Finishing UPright!

Can I please just write on here that I absolutely love planning events? : D I just finalized a night out-- and it is going to be a blast. I just booked a LimBUSine to take us from J.Murphys to the Royals game. I managed to land an excellent deal on the bus, as well as the Royals tickets, so for each person the grand total is 45 dollars. I already have 21 people confirmed with me. If I am able to sign up 35 people, that 45 dollars will also include some beer on the party bus. Woo! How fun!

In T-PLUS 1 week and 1 day, I leave for Oregon. My family and I are heading up to the Pacific Northwest to get away for a week. Oh, and by the way, I'm running a marathon while I am there. The marathon is in Newport, Oregon on June 5th. My goal is to finish the 26.2 miles- standing UPRIGHT with a smile on my face. The day after my sissy turns 27! (Insert shocked look here).

So, my recent idea is to plan night out and events like this for a living. Why not? People love to get together and do amazing and fun things like the JMurphys/Royals night I planned, but from my experience, no one actually wants to plan it. I would be the liasion between the company/group with the designated party place. This sounds promising and I will have to look into it and see if there would be interest in my services.

One week until Oregon! Until then, I will basically be living at JMurphys. Feel free to come and visit me if you would like.

Struggling artist with no canvas!

With the inspiration coming from Jena, Mallory, Breanna, and Jackie, I have decided to start this blog. Yes, I had an amazing blog that documented my European travels and studies. However, when I went to access that blog this morning- Google so cleverly and nicely informed me that the host account no longer existed. I took this as a sign. A sign to start fresh. Start an entirely new blog, and yes, start an entirely new life. You can access my old blog at morgankenney.blogspot.com. But for me, this blog is the one that matters.

I am a post-grad. I love running, talking with people, laying in the sun, and over-analyzing just about everything. I have always worked incredibly hard my entire life. Whenever I set my mind to something, I achieve it. No matter what. But! This blog will document the one thing that has proved to be an obstacle, finding a purpose for that beautiful college degree I have hanging in the hallway. Finding a purpose to me paying hundreds a month to suffice the college loan collectors. Finding a company, organization, or individual that will appreciate and give me the opportunity to lend them my skills- my passions-- and my heart.

So, without further delay- I welcome you to this blog. My tell-all, heart-wrenching acceptance of the rejections I have gotten in the past year.. and my joys and pains that will sure to continue on this search. It has been one year since graduation-- I do have a full time job-- but it is in no way where I should be. I did not bust my ass for 22 years to be tending bar for a living. Sure, it is fun *most days* but my heart is not happy there. I need more and will find it.

: ) And so the story of the struggling artist- with no canvas, begins!
