Yesterday was prom night at my old high school. You would think I should care more about it seeing as how I went to prom for 3 years - as a prom attendant, a prom co-chair, and for senior year. Everything was pretty and the girls had their dresses/hair done up, etc ... but I just don't feel as attached to my HS as I think I should be.
I was never into the whole 'high-school' thing. Hell, half of my junior classes and nearly all of my senior classes were at the local college for Post-Secondary. I can't help but feel like I was missing something during HS? Maybe it was the whole social aspect. I had ( and still have) some great and really close friends, but as for everyone else we never really talked much. And a lot of my memories are sort of numb. I hate that.
WHICH leads me to 42 things. BE MORE SOCIAL.
I love being social, but I never make enough time for it SOOO that is my next big focus point. Stop working so much and start going out.
Plus I usually have a hard time just starting/holding conversation - something I will be working on by forcing myself outside of my comfort zone.
Okay, okay. This post is starting to sound like a conversation that I would have with my psychiatrist (my mom made me go a few times when she found out I was gay, but after the shrink said that I was normal there was no reason to keep going). (My mom still goes every once in a while). It still feels good to drain my brain on paper/screen.
I'm gay btw. Well ... it's actually more complicated than that. I'll explain more in a later post.
Ok, where was I? SALES on ebay/amazon have been (ganster) of da hizzy (/ganster). I had over 80 orders this weekend 8U
(DEBT: $29,200)
Here is my entire philosophy for making a living on my own:
If I can make $300 a day profit, I will be making over $100,000 a year.
Based on this I send my brain into a money-making mode.
- I try to think of every way possible that I can make at least $300 a day in profit.
- I put those ideas into motion.
I know it sounds kinda dumb, but that small goal of making $300 a day in profit really motivates me every day to wake up, get work done, list items on ebay/amazon, go to flea markets, find products to re-sell, etc. And it works - $300 a day is hard, but definitely possible.
THEN after 10 or so years of working (and making $1,000,000) I can invest this (in a secure investment, like p2p lending) at 10% and live off the $100,000 interest per year.
Yep, I am basing my entire future off of this philosophy. I guess we will see how well it works over the next few months.
And the longest post ever is now complete. Sorry it was so random ^^. I'm still getting use to this whole online journal thing.
