All Work and All Play...

Over and Out...

Last Saturday was Game 1 of the World Series. The crew got together as usual to cheer on da White Sox. A hard fought battle it was but the Sox came out on top at the end, 5-3. I had a lot to drink during the game. I didn't make matters any better when I decided to go to my cousin's job that night after the game. My cousin works for the Hilton as security for the bar and restaurant. Two words you only need to know when I go there: OPEN BAR. That pretty much explains the rest of the night. Scummy drunk and happy, not to mention that I have a softball game at 9am. I got home at about 6am. The next time that I saw da clock, it read 9:12am. I was definitely late. This was a problem. A problem because our team had to win the 9am game to play in the 10am game and I wasn't there. I'm rushing up North now, not knowing if my team has won or lost. Luckily when I arrived, I was happy to find out that we won the first game. So I was able to play in the second game. We played the top team in the league. We gave them a good battle but we fell short. The season is over. I had a lot of fun, despite pulling my hamstring. The team is getting together on Thursday to hang out so that will be cool. Since I'm healthy I want to play in a volleyball league but it probably won't happen until January.

Good Work...

I have been working out pretty well. I work on the upper body on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I ran yesterday on the Chicago State track before I went to watch the game. My hamstring feels good. My wind is coming back, and my back is feeling real good. Now if I can more selective about my eating and drinking I'll be okay. With the winter coming up, I will focus more on my workout. I should be where I want to be by the spring.

Speaking of Focus...

I have an interview coming up on Friday with Mid America Bank, and maybe some more interviews in the very near future. For some reason, I am excited. I normally don't get excited for job because I don't like working for people. This is different and I was able to put a finger on it as to my excitement. Unlike the other times that I working jobs, I have a vision. I have distinct focus that only I can feel. I know now what to do with what I get. Kind of a broad statement hunh? I'll explain. I know what to do with my money for example when I get paid. To me, it doesn't matter if I have a job that pays me $30,000 or a job that pays me $90,000. You may think differently. Like duh!!! DO1, it's a $60,000 difference. That is true, in some eyes, not mime. It's what you do with it when you get it. I know now what to do with it. By investing my money into things that will bring me the assets that I long for, by investing into the information that I need to succeed, by investing the time that it takes to reach my goals, will making working exciting. I wouldn't give a shit about the $60,000 difference. I will be a millionaire in five years and IT WILL HAPPEN.

Wake Up...

I was talking to a friend the other day. She brought up school and asked if I had any intentions of going back. I told happily no. She didn't understand. She told that I am very talented and smart and I shouldn't let that go to waste. I told her to not worry because I will not let that happen. Then I went on to explain to her that people need to wake up, including her. This is no longer the Industrial Age, where you go to school and get that supposedly 'secure job' with those bomb benefits. This is the Information Age, where it's all about obtaining information to survive. Work smart, not hard? Information Age. What I realized is that there is so much information out here that can make your dreams come true. So much information that people are begging to give this information out. People are programmed to society and it's sad. The Industrial Age is over. If you want to be rich or wealthy, you will not get it by working for someone else. By you working for someone else, don't you realize that you are making someone else rich or wealthy. Anytime that you buy something to eat or some clothing that you are helping someone else get to where they want to be. Don't you want a piece of that??? I do. I could talk forever about this but I will save it for another post. This is just the beginning. You haven't heard the last of me.

It's Playoff Time...


In Softball News...

Last Sunday, we won a shootout game 17-16. We both went back and forth exchanging the lead until we held it down for good in the last inning. I had three home runs as well. People are asking how am I hitting the ball that far. My first two shots I just put in the gaps, but the third one I crushed like I am 6'5" 250 pounds. "It's all in the swing," I tell people. Also with my hamstring, which is about 85%, my speed also helps. This Sunday we have our first playoff game at 9am. If we win we'll play at 10am. Need to win both to play next week, since this is single elimination. My last tournament was double elimination, even though we didn't lose. I have been recruited by two teams to play with them next season.


In Baseball News...

The White Sox in the World Series!!! Cubs fans must be pissed. Oh well!!! 2003 was their chance and they, as usual, blew it. They are playing the Houston Astros, who I also picked to make the World Series. People picked St. Louis. I don't know why. Houston has better pitching. This will be a better matchup than people think. They both have good pitchers. I fear only Roy Oswalt on their side. He is a beast!!! They both have good clutch hitting. It will be a battle to the finish. When it's all said and done, the White Sox will prevail.

White Sox in six...


A Crime Being Single?...


I had an interesting phone conversation with a friend of mine the other day. I always have interesting conversations. The conversation was cool as usual. Then she started talking about my lovelife.

Friend: "You still single?"

DO1: "Yep!"

Friend: "Why are you still single?"

DO1: " What the f@#*?"

Friend: "I'm just asking."

DO1: "I can't be single?"

Friend: "Are you mad?"

DO1: "No, I'm not mad."


Is it a crime people to be single? I am working on myself, trying to improve myself and my situation. I haven't really clicked with anyone as well. I mean there are some women out there that like me, but I don't feel the same about them. I thought I have covered this single shit already. Correct me if I am wrong people. There are also people out there that I like and they don't feel the same way about me. I can't go around and start putting a gun to people heads, or can I? Sometimes I wish I was in a relationship but I don't sweat it. When it happens, it will happen. In five years when I become a millionaire, I will worry about that then.


Crush Groovy...


Someone asked me about my crushes. Yes, I still have a crush on two female bloggers. Am I going to reveal the two? Nope! It won't be exciting anymore if I revealed the two females now would it. Who you may think it is, may not be the one. Even that I feel truly that one female blogger already knows, but I'm not sure. I may have made it obvious. As for the other one, she has no clue. I will keep her clueless until the time is right. I know people say to me, "Well you always say, 'It is what it is!', so why you can't tell us?" Well it's my crush, not yours. Eventually I will say who my two crushes are, but until then, keep guessing.

The Catch...


We played a doubleheader last Sunday in softball. I told my team in a email that it's time to get a win under our belt, that this is our time to step up. We lost the first game 7-6, but we had played our best game to date. We didn't allow a 7 run inning, which was good. The second game was our breakout game. We won 16-8. Put that on the board!! Yes!! The offense came to life. This was the first week that EVERYONE was there, which usually helps.

My hamstring is getting better. I can run pretty well, but it's still a little difficult to bend down to touch the ground. On Sunday I played short center, basically in between second base and the centerfielder. I was very active and very effective. I made many great plays, misplayed one ball that I took my eyes off of, and almost turned a double play, but the play that everybody will remember is that great catch I made.

It was in the first game when it happened. I was in short center and the ball was hit towards right field. I ran from my position to right field. I had called the female off in right that I had the ball. I thought that I took a good angle to the ball. I stopped and was ready to catch the ball, but there was one problem. The ball kept going and I had already stopped for it. It was now sailing over my head and now I was running for it again. My back was now facing the infield and everybody as I was running, the ball still sailing. By me turning my back to go for the ball, it was very difficult now because I didn't know how far the ball was going. It seemed like it was up there forever. Since now I'm running away from the infield and the ball falling, I stretched my arms out to try to catch it. The ball came down and right into my hands. I caught the ball. It didn't hit me until after the game of what I did. It was the third out of the inning and people were on base, so I'm glad I caught it or they would have scored. My team along with the other team congratulated me on the catch. It was like that Willie Mays catch over the shoulder back in da day. I don't know if I will ever be able to make that catch again, but ya never know.


White Sox, White Sox, Go..........White Sox...


The White Sox won Game 2 of the ALCS versus the Angels on Wednesday night. There has been big talk about what happened in the ninth innng of that game. Pierzynski was batting and he took a third strike in the dirt. When the ball hits the ground on the third strike, the batter can run to first base. Even though it was a strikeout, the catcher has to pick up the ball and throw down to first base. The Angels catcher didnt do this, resulting in Pierzynski getting to first. There was a four minute delay in which the Angels manager came out to argue. The umpires stayed by their call. Joe Crede, the next batter, slams the ball into left field and the White Sox scored the winning run to even the ALCS at 1-1. I personally think that the ball changed directions in the glove and it hit the ground. This could be the turning point of the ALCS but we'll have to wait and see. Go White Sox!!!


Plan In Effect...


If you resd my previous post, then you may know about my plan to become a millionaire in five years. I just want to share a few things in regarding this statement that I made. Some people have encouraged me with this and believed that it could happen. Some are helping me and giving me advice on it. As usual, there are others who believe that I am talking out the side of my neck. Now a lot of people know that I am the type of person who doesn't care about what others think. I have dressed differently, acted differently, thought differently, etc. I am now developing into a person that can focus more on the goals that I set for myself, rather than just let them fall by the waste side. A few have told me that a million dollars is not a lot of money these days. For one, My mission is to be a millionaire, I didn't say anything about being financially free. Secondly, the last time that I checked, a million dollars is a lot of money, to me that is. Now I guess that these people that are telling me this MUST have experienced having a million dollars at one time in their life. They have NOT unless I didn't know about it.


To me, a million dollars is a lot. It is basically what you do with the million dollars that separates you from others. In this day in age, people get more money, and they spend more. You get a pay raise and now you want a big screen TV and home theater system. You buy a bigger house, a more expensive car. I have also learned what a LOT of people don't know is that it doesn't matter if you make $30,000 or you make $300,000, what matters is what you DO with the money. People turn a million dollars into 100 million, and some turn it into $1,000 dollars. It solely depends on the person. I am focused now, not even friends or family can stop me now. Some people don't agree with my plan, but why should I care? People will get left behind in my mission. I can't help it, but it will happen. People are more concerned about me getting a job, with good benefits, job security, and I am more into trying to obtain passive and residual income. I will get a job but I know that I will not be there long. I will concentrate on replacing my income so I can have more time to complete my mission. I know that I will be sacrificing things in the process, but that's okay. I will do what I have to do. I want to open a bar and grill spot in the city and I will because I said so. Period. I will continue to pursue my dream of financial freedom and if you don't like it, tough!

Da Plan...

It Can Happen...


I can't remember exactly what day it was this week(maybe Wednesday or Thursday), I was doing some thangs on the computer after I got off the phone. I had just finished reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad." Whatever day the 28th was I believe. I was surfing through things like I normally do. I had me a lemonade and sunflower seeds on the side. I had da "Late Registration" playin. Typical thangs for DO1. Then all of a freak sudden, something happen. Have you ever been doing something(doesn't matter what it is), maybe you was in your car drivin' or sitting in the park, or out with some friends, and something just hit ya. It hit ya and it makes you stop whatever you was doin'. It's like....Damn!!....and then you get to realize something.


Now I know this has happened to a lot of y'all or most of. It could have been anything. I remember watching Bill Bellamy doin standup on Def Comedy Jam. Where he states: "Do you remember the best sex that you ever had? You just be driving in your car, and you be like "DAYUM!!!" and Bellamy's body was shiverin' and shit." It was kinda like that. I was reading news on CNN's about Hurricane Rita,(family doing fine) and it hit me. I didn't shiver or no shit like that, but I was very alert. I looked around as if there were other people in the room when it was just me. Was I paranoid? Was I trippin? I suddenly thought of Craig in Friday when he was on the couch and the statue dogs were howlin at him. Like they say, things happen for a reason. So I stood up(hamstring gettin' betta), put my lemonade down and walked over to the window. I looked outside, where I can see nature at it's finest, and I said to myself, "Dayum, that hidden track "Late" on da Kayne West CD is tight!!! LOL!!!!


Just Kiddin'!!!!! LOL!!!!


But on a more serious note, I threw my arms on the sides of the window and looked up to da clear blue sky. I said to myself that I will be a millionaire in five years. Maybe I didn't said that clearly I said...


I will be a millionaire in five years!!!!.....


I mean I seen like it, like a 27" Zenith. It was clear as the sky I was looking at. At that very moment, I realized that it was time. I also realized that I was serious. You know sometimes when you say that you are going to do something or set goals or even when you hear people say what there were going to do, but you always question yourself about it, or better yet, doubts. I had no doubts here. Sometimes you re-arrange your goals, maybe you might extend, lengthen them or shorten them. This was one goal that wasn't going that route. I realize at that moment, I must start my mission. I'm just talking about being a millionaire, I'm not even talkin about becoming financially free yet. I have seen rich people, or people with a lot of money, fuck it up. Now they at car washes or selling insurance. People should realize that you don't need money to be rich. Myself, I am a rich person, and I want to make it richer. Once I do that, this new goal of mine should be worth my while.


I have not cared of what people thought of me. A few people tell me that is why they like me a person, a friend. I can do whatever I want, and not give a fuck about what someone else says. I had a conversation with my father on the phone last night. It was the first time in a long time that I dominated a conversation. With his side of the family, shit you never get a chance to talk because they ramble. He was very cautious about what I saying about my newly found goal. I was telling him that job security is no longer there. I hope he doesn't expect help from the government, cause it won't be there.(See Katrina) Pensions are now 401K's. I advise him that people need to wake up. I know that a lot of people have a problem with Bush, even myself, but, and this is hard to say, but there are actually advantages with having Bush in office. I really don't want to go into detail with that but I'll just say this, for the problems that we have in this country, we need to STOP blaming Bush for them. Period. I'm not saying that he is the best president in the world, but we focus so much on what he is doing that we don't look at ourselves.


Back to the subject at hand(I don't like to get political), I will be a millionaire in five years. So basically that means around this time in 2010 , I should have achieved my goal. I know what I need to do to start this mission. I will also learn on the way. Then I think that the most gratifying thing about this will be not that I am a millionaire, but that I want to help others as well. Maybe we can work together to accomplish this. That would be even better, but to let y'all know, I don't plan to stop until I get there, so if that's what you want to do, be prepared to walk that mile with me! Peace!
