it's happenin

Exciting news. I just got back from visiting NBC studios at 30 Rock and... I got my resume into the hands of the perfect person. Just to back track on the reason I was at NBC... A couple days ago, I decided to be a lot more proactive with my job search and figured I need to start visiting the places I want to work.

So.... I want to be a NBC Page (think Kenneth from the show 30 Rock), and eventually, through talking to a really nice security guard, I was directed to a current Page (a guy named Ryan). I talked with him for about 10 minutes - all about the program, working for NBC, and our mutual love for CNBC Originals. He said he's going to try to get my resume to someone in charge of hiring. Weeeeeee!

Other news: this weekend, I had a crazy awesome experience. April 6th is International Pillow Fight Day and NYC, of course, joins in the fun with a massive (planned) pillow fight in Washington Square Park.

At one point in the battle a guy yelled "GET THE BLONDE GIRL!" and within seconds, I had 10 or more people smashing their pillows against my head. Not fun. Eventually I yelled that it wasn't nice to hit girls and I got outta there as fast as I could. Neck pain ensued. But not for long thankfully.

My friend Marisa and I had such a great time though. We laughed for almost the whole thing because it was just so ridiculous. And ironically enough, it was not a good event for kids. At all. It would be absolutely terrifying for a child to be in the middle of that. Sort of like being up against a thousand Goliaths.

Despite being unemployed I am feeling on top of the world. New York City has every opportunity I could possibly want, and it feels great to live here. The American Dream lives on. And I'm going to make it (with God's help of course).

p.s. Because of CNBC Originals, I am the captain of random facts. Today, I watched "Mob Money" and yesterday I watched"The Coffee Addiction" and "Love @ First Byte". Ask me anything about mob families in New York, the coffee industry or online dating, and you'll be slammed with 20 minutes of info.
