When I grow up....

I don't wanna be famous (yeah right), I don't wanna be a doctor or lawyer, I wanna be a fragrance person at Macy's Herald Square. This by far has to be THE most challenging, exhilarating job in the city next to working on Wall Street. A good few thousand people pass you everyday and your job is to entice them into buying new smell good products. Take the guy in the middle for example:

His approach was the "street" approach" if you will and as i walked by was yelling, yes yelling, to customers over Justin Timberlake, "Get the jump-off right here, the new Versace!" I was expecting him to say the new "Ver-sayce" (like in Showgirls if you're not catching my phonetic spelling).  But for the number of time these guys hit vs. the number of times they get ignored...I don't think I'm ready for that level of rejection. I'll stick to blogging and my day job....Plus I don't like that much gel....or name tags.

I'm blunt...and rather observant...DUH that means I should blog! I suffer from, no let me rephrase, I combat living with an AVM on a daily basis. An AVM is an Abnormal Veinous Malformation which affects about 250,000 people in the US (http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/cerebro/AVM.htm#Link8). It affects everyone differently, for me it's caused a constant headache since 2003...litterally. I've been in countless doctors offices, been poked and proded, been through the emotions of being misdiagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I've been through a lot and not just because of my...let's call it an ailment. Above all I've developed a less than common outlook on life and perception of things.Don't for one minute misconstrue, I'm in no way a victim, I'm self-sufficient almost to a fault and encourage others to turn their weaknesses into empowerment. It builds character and makes for one hell of a screenplay ha! That combined with growing up immersed in a semi-charmed world, and the glitz and glamour of Hollyweird leads to some interesting anecdotes...Here are my thoughts...

There are many other Headcases in the world...here are a few..
