Before 12AM

Up this morning around 6ish, felt that itch in my throat, didn't want to snort, it would have waken the wife lol; right! wake her, not @ 6am, haha. Brianna had a "sleep over" with her cousins, so she not home, I got bored. Remembered I had recorded Miami/Thunder game. Haslem was most impressive, Bron Bron as always, did his thing, and Bosh! that- jumper- is- wwweeett.
I wanted to start this sentence off with" I almost forgot about my computer being broke", but that would've been a lie, it was on my mind. It hasn't booted up since last nite, had to test her again, I thought she would've come on, I let it rest...., crossed my fingers, come on, come on????..... its was really broke. It was too early to call anyone, but I was sick, that damn thing is my lively hood. I watched Jersey Shore, to get my mind off it; had to see what these idiots did this past week. Had to eat, I had sandwiches, yeah for breakfast, I know hahaha, but it was good:-)
At 930am she wakes(my wife), I instantly asked her to try to fix the computer, she tries, she confirms, its broke. Wifey says it may be on the other screen, which is @ the office, I got dressed, but not really; I put on socks and shoes, & just stayed with what I had slept, that's nasty, no draws, but I was optimistic, thought I'd be right back home. While I was driving to the office, I called Mike,( my design guy) he didn't really know what to tell me.
After its all said and done, I ended up @ Microsoft in Scottsdale $49 later, I can pick it up computer tomorrow. Now I'm @ watching the Bama game. Bree's home, her and mommy are sleeping

Gettin After It: Being Inspired

When the U.S. Basketball team won the Olympic Gold Medal Game, the game came on at 4am, had to work at 8 , but I was up! and fired up! you know "the hoop junkie", had the treadmill out, figured I'd burn some Lb's at the same time, you know (drop some off the waist) nerves on edge cuz Argentina was no joke, and the Gold Medal wasn't a lock, but it was: youknowhatimsayin, they still had to play the game, on foreign soil, and if Wade and Bron Bron had a off night, we could've taken an L. But we won, we won.. Kobe's the MVP.
Went to work on cloud 9, sold my first 2 cars by 11am, had and appointment that showed around noon, and a unexpected showed about at the same time, of course I took the one that was paying the most, and split the other , was trippin. This day was in the top twenty, best days of my life, we won.

"Return to Sender"

Meanwhile back at the lab, I sit wondering what is faith? looking up at these light green walls, with a glass desk that faces outward, man that door packs a lot of heat literally, it's about 109 outside! So what exactly does having faith mean? I hear my mom say "we all for self and GOD for us all", I believe that to be true too. My definition of faith is taking the action and knowing that you will be alright, understanding that if it's worth something, it'll take time, and in the process is where the true blessing is. A friend of mine mentioned that "mutha&%#**'s" want a million dollars, but for free!! We call it the Lotto mentality, "I haven't done anything to contribute to this world, but someone should give me million dollars", yeah right!! And we'll watch you destroy yourself. Its the journey,the learning,and the growing as a person, thats the value, not the destination.I think that GOD gives the blessing to the ones that are ready to receive it and do the work, I actually think the blessing is not for the person the blessing is given too, but it is given to them, so they may bless many, by doing the neccessary work, taking a little for themselves, but sharing. I always think, why would GOD give a blessing to someone and it stop with just them? thats my only question, I always tell my mom that I "question everything" and I do....

Brianna

Sitting in my home, invited my nephew over for a night of 2k10 hoop.We generally play the best of "5", I'm mostly the champ.. BTW. My wife was headed to the store, she's leaving Bree with I. Now let me give a little of the back story to this, when we have are laptops open my daughter gets veeery jealous and hits it, so we never have them around with her, at least not usually. My wife was gone, and I was into the game, and "watching" Bree. She started doing the jealous thing, against the joystick, pullin on it? then she brings her little backpack? that's her bag now, with her little necessities inside, she's pointing like she wants something from the bag, I was guessing some cracker or her treats, gave her crackers, she fed them to the dogs, took those away. I'm back into the game, she started pulling everything out of the bag her treats, huggies, wipes, the lay down pad.I'm like was wrong with this girl? she acting all crazy, pulled out the huggies and the wipes, I take a breath... oooooh!she pooped,haha!! she couldn't say it, but she gave me all the clues. I laughed so hard, she was looking so serious. And man was she stinky
I'm sorry Bree

Things are starting to make sense

I had one of those days, that made all the previous days make sense. My wife and I went shopping, didn't see anything I liked, but we walked in the pregnant women store, and she found things that looked really cute on her. Now usually I would've had to make a purchase for myself, a shirt, some shoes or something, but this time was different. I didn't really have a need, I just wanted something, we have been blessed, if I truly want something I could have it. I'm guessing I must have mentioned it to someone,that I wanted some new hoop shoes, prior to father's day. Now fast forward to the other day, talking to a associate, him talking "what happen to the new hoop shoes you wanted?", I made my wife the bad guy, and said she didn't think I needed new hoop shoes at the moment, I lied, It was me that decided I didn't need them. As I walked away, I realized that I could really shine if I wanted to, but that would be prolonging my true goal, which is to have financial freedom. Now I get that there are certain sacrifices to be made in the sight of others, those who only want perceived wealth. I want true wealth, that I can pass on for generations and generations of Mitchell's. In that one thought my entire philosophy made sense to me. When your passive income covers all your bills, and you have money to do the things that make you happy, you are rich. I don't want that nice car that I need to add rims to make it look expensive, I want a really expensive car, that looks expensive because it is expensive, and the company that I own pays for it.

One Shot of Life, Two Shots of Reality

I was sitting here wondering how many blogs had I wrote in my head, before I decided to put it to paper, or in this case Laptop. I had wrote a blog about MTV, and why it has to be the worst channel in the world, yet it has the most influence on a narcissistic generation, who has contributed nothing, but feels entitled to everything. Or the blog about the what is reality TV? it's completely staged, but people can't get enough of it, watching others lives as your life goes by, the best reality TV is sports, its scripted but so many things come in to play, like fatigue, and the fact that the opposing team has a script to stop what you plan to do, interesting huh? I also wrote a blog on being a salesperson, and the level of disappointment thats involved; and know one has a clue; the lies clients tell, what it cost the salesperson, in emotion , time, and money, and the client could give a shit, because they lack the moral tread to understand. Or the blog, about a blog that I wanted to write privately, so know one knew it was me, just to tell the world the truth as I see it, I wanted to let people borrow my eyes for just a little while, but the guilt drove me crazy, it got all the way to the laptop, but was deleted. Or the blog about the conversation I had with a friend, about HD TV and the affect it has on his "couch potatoeness", he mentioned that it was something he had to "get over", the additional 20lbs the TV had caused, I totally related with him. Or the blog about me loving to watch "man vs. wild" and my wife spoiling it for me, when she said "what does the camera people eat?" It was a wrap after that, haven't watched it since. I almost forgot about the blog about "the Jones's"that wonderful family that everyone tries to keep up with, and I remember wondering if we had fell victim to the temptation to live up to the unreal. Also the blog about the car business, how I have such a love/hate relationship with it, the money is great, just can't be at work all the time, I wasn't ready to hang my hat there for the rest of my life. And finally the blog about real estate and how it is such a tough business, it's like playing in the majors of any sport, the work is no joke, that "1 percent" can do it, the effort has to be relentless, I have witnessed many folk fall off; it ain't all glorious, the classes, all the dues you pay; the picture you see from the outside seems so easy, I too was guilty thinking I could just get my license and the dollars would just start rolling in. Wrong!!
