Small Cross Tattoos for Girls
Rutuja Jathar
Jan 25, 2019
Cross tattoos are very common these days, yet unique, and the best part is that, they flow with the trend.
Cross tattoos are supposedly one of the hottest and most flexible tattoo designs. They are the ultimate form of symbolism, when it comes to being distinct and unique. It is the symbol of the bright tradition of humanity and not only Christianity.
Cross designs were also found in the ancient pagan era, as the supernatural power was denoted by cross-like designs during those times. It is also a symbol of ancient Greek, Egyptian, as well the Aztec culture.
Cross tattoos are very versatile and they can really be a personal form of expression, as they come in such a large variety of designs and styles. They are supposedly a 'safe' design ― a design that will not create any drama as cross is a socially accepted symbol, and yet they are unique.
Celtic tattoos also have a huge variety when it comes to cross tattoos. Previously, cross tattoos were supposedly only for men, but they are also hugely popular amongst the young girls these days. They are very trendy, versatile, and feminine at the same time.
The Types
It is generally observed that, the small cross tattoos are the first choice of the people who want to get tattooed for the first time in their life.
The reason behind this is also simple ― they can be simple at times, along with being distinct and can suit almost any part of the body. Selecting it can reduce the element of shock to a pleasant surprise. There are relatively simple designs that are less painful, while there are complex ones as well, that give you a lot more variety.
There are many tattoo designs of Christian as well as non-Cristian designs that can attract an amateur. The Aztec cross, Gothic cross, Chinese cross, Greek cross, Burgundy cross all these small cross tattoos are pretty attractive and unique.
Other popular designs are the Celtic cross, the Russian orthodox cross, crusader's cross, the cross of triumph, Saint James cross, Byzantine cross, the Latin cross, the Maltese cross, etc.
Small cross tattoos for girls are the ideal choice. They are small and so, they sound much more intuitive and can be feminine as well. If decided, they can be a great form of personal expression.
Remember Drew Barrymore's cross tattoo covered with vines? It is merely an example, as there are many experiments that one can do to make it more distinct and personal. Try putting your initials or a simple wrap of ribbon around the small cross. It sounds distinct and unique at the same time. So, think creativity and find out a cool design for yourself.
Next factor is selecting the small cross and its placement. Do all the homework about the crosses and the exact small tattoo that you want. The word 'cross' holds different perceptions in the minds of different people, so it will be better if you convey 'your' side of the perception to the tattoo artist. This will make it more personal and satisfactory.
Next thing is the placement. Small crosses win the race yet again, this time due to their size. They are small and that is what makes them more convenient. One can get them anywhere on the body and also hide to perfection.
When it comes to finding a location for it, there are several body parts that get changed with the passing time. So, make sure you choose the place, where it can be timeless and as beautiful as a new one!
There are many places that can be 'cross tattooed' though, like armband, wrist, ankles, hip, and lower back as well. Always keep in mind that the tattoo is after all the ultimate expression of your faith and personality.

In the world of digital, let's not forget the basics
Banners, micro-sites, aumented reality, phone applications, mobile web, interactivity, anything you want on demand, targeted ads, user experience… These are all some examples that digital offers which gives endless invaluable opportunities for brands. And when it comes to shopping every store now has an online existence; online magazines, catalogues, offers, games, micro-sites, forums, interactivity, advice, on-demand queries….. But seeing the streets busy every single day I know our digital population is still involved in in-store experiences, and this is what I want to talk about. We can't forget this basic, but fundamental, interaction with our consumers.
In cosmetic stores, we are greeted with girls who look fab and will jump on us to make us try the latest lipstick. They are waiting ready with their make-up brushes in-hand! Clothing stores, gaming stores, department stores are full of sale advisers who stand and wait to help if we ever do ask for one. Boutiques and designer stores greet us with a smile and asks us if we are just browsing or searching for something.. and then they leave us alone if we want.
But my visit to The Body Shop in Somerset area changed my point of view on their brand. Not only did I get to learn a lot about their products, I didn't feel I was being interrupted or being sold to. The sale-girl helped me look through the things I wanted, suggested things that I might like (just like recommendations on Amazon.com!), pointed out the special sales on/coming-up, offered me a hand cream which smelt great, and then waved goodbye to me with a huge smile. Now I know I will go back there again.
In digital, user experience is the key. We want the consumer to have a smooth and simple journey from the point they are at to the point where they reach our site. This is exactly how we do it in our offline existence, let it be in-stores, branded events or experiential marketing. It is all about making it easy, enjoyable and relevant for them so they come back. We can't ask them to visit us again (online or offline), they will make that choice themselves once they had their first experience. No offer or funky ads will change that (It can, but not as easy as if they had a great first-experience!).
Viva to user experience! Let it be online or offline….
2 Responses to "In the world of digital, let's not forget the basics"
my thought exactly Nes! At the end of the day, what matters is the users' experience of the brand and whether the brand is actually what it claims to be. I had a similar experience with the Body Shop and I don't doubt that it is probably a reflection of their brand values (and the type of people they hire as a result). Great post!
thank you Daisy! 🙂 x -Nes

Published at Tuesday, November 27th, 2018 - 11:06:18 AM. Baby Room. By Conradine Berger.
Once you have set your budget and made the major decisions regarding the baby room design, it is time to start shopping. Purchasing the baby bedding and furniture first usually works best since they are the two major design elements in the room. Once you have these items purchased, it is easier to pick out paint colors, wallpaper, art work, and other essential items like lamps and window treatments.
Furthermore, it is really possible to furnish a baby room even with a restricted budget. There are a lot of moms out there who are offering the baby stuff they no longer use, and some who are selling it at a lower price. These are bargains that you should look for if you want to save up on your baby's bedroom. On the other hand, if they are not sold nor offered, you can perhaps borrow the items you need that won't last long. Cribs, for example, will only be used in the first few months of a baby's life. Parents will surely be happy to lend you one until they use it again for another baby.

Ideas are rarely the problem.
I live my life surrounded by amazing, inspiring, creative thinkers. Their lightbulb moments floor me. Their new plans, and processes, and programs make me simply giddy.
It's not coming up with that moment of genius that leaves people feeling stuck.
It's the follow through. It's the preening. It's the perfecting. It's the making sure that every last word is "just so".
My advice to you?
Just ship it already.
Get it out there. Get it gone.
That half-finished online course on your Google Drive.
The sales page you've been tweaking for weeks.
The guest post you're putting off pitching.
The webinar you're ready for, but refuse to schedule.
The proposal you've been playing around with.
The worksheet you've sketched out in your trusty notebook.
Your half-written book.
The ever growing ideas list.
An abandoned slide deck.
The witty domain name you've done nothing with.
The email course sitting in your drafts.
The updated web copy yet to make it online.
That tutorial you feel drawn to create (at some point).
All of these not quite perfect, not quite finished things on the horizon.
Stop waiting. Start shipping.
If they flop? If they fail? If nobody notices, or cares, or jumps straight on board?
You learn your lesson. You come back to your list. And you ship the next thing.
Whatever your big idea, make it known. Make it public. Make it real.
Because NOW is time to take action.
Over to you.
Step 1: Pull out a blank sheet of paper (or a blank Google doc, you can pick your poison) and make a list of all your unfinished projects.
Step 2: Go through and write at least 5 reasons you want to finish that project. Why does it excite you? What will it bring into your life? How will it help you make an impact?
Step 3: Revisit your list, and discard everything that doesn't have a strong enough WHY. Anything that doesn't light you up… delete!
Step 4: Schedule each project into your diary (because scheduling makes things real).
Step 5: Announce your intentions and hold yourself accountable - share your goal with your list, post in a Facebook group, or simply leave a comment below.

The Key to a Successful PR Campaign in Philanthropy? Strategic Variety
It doesn't take an expert to know that a successful communications plan means something different for everyone – whether you're working in fintech, education or philanthropy. Successful PR results will come from a specialized, bespoke plan that is designed to meet your individual business needs.
Defining the Goals of PR
When we first start with a client or at the beginning of a large project, we meet with the extended team to discuss the overarching goals and the desired results of a project. Many people think the goal of PR is "to get as much media as possible." In reality, you need to define why you want to get media in the first place. Let's take this a step deeper.
The goal of PR could be anything – increasing awareness of your mission or cause, educating an untapped audience, creating a dialogue with key stakeholders or elevating the credibility and current standing of your organization. Ultimately, the goal should directly correlate with impacting your organization's business objectives.
Setting the Strategy
Once we have an idea of what your specific goals are and what success looks like to you, we build out detailed strategies to achieve these. While being in the news certainly brings brand awareness, "get as much media as possible" isn't a strategy. To reach key audiences such as foundation leaders, project managers, and board members as well as the general public, a strategy could be something more along the line of implementing a multi-pronged media relations campaign to increase reach to specific stakeholders.
Identifying the Tactics for Executing
What's the best way to reach each specific stakeholder group through the media? The message you want to convey to the public will undoubtedly be different (e.g. more general or less in the "jargony" weeds) than that to a foundation's board. For this, you'll want to look at different publications to reach each with the right message, and this is where the multi-pronged approach comes in.
Don't Overlook the Trades – We regularly work with trade media and often find ourselves explaining the value of pursuing these opportunities. It's simple – trade publications are important because they drive thought leadership and brand awareness, build credibility within the industry and national media reads them. Working with trades gives you the opportunity to delve deeper into a subject matter than you would with a mainstream media outlet because their audience has a strong understanding of the philanthropic sector. Trades also often have opportunities for bylines or op-eds. Smart, timely op-eds are another tactic for sharing insightful POV while also taking the opportunity to delve deeper into a subject than an interview with a journalist would.
Mainstream, Millennial Story – In order to maximize exposure beyond the trade publications or through various influencers, it's beneficial to focus on a mainstream or Millennial outlet that focuses on a larger and sometimes younger audience. An ideal group to target would be a young entrepreneurial and business focused audience that is looking for insight into the latest innovations, practices, ideas, and people. While it's important to tell your story to the trade audience for credibility, it's equally as important to tap into a larger more mainstream audience for broader awareness.
Influencing an Influencer – There are a handful of journalists who act more as an influencer than a beat reporter. Someone who follows the most inspirational and innovative works happening in the space and stays on the cutting age of what's happening in the philanthropic sector – everything from wealth management and philanthropic giving to politics and international relations. It's beneficial for a brand or company to be on the radar of influencers in the space because they have a built-in audience of followers that trust their opinions and regularly turn to their work for industry knowledge as well as people and trends they should be aware of. This is a great way to amplify your company or brand message.
Utilizing an academic outlet is a great way to validate findings and results. Academic outlets are widely-respected publications within the community and being published in one adds to the overall credibility of your work. It tells readers, who are often the most well-versed audience, that the work you're doing is something innovative and groundbreaking in the industry. The other great thing about academic outlets is most other media outlets and journalists don't view them as direct competitors. If anything, they too turn to their academic journals or magazines as a trusted source for research and data.
There isn't a perfect equation for successful communications results, but ensuring that you are talking to a combination of media across a variety of publications is your best bet to reach a broader audience and come across as a leader in your industry.


text: by Stephen W. SmithI received so many emails from my last Potter's Inn Journal and I'm very grateful for your thinking, comments and encouragement. In this issue, I want to explore with you, "Seven Necessary Movements to Re-Claim the Church". I really want to encourage you to use the "Comment" section on the blog. This way, we can all participate in a lively and much needed discussion.To reclaim Jesus' intent for the church, we will need to experience at least seven different movements which will require change, transformation and reformation in how we are doing church today. A "movement" is defined as a group of people united on similar values which initiate change. When John Calvin and Martin Luther, the two most well-known reformers of the Catholic Church wrote, spoke and led people into change, the movement of the reformation resulted. Today, I believe we are in dire need of new movements which will focus on these seven aspects:1. The movement from being an institution to becoming an organism. It's clear from the New Testament that the leaders had in mind an "alive" organism which was alive, moving and dynamic. When an organism morphs into becoming an institution, we may be sacrificing the original intent. Institutions die. But organisms live and change, adapting to culture and forces. Being Spirit led is far different from being program driven. An organism which is restricted by programs and structure will diminish in life and morph into being a dormant institution.2. The movement away from being led by an ordained clergy to being served by ordinary people who are gifted. You don't find the word "ordination" in the Bible but you do find gifted men and women leading people into the mysteries of the faith. Ordinary people doing the extra-ordinary things of God is what it means to live out of faith in authentic ways.3. The movement from the "me" to the "we." Becoming a follower of Jesus means that we renounce the "me" and move to the "we." We were made for community and were formed to live connected in vibrant, reciprocal relationships. Saying, 'It's just Jesus and me" is not a confession of faith you will find in a faith that is alive, contagious and vibrant.4. The movement from being a "place that we come to" to being a platform that we send people out from. One of the major challenges for a church is when a church settles into a place—a building and an institution rather than becoming a platform from which to launch new, creative and relative initiatives which push the darkness back rather than congregate all the light in one place—perhaps under a basket even. We model and mimic God when we send rather than hoard.5. The movement from the complex to the simple. Pastor's roles changed from being shepherds to CEO's because the church adopted so many programs that we needed first directors, then executive directors to run the programs and hold the reins of the church. Leadership replaced servanthood and a "professional clergy" evolved rather than releasing people to do the work of the ministry. Jesus, without any trappings! Can we return to the concept of being a simple church rather than a multi-layered organization which requires efficiency and excellence at the expense of washing the feet of people and giving a cup of water in Jesus name?6. Being consumer driven to becoming real followers of Jesus. Yielding to the temptation to be all things for all people, the church can become a quasi-Wal-Mart which offers many things at discounted costs. Changing the question from "What do you like in a church?" to "What do we need to be and do to become church?" is the starting point from moving away from consumer Christianity to being followers of Jesus Christ.7. Replace church talk with Jesus speak. When we talk more about "the church" than we speak about Jesus, we should note the clue that we are off course and change our conversation as well as our direction. "You should come to my church" is often code for "Come to my institution because we are offering a new program which we are trying to enlist as many people as possible to join or attend. " This is different from a conversation which might go, "Let me tell you what God is up to in my life and my community. You won't believe it, but it's true. People are changing their lives and lifestyles and encountering Jesus.Try this:1)Write the two major words down on piece of paper with a line in-between them. Like this: organism--------------institution. Place an "x" on the line which indicates how you feel your church is leaning.2)Discuss how your church can become a movement rather than a static building.3)Make a list of five adjectives you most want in the church you attend and share these with your "we."Let's all do this: In the "reply" section write the five adjectives you most want in a church and let's compare our lists and see what we agree upon! Go ahead. Pause for a moment and dig out the five things you most want and need in a church.

What do we want our community to look like when we're done developing?
Lexington is updating its five-year comprehensive plan. Mandated by state law, the plan serves as a guideline for the city's management of growth and development. The update is due to be completed in 2018.
Vice Mayor Steve Kay talks about the issues being addressed in the process.
Q: Do you think an update of the city's five-year comprehensive plan is needed?
A: It's always a good idea to take a look and to see if the present conditions really reflect what we were thinking five years ago or sometimes 10 or 15 years ago.
Q: The comprehensive plan focuses primarily on growth and development. Among stakeholders we've spoken to there is consistent emphasis on infill and redevelopment. What are your thoughts on that?
A: I would agree. One of the things that I've done since I've been on council has been to chair the Infill and Redevelopment Committee which has been looking at ways to make infill and redevelopment more attractive. It's harder to do redevelopment than taking a piece of land that's basically open and just putting up a bunch of houses or whatever.
Infill has these complexities and difficulties. We've been working for a long time to make sure that regulations, as much as possible, make infill as easy as possible to do. But, when you're improving neighborhoods the question is, as you're improving are you having a negative impact on the people who are already living there? Are we forcing out people from low-income housing? If so, is there a way that we can moderate that?
Q: Housing affordability. There are concerns that Lexington might go the way of a Boulder, Colo., which has basically priced itself out of its own market.
A: Right.
Q: Do you see that potential here?
A: By a lot of standards, housing in Lexington generally remains affordable, relative to other communities like us. But, there's also a very specific definition that Housing Urban Development uses that has to do with the ability of people who are making a certain level of income to actually afford housing.
Affordable housing in the HUD sense means that you're not paying more than 30 percent of your income to actually provide housing. And we have a lot of people in Lexington who are well above that, and that's a part of that issue.
Q: Infill and redevelopment also implies greater density within a given area.
A: Yes.
Q: Is Lexington ready for that?
A: Well, ready or not, here it comes. In certain ways we are, and in certain ways we are not. But, one of the truths about increased density is that it almost inevitably has a negative impact, whether perceived or real, on the people who are adjacent to that development. So, if it means more height, it means you have less view. If it means more units, you have more traffic.
We're in a situation where we need to do infill and redevelopment. I believe that we need to be very serious about it. But it's really important that we educate the community that we're looking at the broader question: how do we accommodate the people who want to live here in a way that makes sense?
Q: And what we're talking about now is territory that is contained within the Urban Services Boundary.
A: Right.
Q: The reason that there is a compelling interest in maintaining the status quo has to do with preservation of the green space outside of that boundary, correct?
A: Right.
Q: Does that remain an imperative?
A: I think it does. I think most people understand that what we have here in this community is the open land, the green space. Three-quarters of our county is now in open land and farmland. For a city the size of Lexington to have that much green space immediately adjacent is very unusual and it's what defines us as the Horse Capital of the World — that's where the horse farms are. We do not have mountains. We don't have oceans. We have a river, but it's at the edge of the county. What makes Lexington so appealing to people is the beauty of that land.
So, in almost all of the work that we do in terms of gauging community sentiment, it's very clear that a significant majority of the community understands how important it is to preserve that land.
Q: There is talk of a strategic expansion of the Urban Services Boundary. Are you familiar with that point of view and what are your thoughts?
A: I think that's an interesting concept and what I understand about it is that there may be some specific places where there is land outside that Urban Service Boundary that could be developed in such a way that it does not have a negative impact on the farming that goes on adjacent to it, on the view shed, on the overall perspective of, again, what we want to look like when we're all done developing.
I'm not saying there is not a single parcel of land that should ever be developed outside of the Urban Service Boundary, but I think if we're going to do it at all, we have to do it very carefully. We have to understand that the land is finite.
Q: A tool of land preservation has been the purchase of development rights from landowners to ensure that those lands are not developed. We've spent a good amount of money doing that. Do you see that continuing?
A: Well, right now we are on a trajectory to protect 50,000 acres. We've already protected roughly 30,000 acres. And yes, we need to continue to do that. And then, the larger question is what do we want our community to look like when we are done developing open land?
Land is a finite resource, you can only develop it once and once it's developed, it's gone. So, what do we want our community to look like when we are done developing because eventually we will have to be done: either we will have developed all the open space or we will have protected it.
This is a 40-, 60-, 80-year trajectory, but sooner or later there will be no land available for that kind of development in Fayette County. What do we want to look like when we reach that point?
Q: It seems that traffic has become more of an issue in recent years. Do we have a problem? And if we do, how might it be addressed in the plan?
A: We do have a problem. At least twice a day on the major arteries, there is congestion. And a good part of the reason that's true is that we have continued to extend development farther and farther out from the center of town, plus people coming into town to work or going to the mall to shop, or whatever.
I think a part of the solution is really more infill and redevelopment. If we don't want to continue to add traffic, especially to those arteries, we want people living and working and playing in the same places.
And another part of the answer is how we go from a city that has a mass transit system that is essentially just there for the people who have no other choice, to making it one where people who have choice want to be on it because it saves them time because it's more efficient. That's a very complicated question, not easy to resolve, but I think that's one of the things we need to keep thinking about.
Q: Are there any points or issues that we've not touched on that you would like to mention?
A: I'd like to loop back to the question of how infill is impacting the community and say that it's helpful to take a broad perspective when somebody is proposing something in your own neighborhood.
We need to be very thoughtful about the way in which we handle growth in the next five,10, 15, 20 years. I believe we want to preserve the rural land that we have, and we want to do development in such a way that makes sense, given how attractive this community is.
There's no easy answer. But I would hope that people will understand that what we're trying to do is work through and provide some balance.
You don't always get what you want; you don't get all of what you want; you may not get exactly what you want. With 4,000 people a year moving into Lexington, how do we accommodate that in a way that does not compromise our overall quality of life?

The interview also will air on WEKU-88.9 FM on Mondays at 7:35 a.m. during Morning Edition and at 5:45 p.m. during All Things Considered.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has done it again! Not only is the company the official sponsor of the American Music Awards telecast, but it has also figured out a very cool way to incorporate music to differentiate itself from the rest of the automobile trade. The advertising approach is unique and speaks to its targeted consumer on an authentic level . By collaborating with Universal, Sony and Warner record labels, Fiat used music as its advertising hook and as a result, the brand was exposed to a younger mass audience of music fans.
Fiat's CMO Olivier Francois' love for music is the reason that this automobile company has been leveraging music in its marketing strategy for the last five years. Fiat is leveraging the #PowerOfMusic to differentiate and give their brand a personality to appeal to a younger audience.
"Music and the AMAs are part of this moment where you can build or add some relevance to our message, because there's nothing less 'relevant' than a car commercial—for that, our whole marketing investment will be relatively inefficient," Fiat Chrysler CMO Olivier Francois said. "We want to add relevance, connected tissue—glue that will do something for you, so that even if you're not in the car market today, you'll watch the commercial."
Fiat Chrysler launches 3 ads during American Music Awards
For the 90-second ad, Fiat teamed up with singing sensation Charlie Puth of Atlantic Records with the song "One Call Away". The 60-second ad saw a collection of young musicians namely Skylar Grey, Pia Mia, Tory Lanez and BORNS. Dubbed as "stars of tomorrow", all artists were paired with a Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 200.
The final 30-second spot was allotted to a capella group Pentatonix from Sony Music Group who performed the song "Sing".
"The use of music in this campaign gives us the opportunity to connect with millennials through a shared passion," Olivier Francois, FCA's global chief marketing officer, said in a statement. "Our strategy to approach each brand like a 'playlist' enables us to reach across genres, allowing us to check two of the most important marketing 'boxes' -- brand building, giving each voice a distinctive persona and relevance to a targeted audience."
History of using music
Fiat Chrysler's music initiatives included high-profile Super Bowl ads featuring Eminem and Bob Dylan, while last year's AMA partnership with Interscope Records included co-promoted spots with Eminem (Dodge), Gwen Stefani (Fiat), Fergie (Chrysler), Phillip Phillips (Ram) and Imagine Dragons (Jeep).
The brilliant logic on how Fiat paired which star to the car that would best fit his or her personality was explained by Marissa Hunter, director-global brand advertising and head of Ram Truck brand advertising.
"Eminem and the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat: "Guts Over Fear" is a song about being strong and overcoming adversity, so the automaker felt it would be a smart association to link it with its high performance, high-attraction vehicle."

"Gwen Stefani and Fiat 500L: The idea is that the brand's personality, like that of the performer, is "fun young and fashionable," and her Italian heritage made "a perfect match," Ms. Hunter said.
"Fergie and Chrysler 200: The logic was that the Black Eyed Peas singer is young, energetic and stylish, which the automaker felt aligned with the brand's image."
The marketing extravaganza was in full overdrive at last year's AMA's with Chrysler not only running four 30-second custom-made videos for the awards show, but ensuring that a 1965 Chrysler 300 low-rider was onstage during Fergie's performance of "L.A. Love". A collaboration such as this is a win-win for sponsors and musicians alike because of the consistency of the brand's exposure.
Fiat is using the #PowerOfMusic to differentiate & give their brand a personality to appeal to a younger audience
And just as recent as September of this year, Fiat launched a cool and original way to showcase their brand new 500 model with a music show which featured the talented singer-songwriter Ella Eyre. She performed a re-mastered version of "The Emotions" track, "Best Of My Love", whilst the car 'laid down' the opening beats of the song. To add to the grand stage design, she performed on a giant vinyl record measuring 15 metres in diameter. This spectacular car display coupled with a vibrant performance created a memorable and authentic audience experience. This is one of Fiat Chrysler's many powerful and exciting campaigns that is inventive in creating a meaningful connection that consumers can respond to emotively. The marketing initiative is part of the company's The Icon Reloaded campaign, which is how Fiat is leveraging music as part of its new strategic direction.

Sebastiano Fedrigo, Fiat Professional UK country manager, said: "You don't replace an icon - you embrace it and evolve it. The new Fiat 500 has been truly re-mastered and reloaded and what better way to mark the launch with an impressive and memorable event like tonight's."
The impact of using music for their brand
Fiat leveraging music as part of its new strategic direction is a perfect opportunity to speak to consumers emotively and because its target audience is a youthful one, reaching out through music is a perfect platform to speak to consumers. Fiat has not only created a strong musical content strategy by curating nice songs by new artists, it actually found the right musical connection to add personality to its brand identity by pairing artists to represent its line of vehicles.
Last year, Fiat Chrysler reported that its third quartershowed a 1.1% market share gain, with sales up 45% for Jeep and 25% for Ram in first nine months of the year.
And recently, the company has publicly stated that music videos featuring Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has reached a staggering 3 billion views on YouTube alone. Its U.S. sales is up by 15 perecent in October 2015, marking its 67th consecutive month of year-over-year sales gain. Evidently, using music in their marketing strategy to engage consumers creatively is a successful plan. Pushing the envelope with music is a marketing approach that the company is welcoming with open arms.

What is exciting about a brand like Fiat Chrysler is that it's not afraid to be unique, bold and gutsy. Using music in its marketing ads and participating in a big award night through music sponsorship has given the company a global reach. Through music, the automobile company has explored a creative way of showcasing its new line of vehicles. Matching cars with popular artists and being consistent in its initiatives to add personality to its products has given the company a stronger brand identity that is well-received by its target audience.

Deano Art Artist Bio:
I had been a writer for my entire life until I discovered the miracle of painting in 2011. Two years later I had painted 1300 paintings. It was as if the hand of God had reached down and touched my heart and turned me into an artist. Once I started painting I couldn't stop. I was obsessive and compulsive. I even painted in my sleep. Just when I thought I could not be a happier man, God gave me two more unexpected gifts: diabetic neuropathy and sciatica. The level of pain brought on by those two gifts was remarkable. I soon realized I only had enough strength to do two things--work to get better and paint. Every ounce of anger, isolation, pain, and fear of death became another painting. Even with a relentless, never-ending round of doctor appointments, tests, and treatments I still managed to paint every day. When I realized that nothing I tried medically could stop the pain I decided I should prepare to die. Every painting became My Last Painting. Then late one night when I was sitting in the midst of my paintings, I began to review my life. I discovered that every painting represented something I had been through and that all the pain had helped me become a better painter and a better man. I finally accepted the truth--God had given me three gifts--the gift of painting, the gift of pain, and the gift of life. The irony is that, safe within the arms of death, I had found acceptance and appreciation for every moment of my life. I also realized that in addition to Deano Art, what I have to offer is proof that you can never be too old, too young, too discouraged or defeated. It is never too late to find a hidden talent or a new dream. All you have to do is open up your heart, let inspiration be your guide and accept your brand new life. In the end, after I have turned to dust, and I am nothing but a memory, this will be my legacy. Maybe if I'm lucky, on some dark night you will see a Deano painting hanging in your home and it will touch your heart and help you realize you are not alone.

Why should you invest in 5.25% taxable REC 54EC Bonds?
Continue reading »
Firstly, investing in these bonds makes sense if you have sold a property and have accrued long-term capital gains. Overall, if you invest your gains in the REC Bonds you are not required to pay tax to the government. This is the main reason why one should consider investing in the REC Bonds. This is especially true for high net worth investors, who are in highest tax bracket.
Secondly, considering REC Bonds from a financial planning perspective, it is a low-risk asset class, but still, an investor with a high-risk profile can invest in them because the returns are tax-free after 3 years. Thus the overall post-tax returns are quite high. This enables an investor to not only earn tax-free income but also ensure the safety of capital.

Download Festival 2016 - Friday
Following several days of blazing sunshine, grey clouds began to lurk ominously above the hallowed turf of Donington Park. However, as the sight of the main stage came into view, a famous and homely spot so rich in rock history, excitement and anticipation for the 14th annual Download Festival peaked.
Words: Phil Weller & Ben Armstrong Photos: Matt Eachus (view more of his work here)
A lighthearted and frivolous band who never shy away from a good time, Sweden's Royal Republic [7] were the perfect band to get the proverbial party started. Their danceable, tongue in cheek rock n' roll was delivered with a pomp and swagger, the sing-along of Tommy Gun spreading a cheesy grin across the crowd's collective mug.
Nostalgia was in the air as California's Alien Ant Farm [6] played a short set of upbeat funk-rock. Only Movies and closer Smooth Criminal received a significant crowd reaction, but what more could you expect from a band which is essentially a two-hit wonder? Disappointing but spirits remained high and the sun was still (barely) shining.
Inevitably the heavens opened and oh how they opened. Yet, as people scrambled for their ponchos – and those without looked skywards glumly - Graveyard's [8] melancholy, overcast blues-rock couldn't have been more fitting in the miserable, torrential rain. Slow Motion Countdown was gloriously bleak and emotionally vulnerable, the rapid fire snare of From A Hole In The Wall syncopating with the tumbling droplets. However, as the weather worsened the band were forced off stage amid safety concerns, cutting another excellent Graveyard set disappointingly short.
After more rain delays, Babymetal [8] finally took to the stage. It's a testament to the band's entertainment value and musical ability that the crowd remained fixated on the show despite the weather, it would be hard to imagine another band being able to keep smiles on faces. With show highlights Megitsune and Gimme Chocolate! in their armoury, the girls proved once again why they're taking the UK by storm. It seems Andy Copping, in his previous reluctance to book them, might just be eating his own chocolate flavoured words.
For all their criticisms of "making a mockery" of the heavy music we love, the talents of the musicians that stand behind these three young girls is astounding. Technical and at the cutting edge of modern progressive metal, with djenty moments and crushing Slipknot inspired riffs and pinpoint musicality that darts off into a myriad of angles and destinations, there is definite substance behind the phenomena. In fact, their sugary, almost sickly vocals act as their niche and the ying and yang combination is, for me at least, a winner in the live format.
After taking a couple of hours to regroup and get our waterproofs on, we returned to the Arena to watch Friday night's special guests. Given a hefty hour slot to hammer home their riffs, Korn [7] suffered from a lack of diversity despite the bagpipes and gas mask shenanigans. This was a perfectly played forty minute set bloated to sixty, long minutes. It's a shame because Jonathan Davis delivered as impassioned a performance as I've ever seen him give, truly commanding the stage like a seasoned, rabid veteran. I'm sure devout fans of the band were lapping this up, but there's only so much of the same thing I can take.
And so with the nu metal titan's set over, there was still a hunger grumbling in our bellies. The question of whether or not Rammstein [8] would round off the night with anything other than an explosive masterclass was never in doubt, and come 11pm we were thoroughly stuffed.
Fireworks? Check. Gratuitous pyrotechnics? Check. Flawless, mechanical performance? Check. Rammstein's set this year was simply the band doing what they do best. The new stage show was suitably dark and industrial, with the awe-inspiring light show carrying them when the pyro ran dry. Sadly some speaker issues caused the bass drum to clip, but this was definitely Ja > Nein. Heil Rammstein!
What Rammstein and Baby Metal show is that the English language isn't quintessential to a good metal show; metal is its own language and it has a powerful transcendental nature. The majority of the crowd will have no idea what the band are actually singing about – even if they're singing along – yet they still produce a stunning spectacle of fizzing pyrotechnics and abrasive riff work. Till Lindemann's guttural Germanic tongue compliments and accentuates their industrial sound brilliantly and, while their set it perhaps too savage to call true theatre, it is clear you are witnessing a band who convey themselves as the complete package of sound and vision. Always a band with a sense of humour within the seriosity, Lindemann then steals the show when, having stalked the stage with a sly smile and wearing a large overcoat, he opens it up to reveal a firework lavished suicide vest: Satire at its finest, accompanied by a band who sound like no one else.

The Avro Canada VZ-9V Avrocar was a flying saucer in the true sense of the word. It used three turbojets to turn a central impeller which kept it airborne by providing downward thrust, it used a vane and shutter system to manouver the aircraft by venting thrust in any direction desired.
It was capable of carrying two crew seated in separate cockpits on either side, facing forward. Total diameter of the Avrocar was 18 feet. The Avrocar was first proposed in the early 1950's by the Avro company to the Canadian government. Later the United States government showed a great deal of interest and ploughed alot of money into the project. But it proved to be unstable at heights over about 8 feet and although it appeared in a few different forms the plug was finally pulled in 1961.

Weekend Thoughts on Process and Evolution
I set up this blog quite a while ago and have struggled to find both the time to write and subjects to write about. I guess the ultimate question is, "What's the point?"
I'm not the type who wants to put empty words into the world and I work two jobs to support my art addiction. I have a girlfriend who has a kid. My paintings these days are taking me hundreds of hours so where do I find the time to write about art?
And really, what is the point?
I think the reality is that every artist should be writing about art. Not just their own work, but about art in general. It takes practice to articulate thoughts on something as elusive and subjective as art. And at the end of the day, does anyone really need to hear my opinions?
Probably not, but at the same time, I am trying to think of it like director's commentary for my favorite movies. Totally unnecessary but supremely enjoyable for those of us who want to understand the process of making films.
For starters I thought it would be interesting if people could actually see my work space. I don't have a studio yet. That is in the works and hinging on finishing up my current commission.
I have come to a point in my career where I am actually making some money on my art and I would like to grow this art business into something that can support me and my family. Its been a long road, I have been painting for twenty plus years and it is only in the last two that I made any real money.
So naturally I am thinking about where I go next? Not just with my working space but with my art itself.
I started off doing portraits very early on where I would write on top of the paintings. They were done in watercolor and I would write a personal message to the person the painting was for… Or in the case that it wasn't for a specific person I would write to a general audience.
I called the series, "Confessionalism." At the time I thought my work could have the power to change the world. In many ways I still do. Art is powerful. I like to say that, "You can't change people, but people can change."
Change requires a catalyst of some sort and for me personally, art has behaved as a catalyst for much of my growth as a person.
When I graduated from U.C. Davis with my art degree in 2003 I was determined to become a famous abstract painter. I grew up thinking abstract art was a bit of a joke but in studying art history I connected with modern art in a very profound way.
Modern art was a response to the invention of the camera. Suddenly a machine could record history faster than any artist. It was cheaper. And frankly, for those who just needed to remember a moment in time, it was better.
But artists are never content with just sitting around doing the same thing and the camera forced a massive shift in what art could be. It wasn't about recording history anymore, it was about making history!
I wanted to be a part of that idea. I wanted to make art that opened eyes and touched people. I wanted people to stand in front of my and experience the things that I experienced standing in front of a Rothko. I wanted to use art to expose lies and reveal truth. I wanted to share my love with the world.
I didn't have a voice though… I didn't really know what I was doing. I had ideas but I was at a place in my life where I struggled to figure out what to paint. I had not embraced the process of making art so each painting was disconnected from everything I'd done. I tried hundreds of experiments trying to figure out something that would keep me excited.
My parents kept urging me to make more portraits. They said I was good at it. I didn't really trust any sort of positive criticism at that point in my life, especially that coming from my parents.
I kept working my paintings, struggling to find something that interested me. My teachers always talked about making art being like asking a question. The best questions were those that created more questions. Answers were killers and I knew it all back then. And so I struggled.
A decade later I am at the Getty and I see this Rembrandt portrait. "An Old Man in Military Costume" 1630
Now keep in mind, I'm a snotty ass at this point in my life, I have no respect for portraits but this painting catches my eye from across the room. I feel like I'm being sucked towards it and I have no idea why. I get close up and it takes my breath away. I lean in to examine it closely and I am just floored. It is a masterpiece, I can't believe the contrast of the skin, translucent, frail versus the armor, so solid and perfect.
His eyes are watered, this is a man past his prime. His armor is polished like it was made yesterday. I start crying. I don't know why. I still to this day cannot for the life of me understand why I had such an emotional response but I had to leave the room or I was going to openly weep. The harder I tried to hold back the tears the more I felt myself becoming overwhelmed.
It was right there that I decided that I wanted to make portraits. I could do portraits my way. I had been told I was good at capturing people and I wanted in that moment so desperately to start painting portraits.
When I got home I started to work on my drawing tablet. I was a graphic designer at the time, I hadn't really been painting a whole lot. So I did what I could, I started studying Rembrandt, observing the way he painted skin, the layering of color. The loose brushwork contrasted by tight controlled strokes. I was in heaven.
It was shortly after this I realized I had been lying to myself for the last 8 years. I wasn't a graphic designer. I wasn't a corporate worker. I was an artist and while I was living a comfortable life in Southern California I was not happy.
I quit my job. I moved in with my parents and I started doing portraits of my friends. I think I did about a hundred before I realized I couldn't work on a computer anymore. I needed the tactile nature of real media. I started doing scribble portraits. I wanted to stay loose and wild. I liked the energy of Rembrandts strokes but I was out of practice when it came to paint so I stuck to pen. My first love.
I had been writing on paintings forever. Well, ten years. I got this idea for a friend to do a portrait of Einstein using his quotes. He loved it. So did my mom. So for her birthday I did a massive portrait of Einstein for her that still hangs proudly in her home.
I used a single quote, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
It was the most fun I had, had making art in years. I immediately took the lessons I had learned and started on Mark Twain. Soon after I did Nikola Tesla. Mark Twain ended up in a group art show and won an award. He was in the local paper and my friend who was starting a restaurant in Twain Harte wanted it hanging there. So he did… and holy crap the response was insane.
I was offered a solo art show because of it. I spent six months putting together a bunch of word portraits. In the process I started to play with the concept, I started to find ways to express each person with a different style. Picasso was loose and fun, Audrey Hepburn was meticulous and perfect. De Kooning was abstract and strange, Escher was a mind fuck. Not just for the audience but for me. I thought I broke my brain several times trying to figure that one out.
After the show I was exhausted and empty.
I didn't really know what to do with myself so I started painting some abstracts again. I needed color. I needed art. I find whenever I feel drained I can visit a museum or gallery and get filled up again. So I went to the SF MoMa and checked out some art. It was Chuck Close's portraits that really hit me though.
His use of optical mixing is just brilliant on so many levels. I started to think about how I could apply color to the word portraits. I did some experiments in pen but they didn't work well. I tried some watercolor but where it worked great with abstract it was awful for my word portraits.
I finally decided I would use a medium I never really used. Acrylics. I used to hate acrylics because they dry too fast, the color is too bright a lot of times. Its bright without the richness of oil, almost plastic. But it was everything I needed to layer paint quickly enough to produce a portrait.
So I bought some acrylics and I started figuring out how to mix them, how to paint with them. I didn't really know who I was going to paint first. I wanted to do a self portrait about my own anxieties as an artist but I wasn't ready… My girlfriend saw an old painting I did of the Joker and suggested it might be fun. If I was going to spend a couple hundred hours I needed it to be fun.
I started work on the Joker and told my friends my plan.
To say it started rough is an understatement. I had a few people tell me they didn't think it was going to work. I had a vision though, I knew that if I just kept working I could make something happen. It might not be great but most experiments are for learning more than anything so I just kept plugging away.
To say I was pleased with the result would be a gross understatement. It was the best thing I'd ever done. I was commissioned very quickly to do Churchill and took off on that… I wanted to experiment more but in the process felt that Churchill was such a strong personality. Not loose and easy. So I dialed things back, he is absolutely imposing in person. Again, I felt I had outdone myself.
My current commission came from Churchill and takes lessons from both the Joker and Winston.
I am preparing myself mentally for the series to evolve. I know where I want it to go. I wanted originally for the paint to layer in such a way that you felt you were looking into a person. So far that concept has not been achieved so I am still working towards answering that question.
One thing that I love about making art is the way an idea can change. I may be a portrait painter for the most part but I am learning how to add my love of abstraction to the process. Always learning and growing and loving that I get to have a life on my own terms. I am very excited about where things are going with this series and cannot wait to share more with you.
For future blog posts I plan to write a bit more about my favorite artists but I will also try to write about how I work through my own paintings. The important thing for me is just to keep writing about art so I can get better at expressing my thoughts on the subject.

Cat vs Cafe (60/40)
Purradise City: Review of Purradise Cat Cafe
Our trip to Purradise was full of excitement and surprises!
On the above-ground metro train headed to the Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (TTDI) stop, the weather took a nasty turn. The skies flashed with lightening, thunder shook the cars and a deluge of rain surrounded us as we sped above highways clogged with water and cars.
It was just starting to let up when pulled into the station. Good news as we had a ten minute walk to reach Purradise Cat Cafe.
During our leisurely amble to Purradise, we encountered several street cats, a harbinger of what lay ahead.
Inside the cafe, we were greeted by a friendly host who collected our (very reasonable) admission fee and took our drink orders. There were a few patrons inside, including a sweet little girl who was entertaining one playful kitty with a feather on a string.
We learned that there are 22 cats in residence, all from the streets or abandoned by owners. Open three years, I was amazed to learn that Purradise is solely focused on rescue cats, a rarity in Asia.
The space was very cute with colorful furniture and lovely murals of trees and outdoor scenes. The atmosphere is calm and cheerful with pop tunes on rotation- I found everything to be exceptionally tidy and clean, however there is a bit of catty odor, so allergy sufferers take note.
The cats are truly the stars at Purradise- an unbelievably friendly and social bunch. It's clear they have received much love and care as they have a trust in humans not often seen in rescues. Some of my favorites included Lembu, a playful tabby mix, Hiro, a shy ginger/white and Garfield, a long-haired ginger goofball with a penchant for belly rubs.
We found our coffee drinks to be of very good quality- my significant other had a hot latte, while I chose an iced version.
When we left, a street cat sitting on a chair a few doors down from Purradise indulged us with a couple of head scratches- I've not met such friendly street cats as the ones that live in Malaysia.

Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Chicago Cubs catcher Victor Caratini did his best bat flip after smashing a grand slam against the Washington Nationals.
Caratini spent some extra time and earned some style points on the long ball in the second game of the Cubs' doubleheader against the Nationals on Saturday at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. The Nationals won the game 6-5.
The Cubs and Nationals were scoreless through the first three innings before Caratini stepped into the box in the fourth frame. Kris Bryant began the inning by taking a walk before Anthony Rizzo got out on a fly ball to center field. Javier Baez doubled before Jefry Rodriguez intentionally walked Kyle Schwarber to load the bases.
David Bote struck out for the second out of the inning, prompting Caratini to walk to the plate.
Rodriguez began his exchange with the Cubs catcher by tossing an 81.1-mph curveball into the dirt for a ball. He then tossed in an 89-mph changeup. Caratini smacked the offering over the center field fence for a grand slam, giving the Cubs a 4-0 edge.
Caratini's blast traveled 419 feet and left the park at 104-mph, according to Statcast. After he smashed the four-bagger, Caratini held the bat up with his right hand before flipping it straight up with a flick of his wrist.
The Nationals came back and cut the Cubs' lead to 4-3 in the sixth inning, getting a homer from Anthony Rendon, an RBI triple from Adrian Sanchez and an RBI double from Adrian Sanchez.
Bryant doubled in Terrance Gore in the seventh inning to give the Cubs a 5-3 edge in the seventh inning.
Rendon got an RBI double in the seventh inning before Bryce Harper gave the Nationals a 6-5 edge with a two-run homer in the same frame.
Caratini was 1-for-4 with four RBIs and a run scored in the loss. The Nationals won the first game of the double-header 10-3.

The Bruins visit the Maple Leafs on Saturday night, with one point separating the No. 2 (B's) and No. 3 (Leafs) teams in the Atlantic Division, and both still within reach of the No. 1 Lightning.
First, there's this small picture.
The Bruins visit the Maple Leafs on Saturday night, with one point separating the No. 2 (B's) and No. 3 (Leafs) teams in the Atlantic Division, and both still within reach of the No. 1 Lightning. It's the last of this season's four matchups (Bruins are 1-1-1; Leafs are 2-1-0), and while there's plenty of time before the 1-2-3 order is determined, the potential exists for Saturday's game (7:05, NESN, WBZ-FM 98.5) to serve as something like a playoff preview.
"Maybe not the first round; maybe the second," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said on Friday afternoon in Toronto, where the B's practiced after two days off. "At some point, it looks like we're probably going to have to play them, so we'd like to leave a good reminder of how good a team we can be. I think they're probably thinking the same thing."
Saturday's game is also a starting point for a much larger picture.
The Bruins have 24 games (11 at home; 13 away) left on their schedule (a lot), and they'll play them over the next 44 days.
They have nine healthy defensemen on their roster, with less than three days before Monday's 3 p.m. NHL trade deadline.
At the very least, the Bruins can be expected to find some way to shave Paul Postma (last game: Dec. 13) from the blue line. But if general manager Don Sweeney can't get what he considers the exact right price in trade for any of his other defensemen (captain Zdeno Chara and rookie Charlie McAvoy are the only untouchables), the B's will go down the stretch with eight defensemen. Otherwise, the purpose of obtaining Nick Holden from the Rangers on Tuesday — depth — is defeated.
So Saturday night's game can also be seen as the start of a 44-day, 24-game audition, with the winners in the lineup when the playoffs start in April.
This isn't just because the Bruins added Holden, who may be the last in the group to get a tryout. It's also because Kevan Miller is ready to return from an upper body injury, and seems to have been at least since the B's won on Tuesday in Calgary, 3-2.
So Cassidy finds himself in a spot similar to early January, when Adam McQuaid was ready to return from a broken fibula, but the defense pairings established while McQuaid was out had performed too well to disturb them. Now, Cassidy doesn't have just one capable, predictable defenseman (Miller) awaiting playing time, but two: Holden, 30, has 356 games on his NHL resume.
There's a left-right component to this: Holden was attractive because of his size (6-foot-4, 214 pounds) and experience, but also because he's a left-hand shot, and the Bruins only have three of those — Chara, Torey Krug and Matt Grzelcyk.
Chara's not coming out. The same goes for Krug, who is key to the power play — unless he's part of a major trade that is, at present, unforeseen. That makes the rookie Grzelcyk the most endangered of the left-hand species, but as has been seen by McQuaid and Miller waiting for a chance to play, Cassidy prefers to make lineup decisions based on performance, not roster size.
"We like the seven guys we've used over the last two months," the coach said. "We can't forget about that, and not have loyalty to the guys who got us here.
"We talked to [Holden] about it directly. We told him that's the situation — we've generally played the guys who've deserved to play this year, and once he's in, it's his job to stay in."
The right-side equation is a bit more defined. McQuaid, Miller and second-year, second-pairing defenseman Brandon Carlo, who has never been a healthy scratch, will ultimately end up competing for the jobs behind McAvoy.
Injuries, trades, fatigue vs. rest, etc., can, and probably will, change the current dynamic. For now, though: Down the stretch they come.

Business Tax Extenders May Be Made Permanent
May 9, 2014
Congress has allowed a number of tax credits to expire before renewing them every two years, in a process known as the "tax extenders."
Some of these tax breaks have been renewed regularly for over 30 years. After some wrangling in the House, the Ways and Means Committee voted to make six expired tax breaks permanent April 29, according to Market Watch. This move would add $310 billion to the deficit over the next 10 years if approved by the Senate, though analysts explained that this is unlikely to happen before the November elections.
In an interesting role-reversal, Democrats are arguing that this move is fiscally irresponsible, as it is not offset by spending cuts or tax increases, Bloomberg explained. The left also feels that it is unfair that businesses be given tax benefits that aren't offset when Republicans have maintained that extending unemployment benefits must be covered.
"To say that Republican action today is hypocritical is a serious understatement," said Representative Sander Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, according to the news source.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Cam, R-Mich., explained that they started with bills that have had bipartisan sponsors in the past, but he hopes to consider other expired provisions later this year, according to Bloomberg. He declined to say which he wants to make permanent, but the largest are those for bonus depreciation for capital expenses and the right to deduct state sales taxes. Camp plans to retire from Congress when his term ends.
Among the bills that the panel voted to make permanent were the research credit, a rule that allows small businesses to write off capital expenses, the active financing exception, and the look-through rule, the news source reported.

A Ticking Clock or Ticking Cat?
Do you remember being in a high school classroom staring at the clock for the last 8 minutes to hurry up and end? Didn't it take forever for the big hand to finally make the giant swing to one minute closer to the bell ringing. Like an eternity existed within those sixty seconds and then you had to wait for another whole 7 more eternities? Sometimes it felt psychologically painful for me, like my brain was squirming, my mind twisting in agony.
That bell represented freedom. Sweet freedom. Maybe to the stairwell for a cigarette; yes, our high school allowed us to smoke inside the building, or maybe to a class I liked, one that kept my interest.
A few years ago during a financial panic I decided I should get a job and give up any hope of making a self-employed living. My alimony support was coming to an end and none of my entrepreneurial efforts created any significant cash flow. Unless you count outflow. There was quite a bit of that; trademarks, websites, research and development, classes and trainings and webinars and of course purple Pentel pens, lot's of those.
My therapist told me it was unrealistic to expect to get a starting salary of more than forty thousand for an entry level position. I felt qualified to get paid at least double that. And as a self-employed person it's quite possible but not very likely as an entry level employee. But since I hadn't generated eighty thousand I reluctantly decided to join a company.
I was hired on a part-time status and figured I'd segue into full-time once the last of the alimony came in and I'd truly have to give up my dream of being a writer/coach/anything.
But within the first few weeks, it was back, like Captain Hook's watch in the crocodile's belly; tick. Tick. TICK.
The dreaded clock, ticking away the moments of my remaining life in a cubicle, and on occasion an office with no windows - like a sensory depravation chamber.
Is this really worth it?
This question inspired me to do some math, which I usually try to avoid. The sum of all parts I considered equated to a negative number. At least if I wanted to continue living in San Luis Obispo, California.
The thing I value most; time freedom, would have to be sacrificed in order to earn a steady paycheck. But that paycheck would barely provide enough for me to exist, let alone contribute toward savings for my later years.
I tried hiding the clock in the office drawer. But I could still hear it, or rather, I could feel it, like it had so quickly established itself into my cellular memory. There I was in the high school classroom, my heart rate rising ever so slightly in anticipation of the liberty bell.
Day after day. I became moody and anxious. I devoured more carbs than usual. Company emails came through with congratulations on employees anniversaries; five years, twelve years, twenty years. I grieved for my future self. The one who couldn't figure it out. The one who had to fall in line and do what she was told. The one who gave up on her dream.
It reminded me of a time when I was in my late teens and interviewed to get office work through a temp agency. Somehow I passed the WPM typing test, which I think secretly I was hoping I'd fail.
As the interviewer straightened up my papers in my folder, she smiled at me, "Now, when you get sent out to work, you will need to wear hose, okay?"
No! No, that's not okay with me. When did she examine my legs to see they were hose-free?
The thought of wearing pantyhose for an entire day was suffocating. I might as well throw on a turtle neck and surrender to this bullshit.
Don't I have personal freedom to decide what undergarments to wear?
No. Apparently not. Neither did I have the personal freedom years earlier in private school to select my own footwear. Apparently, backless clogs, of which I'd just gotten a new pair, were not allowed in school. My mother, an artist and budding feminist, was outraged that her daughter couldn't choose what shoes to wear. My mother had a closet floor full of adorable shoes; she took this matter very seriously. Almost as seriously as her defiant rebellion against the introduction of zip codes when my brother was in 5th grade.
His teacher had instructed the class to write letters in the proper format including the recipient and sender's addresses positioned within the inch on the envelope. When my brother failed the assignment because he did not include a zip code, my mother apparently wrote a note to the teacher expressing her strong disdain for putting numbers on people like herds of cattle. I believe my brother sheepishly corrected his address to include a zip code in order to receive a passing mark.
It makes sense that I'd embraced a bit of rebellion against authority.
On one of my errand trips to the 99¢ store I purchased one of those cute solar activated waving kitty cats that sits on the dashboard. I figured at least I'd have an inanimate feline companion for my long-haul journey to the other side.
I set up the waving kitty on the dashboard and went about hanging curtains when I heard a faint ticking sound.
The engine wasn't on - what is ticking?
I moved toward the front seats in the RV and found the culprit. Each waving motion of the cat's paw generated the ticking sound.
I laughed at the irony of escaping a cubicle with a ticking clock only to find myself in a small motorhome with a ticking cat. But the ticking of the cat didn't have the same meaning to me as the clock.
Where the clock said; Your. Life. Is. Ending.
The cat paw ticking said something entirely different; Your. Life. Is. Adventure.
And perhaps my mother would be proud that I'll be zip-code free for the next nine months.
