I truly didn’t think that working in retail on the strip would be a stargazing event.  Just the other day, Robert Schwartzman,  the front man for Rooney stopped in to find some new shirts.  While assisting him and his friend, I wanted to ask so many questions but not be a freak about it.  We talked about Coconut Records (his brother’s band/company), reminisced the days when Rooney had residency at The Roxy in West Hollywood and asked him about how a few of our friends are doing.  I kept it professional and let them shop like “normal people” and they left the store.  As boring as my life sounds right now, he reminds me of being free to do what you want in life. You may have to let go of people in your life but don’t worry; there are more people that you will meet and be more supportive of you.  Just visualize, attack your dreams, and see where you will end up. You’re most likely going to end out on top.
