Family Photos!

Sunday we went to the center of the universe to have our family pictures taken. There is a little town named Rabbit Hash that has a population of three. Two of that population are dogs. Though it is a small town, it is a great place to take pictures.

We arrived after a 30 minute drive to find our child asleep in the back seat. They always say "Let sleeping dogs lye." We let Charlie sleep for an additional 15 minutes before awakening the monster. Upon arising from his slumber you could tell that he was not impressed with our idea. We allowed a few minutes for him to adjust to the new surroundings that he found himself in.

When we thought that he was ready to put on his typical smiley face we began posing for the camera. Apparently he was not ready.

We waited a few more minutes and let him become a little more adjusted to what was going on. We took a few shots while holding him and captured several great photos. My mom and cousin looked like a couple of goons trying to make Charlie smile. I think that they woke up most of the town making noises like a couple of chickens that were just hit by a truck, but did not die. The "Boop, boop, boops!" and "Lalalalalalas" had me laughing the most. The noises and jumping around finally started to produce some great smiles.

Our child is such a ham. I think that he was trying to look like a ventriloquist dummy in this picture. I didn't mind because it is an adorable picture of our little family. We only have a few sneak peek pictures right now and we are dying to see all of them. We will receive them one day after my wonderful cousin finishes sorting through all 724 of them.

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.
