Trying to figure out what's wise about getting your wisdom teeth pulled..

Sooooo ok this past week has been lackluster to say the least. This wisdom teeth ordeal has been one for the books! As routine as this procedure is, I'm still throwing it in the "Cruel and Unusual" chapter right along with "The Artist" (yeah he's at it again) and that stupid show The Hills, cause anything that takes you from normal to Kanye West Through the wire in 0-60 has to be!

So Besides looking like Buzz Lightyear's kid sister for the last week, I haven't gotten much accompolished, which I'm actually quite ashamed of, I GUESS I had an excuse...but then again doesn't everyone? Not!

With that...back to the lab I go...



...I'm a little bit of both of these guys

Seeking my CFO? Thinking the new first date should be at the golf course...

Ok, so today is going to be dedicated to writing my "State of Purpose" for SCAD. Oh shoot!, and I just remembered that I have a deadline on the 27th for a whole other project!... God I need an assistant, but I doubt I'll be able to find one that will allow me to pay him/her in compliments.

I've been having the worse kind of writers block when it comes to this SOP man. I really want it to be great, but the words and phrases leave me whenever I sit down at my laptop. Maybe I should've gone to yoga today...but I'd probably be thinking about "The Artist" the whole time, trust he embodies his name with his crafty self...ughhh this is why relationships are such a distraction!
Speaking of relationships, I had an epiphany yesterday with my single self. I think I gave a whole new meaning to marriage being a business contract. Relationship edition...35% of all major business deals are done on the golf course, which means Put-Put golf at Malibu Grand Prix Saturday night takes on a whole new meaning...

I look at myself as a business right,as I think everyone should, for many reasons, but today I'd like to parallel relationships or choosing a mate to trying to find another business to either merge or invest in. You're seeking a CFO. Think about it when you're dating, you're in a sense selling yourself to the other individual. You want them to like you, you want them to WANT to kick it with you, INVEST money and time, CONFIDE in you, and BUILD on a foundation that will benefit you both, and in return you want to show them what you can offer right? And just like a business, your ish better be on the up and up. No one wants to work with someone who is raggedy! What have you done in the past? What are you doing now? References?(i.e. finances, health, can make logically sound decisions, good standing with other businesses...think family and friends), and if yours isn't looking right,trust there is another company lobbying for their business In other words,there are other men and women who want that commission and have the proper criteria to get it. And you wonder why business mergers take so long to actually happen, no one goes into such a highstake union without having done their research first! So later on, after you've signed the proverbial dotted line, you wont get the rude awakening that this merge was more of a liablity than an asset.

There are some that have shady business practices too. Maybe they take "your money" and run, or they breech contract by doing side business without your knowledge, which is grounds for immediate termination. Oh and let's not forget to mention COMMUNICATION. Communication is key simply becuase if you enter a merger, you cannot make a decision without CONSULTING your partner...get it? This is the business of LOVE, everything cant be rainbows and ponies, yachts and G4 Jets,another smart "business" move is knowing when a merge is not necessary.
So in practicing what I preach, I realize "my business" isn't where I want it to be, Brittany Knight, INC. has not reached the numbers that her potential promises, so for now, she is not seeking any mergers at this time, not even for the perks, no matter how much they make me feel good... glow,sweat...or walk funny...ok ok ok lol

Best Regards,
Brittany Knight

My intro...

So ok, this is my first post, and I'm still trying to find my voice...I'm venturing out with this one, which is shocking to say the least because I'm a self-proclaimed hermit.
I'm in the process of building my personal brand. Victory1,INC. is what I have decided to name it. This is certainly an uphill feat, but I've been trudging thus far. Currently working on a project entitled "Girls on Top", ran by the "King of Clubs" in Atlanta, Pablo Henderson. There is an intended pun, but the "girls" we are referring to are female DJ's who are ON TOP of their game...get your mind out of the gutter...sheesh!

I'm on camera, which is new to me as a writer, because I always wanted to be the person behind the scenes...I guess God has different plans for because that is not how this is panning out. Anyway, I did the first interview on the rooftop of Glenn Hotel downtown ATL last Wednesday. It was beautiful! But I'd be lying if I didn't say I was freezing my willy off! Not that I have a willy, you would think so if you saw how I treat the opposite sex. One of my friends told me I was one step away from using a male escort service, she was probably right, but when I inquired about the rates, I soon realized it was just easier not to anwser my phone...

After the interview, it was all fun. Sat down and had drinks with a project manager from Time Warner, she agreed to be my mentor and also spoke to another female manager from The W Hotel, yeah you know the one, and she liked what I was doing so much that she wanted to know if I would be interested in hosting an event at the W in a couple of months. Now I'm not one to count my chickens before they hatch, but this a blog, so I guess I'm supposed to talk about how excited I was that she would even consider me for something like that! I'm certainly staying tune to see how that plays out, because in the midst of this I'm applying to Savannah College of Art & Design,editing a book that I'm not allowed to reveal,finishing up a demo to submit to SESAC Publishing for my songwriting skills (no I can't sing...well maybe if you count the shower),building a business, and having my unicorn of a significant other telling me he may have a kid WTF? Yeah,I'm definitley learning something new everyday, I wonder what tomorrow will hold?
