Takin a Glance Behind Before I Put My Best Foot Forward

I was makin my rounds through my favorite blogs while I'm downloadin anime (dunno how I got back into watchin anime o_O) and I wound up at my other blog, readin an old post I made on my birthday. I still wonder how I got out of such a tough situation.

Here's the link to that post.

I feel like time is goin fast, and all that shit that happened on that day is way behind me. I'm not rich, but I'm not in debt (yet). Even though rent is like $200 more than my old place. It's all good though. Not havin to worry about bills is a priceless feeling.

But I want more than that. I'm sittin here typin on a laptop that lags, the tv in my room is like 13 inches, and I bragged about my pool stick bein worth around $100, even though I bought it off Amazon.com for like $20. They knew I was jokin, but I want the damn stick to be worth $120. I want to stare into a 30 inch flatscreen high def tv. I want a faster laptop that can play 3d games without lag. And I don't wanna have to be lookin for a cheaper alternative all the time. Also, would be nice to pay off my damn probation so they can get off my back already...

But what can I do? I can't take what I have now for granted, cause I know it can all be taken away from me. But at the same time, I wanna have a taste at the finer things in life. Like driving a car that won't break down on me. Or gettin a platinum credit card with like a 5% APR because my credit is excellent. Or goin to Destin so I can blow about $2,000 on new suits without worryin about bills. I just wanna have a taste of the rich flavor of total gluttony. That too much to ask for?

Ya know, right when I pull out of a bad situation, America finds itself in one. I just made a comment on Frantik's blog about some of our issues, talkin about our financial crisis and the shit we got goin with Russia. But even though I thought I was gonna end up livin on the streets, I end up in a nice house with two extra rooms, ya know? I think Americans can find stability and security, even though our situation looks grim. I think our new president can lead us to a better future, hell, he's brightened up our country's reputation by his election alone!

For the time being, I'm tryin to save every penny to put towards investment in things like bank CD's and the stock market, while keeping up with my bills and trying to improve my credit score. If everything goes as planned, I'm gonna try to open up a restaurant. I got a freakin all star team lined up already (I can't cook xD). Maybe even start an online business selling CD's and DVD's from all over the world and/or making them available for download in high def. That'll take some good negotiating skills though. Who knows?

If I keep at it, I think I can get a taste of the sweetness of abundance and wealth. I'm hungry for it, but I gotta wait patiently for it, gotta time it just right. You know, when the tiger is hunting for prey, he lies low in hiding before springing into action. I gotta do the same.

Hopefully I won't slip and fall this time.
