GOALS


I have been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do with my life and the goals I want to accomplish. So I decided to write them down so I can remember and try to keep at it.


# 1 GOAL: Get in shape!

I miss the days back in 7th -10th grade when I was actually in shape and I could run for miles without breaking a sweat. Now when I walk up the stairs I have to wipe my head of the sweat that has gathered there.


# 2 GOAL: Pay off all my bills and debt that I can pay off with ease.

Now I'm not talking about paying off my cars and everything but I would like to pay off my credit card bills, the money I owe my mother and stuff like that. If I did that I could breath a lot easier each month.


# 3 GOAL: Finish my gosh darn book

A lot of people don't know this but I am currently writing a book. I'm not going to tell anybody the exact story they will just have to wait until I publish it. I keep changing the beginning because I want it to be perfect and so far I keep putting it off then I start on it some more then put it off again. I would love to finish it within the next couple of years.


# 4 GOAL: Go to School

Now I'm not planning on my book getting me rich or anything so I want to go to school and get a great job that I love doing and can do for the rest of my life.


# 5 GOAL: Start a Non-Profit

I was thinking that anybody who has a Job, has a place to sleep, puts food on their table, and can go out for fun has the ability to help somebody in need or donate a lot more then they need. I don't have the exacts on what I would do but I would definitely like to start a Non-Profit when I can offered it and offer time into it.


# 6 GOAL: Start a Family

I don't want to be kid less forever!


# 7 GOAL: Start my own business

I would really like to own my own business one day. Who wouldn't? Whether its in the restaurant business or something else I really think it would be great.

GOOD TIMES

Today brought back some good memories. I was able to hang out with one of my best friends from High School today. Him and I had a lot of fun together and we did everything together through High School.
We went to Barnes and Noble and then we went to Ihop to have a little bite to eat. (Even though IHOPs pancakes taste like they were cooked on soggy diapers.) We just talked about old memories and laughed about them. Some of my favorite memories were how we would sluff school for a entire week and then get into trouble and have to go to court. Or when we were up in his attic and I fell through the ceiling. We went to Home Depot or Lowes 4 times trying to get supplies to fix it before his mother came home. We did a pretty good job with what we used to fix it. Such as Duck Tape, Gorilla Glue, Putty, and Spray paint. She found out but only because we didn't clean up the dust on the floor so that made her look up when she got home.
We also went to a construction site one night and got in those big black tubes that they put in the ground and we rolled down the hill in them. He was an awesome friend and it sucks that he lives so far away and that his wife hates me.... Don't ask me why she just hates me for some reason. Probably cause Josh and I talk about all the fun we had and she is jealous or something. Anyways i had a great time in High School because of him!

Viva Las Vegas


Jackie and I recently had the opportunity to take a little nice vacation and head out to Las Vegas. I had a blast and it was probably one of the best trips I had to Vegas. We left Wednesday night March 10th and returned today Sunday March 14th. I think that was the perfect time to spend in Vegas after that I get pretty Vegased out!

We stayed out the Hooters Casino. NO not because of the girls (although they were a plus) but because we got a excellent deal on the room and we wanted to stay very close to the strip. MGM was only across the street and they have a new monorail station there that goes up the trip. Have to tell you the first day we walked up the strip and back and our feet were killing! So the monorail is a great addition.

We did a lot there. We went to all the usual places and casinos and we were able to visit a couple attractions. We went into the wax museum and took a lot of pictures in there. I have to tell you they look very real! Honestly in some rooms you couldn't tell who was real and who wasn't. We also saw Nathan Burton a comedic magician. He was your average magician however he did pull off a couple astonishing tricks.

But my favorite show now that we saw for the first time was Cirque Du Soleil. It was amazing. I think there are people who want to see it but don't because it is a expensive show. That's how I was for 5 years however we decided to finally do it and it was worth it! Amazing performers doing amazing stunts and acrobats. They had a vertical stage were arrows were shot at them and they climb with the arrows. They also had a fight scene on a vertical stage that made it appear you were watching them from above. IT IS WORTH IT go see it if you have been trying to make up your mind.

Other than that just walking around the shops and having a good time. It was a fun trip and I cant wait to see Cirque Du Soleil again!
