SEEFUUU!!

Wow. I was really about to have to drop the field study class and push graduation back again. But, I found a company, and we came to an agreement. A good company, nonetheless with a good idea. May 10th here I come!

In business, I met with my mentor today and he helped me to get some much-needed focus. I am but one person, with a million ideas. So its good to have someone who will look at you like you're crazy (because you are) and put you in check quick, fast, and in a hurry.

In other news, I think there might actually be a steady email conversation going on between me and Chirstmas-break-girl. Don't get your hopes up though, I'm not. I sent the sweet, romantic guy on vacation, not to be called back until I can be sure that his efforts are truly needed. Poor guy, I don't want to see him go through all that work and get his hopes up for nothing. I think his feelings were a bit hurt last time. So the business side is working full time now. Hopefully one day things will be so that they can co-exists, they are one in the same M, after all.

Business is getting better!

Well, some great things happened last Wednesday that made me rething New M, and really revitalized my views about it. We got some publicity, we're going to a conference, and we've expanded the business concept. It's coming....

The Last of the Hopeless Romantics: The Gift and the Curse

I wrote this one night sitting up in bed. Something that had been formulating around in my mind made it into words, so I felt I should share.

The Gift and the Curse of Being the Last of the Hopeless Romantics:
You can, with what seems to you like not much effort, make a girl feel at home, make her happy, melt her heart, if you will. Without trying. It's just who you are. It's a gift given by the gods, or perhaps inherited from another life. A birthright?
So what could be the curse to that? Try it. You'll see. It becomes blatantly obvious in practice. Because its the nature of romance to put yourself into courting someone, you fall hard and fast. What's wrong with that? She's happy and comfortable right? Exactly... and that's just not right. She starts taking steps back to avoid the shock of unfimiliarity. You're the last one remember? No one's seen you or your craft in a hundred years. Its too good to be true. So they back away. Further and further until *poof*, gone. and you don't get over it until the next best thing comes along. And they can be few and far between. You're the last one to have this gift, so you're picky about who you share it with. Such is the life of the Last of the Hopeless Romantics. One of patience, uncertainty, ecstatic highs, dreadful lows, and unexpected triumph. Try dating in my shoes. I dare you.

-M.

That's how I get when its late at night. Not much of those thought ever make it to pen, at least not public pen. I felt that should be out (1) because its a part of who I am and this blog is about me and (2) because I wanted to put it out there that we still exist. The good guys are still here ladies. The TRUE good guys. The ones who open doors, send flowers, leave roses in the middle of the city for you to find, bring you cough medicine, cook you dinner, help you study, and generally like to spend time with you outside of the bedroom.

I'm convinced that there are still good girls out there that like good guys. Eventually I'll end up courting one that wants to be courted...

..And you, the viewer, will be the first to know, play by play!!! ROFL.

Live again!

Hey all. Sorry for the delay. My computers' actually been up for a bit now, but I've been so busy catching up to life and dealing with school I haven't stopeed to blog. Let's see... it snowed. I'll post new pics from my phone. Other than that, not much has gone on really.

Here's the specs for the new PC:
ASUS M2NPV HDMI motherboard, Athlon 64x2 4400+ Dual Core (no overclocking yet, I think thats what blew my last one up), 2GB DDR800 OCZ RAM with 4-4-4 timings. Had to lose one of my optical drives and one of my hard drives. So I have a total of 860GB storage space.


I'm tired. Ciao,

1st Week of School Update

Today is my 3rd 1st day of school for Spring 2008. I've been to all my classes except the big one, 4980. Everything is great, seems like its going to be a breeze. The field study thing didn't work out with J.B., but I think that will still be a great course (once I find my entre). The financial planning course is just in time for Centurion 2010. And geography... yeah. I got an easy teacher, so... its geography lol. Other than that though...

Job - One more interview to go with Firedog. I'm supposed to hear something back within the week. Looking forward to it if it happens. I'm sure Buckhead will be welcoming of a new friendly, neighborhood in-home technician.

Cars - I saw a Gallardo Spyder black yesterday, but didn't have time to snap a picture. Sorry.

Relationships - It's the Thursday after. Nothing else other than that, if that's anything =/

Computer - ...sigh. Soon.

Business - We've decided to add another show to the NMM launch schedule! Sorry there isn't any web presence, I don't have a computer. But yeah, thats going well.

M. - I'm feeling better after everything that happened over the break, and I'm glad to be back in school for the last semester. Money is coming together, and for the most part I'm starting off on the right foot. And... I'm 23! Happy Birthday to me!

Fresh for 2008!

Happy (belated) New Year!
It's time for a fresh new year of fun and business and friends and life and stuff. Let's start with and update...

Computer - still dead...

School - starts Tuesday. There was a breakdown in communication with my entrepreneurship class, so that's still pending a decision. Its looking fairly favorable right now though. Fingers crossed, and praying on it.

Business - computer dying was a little hicup in getting the logos and websites designed, but business still goes on as planned and on schedule.

Realtionships - (aka the juicy part). Well, Thursday.Jan.03.08 got here. The 4th rose was sent with a very deep, introspective letter (perhaps too deep, too introspective, but whatever), to which there was a rather short and unrelated reply. Which means, I'm done. Done playing offense at least. I invested a lot of time and energy into the last 4 weeks and it's been fun, but it would seem the timing just isn't right, so I'm hanging back. School's coming up, NMM needs to get off the ground, money needs to be straight; so many things I need to focus time and energy on. It's disappointing, 'cuz she's a great girl and would have been great beside me as I go on this path of personal development and entrepreneurship, but hey what can you do? And like I said, I'm just not playing offense anymore, so once she gets herself setttled, who knows? She might get back in the game.

Job - Well, as I'm writing this, my interview that was supposed to happen tomorrow just got pushed back a week. That means I SO could have waited to get my hair done. I contacted my Delta lady today, busy as usual but I think she's working on it somewhere in there. Fingers crossed, and praying on it...

Cars - Jan.03.2008 was a cold day in Atlanta. And what better to do on a cold day than skate! Skate through the Marietta court system that is... Out of 3 tickets, only had to pay half of one. What could have been $405USD in tickets was only $76USD. Granted, one ticket I shouldn't haave had anyways.
Here's an important lesson for everyone though: if you get any kind of parking ticket, and the officer does not get your signature - DONT PAY IT, GO TO COURT. It will most likely get thrown out b/c with no sig, there's no proof you were driving. I was out of the courtroom in 5 minutes. (Thats my experience, and I dont know if thats universal for the nation, so don't go to court saying "M said in his blog, yall would let me go..." :P) In an unrelated matter, I locked my keys in the car when I got to the court building x_X.

So that's what's going on currently. My main focus right now is to get a new job, hopefully that will happen within the next 2 weeks. I need to get my computer back up and running so I can stay on top of things. I'm going hard at this last semester so I can graduate on May.10, and NMM is still slated to launch Feb.29.

So, all in all it's a completely fresh start for this new year. That slate is almost completely blank. And as promised, Centurion by 2010 did start on New years day. As that progresses, I will probably end up creating a separate blog and maybe even a webshow to track the progress.

2008, the year of the M. It's a movie! Follow along.

Ciao,
M.
