Bourbon street – where it all goes down.

I spent the weekend in New Orleans, or as the locals call Naw’lins. I must say, I am in love. Love.

This has to easily be in my top 3 favorite cities in the Us. Of course, SF is the first, only because I live here. Life in the south seems to be filled with more wonder and yes, magic.

The food is amazing, and guys, you can get to-go cups for your drinks!!!! To-go cups! It’s like they want you to be a little bit tipsy and have an awesome time.

Seriously, anyone down to go in like the next couple of months??? 🙂

Doing Something

Posted on by monicacrosales

This all started because of ComicCon. Seriously.

Sad? Maybe. You can’t really critique where your muse comes from, can you?

Back to this blogging thing – I have always thought that in order to be a blogger you had to in someway have an agenda. Say something meaningful, you know be someone that matters.  At the very least be an aspiring writer. I am not any of those things – well, I like to think I matter.

What I am trying to say is that I did not ever expect to be someone to publish my thoughts online.  To be honest – I do have an agenda. Gillian Anderson – if you happen to stumble upon this by some weird cosmic miracle – hire me! Pretty, please…I am awesome and totally willing to work for free!! Like, seriously though…free. Think about it. You know you want to…

Anyways – back to what I was trying to express, I am not a voice of my generation. I wish I was – but I am not Lena Dunham and this is not an episode of Girls.  I mean if Kanye West can have a voice – I can too.

I recently had a conversation with a friend about how important it is do get out and do something, anything.  As long as you are attempting to create and willing to try, what do you really have to lose? Right?

As you can see, I fell for it.

So this is my voice, my thing, my attempt to make a difference and try something new.

If you’re out there and you happen to read this and maybe smile – sweet!! Awesome – keep reading and thanks. Feel free to chat me up – I love to talk.
