It's that time of new memories and more knowledge to come, it's that time to see who's cool and who's not. Yeah, typical high school stuff. For those of you who are, of course. College is different, in and out. You do your thing, and if you don't, no one cares either way; it's your future, your money, why would anyone care? It's a whole new view of how the school system treats you from being a kid to an adult; college is about who you will become in the future and how you'll handle it. Shortly put, you are on your own.
So I got a scholarship, yes, I'm returning to college for further certificates and I couldn't be more grateful. Database and graphic design certificates are my current goals, hopefully it'll all come through as planned. I'm looking forward to it, it's kind of exciting, to learn new things and apply them in the real world for your own benefit. My advice to middle and high school students is simple, enjoy it and have fun. Yeah, I know it can be boring or stressful but those moments will never be able to be lived EVER again. So enjoy it, because sooner or later you'll find yourself grown, with plenty of responsibilities and way too much on your hands and look back to say, how simple life used to be.
My company, Silver Sphere Designs, is getting more and more promotion. Now on 1030AM radio stations Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:15 am to 9:30 am a little segment is given to my company to talk about its services it has to offer. And I've been getting more calls than usual, and these are more serious. I have a computer to repair tomorrow, as a matter of fact  . Anyway, my dad is helping me with this, he's been trying to get me on that radio station for a while, and my voice is being heard so I'm happy for that.
Vanessa, she, is simply amazing. Yeah, we've had a few disagreements but her heart is pure, her heart is real. She is simply the most wonderfully amazing person I've ever met and I couldn't be happier to have someone like her. Our love has grown tremendously and continues to, I've never been able to love like I am now, and not this fast either. But I'm glad, and I'm happy for everything that has been happening. I don't want her to be a memory, she and I are alike, and we both agree on many things but we also have our disagreements (of course, but who doesn't). We want this to continue to grow, we want more time together, we want more of us, and I'm not afraid of that, I'm not afraid of my commitment with her, I want all that she has to offer and I want to give her all that I have to offer as well and the feeling is mutual .
Enjoy school everyone, school shouldn't be a bother. After all, you can never stop learning in life. School is just there to make you more aware, to make you a better person, and to help you with your future. Cherish what you have and the opportunity to do so because there are people who don't have it. So thank God for what you have, for your blessings.

| Oh Summer Days |

Been another good while since I've posted here, guess that just means I've been keeping plenty busy and I have. But it's a good kind of busy because it also keeps my mind occupied and active on productive things, also allowing me to get a lot of things done but also having some relaxing fun. For the most part I've been working, focusing on future classes at college, and of course also seeing my lady on almost a daily basis.
Anyway, I'll start with work. It's been somewhat stressful, mostly because my bosses think they can take advantage of my time there, such as fixing computers, setting them up or doing extra stuff that has nothing to do with my job. In that sense, I've taken a step toward stopping all of it. How? Either by charging them extra or simply ignoring extra things they ask for. It's worked on a couple of things, but it's a work in progress but so far I'm pleased that it's either going to stop or I'll simply be recognized for my extra work and I believe that's both fair and the right thing.
Family is still having some problems, but I'm kind of not really getting too involved, mostly because it has nothing to do with me or nothing that I would personally be able to help with. But I am praying, I'm also praying that my mom realizes that life isn't always negative, that there are bright areas in life even when things seem dim. And that God is her salvation as well, because she's blind right now, she doesn't see life the way it should be and it saddens me to see her in darkness because she's such a good "catholic" woman, I will keep praying however, she doesn't think I love her but I do love her and I am praying for her, I want the best for her, I want to see her smile, I want her happy once again.
Now on to college, great news here too, how so? Well I got a scholarship for the next two semesters and I will use them to my advantage to earn at least one certificate, either graphic design or database. Why certificate? Because I already got my degree but I wanted to further my expertise and learn additional careers around my own so I can offer more services for my customers on my company.
And speaking of company, upgrading my prices has given me a new way of looking at things. And I'm also looking for more developed and in-depth projects than just some simple 4-6 page design web site. This also allows me to grow with what I do and also give satisfying services to customers that are interested in my services. I'm glad to have done so, I got rid of the low-class-cheap people, basically and I'm happy for that.
Something you can't help but to look back into past loves and see that you've either stepped up or stepped down from what was then, or to be nicer, just to realize that you are either in a better position, in a better relationship, or sadly, in a worse position or relationship than you were in the past. I've come to realize that Vanessa has been a blessing in my life and that I am in a better position and a relationship than I was in past relationships. I see her almost daily, whether we're watching a movie, talking, praising God together (something I've never done with any girlfriend before), or simply just hanging out, things are just amazing. I haven't been able to love in a long while and not this sudden either, nor have I ever felt like this before but I am glad for what is happening and how things are going. I am hoping for this to last, I don't need another scandalous-false relationship that only ends up breaking me in two. I want this to work, I have prayed to God for someone like her, we are doing well so far and it continues to do so. I did notice that time isn't our friend, I always find myself sad because I did not feel we had enough time together or we both find that there isn't enough time to do things we plan on doing and because of short time we forget things we planned on doing, we need more time together, we do see each other almost daily but for some reason it's not enough but I think that's a good thing, mostly because that just means we have a lot in mind to do and share together, it also tells me that I simply can't have enough of her, that should be a good thing, right? I do need to change one thing about myself though, I guess I can be too touchy-feely but it's hard to resist my attraction to her, to her beauty and everything else and it's just how I am anyway, kind of hard for me to change that but I'll have to try my best if I want this to work. I've been experiencing a lot of new things with her, and I like it, I've been doing things with her I haven't with anyone before, but I like it, I like it a lot, I want more!
Well, summer days are being counted down so make them count people! Hope you guys are having fun, don't get too stressed on work, you never know when our last day will be here, balance it out with some stress-free days and some productive days as well, till next time.

It's been a few busy weeks. I have not had the chance to post here for a good 20 days, geez time flies! Anyway its 2 am so I'll try to make this somewhat short but also not too long. Because I'm also rather tired and sleep is creeping in slowly.
I've become aware that I've been selling myself short on my web design company, many other companies are charging way in the thousand range where I am selling my services a good 10 times under than that so I've said enough being a good guy and start showing that I really mean business. I've upgraded my prices by 100%, this will show that I am serious about what I do and will also attract the clients that are more suited for the services that I offer. Selling for cheaper doesn't always mean bad or poor quality of work; I just didn't know what price to range my services on at first. Then I learned that majority of people like to save money (of course) but once they get a low price, they want it even lower than that. So enough of that, basically, enough of cheap people who aren't willing to pay the right price for a service that I've studied for almost a good 10 years of my life, practiced it and at this point, mastered it. Some may run away from the prices but I will just rid myself of trouble makers (cheap people who want it cheaper) and attract people who know what they want and seek it.
I may be starting a project with my uncle sometime this week, hopefully soon because I want to work on the web site, working on web sites is what I've made a career out of and I get excited to get started on any. So aside from working on a web site with my uncle (mostly just him taking care of getting the text and me doing the rest) I will also be working with him with computer networking/repair. Well, maybe, we have yet to make any official agreements. So that's what's coming up later and soon. I've also been getting a few requests to make web sites, one for a church and another for a rapper, I am hoping they'll take my offer and continue with the project.
Things with Vanessa couldn't be any better, we are a great match. Obviously, nothing is perfect but we strive towards a balance that allow us both to be happy together and enjoy each other's time and also have the ability to show each other our true feelings without being scared of showing too much, if there is such a thing. We've been spending plenty time together and to my surprise I do not fear boredom or the initial fear of losing her. Things are going well under way and I want them to continue so, balance, communication, love, and most of all, God is what's keeping us going and growing stronger daily.
One downside to working with my uncle will be to give up gym, there just isn't enough time. But as I've said right now it's nothing official but if it comes to that point I will have to give it up because time will simply not allow it and if it does I'll probably be dead tired by the end of the day, I see it already. Another downside to this change will mean less time on the decks, but let's face it; I haven't touched my decks in almost eight months so at this point that's just an extra "downside” to the mix.
Some things have been hectic, such as how this Friday has felt like a Monday, completely and utterly busy and stressful beyond belief. But things calmed down a few hours after, and it definitely calmed down when Vanessa came to visit me at work before going out to do what we had planned. Plans to go to six flags or kings dominion have changed into going to Hershey Park instead, and I can't wait. I've never been there so it'll be a lot of fun to go to a new place and get on all sorts of new rides, and I deserve the little fun, I've been too busy with other things that I need to get out it to just step back and relax a little.
Well, I tried to make it short. It's time for bed so I am gone, I hope you guys are having fun and enjoying the beach. Hit me sometime, post a comment, thanks for reading, and for coming to the site! I'll be adding more photos soon, so keep an eye out on that, I love the new photos section and its features, pretty nifty. Well, until next time!
