To let me viewers get to know me better, I have decided to answer 40 random questions. As I continue the Glimpse Into My Life series, I figured it would also be good to give you even more insight into my thoughts and life.
So here we go…

New Year, New Goals…
Dear Readers:
I know I haven’t been staying up-to-date on my blog. A few things in life has changed over the past few months, and it has made it difficult to have a few moments to keep this blog updated.
What’s changed: A new career path. I finally left a job that I didn’t feel appreciated at… or rather… a job that I felt was becoming routine and doing a position that I wasn’t hired to do. I am now working for AT&T. This is a big move, but a very good move, for me. I have always enjoyed electronics, especially mobile electronics, and now I can help customers with theirs.
For this new year, I have decided to make some goals… as I don’t believe in resolutions, I believe in making goals. Below will be a list of goals that I would like to accomplish this year… we will call it… hmmm… let’s say: “The 2014 Bucket” goals list. I’m going to focus on a lot of miner things, as one major goal will be harder to approach. So here it is…
- Exercise. I am currently weighing 204. I want to be around 190-200, with less than 13% body fat. I am around 25-30% body fat now.
- Read. I currently read a lot of tech information online, and I stay up-to-date with politics, however; I don’t get the chance to read many books. I would like to change that this year. I am going to try to shoot for a book every two months (a small goal of 6 books this year, but it gives me a starting point), and also continue reading my tech/politics news too.
- Anger Management. I feel that I can get snappy at times. I do know that I am hard-headed, and I can be stubborn at times… This year I am going to focus on taking a deep breath and find a solution to the problem before freaking out. Over the years, I have gotten better, but I still find myself get angry at times.
- Eating Habits. (this goes with exercise) I need to start eating healthier. I have noticed myself stopping at McDonalds more frequently, and eating unhealthy food sold at the mall. I need to get myself back on fruit/vegetables, and I need to start eating smaller meals throughout the day.
- Thoughts. I feel this goes with Anger Management. I need to start sharing my thoughts on my blog more. This blog allows me to share my opinions and to talk about my life’s events. Sharing is a great way to decrease the stress in your life.
- Lastly… I want to be the man that my future Mrs. deserves. I want to be a man that she can count on and will come through for her.
I will look at these goals again mid-year and at the end of the year. If you have any tricks or tips, or would just like to give some words of encouragement, I would appreciate it
You Are The Reason…
A Glimpse Into My Life… Pt. X
“They say… we learn from mistakes,
That’s why they mistake me.”
I am a true example of a book,
that cannot be read by the cover.
First impressions mean more than you know,
but my first impressions are not what win me over.
It takes time,
Read the pages, the chapters, the lines,
Inhale them like the air you breath,
That is when I win over the minds.
My life consist of many hills,
I’ve climbed so much you’d think,
I would be in the best shape of my life.
But because of my journey,
I’ve been through situations,
That have scared me for life.
I become lonely and bored,
That, at times, I’m not sure why I’m alive,
Never had a suicide thought come to mind,
But my mind has had thoughts of suicide.
Stuck in this World…
No one can hear my screaming and shouting,
I have my fist banging on the wall,
But the noise doesn’t amount to nothing
To get the attention I’m trying to seek
The warnings I’m giving must be weak.
I need to become tough,
How’d I even become this way?
Mind is being challenged,
Can I get out of this place?
At times, I feel my BS is catching up to me,
Maybe I should just tell the truth,
Tell the people how I really am,
Tell the people how I really feel,
Make a blog that spills my guts.
In a World full of fear…,
Truth is what I’d rather live,
Than run from the fear.
Life IS as cracked up as it is to be,
Life full of smiles,
Is a life that will last for miles,
I don’t need to worry about filling up,
Cause when “life” runs out,
That’ll be my time to be called back “up”.
So while I’m still on this planet,
My goal is to not take it for granted…
I’m going to make each step amount,
Make each moment count…
Or what is the point in the first place…
To Be Continued…

All You Need is Love?
I hear this a lot… “All you need is love!”
Is love really THAT powerful that you can get through anything if all you had was it?
I question this a lot. Mainly… because either I have never been truly in love before, or because the other person in the relationship wasn’t really in love; regardless, this has never ever been what was all I needed. To me… love comes and goes. I grew up believing that blood (family/friends) is thicker than water (relationships). That there are lots of fish in the sea… so don’t dwell on just one fish. Same meaning: Dont hold your breath on one aspect of your life… you may never breathe again.
Life is about living… and to me… love sometimes holds you down from living, if that love isn’t genuine. Now… don’t get me wrong. I believe in the theory of love. I believe in what it stands for. But… it seems to never be enough to hold me through the bullshit that relationships (i’m in) go through. And… Yes… there is always bullshit…
I look at my past… and smile about all the beautiful ladies that have been in my life. All the wonderful relationships that were started… and then at all the misery that one went through to get past that relationship… thats right, I said smile. Why? Why not? Every event in my life is an opportunity to learn from it and make it better the next time. So rather I win or lose… it all evens up with me.
The truth? The truth will bite you in the ass when you are looking dead at the picture. The truth doesn’t need to hide… The truth is black and white. And the truth will ALWAYS come out. So if you or her/him doesn’t really love the other… that will become noticed sooner than later… at least… we hope sooner than later.
As I continue life and swim through this ocean… I will continue to take breaths, because the reality is, as much as each of us wants to be loved… someone of us will drown waiting around to long for it…

Climbing the Ladder
Every time my climbing seems to be going great… I roll the dice wrong and shoot down the snake…
Life is about taking chances. Sticking your neck out. Saying things and not holding back. Even if it is a minor setback to your ultimate goals in life… these setbacks can be necessary to get you to your goals in life. Life isn’t easy. Life isn’t going to be an over-hand toss. Its going to be a fast-ball, curve-ball, or knuckle-ball thrown right at your face. You just better hope you are prepared with the right equipment to handle it.
Whatever you do… don’t settle. If you feel, ultimately, that you need to keep “climbing that ladder”… then you must. Only settlement will anger you. Drive you crazy… leave you thinking “what if”. When you met someone that you enjoy being around. That can be with you to reach those goals. Don’t let that person leave on the first pitch. Fight for this person. Be close with this person. Love this person. Cause at the end of the day… its not about how many breaths you take in life… its about the moments in life that takes your breaths away.
