The Next Berkshire-Hathaway!

Ever since I was a wee lad, I have wanted to be rich. I'm not talking about six figures a year, I mean six figures a month or even a week. I have a million business ideas, but start up capital always seems to be lacking.

I don't want to be "rich" to be flashy, I want to be rich so that I can help others. The first donation after the purchase of a truck and fishing boat would be to my church. I would then buy new cars and houses for my family and just walk around handing out $100 bills. I would help families that needed money for adoptions and fertility treatments. I would buy clothes and school supplies for under privileged children. I would feed the hungry around the world. I would create jobs for the unemployed. I sound like I am running for president. I minored in political science for three days. Does that make me qualified?

As I said before, I always have business ideas, but capital is a problem, until now. My latest idea is to start an investment group. I would gather a group of friends and relatives that are interested in investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, etc...

This would not be a get rich quick idea. It would be an avenue to creating wealth over a period of a few years in order to live comfortably. It is merely an idea at this point. I have found that if you write it down, the odds are better of it coming to fruition. So here it is in writing for all to see.

Now I need to find interested parties to join me. A lot of discussion would need to take place to outline the details of the group. How many investors should be in the group, what backgrounds should they have, how much would the initial investment be? I'm sorry if I am boring the readers that want to hear about Charlie.

If you have any experience in an investment group please let me know some of your ideas. If you are interested in joining an investment group please me know.

Have a great day and dream big!

Writing About Life!

Writing about everyday life is tough when everyday is nearly the same. I wake up, play with Charlie for a few minutes, get dressed, go to work, come home and go to bed.

Exciting right? Who wants to read about that everyday, let alone write about it. I can continue to write about Charlie and his exciting adventures, but, not much has really changed since my lady post.

I need a specific topic to focus on. Kind of like a modern day "Dear Abby" column. I want to share my wisdom and insight or lack there-of. I can find humor in anything. Finding a specific topic that isn't already flooded on the Internet is a challenge.

What do you think? When you jump on to the world wide web, what would make you say, "I need to check blogger today because that information yesterday was excellent"? I guess that is what I need to figure out.

Is it necessarily the topic that you are reading about that interest you or is it the writing style that the author uses to portray the story and facts? A little bit of both, maybe? Hopefully I can find the answer soon so that I can bring you the information that interest you.

I shall ponder this thought for a while and see what transpires.

Mr. GQ!

I know that my opinion is very biased because he is my son, but I have the cutest child in the world. His personality is hilarious. Charlie is going to be a little ham just like his daddy was.

He makes funny faces, does goofy wiggle dances and knows exactly how to evoke laughter from anyone. He is a little ladies man too. He loves to cuddle and hug on the women around him. Maybe I have taught him a little too much for his age.

Jamie took a series of pictures of Charlie today and I am certain that my child was posing. Maybe he will make Mommy and Daddy rich one day when he is modeling for a high-line clothing company.

Keep your daughters locked up if they are in the vicinity of this boy. He may try to make a move. Lord help me keep Charlie under control if he keeps this up.

It's Been A While!

Wow! Life can get very busy sometimes. Since the last time that I wrote a post a lot has happened.

I have changed jobs, Charlie has grown 1 1/2 inches and gained 3 pounds, Jamie turned 27 today and my family has experienced many wonderful blessings. Hard work has paid off and the Lord has shown us favor.

Charlie is growing way too fast. He is the happiest baby in the world and I must say one of the cutest. He is trying with all of his might to crawl. He has almost mastered the army crawl, but he hasn't figured out the hands and knees crawl yet. He can drive his walker like a race car though.

I am going to make an effort to bring you more stories, more often, like old times. I will be back soon. It's good to see you again.
