Sexy ass Holly Valance getting down, gettin' funky! Here's your Vid of the Week - Naughty Girl

Live to Fight, Fight to Win

For all my high talk of keeping in the game, staying the course, keeping a stiff upper lip and just trudging on to live and fight another day, even I am not exempt from feeling like it's all a waste of fucking time and that a nice long jail sentence would alleviate most of my problems, (no rent, three hots and a cot, etc...). It is hard as hell to stay the course every day. It's hard to get rejected, again and again. Get your hopes up for a new job, a change, whatever. Sometimes, you feel like you can't take another step, go through the motions even one more time. It's just not worth it...

Don't give up.

It took me over a year of hard looking, applications, interviews too numerous to be named, making it to the 3rd, 4th and even 5th round to lose to someone else. Finally, in my 11th hour, a friend's help got me in the door and into a job I love. If I can offer any one piece of advice, it is this. Besides simple persistence, (which you need), reach out to EVERYONE. Friends, business associates, whoever you can enlist. Going it alone is truly a bitch. Even if all folks can offer is a kind word, it can sometimes be what you need to keep going. A lot of friends, online and off, congratulated the hell out of me when I got my job, and in turn, I was very thankful for all their support. Having an army behind you makes you feel more powerful.

Stay strong. Ask for help. Make it your job to get what you want, whatever it may be. There was a quote from Troy which I love which I feel is germane:

"Myrmidons! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!" - Achilles

Let nothing stand in your way and Get your Gun on!
