Hello.
Good day fellows! I have returned to LiveJournal. Many of you may be wondering where I've been, but I doubt it. Anyways, the past few months I have taken it upon myself to drop out of college, acquire a large sum of money, and dump it all into an independent video game store called Playback Media Ltd. I have been here at the store, day and night since April, and before that I have been setting up accounts, ordering inventory and displays, signing leases, paying bills, filling out forms (lots of forms), and registering my company with the State of Ohio. I spent way too much money. But now I have a cool store, with lots of games and movies and CDs and stuff, so thats cool I guess. I wake up in the morning, go to the store, work on stuff there, close the store at 9pm, drop off internet orders at the post office, and then go home. When I get home, I either play some Final Fantasy XI, watch TV (all my shows ended though), or just smoke a joint and relax, maybe watch a movie. The reason why I say this is because I haven't had a true day off since the beginning of April, and I can't wait to go back to Cleveland and spend time with my friends and family this weekend, and not have to worry about anything. I will be in Mentor on Saturday for my brother Beef's graduation party. I encourage you all to come out to the house anytime after 2pm and say hi and grab some food and chill. Sunday is a free day for me so anyone who wants to get together let me know. My cell is 440-520-5475.
So basically I've just been hanging out and playing video games for a while. I really need a vacation. I want to make the store completely self-sufficient so that I can just take a few days off here and there and enjoy the fruits of my labor. I've thought about hiring someone, but I really can't afford it yet. It would be a lot easier if I had a business partner, someone who could invest 100% of their time into the store. I had a few people in mind, but no one is ready to make that decision, and I've poured a lot of money into this place, and I don't really know anyone who is prepared to make a sizable investment just to be a partner. You know, starting a business wasn't really as hard as I thought. It is, however, a lot of work. But it isn't very hard work. Not like a machine operator or warehouse worker. More like an entry level office job. 7 days a week. If any of you guys ever decide to get the crazy idea to start a business, don't hesitate to get a hold of me. I can lend you however many hands I have free at the moment.
I also put on about 20 pounds since last summer and I am VERY disappointed in myself. I haven't been playing any DDR or anything, and I've been eating a lot of fast food too, so that's what I attribute my weight gain to. Or just sheer laziness, who knows. Either way, I wanna get back in shape, get fit.
I also have been re-thinking my career choices, and as a small business owner I have a lot more room to expand my business ventures. I have always wanted to open a restaurant, so has my dad. My real passion is in digital cinematography, and as soon as I save up enough money, I'm buying a professional camera. I always thought of this store as the big step in my life that will keep me at bay for a long while, but I realized it is just a stepping stone on my journey through life. If you take away everything in your life, just clear it out, think about what you love to do. Then, figure out a way to turn what you do now in to what you really love to do. It might take some time, but at least you know it's there for you.
I'm getting a new apartment with Robin in Bexley. We move in July 28th. It is a nice 2 bedroom with 2 levels, and a washer and dryer. Probably gonna get a little black kitten too.
Yeah so if anyone wants to stop out to the store, the address is 541 S. Drexel Ave. Bexley, OH 43209. Or you can just google it. I'm open 11-9 everyday except sundays, 1-6. Sometimes, I sleep in and get here at noon, or later XD but no one ever comes in then anyways. You can have an friends discount too, buy 2 get 1 free, anything used in the store, just for being my LJ friend!
