Attitiude

Attitude is complicated. Thinking of attitude in terms of image, I think of Madonna in the eighties or Prince(always and forever). Other times I think of attitude in terms of someone who's acting bitchy or myself, for that matter, acting bitching. On other occasions, attitude can refer to one's choice in their reaction to a given situation.

I think that one's life is both guided and molded by attitude. People are attracted to positive people as well as positive energy. This can lead to untapped opportunity whether it be new friends, a future love or maybe even a job offer. There is no harm in a positive attitude. Spread the love.

Happy Medium

I started the semester, I take that back the past two semesters, obsessing over school. I believe that you should care, but I was becomming, or have been becomming a little OCD, or maybe a lot. I don't have a lot of time in between work and school, but I do need to make more of an effort when it comes to incorporating a social life into my world. I don't want to completely close myself off. It's a good thing that I'm a waitress-- lots of people all the time. I think that all of the obsessing has a lot to do with my dedication to my studies in the past. I had no confidence in myself as a student, therefore, I would either drop the class or just not go after a while. I didn't believe that I had it in me to graduate. It's all about confidence. As F.D.R. stated, "There's nothing to fear but fear itself."

Yesterday I was at work, waiting tables and in comes that nerdy looking guy from the movie, Juno. I had to look up his name and it's Michael Cera. He played the character, Paulie Bleeker in the film. I actually hadn't seen him come in, but one of my fellow waitresses pointed out the fact, and then asked, or rather, told me that I was going to wait on him. She later said that she gets too shaken up around famous people, so I said, "why the hell not." He was probably 10 years my co-worker's junior as well as just a person, but who am I to judge. He was a nice guy, seemed kinda sweet and introverted, didn't say much. The only other actor that I've waited on was Jack Black about 6 months ago. It's so weird because I was working with that same girl and I never work with her. He had a large group with him but he was very quiet, actually and a generous tipper.
