Should I not feel free to profer the written equivalent of a verbal grunt of affirmation in a dialogue already so rich in detail and repartee that I could contribute little else? Nay: let my twin-word post be a lesson, a hallmark of more suitable web communication and a harbinger of things to come. Eventually, and with intense counseling, it is my hope to progress to a post of merely one word; I anticipate achieving this milestone sometime within the next six months. The ideal, of course, would be to rely solely upon an errant but ostensibly witty punctuation mark, or perhaps even a smiley of uncertain provenance; but I am not yet ready to embrace such powerfully brief symbols. To wit, sir, be not disappointed or decry the decline of a persona per se; it is merely an evolution, not a devolution.

Does that clarify anything?

It clears everything up! I congratulate you on your aspirations and anticipate watching the evolution now that you have made me away of your heart's posting desires.

Oh, I needed this laugh this morning! You are one of a kind!

Laura, I now return your monetary woes thread to you.

LOL

I think it is great how committed you are to following your dreams. I would send you some money.

[chicgeek]

Just a quick note.

After talking to my voice teacher, roommate, best friend, cats, banker friend, and parents, I am going to attend TSSS this year. Ultimately it came down to two things: it is professional development, and never again will I have the financial flexibility available to me now.

Time to talk to a travel agency.

ohh yea any one that has a passion for what they do will succeed, giving up goes no where

[chicgeek]

I'd rather live in poverty and be happy than be financially stable with the knowledge that I didn't have the guts to try.

[Cricket]

That attitude will take you far in life!

Plus, north American poverty is more like upper middle class in most parts of the world... so... you got that going for ya

You know when you said that it reminded me something, I have a lots of friends that had rough lifes growing up, or I should say didn't always have everything handed down to them, but are doing super good now because they kept trying, and they went through very hard times to achieve what they wanted.

John for example, john had it rough for awhile before he got into v7n.com, well way before that, now look he practically owns one of the biggest forums on the web, well pretty close for web development anyways, any one can achieve anything if they keep chasing after it, bottom line.

When you keep going for something, sooner or later its bound to pay back, someone can either do good things there hole life, and then good things happen to them, or someone can do negative things there hole life and negative things get returned.

Another example is my dad, he pratically grew up on the streets, and lived in a trailor for like 7 years, while he was building his company, now he is one of the biggest reseller for certain car audio lines, and brings in over 40-50 k per month, and all of are relative, and my friends parents kept saying why don't he get a real job blah blah, that was his real job, and now hes done passed them up, and now they like envy him.

He even had a good college education, and had really good job offers, but turned them down because he could see the it in his head that it was going to work , I love people that are passionate about what they do, they are the winners, I don't it when I see people give in.


takes time!

Good to hear you are taking the TSSS dive! I was hoping it would work one way or another for you and you would let us know. Enjoy and, of course, give us a report when you get back, or as you are there. You will be dragging a laptop in your much discussed bag won't you?

[chicgeek]

I will be bringing my laptop so I can work in the evenings. I can't afford to take an entire week off of work, though I'll probably only get half my hours in.

Pretty bag.

[jackbdirty]

Well, if I had $1,200 lying around I don't think I'd be on the internet everyday working. lol
