Wouldn't it be awesome if women had their own real answer to Playboy...not something smutty but something with hot guys sprinkled with things that we really care about? I think most women WANT to be real Renaissance women...and be a little bit of everything to everybody. We have so many design shows, how to look better shows, watch the train wreck happen shows, how to be better parent shows, how to be better in general shows...what if we could combine all that in with some pictures of some hot naked guys! I was so frustrated when I bought my husband a subscription to Playboy, only to find out that Playgirl is no longer being published. WTF! This is just not right! So that was my frustration #1.
Frustration #2...Lifetime TV is NOT equal to Spike. Some of their movies are really cute, and I must say they seem to be moving in the right direction with the acquisition of Project Runway (SCORE!), but a lot of their movies focus on the awful things that women do to other women, or the victimization of women, which I think is just not right at all. There aren't any movies on Spike where guys are just victimized over and over. Guys don't want to watch this, they would think it is weak, and I don't know why women should have to watch it, either. And where is our EYE CANDY? Come on! Bring on Carter Oosterhouse, make him half-naked and have him fix up a house....or make super manny smoking HOT (but still straight!) and have him give advice...I'm just saying. They have questions, they've got MANSWERS and we have reruns of Will and Grace. Not fair!
Frustration #3...and I know a lot of guys and girls with this one...I am not doing what I believe I was put here to do. We all have our own talents and things that come easily to us, and I believe finding a way to showcase them and make money off of it is like the Holy Grail of Life. Obviously I am not going to become the female version of Hugh Hefner by working as a medical transcriptionist. I have done transcription for 12 years now, and it hasn't put me any closer to achieving any of the goals I set for myself, except maybe being able to stay at home with my kids and making some money on the side. Yes, that's awesome, but I lost track with who I am and who I want to be. And now that I'm getting older, I'm starting to feel like I wasted a WHOLE LOT of time!
So in answer to these frustrations, I've developed the Pursuit of Awesomeness, a blog about going from point A, lost and frustrated, to point B, happy and fulfilled...and it may take many forms, from a beauty product I've discovered that is super awesome and actually does what it says to advice I hope my kids will read and actually take to heart, to my transition from working class stiff to publishing guru!
