How much is that issue worth?
I really, really love comics. Most people I know don't love them in the same way I do. Actually, most people I know and have heard from think that comics are just little toys for little kids. Worse yet, since they think as them as expensive toys that you have to READ it makes them lousy gifts!
At this point you can always go into what make comics good or bad, are they worth the money?
My little nugget of passion goes down to one thing that I used to do as a kid and once I learned how to do it, never stopped: Living out all the adventures I know I can never live out here in this sad world.
I don't want to sound deprressing, neither do I want to paint this as escapisim. Turn it around and imagine the moon! Do you want to go there? I do. Any kid will too! Why? Because its a human part about us that like to explore! Love to see new things.
Heard of Pokemon? Why is it so addicting? I'll tell you why. You as a kid get to explore, and meet many wondrous creatures that you know are out there somewhere! A kid can't go out exploring without consequences in this world, is that bad? No, but they still want to go run around doing all these great things, living great adventures!
I do too!
Comics offer a "safe" way to go to the moon, meet magical creatures, fight the good fight, and more than anything, discover another world full of friends that always welcome you. Anything can happen in a comic book! No budgets like in the movies, no one saying "you can't have this, its not real", no one saying "no one will believe this"! Remember, ANYTHING is real simply because it can! If you read comics, you know that there are worlds that although fantastical always feel real.
Wouldn't you like to explore the savage land? Don't get that mention? Then re-phrase it into Jurassic Park. Would you like to go there and explore? How about Skypea? Meet rubber pirates with hearts of gold, find atlantis with its cocky prince? What is the 30th century and who are its super heroes? Did you know they even got to know about Superman?
If you do, pick up a comic. Its the one thing that everyone can share. It sure beats our children sharing drugs, violence, sex. You don't need any of those vices when you have something as great as comics. Wouldn't that make our new generations all the better for it?
All of it because Spidey was having a bad day...
But guess what?
It's a Brand New Day!

Frustation Negotiation
Things are by no means bad in my life. Mostly its just frustations in the common things in my life that really get me going sometimes. As for my day job, things are told to me in pieces and I am expected to do what I can with that information and as the days pass my boss beleives that she already gave me the "complete" version of everything and since I am lost on the next step its because I have not been doing things properly.
Nothing could be further from the trugth! It was like this from the beggining but it really stuck since about two years ago I made a mistake that I didn't write down all the details I should have and since then she beleives its always that one thing I do wrong and must be only that that is wrong. Never ANY other little detail.
Ugh!
I have so many dreams to fulfill but with all the overwhelming work been sent my way its really just bogging me down and not allowing me to grow or fulfill my niche skills.
What am I saying, it doesn't really matter, just needed to steam some piece of me here and needed that space only a blog would allow me. Sorry but as far as I can see, nobody has seen this blog and thats ok. I think because no one is watching and this is kinda like saying what you want to say into the world without any bad vibes been sent back I will continue to blog more and more.
But for the most part if the time comes to kick me out, well screw it, just let me know obviously...

4life Research and training
I no longer hear about DREAMS. The last one I heard was when I was in high school and maybe a few the year after. No longer "I dream of doing... My biggest dream... By then my dream will be complete..." The closest thing I get to that where I used to work is "I hope that when I die my kids don't inherit my debt..."
The best job I had to take care of my family was in the whole customer service where they call you to ask about bill information and or tech support. I am trying to be vague simply because I hated this place so bad I would rant on the way its run and its core practices to no end and without much purpose. Much better to start the main course I would say.
I started in Network Marketing years before. I was way below the legal age to do so but I followed my mother into those business to help her and try and get something out of it. When I was young I did not succeed and as I got older I kept trying different ones to get a better fix on things.
Some got me enough to be happy at that age, others not so much.
Jumping ahead many sad and pathetic details I ended up joining my mother in an office for her in her latest endeavor. In this job I could at least spare myself the stress of been under someone's thumb therefore, have more flexibility.
With time I took hold of the products offered in this company and found their greatness in my own personal use. From there, I saw many older ladies getting their income solely from this. My interest was peaked when I realized what you needed to do in this company to make it your only source of income and be happy about it.
4life Research is a company based upon a product that boost your immune system unlike anything else in the market. Nothing can compare and seen as how nobody in over 50 years cared for it because they didn't know how to market it, 4life bought the patent.
Run by two people who had their experience on the Network Marketing made this product into just that, a Networking Business model. Everyone can join such company and doing it right can mean a way to survive in this economic climate.
From there the one thing that no other company I had ever tried ever, ever had: a training program! In 4life the people who have already succeed made a system of work named International Networkers Team. However, mostly done in spanish. I know there are some things been done in English, at least I think so.
But at this point in which I have finally succeeded in making quite a bit of progress in it and have become 100% relied on it. So naturally I want to be able to lead properly in a new market. In english now.
All in all, I just wanted to know your opinion on how make firstly a video presentation to promote and help my newcomers. What kind of equipment do I need to do so? Anybody out there working in a similar project? I am considering doing a straight presentation but is there more out there to do? Its a big world and loads more ideas to know then just my own...
There is much to discuss...

To see the world…
Ever since I can remember as a child I've been looking at a world blurred by a wash of paints and sudden faded sparks of lights.
Squinting, my eyes adjusted. Deciphering images that sounded familiar against new backdrops and elated sensations I didn't understand. I was by no means blind or close to it. I retained my close/near-sightness (on this I err for I now not what to call a person who can see fine when things are near to them but not far away). Even so, the world further than half my arm's length was always a mystery that I beheld with bated breath. I never knew when something was about to hit me or surprise me. This helped create my sudden burst of jerkiness from loud sounds or quick motions around my environment. My family called me a stuck up kid cause I wouldn't like people swinging things by me. To me, depth-perception was a word I quickly began to hate.
It was years of hearing my parents speak to me as an ingrate because I would make a circus of reading or doing something from afar. I told them I couldn't see what they talked about. Eventually getting close to the object I could decipher their orders. Therefore they called me selfish 'cause I had "my way" with things.
Towards the middle of Middle School a nurse became fed up with teachers sending me to check my eyes and she cut a deal with me. Get my parents to sign a paper saying I could get glasses and she would get me a pair. My parents denial of the problem and subsequent denial of their signature led me to practice the somewhat useful skill of faking signatures that looked admittedly picture perfect. Handing over my permission slip the nurse replied with a thick gray mammoths she named "my first pair of many" glasses. My love with the arts began here.
My head ached beyond any pains I had with my sinus and I contested by wearing them ever more often. Soon I realized they were not my exact size for my head or my eyesight. I overlooked those minor issues in lewd of the benefits that came with the headaches…. An uncontested look at the world beyond my hands!
I finally found out why the boys in my class stared at the girls, the pretty teachers, and to me, the board! Did you know teachers, when fed up, write the answers on the board? I had been a sucker for so long! Tv was even more enjoyable now too. Thank God for that! Video games all the easier, hey I could play without covering the screen for once.
But alas, I am out of time and need to conclude this. I enjoyed my glasses for been the heaven sent they were to my life. As time passed however, like most things, the glasses lost their luster and too many drawbacks held me back on them. Too many little things, I couldn't swim without my glasses, and now with kids I couldn't take my eyes off of them so there I was stuck between I world I could see and take care of my kids, or a world with limited view upon which my kids wanted to have fun but I was too scared to let them have it since I didn't have complete control to keep them safe.
I could keep on going but the point is that today I am going to have my eyes fixed! Many things have happened as of late but this would be it for me! One of my all time dreams is to be able to see. By myself. Not through the looking glass…
I pray everything goes well even if there is no likely-hood of anything to the contrary, still I just wanted to share my thoughts with the void of the internet. There is many of you out there, be good to each other.
After all one of two things is going to happen… either I get to see the world for the first time through unfiltered eyes, or this is the last I see of all of you. If that were the case I wanted to see to it that I at least wished you all well…

So behind and more to come…
Not much gets done these days without been criticized. As I was watching SNL this weekend I was laughing out loud and having a blast with Shy Ronnie and Tiger Woods thinking how great those skits were. The next morning I find that the media is against that Tiger Woods sketch because it was "poor taste" and Rhianna was in the show. Hmm. Let's think about that for a second.
We are a culture of political correctness and as much as it infuriates me I can understand that majority rules. Nothing is beyond taking care of our brothers and sisters next to us by been humane to each other (obviously humans at war doesn't count because governments need to make a buck or two and taxes just ain't cutting it no more). However why take it out on the one place that offers a laugh at our society by making fun of it? And for what did they get in trouble? For mocking social-pop culture and its incidents. OOOOOOkkkkk ? So some jokes are ok and some are not? Why? When is a joke NOT a joke?
A good sense of humor is needed when watching SNL (although to many in the web I have seen a great disdain towards SNL because of what they claim to be a lack of humor). I am not saying you must watch it and enjoy it if you wish or not. Simple as that. Don't like that jokes? Don't bother tuning in.
This goes for stand up quite greatly. I love Fluffy, Dane Cook, and Ron White. I really don't like George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, or Larry the Cable Guy. I simply think that some have great material and some don't. What is wrong with my opinion? Nothing! It's just an opinion.
If a joke is said to be funny at the expense of others… well be careful they don't strike back in case they don't have a sense of humor. That is a sound principle. But if I watch a show that its hook is to make fun of situations out of headlines and real life then you take it for what it is: A JOKE!
Either laugh or let me laugh in peace. Leave SNL out of your little loop if you must but cmon , take a joke.

I thought I care...
My business with 4life is growing but my family is growing faster... However no other job or carreer offers what 4life offers and probably never will. I gotta stick to this and I urge anyone out there that if you need help outta the gutter and you've tried everything, then try 4life. Go to 6355987.my4life.com. This website is for you to know more of the company and most importantly to sign up with me. I can help you get a better future with this company but only you have to be willing to work the right way. No cheating, no stealing, no lying. I thank God I found a company like this you know. Everywhere I worked was the opposite: customer might always be right but they don't know the half of it....
Take care till next time.
