#Randombling: That Nerdy Chick
Randombling: A 5 minute long unedited random stream of consciousness produced by a nerd for nerds.

OOHHH goodness this is going to be longer than 5 minutes. What a day. I'm pretty pooped. See this face ... me = very pooped puppy. I love what I do, that's incredibly genuine ... but I really do ever wonder if there is a balance to all of this? I literally am just this crazy passionate nerdy chick that went on this adventure. It's pretty matter of fact. Just thought this would make a bitchin portfolio, it wasn't really my intention to go this far ... but it just felt so good, I couldn't stop. I got an email yesterday from this guy on FB in the UK saying that this show was looking for someone in LA. I sent them the email with my Facebook, this site, and my twitter ... within 24 hours I have already sent them a vid with the footage they requested. I mean crazy shit, and that's nothing!! This happens to me all day everyday! I just tell people, I want to live life. That's it, and sooooooo much has happened from it. I know social media - I get it in a very freaky, freaky, way. By not labeling myself in a specific manner, or tying myself into a company ... it made things happen a lot faster. Who doesn't want to deal with a nerdy chick? Dude, I had some very high profile clients - and it was always, Jen is such a nerd ... talk to her ... I mean nuts. Even now, as I type this on my brand new MacBook Pro, there is just still that part of me that wonders, am I really crazy? Is this all really happening??I feel like success is just so much less of a tangible thing and so much more of a frame of mind. Given, I see the analytics to this site - so I guess there is a tangible component to it, but regardless, I'm not selling it. Just the opposite, I'm going to fund everything myself, and allow people to post without fear of advertisers or sponsors - just celebrating their own unapologetic awesomeness.
I just believe in something so strong for the first time in my life.
I can't shake it, it's this nagging thing that gets me up every.single.morning, very excited to be alive. Literally, every 10 minutes of my day is allocated to something ... I didn't even know it was physically possible to be so busy, yet at the same time, I have never gotten more things done.
I got an email from this guy the other day... see, as all this stuff is going on, I recognize that I am going to need help on a few projects, and I reached out to this guy - dug his stuff ... but he fucking pissed me off with his calls and emails. I have no attachments to anything, and if I drop off the radar for 5 minutes its because another project that has priority needs tending to. I am balancing so many things right now, its insane. To get any ONE thing accomplished in life, you have to have 10 of them up in the air. The management of all of this is absolutely insane. But I'm also 25, if not now - when?! Its just so much harder documenting all of this in real time, than being able to look back from my little bungalow in the jungle saying "when I was your age ..." I am my age. This is what I am doing. And if it weren't for this community, I don't know where I'd be. So from the very bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for allowing me every day to have an excuse for doing this, and for finding it interesting enough to watch.
