My visions have been made quite clear now that my mind has become more focused. There are still a lot of things I need to work on but, even still, I am a ton times better than I was a few months ago. A loud mind, depression, anxiety, etc cluttered my mind -- making my future look bleak. Today I see a new light; I feel a new drive to make a difference or impact, not just for myself, but for others around me in a positive way.

         I've been working on a book for the past four years which is going to come to a conclusion real soon. it will be published before the turn of the next year; I see good things coming out of the publishing of my book because there's information written on its pages others can relate too. The book is about me living paycheck to paycheck and why I believe I'm living this financial dilemma -- the squandering of my money, the wasting of time, the poor decisions, and the apathy I've had in the past; as well as the complicated internal struggles that have hindered not just my financial success but, also with my success and happiness in relationships, my spiritual life, and my physical well being. This is a book, or memoir if you will, that is meant for the folks like me, that are smart but have a hard time putting together the pieces to make their lives rich with the knowledge of making life for them (us) a more, all around, successful and happy one to live. I've written my first book in a way that exemplifies the way I'm living presently.  All the successes and failures will be shown in the text -- I had some failures while writing it and I kept those failures unedited so people who can relate to my story (parts of my story) will see how I moved on, and how I am learning from those failure(s) -- completing this book despite the apparent struggle(s) (the title will be revealed when I'm done editing and the book is published).

          I'm finding ways of making more money online as well as maintaining a social network of friends without charges being applied -- no one pays to be my online friend and vice verse. This site that you've visited, entitled, Compuraderie", is my first website that I have full control over. Of course I have to pay for renting the site space every month but, it IS my website and I have high hopes for it. I'm in the process of turning it into a really cool social network; I am also eager to see what kinds of successes I will see "Compuraderie" attain through time -- filled with hard work and perseverance making this site more user friendly.

           I'm keeping things positive yet realistic these days. We will see if I'm successful with these projects I aim to successfully publish and introduce to you; it's not easy to reach people these days -- even on the internet -- so I have my challenges and obstacles but, even if I do fail and all my hard work appeared to be in vain -- at least I did it and had faith -- NO MORE QUITTING.

           And that's all that matters...
