Marriage? What?


So the topic that usually comes up around here with my circle of friends is girls! I feel like it is a constant BATTLE! Everyday brings new challenges and an older age. This just makes it all the more inspiring. Now I'm just like every other Mormon Boy just trying to find some sweet girl that makes me happy. But more importantly I'm trying to find a girl that I want to date that reciprocates the same feelings. Meaning, she wants to date me? I by no means want to get married any time soon. Why?, well because I want to date. I want to find a girl that wants to go have fun with me and that I can treat with the respect that she deserves. It is fun! Having someone with you and to go play with. I don't want just some girl... I want my best friend that goes and does the same things I like to do. What those things are I don't know? haha But I'm sure she'll figure it out. I think that is why I have such a hard time with Eharmony and those online sites. They ask to many questions. No action is taken! A quote that I remember hearing says that the best way to get to know someone is to do one hour of service with them. I don't think girls know, and if they are reading this they can take note, but I watch. When I go do things with girls I check to see how they react to service or to anything. Not to judge their reaction; but to see if I like the reaction they give or that it corresponds to mine. I don't want miss prissy I don't want to cause I'll break a nail. I also don't want the girl that just does service cause they have to. That's boring! I want the girl who says, "Now here is an opportunity for me to do service and impress Davey!" Just kidding. I hope she wouldn't say that. Well maybe just a little. I hope that she would do it for fun and for charity... and with a big smile! Yes, I believe in that. So what does that mean for me. It means I need to do the same. And I try. No reason for me to have expectations in someone if I don't expect it from myself. My mom and I were talking the other day and I was telling her of a girl that I couldn't really see myself with because she was,well, a little back behind me. My mother said that I could help her if we were together. I said that I couldn't because I committed to myself to have a girl walk beside me and not behind me. Let me say that again- I want a girl to walk beside me not behind me. Not to be mean but who knows how long I would have to drag her. That's not fun. Plus I don't have the patience. I am trying, but a relationship is hard enough without added pressures. That is the same reason I don't date girls past me; or as commonly said, "out of my league." Now I've been working to get in that league. But I realized that I really like the league I'm in. So I'll just grab a girl that's in my league and we can move into the other league together. It will give us something to work on! The hardest part about this whole dating thing is meeting the girl. The right place the right time. I'm in a town filled with single girls and yet I can't find them. I think I need a new circle of friends so I can get introduced to somebody? I think going back to school in January will help too. So with that my journey continues to unfold....

What's in a Job?


So let me give the update that all want to know...I am still trying to get things going for my company. It is still on the burner just simmering until I can get myself on track with everything else. I just took a part time position with a temp agency until I find something better. It is a general labor job, which I love. Especially since it is getting cold. Because working in the heat is not fun! I also went over to UVU to start the process of getting classes this January. This will make me and my family happy to get my schooling done. Sometimes, I think, people worry that I don't take it seriously enough to finish my education. That is far from true. My education has been very important for me. Just the process has been different than the traditional some might say.

My Company has definitely taken a bad toll lately. With my funding gone it has caused me to find a new direction of forming my business. I have had a little success and a few clients roll through. The hardest is to market my services without proper funding. Some have asked why I haven't gone back to my old job. Well I wish it was that simple. I didn't burn any bridges when I left but that doesn't mean I didn't start a few fires on them. If I go back I may not get my job. They usually fill those things when you leave. So I would be sent back under someone that I did not work well with and might also receive a smaller wage. Another effect would be my partnership with them. I would not be able to solicit services if I was reemployed again. So what that means is that I need to get a different job that is closely similar or just try to make it to the end of the year until I can get back in school. At least I can say that I started from rock bottom! I may be poor financially, but I'm more than rich with ideas right now.

My mother has convinced me to write a book about marketing. I can either publish for a book or put it online to sell. I've started breaking it down and writing some parts but it will take me a few weeks to get something like this done. And that is basically where I'm at right now.
