The 'No Time for Backtracking' Chronicles of Kris - 12/06/08

Hey Everyone,
I'm just sitting down from an early Saturday morning of cleaning. It's been a very slow, interesting week. And if one thing is true it's this - Idle time makes for idle minds and we can't let that happen...ahem, I can't afford for that to happen! The cold weather and uneasy societal times start to make me consider really silly things - like accepting calls I shouldn't and actually toying with the idea of allowing old team members back onto the court, allowing myself to watch goo-gobs of tv, and also letting myself starve to death because I'm too lazy to hit the Pathmark that's actually a block away. (I'm heading to the grocery store shortly...I promise!) But alas, I break out my "HELL NO" sword and start chopping these ideas down. I've had a great, progressive year...bad ideas, get thee behind me! LOL

These past few days droaned on because Uncle Sam (where'd we get the name Uncle Sam anyway) has caught hold of the television industry too. Maybe this was naive of me, but I definitely didn't think this whole economic fallout would affect networks THAT much, including my dear old Viacom, because television is produced every day. But now that I think of it, they are basically "skinning the excess fat" and making cuts to the alternative channels and online components. Ho hum...and right after a holiday and into another...it's a conspiracy!

Thursday morning I woke up and ripped open all of my bills. Mortgage, PSEG, ATT, Cablevision, Water. I charted every single expense per usual but this time around, I think I did a variation of the old Southern church lady's Hallelujah dance. I ran to my mailbox, thanking God for the ability to pay my bills. I do this usually but probably without all the extra zest! It's time to be el cheapo/la cheapa in this piece but I am happy that through it all, my Chroniclers remain positive and focused! Cheers to you all. I've spoken to a few of you about "uping the ante" and hustling even harder than we already do. These times call for CREATIVE measures - i.e. stepping past our entrepreneurial fears and brainstorming ways of continuing to create positive contacts/relationships, and thinking of alternate ways of creating income. Now this will take extra time and energy on our parts but what's a little elbow grease gonna hurt? ESPECIALLY during this season when we already want to hibernate at 4pm because it's dark outside. Don't you hate that?

So after one pretty lazy week filled with moments of worry and anticipation, I'm standing up on my bed and putting on my cape! "IT'S TIME TO MAKE SOME DOLLARS AND JAZZIDREAMER IT OUT!" Let's bust down some doors instead of closing ourselves off behind them. This is the time we need to come out full force...cause the battle's just begun!

Autobots Roll Out,
Kristen Victoria
