#GRAMMYs #Despacito #GrammysSoMale

“According to leading experts in the very scientific field of complaining about things, there is no pastime more popular than griping about all the instances where the Grammys screwed up and gave an award to the wrong person.” (Vulture.com)

Ha! Well, you can add me to the list of complainers in regards to last night’s Grammys.

Though I am not in the music industry, and I don’t decide which songs I purchase based upon the results of any award show, I must say that I am shocked that ‘Despacito’ did not win a Grammy last night. (It was nominated for Best Song of the Year, Best Record of the Year, and Best Performance by a Duo or Group.)

The outcry on social media suggests that I am one of many who were shocked by this outcome. (Check out these hashtags on Twitter: #Grammys, #Despacito.)

3-2-1… Take Off!

Thank you for visiting my blog! As you may have guessed, my name is Amber Green. I am an aspiring novelist, and freelance writer (this is my website for business purposes: www.thewriteresults.ca).

I am very comfortable as a writer (my instincts are sharp for brand reputation management, and I excel at writing copy for marketing purposes). I consider myself a chameleon when writing marketing collateral for my clients, as I am able to adopt the voice of the brand to connect with the company’s target audience,  but sharing my own opinions on a public forum is outside of my comfort zone. I was surprised by this personal revelation, but my initial resignation provided the inspiration for the title of this site: ‘It’s A Go!’

As an experienced social media manager, I am keen to explore social media trends, and discuss the current events prevalent online. I invite you to share your thoughts as a delve into my experiences and personal opinions in pursuit of greater understanding of the world around us, and to achieve a greater degree of personal growth and awareness.

Inspired by the following quote by Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Work Week, I am excited to launch my blog, and develop my own voice and personal brand via this website and its corresponding social media pages. (Please follow me on Twitter: @ItsAGo_blog and Facebook: @ItsAGoBlog)

““The stars will never align, and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. ‘Someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it’s important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually,’ just do it and correct course along the way.” (Quote via ‘Entrepreneur.com.’) 

It’s A Go! Join me, and give your dreams the green light.
