All I Want To Do is Get Lost…
Something I thought about last year, but have been in my heart for the past 4 years is coming closer, but scarier has the minutes go by. I really don’t understand the hold up, it has been over 3 months of waiting, waiting for a process that shouldn’t have taken much time feels like I will ever get to live the experience of getting lost.
This Year…
So far 2007 is interesting. It can easily be a repeat of last year and me resorting to my old ways, but guess what, I won’t. I have learned so much already this year this past week I can truely say that this is going to be a breakout year for me. I will be doing more traveling, reading, meeting new people, and trying new things.
The Direction of This Blog…
When I started this blog my intent was to write about the entrepreneurial things I was doing while working my day job. However, quite a bit of my topics have been more about situations in life than entrepreneurship. There are a couple of reasons because of that. One reason is that I like expressing my opinions about life’s experiences and the other reason is because I simply don’t have any profit generating business. The topics that I do talk about entrepreneurship are failed experience and complaining about other people.
My Mission
Developing a personal mission statement for my life has been the hardest thing that I have done. It wasn’t like studying for a test that you knew the answers to or doing a task at work that required tons of research. My mission took me literally a month to figure out, but it will surely direct me to greatness in the world.
Reading is good and bad
My reading addiction
We can’t get any where without learning from others, reading is one form of that. Reading can be an addiction that can hurt just like any other addiction. I have no clue how many books, blogs, magazines, or whatever I have read since I have gotten out of school, but it is really crazy. Most of the books that I have read are non fiction, which isn’t the problem just a realization that I have noticed. I am not the fastest reader, but can really get into a book by the first couple of pages. As I sit here now I feel a void after finishing my last book. I am always trying to grab something to read, but now that simply has to stop.
Book Reviews
I have been reading quite a bit lately and want to let people know what kind of books that I am reading and to get your take on some more reading that I can do in the near future.
Labor Day Weekend Trip to Chicago
The Chicago trip was a great trip that was feeled with excitement, friendship, and an experience. I met up with a couple of college buddies that I haven’t seen in awhile. This is the first and certainly not the last trip weekend trip we will take with each other. The first night we went out on the town. Second day we went to a museum, talked to various people, went to a free jazz concert, and ended up a club that R-Kelly was at. The third day had to be the most exciting because we rented a car and explored the great city of Chicago and made a mistake to travel to Milwakee.
