Business man? Is it risky business?

Hello my readers! I now have a more mobile way to deliver content straight to your Internet door!

Have any of you ever once in your life thought "hey I wish I could be my own boss!" Then your mind goes berserk with awesome images of you swimming in money and not having a care in the world, and also the power to have people work for you and do your bidding, even though they probably mock you behind your back. It's sad but it's true, the employer to employee is a relationship straight out of a Jerry Springer show. And it's ugly then the crackhead 15 year olds... Well anyway entrepreneurship is a road I would like to travel down.

I always had a part of me say that I should just try to do my own business thing. That part of me never wanted to own a restaurant or some other mediocre thing.. I have to think of a great idea and just start making money.. And it always seed so simple, well that part of me thought.

Recently down at my pizza pit doing my civil duties throwing dough in the air, throwing toppings on a pizza while singing a creed song.. I mean that's normal right? Arms wide open while a pizza in the oven makes it taste 10x better. Well anyways back to the point, my fellow co-worker and great friend is in the teeshirt/sweatshirts making business and when he asked if I wanted to buy one a little wheel in my head started to churn "hey I got a idea!" No it wasn't making shirts with lame puns on them. Or ones with excellent designs like my bud.
This is totally different!! This is my goup de graz. (If that is the correct spelling) I just needed a way to start it. And what is wonderful is that I can start it all by myself.

Okay probably now your thinking "okay this is about you thinking you got the best idea ever, and your just gonna share it?"
No ladies and gentlemen that is just the tip of the glorious iceberg.

This iceberg is called taking a risk. I want to risk maybe failing at it hard, I want to risk getting laughed at, and also I want to risk it to become successful and add a little cash to my pocket.

Lately in this game of life I feel I have not taken as many risks as I should be doing. I only live once!! I'm only 23 once too. I took a risk with love and married the best woman in the world.
Have you ever taken a risk and when everything turned out the way you wanted your brain goes nuts and sends endorphins to your whole body like its going out of style.

Every person that reads this.. I DARE you to do something that is out of the normal routine. Start a new project and show people.. Or do you have great drawings? Go find a art studio and see what they think of it.. Are you gifted in music? Find a sound and share with the world..
Let the world know you exist. I sure do want that. I am taking a risk with this blog. I mean are people going to read this? Will it be successful? Do people really wanna hear what is inside my crazy mind. I sure do hope/believe so!

Starting with my little business. I will start taking risks daily, they can even be very small. Like if someone says that want me to do something. Instead of jumping on the wish. I will just say "ya hold on let me want to do that for you." I'm such a people pleaser that it would take me out of my comfort zone.. I'm not saying to go be rude! You might end up with a broken jaw. But maybe if your not a people pleaser jump on a task that someone asked of you.

I hope you all are pumped with the ideas of taking risks. They can be very rewarding... But also be advised and be smart, doing something stupid to either harm yourself or others is not taking a risk it's called jerkititus. And it will make you look like a idiot.

Please make comments on any risks you take!

Again stay risky and enjoy of moment of life. If your bored you are doing it wrong and need another risk to fullfill that empty time.

Much love!

P.S sorry for the grammar :) I am taking a risk not proof reading it.

Pizza, life, and limited Wifi


Its fun living back in the 90's without internet, you can play games like, stare at the wall, go take a shower, and my favorite, how long can my son not do anything to try and destroy something.. classic.
Im back at a pizza pit. Delivering food to customers, who pretty much treat me and my fellow co-workers as sub-humans and should be classified as such for having a job like this. For now though I dig it, I work with great people, I make good tips. The life of a minimum wage baller is not a hard life for this guy.
It is always nice to get a tip. It makes things better.. but some people think it has to be expected

Example..

Pull up to a lightly lit house. And i knock.. knock like a crackhead needs his fix. Alas someone answers the door. " oh great pizzas here!" some little kid is freaking out having a heart attack saying
Pizza! over and over until maybe he faints of to much excitement and joy of pizza.
Then all of a sudden, a sadness covered her face. "I dont have any money for a tip, im sorry, its hard times"
And that hits me like a pillow for a feathers.. it didn't phase me, I say " its okay ma'am." With the biggest fake smile I ever pulled off. And drive away into the winds..

Its funny that their is always a reason for the no tip, my favorite is the economy.. I wish I could be like " well it seems you have nice things." Just give me one of your items in your house that would be great!" hey is that a x-box with the new halo game? always wanted that!"

But that is life...

Thank you for the read it was small but it will get better!
