My rantings, musings, and the overall verbal diarrhea of optimism that leaks out of me.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner can carry about 250 passengers. This blog was viewed about 1,400 times in 2012. If it were a Dreamliner, it would take about 6 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see…
It has never been a big secret that I’m a naturally competitive person. It doesn’t matter the topic, the event, or the situation – if there is room to turn it into a contest of some sort, you can bet money that I’m the person pushing for it. While physical challenges are enjoyable, I’m normally…
Another year draws to a close and the rush to draft up a long list of resolutions that I plan to break almost immediately in the new year is now upon me. As I sit here looking back at the previous year, I wonder how much more I plan to resolve to change. I’ve already…
I cannot believe it’s already Christmas Eve. This has been the fastest year thus far in my life and it makes me both hopeful and fearful for what is to come. I’m excited for future growth, future experiences but nervous about the speed at which time passes the older I get. I always thought people…
Well, since the Great Apocalypse of 2012 has not yet occurred, I guess it’s time to stop procrastinating and actually set out to accomplish the goals I set for this holiday break.

I have just one more week of class and then I get the luxury of a two week holiday break. I’m ecstatic. I feel like I’ve been running in overdrive for several months now, balancing work, school, NaNoWriMo, side projects and, most importantly, my family and friends. It will be nice to finally step away…
This Sunday, my fellow leadership team and I are getting together with our spouses to celebrate the holidays and the close of a very good year with a potluck. I’m looking forward to the camaraderie, the laughter, and the break from the office. Up until yesterday, I was also really looking forward to the food.…
So… to stretch myself FAR outside of my comfort zone, I decided to write an article in the hopes of being published with Cracked Magazine. After learning that it takes FOREVER to so much as get a pitch reviewed by them, I’ve decided to forgo trying to publish with them [and earn the generous sum…
So, another article I’ve written has gone live on the Full Sail University Connect site! Woohoo! As usual, I can’t provide a direct link [unless your faculty, staff, or a student], so I’ve copied and pasted the article below. Enjoy! ******************************** Student Uses Humor, Effects to Draw Viewers to Her YouTube Channel By Victoria Webster-Perez…
