Just wanted to let you know that I fee...Hey C-Ray,<br /><br />Just wanted to let you know that I feel ya. Sometimes becuse I compete in the NPC's new bikini division I honestly feel like I'm not taken seriously on some of the boards, or that bikini is the dirty stepchild to the NPC. <br /><br />I've only been around for a few years, just recently competing, but I will say that the industry seems to be pretty dog-eat-dog at times, as are many other industries out there. <br /><br />I know as a competitor, I appreciate what you're doing and things you do to help the sport. Just keep it up, and you will get noticed. One day you're going to be the person that has been around for a long time, with the knowledge that can only come with time and getting your name out there. <br /><br />I have never heard an ill word spoken about you and doubt it's any hatred toward you. I think people are just so wrapped up in their own things that they often time don't make time for others, whether they notice/mean to or not.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900369051242867278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811206096575587797.post-29419531759441873222009-09-23T00:26:35.110-05:002009-09-23T00:26:35.110-05:00This goes WAAAYYY deeper than the FitChat, Edward....This goes WAAAYYY deeper than the FitChat, Edward. I can live with the chat failing. That's not the main reason I wrote this blog piece. I wrote it due to a combination of things over the last several months. It's way too much to get into right now.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I LOVE what I'm doing, and I hope there are those that see what I'm trying to do. Bottom line, the only way FitGems Nation is going to die is if I let it die, and I'll be damn if I let it go down without a fight. I need to fall to get back up. I need to fail in order to succeed. I need to "die" (not literally, or course) to live.<br /><br />I thank you for your comment, Edward, more than you could possibly imagine. People like you make me want to be a better supporter for the ladies in this industry and a better person in general.C-Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267969923588258047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811206096575587797.post-62126432600915047002009-09-22T21:55:41.366-05:002009-09-22T21:55:41.366-05:00Hi, C-Ray. I just read your blog and I admit I'...Hi, C-Ray. I just read your blog and I admit I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, so I will respond to what I think you're saying, and if I'm wrong, please correct me.<br /><br />Obviously, you're unhappy about the FitGems Chat not going well. In fairness, it was scheduled at a time when poeple are at work or school-as I am-and therefore don't have time to participate in a chat. <br /><br />As far as not being in the loop, I really can't comment on that, as I don't know the details. I do want to let you know that I do appreciate the work you do, as you provide a great service to the industry. I honestly think you should consider applying for a position with one of the major magazines/websites because of your knowledge and love for the sport. I can completely understand being frustrated about the lack of interaction that sometimes occurs here, but again in fairness, everyone has a life and people use websites when they are online for different things. I use this site for information as well as to learn about some of my favourite competitors in the bikini/figure/fitness world-I'm not much of a bodybuilding fan. <br /><br />Bottom line, I completely understand if you want to pull the plug on FitGems Nation entirely. I hope you won't, however.Blue Falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974262890935355638noreply@blogger.com
