Wonders of Aries

    I, along with many Disney customers have received the dreaded e-mail that has announced local Disney Stores were officially closing. I woke up to this image as I was starting my morning and this has portrayed my 2021 as something that doesn't seem to get any better. A bit dramatic? Yes and I do not feel guilty or ashamed for feeling this way. Why? Despite the circumstances of a global pandemic due to the COVID-19 virus that may become an official, endemic. The Disney Store has been a happy space for me and has eased my anxiety by just being surrounded by things that I associate with the very few happy times in my childhood. I have never been to Disney Land or Disney World so the Disney Store is as close as I have ever came to it, along with watching vlogs on trips to Disney.  Now, before, anyone starts to comment on social distancing protocols, I have been taking as much precautions when I go to a large place like the Disney Store which I am ashamed is non-essential and I felt

  Volunteer- Freely offering to do something without payment  When we hear the word volunteer it's one of many things that pop into our mind. The first being, "That's a generous person" and the second being, "This person has too much time on his/her hands" and the third being, "I need the job experience" and the fourth being, "She/He must have to do the dirty jobs and love being a doormat."  Sadly, one of these things has popped up in my head and numerous others when I say "I volunteer" either it be in a hospice as a singer that I can no longer do because of COVID-19 protocols and the lack of safety, being a museum tour guide or my new found position that I'm waiting to hear on, is a virtual speaker for classrooms. I miss working in my prefer field which was helping university students in Ethnomusicology classes and working with the NASA program. It's amazing and depressing to remember my time there and try to take what

  Job Searching, its been the constant fear and dread or in some cases the utter delight to find your place in the work force. But the latter for some of us Millennials like yours truly, finding work in my department has been a constant let down and the difficulties of helping raise someone else's children as they get their own life together and you are left with the pieces that's been on your shoulders since the age 13.  Did I get too personal there? Yes. Is it profession in a blog post that is open to the public or that could be used by DCS or a Hiring Manager? Yes and no. Why? Because I need to let people know that are within my age group or even in the similar situation to know and understand that you are trying and you will make it through this setback. Yes it is a setback. You and I have been trying to get our lives back in order from a couple of days to maybe multiple years and the inconsistency of not finding the right environment or the right career, its get exhausting

Does anyone else out there have to deal with, what I call a certain group of people, "StupIdiots" without using foul language for my sake.  StupIdiots: stupid idiots that refuse to listen or adhere to common sense safety because they are stubborn and their judgments have no logic or reasoning.  I have a couple in my family. I have 1 nephew that doesn't believe in COVID-19 or how contagious this virus is and a mother that refuses to practice social distancing or sanitary hygienic protocols and a second oldest sister who decides to throw her son a pool party during a pandemic and required quarantine. Also, my second youngest sister (I am the youngest) that has no sense of reasoning to keep social distancing and with her situation is somewhat homelessness due to drugs but she should at least be wary that she shouldn't be asking our mother or her children to go to the stores without basic PPE like a mask or gloves because she "don't give a fuck." This s

      Do you ever stop in your tracks when you smell a familiar scent? Nothing gross but like a smell that triggers a memory even a memory that you didn't realize was still stored up in that cranium of yours. The smell of an old book that made you feel like an explorer, a sweet scent mixed with a rustic woodsy aura or a scent of a perfume that gave you all the happiest memories that you can't find a duplicate of because it's a rare perfume.      The latter happened to me today, I was trifling through my old high school photos and I found a photo of a perfume bottle that I was obsessed with as a teenager during my transition from pre-teen to teen and my first time having friends and I was able to express myself through fashion. Fast forward to age 28 and I am still unable to find a duplicate of this perfume scent and the closest I found was Anna Sui's, " Forbidden Affair" how melancholy poetic that name is. Also, it came in a cool bottle.       Perfume has b

     Pretty much everyone else has nieces or nephews or your own children that have to do online school work now? I'll take the assumption to a "yes." I'm not new to online school work or any online courses. Technology can be amazing and sometimes it can be a straight pain in the ass. Right? I've been helping my younger nephews with their school work and so far it seems non-online schools that are now required to be fully online didn't properly prepare for this. I am so frustrated with these assignments that have to be completed on different websites for 1 subject or there are 5 assignments using different programs.. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? I am so close to having my mom, who is the guardians of these 3 chipmunks to Primavera Online school because everything is on 1 program and they have you work outside the website only for small stuff like YouTube or whatnot.     You're probably saying, "It's new and teachers weren't prepared for this pandemi
