I've been studying a lot of Dave Ramsey, lately. So far he has me absolutely convinced that a person can ride in comfort and style, without having to commit to a car payment every month..
This morning I stumbled upon this article.. 10 Best Used Cars Under $8000, on KBB.com.. So far I'm really liking the Mazda, the Civic, and the Prius.. I'm not sure when I'll be in the market for a new car, but, In the very least, now I know how much to save up when I do start looking..
I've always wanted to learn how to draw. I had a thought a while back that learning how to draw would be a good way to tap into some "creative-energy-reserve" whenever the tank was running low. Anyway, early last year I decided to enroll in a free art class given at the local library..
I entered the classroom and the first thing I noticed was that, although it was bright and sunny outside.. the classroom was noticeably dim.. it wouldn't be a stretch to say it seemed as though the room was being lit by some sort of 13th century wooden chandelier. There was low and soothing classical music playing at just the right volume.
As I took in the ambiance, I was instructed to take a piece of printer paper off one of the strategically placed piles on tables around the room and.. Draw Something..
Anyway, that was the day I met Karen. Since then she has been a great source of inspiration in my life.. encouraging me to draw and giving me the confidence to start my first blog.. This blog. On that note I would like to dedicate the drawing above, my first published drawing, to my friend Karen. The drawing, in case you were wondering, is of a Kim Kardashian photo that was also the inspiration behind something that Karen posted the other day on her blog.
Had a crazy thought today.. Would anybody tune-in and watch a reality show about.. none other than yours truly??? I told you it was "crazy".. Anyway, this came to me, today on my way back from Atlanta.. Ok, so the show is about me, an aspiring entrepreneur, working hard to make a better life for himself and have a positive impact on his environment..
So our main character, Pesh, is going through a transition in his life.. he has recently had an epiphany that has impacted every aspect of his life. As he learns more about himself, and his place in the world, the more he wants to have a positive impact on everything he touches.
When the show opens, Pesh tries to convince a pair of musician/creatives, who operate a music studio in Atlanta, to help him start a blog where he will attempt to "right" several of his past "wrongs" that he feels may be stopping him from reaching his true potential, as a person, but more importantly.. as an entrepreneur.
Each episode will show Pesh, and his two friends, as they beg, borrow, and deal, trying to make a living as entrepreneur/musicians, in Atlanta.
Each episode will also detail an event of Pesh's life where he attempts to "right" something from the past.. The audience will watch as he attempts to reconcile his relationships with: his first girlfriend, former fiance, and someone he wrote a horrible song about.. Another female was a former-friend-turned-rebound-chick.. One chick was a one-night-stand.. One was a threesome.. One was a "jumpoff".. Then there was the nympho-maniac.. The married chick.. The other married chick.. The one who wrote him from prison.. The one who took his virginity.. The one he stole.. back, from his best friend.. The former stripper.. and in the season finale.. His ex-wife..
So what do you think.. Would anybody watch a show like that?
I was thinking about an old friend today. Somehow she found me on goodreads.com, the other day, and since then we've exchanged a few messages.. You know, the usual, hey what's up? how you been? yada, yada. Anyway, today I found myself thinking about her while I was on ebay, shopping for a new camera.
Looking at cameras reminded me of how much Kayla used to be into photography. Some of the pictures she used to send me.. I remember one of her wearing a football jersey and a pair of boxing gloves.. and not much else... Damn, that had to be ten years ago, she sent those pics and the memory of them still gives me a chub to this day... Although, somehow I doubt looking at the actual pictures would have the same effect.. I mean a half-nekkid-beautiful-girl, otherwise known as an HNBG, is good to look at anytime.. I mean, seriously, the more the better.. Only problem is that things are different now, than they were ten years ago..
See back in the day.. nudity was scarce.. it was hidden.. it was taboo and edgy.. I can picture myself opening that email and feeling like I was a certified P.I.M.P., only problem while my mind pictured me pimpin' like Goldie, I was actually looking more like DeeJay from Hustle and Flow.. Anyway, now-a-days I get eye-raped at least six times before I finish my coffee. Somehow, it seems difficult for me to imagine a beautiful Puerto Rican mami wearing a football jersey and boxing gloves would have much effect when I have access to every celebrity vagina in the world, no further than my iPhone.
If I were to receive that email today you can bet that I wouldn't even see the beauty of it.. I'd spend more time trying to figure out what the f#%k football had to do with boxing gloves than looking what was really important..
