Love, Life, and PR

I love when people say, " I'm such a people person." That is so redundant. If you are a person, you are by existance, a people person.

The reality is that most people, by choice, aren't.

They go out of there way to avoid people. I don't know why that is. It just is. People love to avoid eye contact, speaking, touching, listening, and acting; all the things that makes us people.

I was inspired my former collegiate friend to return to my blog. It's so relaxing. Plus, I get a chance to write again.

Love: It's great. It's violent emotionally, but most things that are inconsistant, sporadic, heavy, and totally worth are. Sorry to state it to those hopeless romantics. Love is a tough. It is patient and kind and all of those things in II Corinthians, but it is also shared between two humans for the most part. We have to aspire to get that sort of love that God has; that AGAPE love. SO, what do humans do? We try so hard NOT to be people persons and we make love that much harder. In it's most quiet and worthwile moments; for me, love is beautiful.

Life: I'm here. What else can I say. Had this been May of 2007, had I had a class in Cole Hall; I might not be. All I can say, is that God has a purpose for my life. Outside of that; I really cannot complain.

PR: Back to this "people person" idea. I love when people say, " I'm a people person." I love that because it shows me that people really don't know much about themselves or PR for that matter. PR is not just about people. It's about people's minds. You have to be manipulative at best, persuasive at least, and you have to posess the ability to know when to be what to which people. I had a dream that I didn't know anything about PR. I thought that I should have been a firefighter or a teacher or something. I'm still going to be a professor, but maybe kindergarten or something. In that dream, I was so discouraged. I was being criticized daily, yelled at, ran ragged, and losing my mind trying to do "PR". Now that I think about it, it wasn't a dream. It was reality, I just fell asleep at my desk. I had a good mind to wake up and walk out.

Then something miraculous happend. I met a few people who told me that I did know exactly what I was talking about. They told me not to give up because I was made for this. They said things like " impressed" and " awesome" and " you are so easy to talk to".

I guess I am a people person.
