Andrea Rants: Insights, Thoughts, and Opinions

MY thoughts, insights and opinions on things in MY life. I'm not asking for your judgment. Enjoy...or not.

Name:
Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

Corporate America 12 year veteran. I've held positions ranging from Customer Service to Sr. Manager to Assistant Vice President of Marketing. Novelist. I've always written. My first book was penned (or rather, penciled) at the tender age of six, and every moment since, I have been writing this short story or that novel. My first novel is a work of fiction: Her Essence, a Mystery/Thriller. I am in the process of writing my first non-fiction book, which incorporates my life coaching methodologies and philosphies as well as other thrillers: Taming Roland, About Bryant, and the sequel to Her Essence.

The Old and the New

OK. I started this blog in the middle of the night/morning. So yes, it was illegible with lines running into one another. Despite my best efforts, using my cell phone for light etc. Anyhow, I'll need help with it. I'd only started it, so anything you can add will be GREATLY appreciated. AND, I'll add it to this blog.

Here it goes. You may recall my Hitler/James Frey blog See Here. Read it first.




I thought I would take it a bit further with musical artists. There are similarities between some of the newer artists and some of the older/ deceased ones. Again, I wrote this in my slumber.

Aretha Franklin~ Mary J. Blige
They both have that sultry gritty voice. Both experiment with hair color. Both are proclaimed "queens" of their respective genres

Sting~ Chris Martin
I actually mistook Chris for Sting. Don't recall the song. Love them both

Michael Jackson~ R. Kelly
Controversial people. Issues with kids. Creative geniuses. Enough said. Not a fan of either, though

Barry White~ 50 Cent
Stop it. Wait, just wait. It could be. Both are sexy crooners. Of course, 50 is liable to throw you up against the wall as opposed to Barry's ability to make you throw yourself up against the wall. Love them both...differently. Oh, and had run ins with both of them!

Any more? I'm sure I missed a slew. The dreams ended on a very good note. I wrote a short story today based on another dream. And I had a separate wonderful dream that uh, well, let's just say it was a very good dream.

I totally get the similarites. Except for the 50 cent one. Maybe cos I'm not a fan.

How about doing something with actors in the near future? That would be a fun mix:)
