MICHELLEISMS

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted over here. I almost wanna apologize but I feel that I would be lying if I said I’m sorry. You see…I intentionally took a break from my personal posts cause I felt that I didn’t have anything positive to say.

You may think that life is all honkey-dorey, but blogging is not an easy business. It doesn’t pay all the bills and I’ve found that I have to “hustle harder” to make ends meet. I thought about returning to corporate america but the funny thing is…I don’t think they really want me back.

I’ve submitted resumes with no response so I can only assume that God has larger plans for me and my talents. In the past few months, I’ve developed relationships with several people who believe in my vision and those people have encouraged me to step out on faith. I know I’m not the youngest, cutest, flyest, or thinest of them all, but one things for sure, I’m always about my MONEY.

I’ve managed to accumulate a few things through smart investments and I’m not sitting around waiting on some external force or some rich nicca to fund my dreams. I’m putting myself out there and finding that my vision is actually welcomed by quite a few people.

Kaspa of Hittmenn DJ’s and Zone 4, Inc (Polow Da Don’s Label) listened to what I had to say and actually encouraged me to go hard with the marketing of my site. I’m normally a shy person, so stepping out there was a bit hard for me, but the passion that I have for my baby (StraightFromTheA.com) actually exceeded my shyness and the fact that I am actually who I say I am held a ton of weight.

We recently joined forces to host Custom Whipz Meet & Greet, my first ever foray into event planning. I’m not that chick who coordinates every minute detail but what I CAN do is get people involved and interested. The event was a success (thank God) and surprise guests Willie Hustle, Pretty Ricky and Drumma Boy all showed mad love.

On the heels of the Custom Whipz event, I’ve recently decided to step out into reality TV. I have a dope videographer (D. Jones) who is currently editing my pilot episode. Am I ready? Who knows?? What I do know is that life is short and I can’t spend it wondering what if. What if…I’d had the balls to step out there. What if…I hadn’t gained those 50 lbs after I got laid off. What if…What if…What if…

What I’ve learned during these months of unemployment and singledom is…I can’t keep wondering. I’m having a helluva good time right now regardless of what people think about me. I’ve met some wonderful, supportive people. I’ve got the A-OK from my boo….Twan (aka Big Boi) to “go hard” so no matter what happens next, I can never say I didn’t give my all.

Lights…Camera…Action… This is NOT a dress rehearsal. I’m doing what I love and hopefully I’ll make some money one day. Stay tuned….I’ve only just begun.
