It’s a Sunday night, I’m sitting at my computer reflecting on how this has been something that I’ve been wanting to do for way too many years. For the past seven years, I have tried to start a blog with each time failing to post more than a few posts ending the same way with the site being forgotten about. It’ll be different this time. Why you ask? What sets this time apart from all the rest? Simply put, there is expression within me that yearns to come out and be heard. 

What I consider to be my “first ever post”, I will take the time to tell anyone that is willing to listen about the journey I am about to embark on. Join me in the documentation type of journey. All are welcome. All that is, who are willing to hear me out.  

There are so many projects that I’m going to embark on, each one something new and something that I know many other people have been wanting to try themselves but just might not know where to start. With this blog, I can help you take out the guesswork with my own personal experiences. 

Day trading – buying and selling stocks for both long term and short term.  

I have been diligently watching the stock market and tracking the lows and highs since the market crash of 2008 and our most recent one in 2020. Putting hard earned money at risk would make any ordinary American cringe at the idea but there is definitely something to be said about taking a risk, sometimes they pay off and sometimes they pay off REALLY big. Needless to say, I’m not about to take big risks, go all in, or anything extreme of that nature. I’m simply talking about learning to take the trades that will start to put money into my pocket and set me on the track to make something for myself. You know, that financial independence that everyone is talking about nowadays? Yeah, it would really be nice not to have to go to a job anymore. Am I right? 

Metalwork, woodwork, blacksmithing – If you are anything like me, then there is a chance that you have seen the show “Forged In Fire” on the History channel. If not, it’s on Hulu and there’s a good chance that you can catch it on TV. Watching this show for so many years had really got me thinking, “Why can’t I try this? What is stopping me from giving it a shot?” I have the space to set something up where I live. You know, the kind of ample space where I won’t be able to burn down the entire neighborhood? All jokes aside there is a real sense of accomplishment that one feels when they are able to make something out of nothing, to be able to make a lump of coal turn into a beautiful diamond so to speak. As for the metal and woodwork they will go hand in hand with the fact that they will help play an important role in helping create that diamond form.  

Fitness – this is really just going to be an add-on to the journey that I am taking. It’s going to consist of recipes here and there, fitness programs that I will be working into my regime, and progress updates for those who will be following me on not only on this adventure but new lifestyle change. Personally, I feel if you are going to try to learn something new or expand on the knowledge that you have obtained in your life, why not take another step further and improve both your mind and your body. 

Bonus

Cooking – I’ve been cooking for about 12 years now. Being that I’m 25 years young, It’s a little less than half of my life! It’s been a real passion of mine for so long and I feel like if it wasn’t for the Food Network, I wouldn’t even have had it in me in the first place. I can honestly say that it was the first project I took on and really went the whole nine yards with. So as a bonus to this journey of new ideas and new exploration, I will be also including recipes that I will be trying and share how they ended up. 

Thank you for supporting me by taking the time to read this very first post. I really wanted to keep everything short and to the point. As always, have a great day and keep learning and moving towards your goals, never stop pushing! 

Day One
