Become the person I've always wanted to be

so… after I dropped out of USF and enrolled in Art School I was happily and successfully doing freelance graphic design work… had a baby, moved to Atlanta, worked for Big Corporate Company USA (read: boring but $$$) quit my job and currently packing to move west to Dallas, TX… I can say that I am mostly fearless and do things that make me happy though they seem random and crazy at the time… all of this to say who you want to become gets changed sometimes… now I want to be the coolest mom on the block; which, for now just consists of heart shaped banana pancakes, coloring on the walls with washable crayons, lunches in the park, daily visits to the library, and bubbles galore. BUT I also want to be the gypsy-artistic-go anywhere-do anything-wild-child that I’ve always desired to be… and all this talk of pole dancing for house wives just isn’t going to cut it… how do I be a good mommy AND be a poet, dancer, graphic designer cupcake baker extrordinaire???

I dropped out of USF enrolled in IADT. Completed my first graphic design/PR job… entered a poetry slam, painted the walls in my apt vibrant colors…I’m gonna do it big in 06! Learn to play my guitar, learn spanish, make money, be more in love with my baby… on the way to the me I always wanted to be.

drop out of college and travel the world/ be happy/ get a job/ act/write whatever… my latest thing on the journey to being “Bri” as I define her for myself… carving the path as I see fit. maybe I’m crazy. Or maybe I’m genius… only time will tell. But as for right now, I’m no longer enrolled as a college student at my local university.

I’m a poet/writer/actress and most of my work exists only in my own brain. Most times I do not actively pursue my goals in terms of my art… however, this week has been a catalyst for major changes in my life, attitude and actions… I entered a poetry slam and though my natural insecurities pompted me to not expect to win I walked away with a perfect score, first place, and an invitation to a bigger slam in which the first prize is $1000… so I’m making moves that make me happy and will potentially get me paid… sounds good to me… it feels got to be making moves rather than standing still.
