Dream Gigs. I dream BIG.

My friend Bolt asked me to help her dye her hair awhile back. I said yes and managed not to ruin her hair. She asked me again this past weekend and I obliged. I've become her personal colorist. That led me to thinking about other gigs that I would want to do if given the chance. Some definitely require experience but if Homer Simpson can go to the moon, why can't I be whatever I want to be?! Bolt suggested I go to hair school. My friend Sarah suggested I be a tattoo artist.  Or finally write a book called Z-bonics: A New Language. The things that come out of my mouth. oy!

Currently I'm in the shipping industry and my night gig is my love - Art!

With that being said, here's a list of alternate careers/dreams gigs I would love to do:

• A puppeteer for Jim Henson. I would work on any project associated with him. I grew up on Sesame Street and I'm a fan of the Muppets. I'd have to work on different voices though.
• Monster makeup/prosthetics person ala Rick Baker. I want to make the most insane monster, creature or zombie anyone has ever seen! RAWWWR! Spend days on movie sets putting on insane makeup on people. 
• Working on nails at a beauty salon. I love being creative with my nails. Given the chance, I'd work in a salon giving manicures and talking about last night's True Blood. I love you Bill Compton!  
• Marine Biologist who only studies the Blue whale. They are amazing to me and I'd become a crazy whale lady living on her boat in the middle of the sea hanging out with them 24/7. Hot tea and binoculars please!
• A comic book artist. I don't like doing anything half-ass so I haven't attempted this feat...yet. 
• An animator for the Cartoon Network/Adult Swim shows. Again, I can draw but don't know any technical skills to become one.  oh what? I can go to school for that? GIVE ME MONEY THEN. :)
• A Farmer that raises llamas. I personally would like to own a llama. I'd call it BROCK ADAMS. 
• Zookeeper just so I can be called "Zoraida the zookeeper" lol

I'd die a happy women if I was able to accomplish the above. So far I've worked at a sex shop, a grocery store, a vet clinic, worked as an art assistant, a paint your own pottery place, an animal humane society, a library, retail store selling home goods and now helping people move their stuff. 

I just like trying everything once and see how it goes. 

For now I'll settle having one job and working on my free time on my first love. 

It's all good. Things work out the way they should even when you don't like the outcome. 

No worries. Go take a walk. You'll feel better.
