Wow. I was feeling totally down today, then the last hour happened:
- I passed my background check for the 1 bd place I’m hoping to get (not that I was worried…but still)
- All my Plan B clients received very valuable leads from our services today (great since some are on free trials!)
Now, it’s bad that my mood is so tied to my business. But right now my business is my only chance at getting out of this mess in a timely, like before I’m 50, fashion.
Darn Harry Potter
I finished the 7th Harry Potter book last night (lent from a brother). It was great, but it made me very sad. See when I was having a pretty rough time in life (more rough than my time right now even) I discovered the Harry Potter books. They were a huge comfort to me. I know it sounds silly, being a 18 male and finding comfort in a children’s book, but when your life sucks any healthy escape is like a water to someone dying of thirst. When I was super depressed, the 1st movie was just coming out. I bought tickets a month ahead of time and I crap you not, just looking forward to that movie kept me going during that time in my life. I’ll always have a tender spot in my life for those silly books because of the power they had to wisk me away when I was so down.
So anyway, finishing the last one last night was odd. It made me feel vulnerable and lonely and sad….like I felt at 18.
I think I snapped out of it now after the above great things happening, but I still feel odd. The power of the written word….amazing!

I liked the book and the series, I just wonder if she kind of gave in to her emotion with the character by ending it the way she did.
you should read narnia too… of course, it probably takes the same time to read that entire series as it does one harry potter book.
Do yourself a favor: stop messing around with your business and go get a job. It’s time that you take your medicine from ‘the man’. And without a steady, reliable source of income, anybody that rents to you is asking for trouble. Face facts–you are a high risk tenant. Would you rent to someone like you??
‘Expecto Petronum’, debt go away!! Darn, didn’t work.

Go to this site and watch the video. It was removed from YouTube at TheStreet’s request. Why? Because it embarrasingly shows the fraudulent attitudes that plagued the real estate market, which fed the frenzy to buy, regardless of an individuals ability to pay. Ability to pay a mortgage debt means you actually DO IT. Getting a loan during this period had nothing to do with the ABILITY to pay. Understand?

Maybe DK would be better off not to be a 9-5′er. He seems to be making a go of his biz, and obviously he does not mind taking risks. He might eventually create jobs and provide much more social benifit. His company is in the black. But perhaps there should be some objective criteria to decide when he should throw in the towel. I would not want to work 80 hours a week for a job that pays only $2000 a month for more than six months or a year.
I shed a tear or two after I finished no. 7. I felt like a phase in my life was ending. I grew up with those books (I’m fairly young, don’t tell anyone!) and the development of the characters in the book felt like mine.
When I was done, I felt like I had to make a choice. I had to grow up. I had to face my life. That’s what affected me so emotionally.
