"Greed" and "Surviving"

Current Song - Money (Pink Floyd)

For 7 long months I didn't have any source of income. The only way I could make money was if I collected aluminum cans and turned them in for a small amount of money. All while app opps were failing.

Then when things got to its lowest point (in this entry linked here) - almost eight years after I got the golden opportunity of a lifetime to work for SVM (and escaping from the hell that was PSO), I got the next golden opportunity to come back to work at the Shell station (escaping from the hell that was unemployment).

Do things really go great in eights?

Only this time around, I am 26 years old. Eight years ago I should have been preparing to move out of the house and into college. Four months on my preparation journey, something happened that sent life into freefall. Therefore, I make a prediction that August 2012 will be a month that will be very important in my life. (It's too bad I can't get blog posts notorized).

So I should probably get started now in making things better to make August 2012 something that is great in my life.

The weekly paycheck is coming now - a source of income, finally. I've heard of paperclip theories and other random ways to bolster my income. I have one chief way, and the others that I have heard while on this 7-month voyage are flanking it.

Right now I need every avenue to work out.

I learned that during my few days of lowpoint that I am actually WAY, WAY, WAY (X infinity) behind everyone else by age on the learning curve. I took a moment out of my day to take a glance of the Facebook profiles of my classmates that I have as friends (SHS 2005, RFHS 2005). Then I looked at myself.

It's gonna take a lot of money to make that happen.

It's going to have to take having an obsession with having a lot of money to make that happen.

Now is that greed, or trying to survive?
