4/29/18 we're going to own this, we won't let tomorrow or this challenge in general defeat us, we are going to prove it to everybody. this is not the end; this is only the beginning I want to give up, I say I'll never do this college thing again, I complain/complain/complain about my life's situation, and I simply don't want to move forward but we can't have this, we can't allow this. this is my life, we only get to do it once. your life's circumstances do not define you, what defines you comes from within. it's not about your degrees, money in your bank account, or other certificates and achievements. it's about what you do, it's about how much heart and courage you have to do the things that you get done tomorrow is the challenge, these past 5 years have been the challenge, life is a challenge. we will defeat this, together you don't need the motivational videos, you don't need mom or dad's help, you just have to get u...

4/23/18 it's time, it's time, I say again, it's time I can't keep playing around the people seem unhappy, there's little money around here and barely any reason to stop by this particular destination on the map. everyone that comes here (my experience of meeting people with more money from the north and those out of state or from other countries) sees this place as just not somewhere they'd want to reside in and I honestly can't blame them. there's no energy here, there's so much nonsense and small crimes occurring on a regular basis, there's very little to do and not much money around here. I want to change this, I see the potential in everything and man; I have the energy within I know I do. I can feel it inside that with the opportunity I would bring that warmth and appreciation that people need to feel more comfortable and together we would change this place. you don't see people doing pranks for YouTube around here; you're ris...

4/16/18 Monday's :P I still have so much growing up to do but hey, we're living life. hopefully gonna make this a great week and get some stuff done. 4/17/18 Fun Fun Fun, my goodness this week is already just being that typically kind of week for this semester this internship experience 😌 I just can't wait to be done with this college crap; it hasn't been fun honestly very soon I'll hopefully be working, paying back my debts, and probably still single yay! 5 years to get a degree as I've said before man... we only get one life people aren't going to consider others, especially not those facing difficult times who aren't happy with their lives... they tend to make others unhappy... they lose perspective I never want to be that kind of person. I love helping people and seeing others win welp... time to do homework as usual then hopefully I'll get to finish my videos or work on my business 4/18/18 Mom's bday at the start of th...

4/14/2018 Cars & Coffee was great, I always enjoy this show but I certainly cannot wait to travel and visit a show elsewhere. It's really sad in my opinion to see such a heavy police presence at our show however, we hardly have a car community as it is so why push people down. If you don't know anything about C&C basically all you need to know is that it's an international type of thing where car enthusiasts can gather and enjoy their cars. Just youTube search, Cars and coffee dallas, houston, miami, or california and you'll get a glimpse of what a "good" show looks like. Burnouts, accelerations, and maybe some revving is in my opinion mandatory at these shows but as of course, the overly sensitive population does not care for this stuff and according to the law, some of it is illegal. Long story short, our show barely appears on the internet as it's honestly lame, we rarely get any supercars such as Lamborghini's or Ferrari's to appear a...

4/8/2018 there are no breaks in life - rule #1 if you're not working, someone else is just because you have goals, you have plans to do something most likely, someone else has those same goals and plans while you're "chilling," that someone else is likely working as much as I want a break right now, no; time to work been "working" all day but we have to keep going work hard to play hard do what you have to do to be able to do what you want to do time for coffee then it's back to work for the project for h350 I then need to study for h374 and h350 hopefully I'll get to work on the business today :P

4/1/2018 it's Easter Sunday, a good Sunday but I have to study for that test tomorrow so here's what I'm gonna do for today's post here's everything I know and what I'm getting involved with regarding this business: content creation digital products content videos on YouTube photos marketing & remarketing social media email digital facebook google AdWords affiliate marketing network marketing services teaching webinars courses freelance work Fiverr etc consulting e-commerce dropshipping Shopify or my own website Amazon FBA reselling & arbitrage that's my line of work, I eventually want to have all of these incorporated into my business and be profiting from them. for now I'm profiting only from online surveys, my typical part time job, services (stringing rackets and hitting as a hitting partner), and on occasions I teach tennis. In the summer I will have a 9-5 Monday through Friday teaching ...

3/27/2018 it's that kind of day, I need it. Nissan GT-R R35 seeing this car is motivation for me, so motivating :P it's already turning out to be one of those days so I need to flip the day over and get some things done. Keep Moving Forward

3/21/2018 times like this I really can't wait to be where I wanna be. this environment I'm in, the people I have to deal with, life in general is just not reflective of me and what I want it to be. It's snowing out, the roads are honestly bad, not only do I live pretty far from campus but there are potentially thousands of other students that also don't live on campus yet VCU decides to remain open leaving the discretion up to us. they basically tell us to make our best judgement as to whether to travel to our classes that we're paying so much for/can't afford to miss. The professors? they most often, or at least all of mine, have the mindsets of people living before the 21st century. to say that "if the school is open then class continues" thereby meaning that by not coming to class you fall behind simply has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Last time I checked this is 2018, we have the internet... basically we don't have to b...

3/16/2018 man, so many responsibilities. life is a hassle. all revolving around money of course: bills, places to be, things to get done; it never ends. I'll honestly be so happy to be done with college. a major goal of mine once I graduate is to of course find a decent job or to be making enough money to live comfortably and to then get my own place. I definitely need my own space; idc how I do it whether I have to find a roommate or whatever I just have to go. I need my own space and I need time to myself away from all this nonsense. I believe that I myself and very optimistic, I love life and enjoy the simple things in life, and have very big aspirations in life. I literally see myself going on vacation to somewhere with mountains to just enjoy the view, enjoy nature, and definitely get away from all this online media drama. just remember guys, always remain humble, always remain positive. life is never predictable, you just don't know what's gonna happen next. ...

3/15/2018 alright guys, I didn't start my website last night but today is my day. today is a new day. today is a great day. I'm feeling motivated, I'm feeling inspired, I'm gonna go get it. I'm about to leave now for my internship. I don't feel like going but I'm gonna get some food, do whatever I need to do to wake myself up, and kill it (figuratively of course). I'm gonna make today a good day. there will hopefully be a second post this evening if I can. until then

3/11/2018 welp, spring break is officially over. today's my last day of fun although I really have to work on my project now for my nutrition class as no one else has stepped up to lead the group. I'm so tired though guys, I may have to go out and do something active today. I really want to put a lot of effort towards my group project, possibly upload a video to my YouTube channel or at least go out and film, and work on my business today. it's a windy and cold day here in rva and I don't just want to do as I normally do and stay in and get nothing done. sadly we've already lost an hour with this ridiculous time change. I now understand a bit more of what it is that I want to have as an integral part of my online business; my marketing business. as a marketer I want to help businesses succeed, if you're a tennis coach and you need more students to give lessons to, if you're a shirt company and you just want to build a bigger audience, or if you're ...

3/9/2018 alright guys, another great day. it's Friday, sadly I'm starting the blog rather late which means many of you won't be able to see it in time but I will try my best to finish this quickly. my posts are normally completed later in the day than now but I'm going to try to post earlier for you guys for now on. idk about you guys but I sometimes like being busy. it gets me going and forces me to be energetic and motivated which I guess for me is a bit easier since the normal things I have on my schedule I don't mind. worked a bit x 2 doing fun stuff, then handled my school stuff, lost my car for a bit then got it back all good and new and now I'm home relaxing and "working." I'm gonna try to upload a video for you guys tonight then hopefully do some more filming next week. I really want to pursue this more heavily but we'll see how life goes. here's a little motivation guys, if you need it: you have to believe in yourself i...

3/7/2018 welp, another long day at the internship, but we made it. I managed to pull off 15 hours exactly for this week, 3 hours then 2 hours then 10 full hours today. thankfully this means I'm not only about 35 hours behind where I need to be but my plan is to essentially force myself into finishing this internship quickly. I thankfully was able to speak with the marketing director for the club today and that for sure benefited me on my journey. I feel so noobish and weak when speaking to people who are happy and successful in life, I feel as if I'm so far behind, which I am. as I always mention, I don't live with any regrets nor am I truly unhappy but I am unhappy with where I am and with my current situation, I want more in life. this unhappiness and desire for more only motivates me to keep working harder. I keep being reminded of my age and to remember to enjoy life but honestly I don't want to do anything other than work right now. and this feeling honestly ...

3/6/2018 we just hit 2000 total blog views as of 3/5 - 3/6 2018 counted before this post was published of course. thank you guys so much. I started this blog for me to be able to keep track of my progress and how I use my time as I'm "working so hard" now for my goals. it has been a very interesting journey thus far and by using this platform I have learned a lot. unfortunately guys, my time is frequently being misused, or at least, I'm not spending enough time doing what I really want/need to be doing. I have wanted to order this darn camera for a few days now, I have wanted to get back to working towards my Google Ads certification, I wanted to start my project for my nutrition class. but my damn internship; I spent 3 hours there on Monday and 2 hours there today. I need to be spending at least 15 hours there a week, I don't want to be there every single day. I'd much rather spend a good amount of time there per day to be there for maybe 2 days, 3 da...

3/5/2018 ugh, this internship experience, college in general, sucks. my supervisor is human of course, so even he will sometimes be too busy to reply to text messages, but this completely through off my day. well, kinda. I didn't want to and honestly didn't fully plan to do things as I wanted to but long story short I spent only about 3 hours there today despite my intentions to spend a good 5-10 hours there. oh well as much as I want to go out and film something it's just so chilly here in my area. instead I'm gonna work here from home and possibly play some video games. I'm feeling great and motivated it just sucks that things are the way that they are right now but honestly, it's motivation for me to work harder. I have to work harder if I wanna get out of this situation. ugh, this weather is also bothering my immune system a bit. I've been waking up with cold like symptoms pretty much every day but I'm pretty sure I am not sick, yet. sooo... I...

3/4/2018 another good Sunday, boy oh boy am I getting old lol well I'm officially on my "break" and to be honest this week needs to be worse than normal. I really need to just spend my entire life over at my internship to catch up on my hours especially considering my goal of finishing my hours before it gets too close to the end of the semester. I also need to catch up and make progress with my other classes while I have time. I have a major project in my nutrition class that I plan to make progress with and honestly finish before going back to classes next week. Thankfully it's still Sunday, in fact... coffee time (I'll be back) about an hour later.. I've got my coffee, finished my dinner and am ready to roll 😎 it's about 7pm right now, haven't heard from my supervisor in spite of the fact that I have already planned to and no matter what will be spending some time with him tomorrow. but it's about 7pm right now on my last day of the weeke...

3/2/2018 I'm on spring break! Finally. unfortunately I have not had my coffee and due to the current weather conditions here our power went out and I now cannot make my coffee :( despite running on little sleep I'm gonna make the best of today all starting with this post. I went to my classes and that as of course was a good start but now I'm finally doing what I actually want to be doing. hopefully you guys watched my newest video that I uploaded late last night, I'm hoping to upload another video over the weekend. I'm working hard guys, I'm working very hard. with recent personal issues I now value my time more than ever. right now, this moment, is all that matters to me. I want to be able to provide for myself and my family, to be able to do things that they honestly don't even think about and probably could not imagine. I have big goals and I'm ready to fight for them. I've been asking of the world for more time to focus on myself, the time ...

3/1/2018 my god, it's already the 3rd month of the year my people. we'll be back at January and I'll be turning 24 in no time, Jesus. life moves way too fast. I spent 8 hours at my internship today which felt like forever but honestly because I just sat there mostly, went by pretty quickly. wasting time and wasting life... so, my spring break starts tomorrow, technically. I will be launching my website over the course of this break as well as advancing and improving on my school stuff. with school I'll be spending a bunch of time hopefully at my internship although I don't wanna. I also need to study a lot to prepare for this second half of the semester. with my business I plan to launch my website, but I really want to do it when I am fully ready and prepared to market it using organic traffic. in 2 months I'll either be graduating from college, or planning to repeat one of these stupid classes. hopefully graduating of course. that just scares ...

2/27/2018 ugh this internship is going to be more work than I thought. not the internship in full but managing my hours as I have just fallen behind on my hours and was hoping to make things easier for myself. it's whatever, I don't even wanna think on it. it just feels as if things are just not going in my favor right now, times are just really tough. but I don't want that to come across as if I'm feeling down as I'm prepared for the fight, it just sucks to know that people don't support one another. people do whatever the hell they want to do and that usually involves a lot of factors. it simply upsets me to know/experience people not supporting those that are at least trying to make a positive impact on their lives. but that too is whatever, I'll keep fighting for myself. I actually just got some advice from one of my email clients that I was planning to have in a group where I myself would be giving advice lol. unfortunately I've lost this memb...

2/26/2018 I survived :) 2 exams in one day. 2 exams in 2 very different classes; bio-mechanics/anatomy/physiology/musculoskeletal analysis and my other class nutrition 2 rather difficult classes, nutrition being the most outlandish and insane tomorrow I definitely plan to film something and get some work done, I also really need to do a couple hours over at my internship unfortunately but I'm hoping to get things smoothed out over with my internship okay I'm rambling and talking about my problems, yet again I'm very tired. It's been a long Monday unfortunately our university suffered a loss over the weekend, a student from my degree program. it's so sad honestly. a junior whom from what I heard was well involved and going places, was struck by a car while riding his bike in the late hours of Saturday evening and passed away sometime on Sunday. so so horrible. I can't begin to imagine the reactions of his family, it's tough for us as peers of him,...
