A small serving of journal
July 31, 2005 Sunday 19
Today...has been a long day so far. It started out well enough, and I had gotten enough sleep. Last night I played poker at my manager's apartment again...I did so-so. My friend Aaron came as well, but left when he went out. I ended up placing second, which was enough to get me my money back. Anyway. I worked today, and that has been the extent of the day. I have come to loathe wasting an entire day by standing around the camera store, bullshitting people into buying cameras that they don't need. Really, most of the people who come into the stores could save several hundred dollars at least by not talking to the salespeople, and they would be just as happy with the cameras that they purchase. I guess I really want to be doing something with my life, but it's not going to be accomplished by not doing anything. I came up with the idea of the Aspect Foundation. Throughout my research into financial matters, and getting started in business, etc., something that came up is a plan of what one wants to accomplish. Before starting a business, one needs to have a clear view of the end goal; what one wants out of life. A business is a means to an end, it must be remembered. Not an end unto itself. So. I want to lead people. I am starting to affirm my belief that today's society is a dark age. Though in some respects there is "progress," it is held back by the constant infighting and differing purposes of varying groups of people.
