That's how April went for me: it sucked. The first quarter of the year was a pretty vibrant time but I don't know what happened in April. Things came to a crashing halt and at times, it felt like the Junkyard Dog was slamming me into the mat and crushing me with a 4x4. Coincidentally, I didn't travel outside of the NYC metro area which means I wasn't as busy as I was earlier in the year. Perhaps busyness is what I need? Maybe I need a women in my life? I dunno. What I do know is that I need to seriously get my ass in gear and be productive in some way or form. Thank goodness April is over today. Tomorrow is May and it starts off at least with a bang.

I did an interview a couple months ago for some magazine in my industry -- no it's not GQ or Details. I found out last week that they want to feature me in the June issue and have my ugly mug on the front cover. Unfortunately, I cut my face by accident this week and there's a slight scar that's visible. I hope they can photoshop that out. Good thing the journalist interviewed me by phone, otw they wouldn't have considered the feature. lol! So my schedule tomorrow got wiped because a photographer is showing up for a photo shoot, and I'm at the mercy of a shoot schedule with makeup on the side. Kinda cool because it's my first official shoot other than headshots. Corporate communications and our PR agency gets real involved and they basically tell me what to do, when to show up and what to wear. Even funnier is that they sent some sort of handler for the day from our headquarters which is located out west to oversee the effort. I may be the lowest ranking employee at my company to get a magazine cover.
