The first time I realized I have the power to change my life…

I wrote this a while back in my high school days. As you can see it’s always in the “I” because it’s more of an entry. Without further ado, here is my journal:

Over the summer, my summer was just eventful. I broke my toe, almost got robbed, and had a red-eye for weeks! The good thing was I (almost) meant Clint Eastwood. I rode my bike from Detroit to Waterford (that’s 40 miles.) I met this nerdy girl who lives in Farmington Hills, She’s a senior so I will be going to my prom soon…. The world needs more nerdy girls…lol.

I took this life- and it completely reversed my thinking. I don’t believe in soulmates…but I do believe that anyone can overcome approach anxiety because society teaches it. I learned about openers, bantering, storytelling, rapport, and kino. I also learn about value (no one is willing to put up with anyone that only takes away value.) and avoiding the pick-up persona. I like this way of pick-up because it’s sincere. I know this works and I’m improving because last year, I spent my summer having a serious crush on Olivia Hawkins but now this summer, I had 2 girlfriends. Also, one of them said that I knew her better than most of the people in her life. (that’s rapport!) This is great because this is all I ever wanted: be more successful in social situations while still being me. Also, Gentry (the guy who was sex-crazed with the cello.) is going to be my apprentice but I am going to be teaching him what I know. Picking up is what I do because I want to pick-up everyone’s moods and days up. (Guys included..not in a gay way..)

I also met a fellow writer and I signed up to an acting company. They say they handle concessions so they handle concessions so hopefully, I get paid.

That’s been my summer!

When’s the first time you realize that you had the power to change your life?

I’m Changing A Few Things.

You may have noticed that a few things have changed about this blog. And no, I’m not just talking about the theme or how the website even looks but I actually referring the ENTIRE website in general. I’m even considering selling this domain to somebody. Yes, I am changing the name of this site.

Why?

Much like Bill Lawrence who created Cougar Town and discovered (to much his dismay) the show had straddled FAR OFF from its original premise so he decided to change the name of it. I, too, want to do the same. Only now I am happy about it. I am pleased to sell this domain.

Now this blog will still be under my control. The only thing will be diffrent is that I no longer sell video games, television shows, music/MP3s, and movies. They’re not revelant towards this blog and never will be. However, I have taken upon myself to feature self-help products for you to live longer, be more wealthy, have a fighting chance and choice in dating and finally and most important of all, have a life full of choice in location and even lifestyle. I feel that I wouldn’t be fulfilling that promise to you if I didn’t do anything in my power to reflect it.

Another thing I’m changing is my response time to you. When you post a comment (that’s not hateful or pointless), I plan to get back to it in 24 hours. Otherwise, it’s just an article and not something you can interact with it. That’s the magic of blogs in the first place anyway. I plan on having “guest writers” here for the blog just in case, you get sick of hearing my voice through your head all the time. I know many things but there’s one thing I don’t know: you.

I don’t know your reaction to this and by knowing your reaction, I can make MUCH MUCH MORE CONSTRUCTIVE DECISIONS about this. So, DON’T BE SHY and tell me about the changes. I sincerely want to know.

Drug Dealing can get you far in life. Just ask Jay Z.

Hey, do you want to be successful? Do you want to live a life beyond your dreams. You can deal drugs…when you get your pharmacist license… WilderDeals.com does not condone drug dealing. However, I do condone to reach beyond the limits…not just the sky.

Today, I was reading this issue of Forbes magazine, a magazine about making money and guess who’s on the front cover. Come on! You probably guess the one of two people on the cover is Jay Z but there’s another. He’s famous. He gets around. He’s a philanthropist. In short, he’s the richest investor in the world. Give up? It’s easy. It sounds like buffet.

It’s Warren Buffett. The two most unlikely pair get together for a lunch. (…or brunch…that’s besides the point.) Jay Z, known for his lyrics in rap and Warren Buffett….not so entirely famous but he prefers it that way. Now you think that these two have nothing in common and that they share different viewpoints of the world but then you realize that you are wrong. Dead wrong.

But of them were inspired at a young age. When Warren was wee little boy, he go see what dad did. What Daddy do was that he worked with investments back in 1930s. Bored to tears and no television at the time, Warren decided to take a crack at reading an investment book. He opened those books and started reading…and started learning. And soon before anyone knew it, he, his wife, and everyone across his path that one day, he will be the richest man of the world.

As for Jay Z, it all started with a sixth-grade teacher. A sixth-teacher who believed in him. As we know, Jay Z (Sean Carter) grew up in the Harlem projects. It’s ridiculous that the odds of someone making it out that neighborhood. Forget making it out. We’re talking living or just getting incarnated. It really wasn’t the nicest neighborhood you’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t lie about that. Neither would Jay Z.

Then, one day, she decided to take the class on a field trip to her house. (This was before stranger danger. If you’re a teacher, good luck getting your class into your house on a field trip…) Jay Z saw a whole new world as he entered her house. It was marvelous and it astounded him very much so. The Harlem projects was Sean’s world but after seeing her house. He decided that he wanted that life.

I missed a very key detail in Jay Z’s origins to success: the sixth-grade teacher did a lot more than just to take him to her house. Honestly, I would tell you what it is but I think you should read the interview yourself. You can go to your local library, your local bookstore and pick up the September 2010 of Forbes Magazine. Go to Page 42 and read the entire interview. Trust me, you’ll thank me, Jay Z, Steven Forbes, and Warren Buffett later. I promise.
