Customer Service is Dead

well i guess this title says everything i mean to say in this blog today. i'm so tired of going out in this society and being treated like trash from those that are paid (poorly obviously) to treat me like a consumer of product. i'm no snob by any means but these customer service reps are starting to get out of hand. i'm a c.s.r. myself and if i did 1/2 the things that get done to me at work i would be out of a job. and i know what the problem is: these multi-billion dollar companies that we get flagged with daily are paying these people pennies and asking them to treat people like royalty and the numbers aren't adding up. it's false advertising though, because on the commercials they pretty much tell us: "hey, we're here for you" and when you go to the actual establishment it's like every man for themselves, don't ask nobody nothin' 'cause they really don't want to help you. customer service is surely dead. -J

Entertainers

well, there are those of us that teach, those of us that do and those of us that do things B.I.G. entertainers. they (of course) entertain us, they wow us, they make us forget our crappy existence and they make us feel good. we lose ourselves in them and some of us actually take it so far as to be called fanatics (fans!). is this even healthy? hey, personally i don't think so but a lot of us do it. i've had my share of being a fan but today these celebs are just too accepting of our fortunes (or the lack thereof) enhancing theirs while we work like dogs day to day with no real options other than the ones we give ourselves. they get all high and mighty rich and forget that without our support they are nothing. but oh no! because we have made them now the endorsements come and give to them because we will buy into that also. where does it end? it ends with us and how we chose to spend our money. period. -J

Mad at the World

one might read this blog and think that i'm some angry individual. there's a lot that goes on in a day and the things that tend to sick out are the negative. those are the emotions and actions that seem easier to remember. the good times just seem to roll and the bad times scar our memories like the plague. well, what do we do about that? i'm no monk, i'm just a person who writes a blog in order to figure out this whole "life" thing. honestly i live in a nation (a world) that's so cold that it bites. i wonder around trying to learn what to do because i wasn't taught. my foundation was weak but i am determined for a strong ending. all i know is i need real love on my side and then i can see this thing a little more clearly. love is a word we throw around each day: "i love you", "love cheeseburgers", "i love trl..." and this word is a healing word. love heals us. it let's us know that everything will be okay no matter what's going on. so whenever you get a little angry or mad at the world yourself....remember who and what you love and smile! -J

Searching for Beauty

in life we are constantly on a search. searching for purpose, searching for understanding, searching for beauty. we all want to be beautiful. it would be great if we all were born that way, but not all of us are. although, all of this is within and only we decide exactly what we are. at times we are so sure of things, others we have no idea what the heck we are doing. i think it's important to remember who we are in all things and at all times because eventhough we change there is always apart of us that just wants peace, understanding, beauty and purpose. we are humans. we talk, we think, we have opinions, we work, we work too much and spread ourselves thin, we overdue things trying to keep up and what does it all really mean? we have to take care of ourselves and each other. parents take care of your kids. teach them the way. you can only do your best and that should be enough. most importantly teach them the world and prepare them for the future. it is surely upon us. -J

What's Next???

so everything's out in the open in this age. where most things were once hidden, now there is much less to the imagination. if we were in a world full of adults that would be one thing. but, we are of many different ages and understandings and that's when things become an issue of responsibility. young children, teens and adolescents need guidance. those of us that have good sense have to carry morality with us or a generation could be lost. we are becoming a society of saying yes to the wrong thing and no to the wrong thing. backwards. and i'm just trying to figure out how and why did we get to this point while at the same time pointing fingers. what's next??? -J

Reflection Eternal

birthdays. we all have them, some we hate more than others. i am going to be 26 tomorrow. 26. it's one of those in between ages where you just take with a grain of salt and keep on licking if there is more to look forward to. i am not where i thought i would be a this age, but i really haven't been doing much different for different results. i want to see change in the world, but there is always more to things than we know. life is a mystery to me that i'm trying to figure out everyday in order to get better at. life is a tree. it grows, it goes thru many seasons, it challenges your foundation. and just as a tree we must stand tall thru the seasons of life. high wind and sunshine even as leaves fall we must stand our ground. now, some of us don't know where that is or even what that is. we all realize our ground eventually, we just have to keep watering the plant! -J
