2006, a learning pro-sess.
My 2006 Confession
Wow, what a crazy year, 2006. It didn’t really hit me until having a nice “intellectual” conversation with my friend/landscaper/general contracter Jared, and a nice brief meeting with my CPA. Oh, not to mention the check I wrote Uncle Sam today. I can’t even remember the last time I have had a meaningful conversation with anyone, I seem to surround myself with people who not only distract me from trying to achieve success, but only bring me down, I really despise negativity, but yet I keep it around me. Maybe a few of my friends are good, a few as in one or two? Anyways, 2006, I admit, I made some very bad decisions. Not bad in a sense which was necessarily wrong, but just very unwise judgment which reflected a very difficult outcome. Everything choice I made wrong, everything I did, anything I came across, I just now realized what it did for me. It made 2006 an insanely difficult year which I am now paying the consequence for. I have noticed a lot of my allies and enemies live mediocre lives (I am in no way shape or form saying this is bad, or sitting myself above the pedestal). I am just simply stating everyone I am around lives a completely different lifestyle, and I always seem to get the impression I am being drained, used, and/or simply being taken for granted, yet I let it continue. Basically, I don’t have a spine or backbone to simply stand up for what I believe in. I have ran into so many cumbersome scenarios, I have wanted to just rip somebodies intestines out and wrap them up with them. Okay, besides all the dramatic ranting. What I have learned this year (A few friends have helped me realize this):
- Relationships
(I love Rose)
- How to better manage and budget money
- How to talk to people
- How to run multiple business
- How to grow a backbone
- How to determine who is real and who is not
- How AIM is a horrible distraction
- Having one friend is better than multiple fake followers
- And so much more other stuff
- How people perceive you just cause of appearance
2006 was just an intense learning process, full of mistakes, and I will admit, I had my fun. But, I realized in order to continue, and amplify my success, I have to include balance in my daily diet. Balance and focus is something I totally lost sight of in 2006. I mean, wow, so much happened in 2006. Cars, toys, Rosie (the 1 good thing), rolling off mountains, traveling, businesses, parties (big parties), and just to much more to even explain. I will conclude my 2006 confession, and get on to some more arousing topics.
Other news
I would like to announce to everyone, I have finally dispatched Perfection Apparel! A few small table/html glitches, but other than that, finally! So click the link, and buy something, or I’ll ban you from MySpaceSupport.com and my blog =]. I know, the launch date was one year and two months postponed, so that’s even more reason to buy a shirt!
Remember the little project 2A has been working on for the past forever? I sign the contract and close the deal tomorrow. Exciting? Yup. Am I going to tell you the name of the site yet? Nope. Just wait.
I am getting really tired, so I will finish this session tomorrow.
PS. The reasons I have not been posting is because my brain has been blocked, and I can never think of what to write or how to write.

One thing to be sure of in this game is never put all your eggs in one basket. The key is to have as many different ventures as possible so if 1 takes a hit you are not left stranded. Especially when dealing with yahoo and google. The store looks great and I hope you do well.

Balance is the key. Dont let 1 think take over you life. Work, party, toys should be balanced
