The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades

I promised my friend Julie that I'd post a positive blog today since a lot of my prior blogs have been somewhat depressing so here I am, fulfilling that promise. The past 10 days have been a blur to me because so many great things have happened. I have been walking around with a constant smile on my face ever since I reconnected with my friend Luke, and started hanging out with some good friends from high school again (Kenny and Scottie).

For the past 2 years I have done nothing but talk about moving to Austin. That was my main goal in life was to get out of Brownwood and back to Austin because I love it there and it's where most of my best friends live. But this past week me and my friend Luke started talking and he's got a Graphic Web Design business that he had to put on hold for a while because he got sent to Iraq and he won't be back from there for another 9 months. Well when he gets back he plans to move to Colorado and reopen his business and he asked me to become a partner in the business with him and I accepted. So I am now part owner of a soon to be up and coming Graphic Design Business. We haven't come up with a name yet, we are still in the planning phase on exactly what we will be doing and who our primary market will be. But with the combined knowledge of the both of us and our determination to make this business work I have a really good feeling that this could be the start of a wonderful future for me. It may have taken me 10 years to get the ball rolling on starting my career but if this business turns out as good as we expect it to then it was well worth the 10 year wait. It's always been my dream to own my own business and if I have to move to Colorado to do that then Colorado here I come......in about a year.

As far as everything else is going I'm pretty psyched about finally getting out and hanging with some good friends that I grew up with. This past weekend we watched UFC 121 and while everyone else predicted Brock Lesnar was going to win the fight I had a strong feeling that Cain Velasquez would end up knocking him out and well, I was right! It was such a kick ass fight though. There were about 8 of us at Kenny's house and all during the fight we were up on our feet screaming and yelling and jumping around like a bunch of kids in a bouncy house. If I'm not mistaken there are some videos posted on youtube of some of the wrestling matches that went on after the fights were over. I know there are pics but you'll have to get a hold of Scottie and Kenny for them because I don't have any. But regardless it was the most fun I've had all year and I look forward to the next time we get together and do that again.

I've got a good feeling that my future will be a great one and that I will finally start to fulfill some of the dreams I had set out to fulfill when I graduated high school. I've learned that when you start thinking positive that positive things will happen. Over the past month I've completely changed my mindset and how I feel towards life and because of that so many great things have happened. Reconnected with great friends, and I've got plans for opening a business in Colorado with my good friend Luke. Those are some pretty great things if you ask me....and to quote an old 80s song...."The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades"
