A new year is almost here

November 1st 2010.

Wow.

Can you all believe that there is only one more month left in the year? It seems just like yesterday that I was just toasting to 2010. This year has definitely been a great one with a few minor bumps in the road along the way. Wouldn't be life if you didnt have to endure some kind of trial right?

This year I came to the 1/4 of a century mark of my life. 25. Ive seen a lot, done a lot, but not everything that I wanted to do, but I will continue to improve.

I came to a conclusion about a few things.

1. No matter where you are in life, you can always improve to make yourself better. Eat right, exercising, and surrounding yourself with positive and ambitious people are all ingredients that can be used to improve yourself.

2. There are always people in the would that do not want to see you succeed. You can have all of the education, money, and success in the world and there will still be people trying to take you off track. Might be a stranger or it could be someone close to you. Either way, do not be a victim.

3. Relationships come and go. Lovers, friends, business...etc. It is a part of life. Just have to make sure that you keep only those relationships that are uplifting and not hindering. With that said, if you have friends that are always negative and are doing nothing positive for them selves or their lives, let them go.

4. Twitter and Skype are the new hotness.

5. Facebook is dead to me. After having one since 2004, I have realized that there is nothing more that I can do to it and that people are on it just to be nosy in other people's lives. I rather just meet up with people to have a drink or throw a dinner party.

6. I can deal with those that share different views than my own. What I can not tolerate is an individual whom is not willing to hear another person's views and attempt to see their point of view. We all do not and can not think alike, but we all can be respectful to others opinions.

7. There is nothing else in the world that I would rather do other than cook and write. From here on out, I am going to do everything I can to get my catering business in full swing and do more writing.

8. Virginia is dead as well. There isnt much room for advancement here as far as jobs, so maybe will make a move in the next few years.

So now that it is November everyone gotta get ready for all holidays. Soon I will be able to break out my Motown Christmas music. Yeaaaaa buddy!

I leave you with Steely Dan. Learn about them. Epic.

Peace & Love,
