when i started using all caps in emails with my coworkers, i realized it was time for a much needed vacation. ive been racking up vacation time at my job, which ive had for about a year now - and decided that i am going to use it more on ME kind of days. days where i have nothing to do but to create and accomplish for myself -- cause i have to admit, im really sick of putting all this effort on a daily basis for someone else. this fact has pretty much slapped me in the face in the last few weeks and im planning to MAKE MOVES in the next couple months. i hope to share the moves i make here for whomever stumbles upon this blog and definetly my loyal readers <3 (mini) internet/work vacation and will have many stories to tell when im back on wednesday.


peace.

biographical update -- reality show?

if you know me, you know that i am always trying out a new "scheme" on craiglist. ive realized lately that the doubt that i had about making money (or should i say ever HAVING it) needs to be turned into rage and full-force aggressiveness towards all the money that is out there in the world. one of my favorite places to do this is on craigslist -- and have been paid crazy amounts for doing the craziest of studies, gigs, and focus groups.

today i decided to take a chance and reply to a post for a Boston based reality show that is doing a casting call.

heres what the post read:

and here is what i sent them this morning:

My name is Seana, but my family and friends call me "Sauce", an affectionate nickname that I was dubbed with about 6 years ago and I'm convinced will never go away.

I am a 23 year old female living each day to the fullest. I am what I am and I have no shame in my game. I rap, I paint, and I talk fast. I have met someone from 80% of every country in the world. My biological father just "cut me off" along with 3 of my other sisters -- but I still am the oldest of 10 siblings.

I am a Capricorn "shorty", who is living the life of her dreams in a 200 year old loft apartment in the city of Boston. When I was younger, I really wanted to "change the world". Now i just want to see it and experience each day that I am offered. I adore classic hip-hop, jeopardy, strong coffee and even stronger beer. I am truly inspired by warm days, crazy dreams, delicious food & the independent talent that lies in the young adult generation of today.

I am the queen of getting things for free, and for flying by the seat of my pants. I am probably one of the most positive people you will ever meet - with a heart full of gold, pockets full of lint and a handful of cash that flies in and out of my hands so quickly. I give this city of Boston (where I have lived for 6 years now) all that I have, and once and a while -- I get it back. Tourists are the best source of income, but the desperate yet personable individual that I am, I participate in craigslist gigs, part-time jobs, focus groups and research studies at least twice a week. I was never rich -- never came from money, and my parents came from less than that. As children of immigrants they instilled a strong sense of determination -- and also a strong sense of pride in the personal values that you hold rather than how much money is in your bank account at a given moment.

I am in the very beginning phases of starting my own business. I received my first undergraduate degree (in Human Services) in 2008 from Northeastern- am became the first person in my family EVER to graduate college. I am getting my second undergraduate degree in Graphic Design for free thanks to the full-time job that I have. I am extremely interested in the human race, cultures, and how people make decisions and travel through this journey of life. I love hearing peoples stories - and I love taking chances. I can not wait to share my story one day.
