothing ever happens if you stay in your room,
Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon,
Never be a winner if you’re not in the game,
Nothing ever happens if you always play it safe,
Make a little space,
And get out of your own way…

A lesson learned…

Something that has really been bothering me lately is the fact that many people do good deeds because they expect something back.  For example: they give a gift because they want something in return, they do a favor for a friend so they can ask that friend for a favor later or they perform a random act of kindness so they can preach it to the world.

When you give, you shouldn’t expect to receive.  The simple fact that you did a good deed should be all the recognition and praise you need.  When the underlying motive to your giving is receive something in return, it completely washes away any merit the deed had in the first place.

I guess what I’m trying to say is: do a good deed because you want to out of the goodness of your heart.  Don’t expect something in return and don’t expect praise. 

Cause when it all boils down,
At the end of the day,
It’s what you do and say,
That makes you who you are…

I went to the “Holiday Q Ball” at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA around the middle of December.  The Cab was one of the featured performers and I loved this song from the moment I heard it.  Give it a listen!!

Happy New Year

Today marks the end of another year.  2011 had its share of up and downs (mostly downs for me).  I’ve been wanting to start a Blog for quite awhile and now seems like a great time to do so.

I’ve decided to make blogging part of my New Year’s Resolutions.  Tumblr seems like a great site to share music, videos, pictures, quotes and the occasional written blog post like this one!  Here’s to a happy, healthy and enjoyable 2012!  Happy New Year!!
