This weekend is the final weekend of my August travels. First Rock the Bells in San Bernardino, then Tokyo Delve in Los Angelos, and finally 94.9 Comedy Jam & a BBQ in the South Bay.
Though it was plenty fun, I’m ready for a little down time. Hm, no, I guess that’s not right. I’d say I’m ready to get back to business. There’s lots of work to get done in the following month and I don’t know if I’ll finish by my Oct 1st deadline but I’m not too worried about it right now. Deadlines are important but making sure I don’t die due to stress is more important.
Relieving stress is so important in fact that I subjected myself to a very cold night and massive crowds just for some laughs, over exposure to the sun without liquid protection… twice, and lack of sleep and comfort in order to spend some time with friends I don’t see often.
It’s been a great month. Happy Birthday John! Happy Birthday Pauline!
After 11 months in the ring with the life crushing Las Vegas real estate market, It looks like Vegas draws first blood. August 6, 2008 marks the date of the 1st property under my watch that went to auction. I don’t know what the results of the auction was but that doesn’t really matter anyway. The point is there’s nothing I can do about it now.
This last week has been a constant exchange between me and my lenders. With my lenders on the attack and with me getting assaulted to my mid-section, shoulders, and FACE! Yes, that’s right, I’m startin’ to look like the toxic avenger at this point.
However, I refuse to walk away with a complete loss. There is something to gain even from the biggest defeats. Heck, even the toxic avenger became a hero! Well, I’ll be lucky to walk away from this with a little more experience with handling a mass amount of tasks with phenomenally important deadlines. Oh, and my telephoning skills are getting better. I absolutely hate making phone calls. Well, ok, maybe not hate. That is such a harsh and overlyused word. I absolutely dislike making phone calls though! It is the reason for most of my procrastination. Though, these days I make so many bloody phone calls I don’t mind as much. I still mind, just not as much. Plus, I spend so much time on hold… nevermind. No need to explain how abysmally unproductive I am.
Well, better call it a night. Gotta get up early to meet a client and of course make more phone calls.
This weekend was a much needed assault on my senses. Though, only the aural assault was really enjoyable. I got to enjoy the sounds of Scrath, Supernat (who’s half the size he use to be but still twice the freestyle powerhouse), DJ Green Lantern, Murs, Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, Rakim, De La, Raekwon & Ghost, Meth & Red, Pharcyde, Mos, Nas, & Tribe!
Oh before I forget what brought all these great rappers onto one stage. Go check out the Rock the Bells Tour!
Besides treating my ears to the urban poetry that is hip hop, I also treated my face to the skin burning that is the sun. 8 hours in the sun without sunblock. Yeah, I look real fried these days. My skin feels like the edible paper on rabbit candies. Fortunately for me I don’t have to leave the house for a few days. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go exfoliate myself.
Today was the first day of a 4 day Las Vegas Super Conference hosted by the Wealth Intelligence Academy. And wow did they set up a spectacular presentation for all the attendees. I think they booked all the banquet halls at Paris. They are also providing breakfast and lunch! Not, muffins and coffee but a real bacon and eggs breakfast!
But that’s not what is important. I just get excited about food. The real spectacle is all the heavy hitter real estate investors that are presenting this weekend. Now, of course a lot of these presenters are also selling their programs and making promises of great wealth if you follow their system. That goes without saying. Heck if I had the money I would be buying programs I don’t need either! The atmosphere is that exciting. Well, it’s exciting to me anyway.
It’s a good thing I’m broke because I would have investing in another program. Though I wish I wasn’t because it was a short sale program and it’s something I’m really interested in. However, I’m already learning about commerical real estate and trying to study two programs at once is too much information. Not to mention I have my own real estate problems to deal with. Fortunately though, the talk on short sales really opened my mind to more possibilities that I may be able to employ to fix my real estate dilemmas.
Starting is always the most difficult but I’m excited for what the future holds.
May 20, 2013 damnit! One day closer.
my Reason:
Of course my reason would involve a pretty lady.
Is there a better reason to want to become an educator than to win the heart of a pretty young lady?
Yes, it’s true, Veronica, I have set my eyes on a new lady.
Gomenasai, but my heart must move on.
And who is this lovely lady?
Yankumi of course.
Actually, that’s Yukie Nakama but I don’t know her so I have a crush on a character she plays in Gokusen. Which is a Japanese series about a future 4th generation Yakuza boss who would rather become a teacher. Check out Gokusen and see why Yankumi has caught my eye!
