Corporate Greed


Someone posted this article below on the meetin web site and i thought it was a really good read. Its about how Costco treats its employees customers and share holders compared to Walmart. Costcos CEO seems like a really good guy. Most of these corporation are all about greed and the profit. They take everything leaving the common person who often does the hard work with nothing why the CEO of these companies rake in millions. The whole thought that you can not get rich with out abusing people is absurd to me. Why does my win have to be someone else loss. I always admired people who worked with there hands, worked hard and put in there time to made millions. usually the guys who makes billions ended up doing so only because they messed someone over. They let greed get to them and take them over. Not everything in life is about money. This is the concept I love most about sites like craig list and MEETin.org.

End result shop at Costco DO NOT SHOP WalMart because profit and greed is not what we want in our communities and some times you have to look out for each other as a community. Open the door for someone so they may open the door for someone else. A wise friend of mine used to always say to me "you do not want to be the richest man in the grave yard" and I agree with him 100%. :-)

Dreams - Just Do it


Its funny when i was a little kid maybe 14 years old I remember I wanted a VCR. They costed so much ( $200 back in 1987 ) but i saved and did it. I was the first person in my family to have one. Then I wanted a car worked hard and got it. Then I wanted to buy a home and after allot of hard work I did it. Then I wanted to teach my self how to program and build web sites so I could earn a good living. I just did it. I wanted to meet some new friends in the DC area and well let just say i did that too:-) Then I wanted to get into real estate more and well I did it. recently I wanted to buy a building to open a cafe a dream I have had for many years since I worked as a buss boy in a restaurant as a kid at age 14. With a little hard work, saving , planning and bargaining I did it.

What it all comes down to is if you set your mind to what you want its not hard to do it. No one can hold you back from your dreams. We all can do what ever it is we want to. Our dreams are only beginning. But doing it is the finish. If you have a dream to do something write it down on paper. Come up with a plan on how you plan to get there. Then JUST DO IT!!. Its not hard to do in fact its very easy. Anything we can image we can do. Just start figuring out where you want to go and get going :-)

4th of July Fun


Had a really good 4th of July. Had about 15 peeps over to my place for a nice small get together. We had so much good food it was not even funny. I think way to much. But it was oh so yummy. The high light of the day was everyone just hangin out on my front porch drinking a beer eating some great food talking and smoking a cigar. Lots of fun.

Then I headed over to my boys Brandon and Candice's house for a small while. Brought my swim trunks in case peeps were in the pool but when i got there they were just starting on the food part and I was so stuff from my bbq. No one was in the pool and everyone was looking to play some games. So got to say hi real fast and decided to join some other friends in down town DC to watch the fireworks from a roof top get together. We started off with some bubbly and I got to meet some peeps i did not know that were really nice. Ended up being a great fireworks display and then we all hung out in my friends place and chilled out afterworlds eating some awesome raspberry cup cakes and waited for the traffic to die down some.

ITS WAS A GREAT 4TH OF JULY :-)
