I would comfortably deem Live Your Life the Rihanna/T.I. collab, my favorite song of 2009. Obviously there were plenty of runner ups, what with kings of leon, friendly fires, florence and the machine, some black eyed peas jams, that miley song, and the ever lovely Taylor Swift. The obvious reasons being 1. I love T.I. 2. I love Rihanna, but also I think the song itself was just dirty, passionate, and really got your blood pumping.

Now that 2009 is behind us we can begin to look forward to the songs of 2010, and perhaps create some sort of game plan to ensure changes for the new year. Now many people are claiming this was the worst decade ever, closed by the worst year of all time blah blah. I don't really see it being that huge of a disaster. Sure, some bad things happened but I feel like most people will find something to complain about when looking back at any year, and something to strive for in the respective upcoming year.



For me, its all about creating networks. Using my friends for their strengths. Gathering proactively to somehow make this better for all of us to ensure that when we look back on 2010 we can say "Oh Yes! That was the most super best awesome year ever!"



Here's what I'm looking for....

1. Framer - someone who excells in framing pictures, paintings, artwork, etc. Bonus if they can build custom frames themselves.


2. Printer - I think this person will be relatively similar to #1 so perhaps when I find one, I'll ask for suggestions for the other. Someone who knows how to effectively print and display pictures that I find on the internet.


3. Tool Owner - This person could get MVP status if they have lots of space to use said tools. I'm talking chop saws, jig saws, table saws, all the fun things needed to create custom works of art (custom frames perhaps?!)


4. The Heir - A very prominent figure who has access to something. Doesn't matter who or what, only where. A large space. An interesting space. A space with tons of potential. They need to inherit it, or at least have means to attain it thriftly to save me some money.


5. Retail Superstar - That one important person who knows all the right people in all the right places and can get you clothes at wholesale instead of retail, employee discounts, and the holy grail... sale on sale.


6. The Financeer - Gotta have someone there to keep it all together, make sure I'm saving when I need to and spending when I can, and of course paying bills when they are due (eek!).


7. Chef - Loves cooking, hates eating. Makes it all for the rest of us.


8. The Music Guru - Hipper than all the rest of us put together, doesn't really work, and if they do its usually for some internet blog or website doing HTML code and fonts. Knows all the hippest hip tracks.


9. Technological Buff - If gigs were muscles and PPI were abs this guy would be the hottest on the block. Instead he just has all the fun gadgets and the biggest flattest TV on the market and he loves to show them off at "bitchin parties." (plays nicely with blockBUSTER the DVD master, who owns every DVD ever made or Mr. Youtube - knows all the hot vids to watch before they get taken down and remixed and tainted by millions of comments and home video versions).


10. The Entrepenuer - Everyday activities transformed into money making schemes just like putting them into a machine.....a machine this guy probably invented.

Honorable mentions : the pet owner with the cutest dogs ever, the celebutante wannabes who can "always get you on the list," the reservation guy who has always got one for this new club or restaurant, and the "oh no I've got a better way" guy who, no matter what the issue or topic, has always got an easier, cheaper, and all around better way to get it done.
