This would be post #1 YALL!!!

I figured if everyone else is doing it I better right?... The way I see it is this is a place that you kinda get to brag about yourself to everyone. cant be to bad. I just thought that I would update everyone on what I am doing. With CompUSA shutting its doors so quickly I knew that I needed to start looking for a new job. So, I started talking to some friends that I have known for a while that I have worked with in the retail business for the last few years. To make a long story short I found a job at Brent Brown Auto. I have had the opportunity to take a training course this entire week from one of the most influential motivating guy I have ever talked to. His name is Mike Terry I don't know if there is much out there about him but there will be someday I guarantee it. This guy has everything in the world that he has ever wanted and will give it all to see the average Joe succeed in life. He has not only changed the way I look at sales and what kind of salesman I can be, he also has changed the way I look at my every day life. The biggest thing he teaches is change your mental images from negative ones to positive ones. He mentions to try this activity for fun he says even he does it every once in a while. he says, "take a dictionary and rip every negative word that is in it out of the book. makes you feel better." HAHA I thought that was great. One way that I tried it was on my way home from work that day I decided that every single driver that decided to do something stupid around me like pull out in front of me of slam their breaks on... you know those kinda of things that make you want to get out and show them what your made of kinda things..... I decided that I was going to say every time that it happened that it was cool.. no problem...sure enough by the time I got home I was just a happy guy that had a great day at work...(so my mind was telling me lol) but it is so true that we are what we think. anyway I am excited to do my new job and be surrounded by all sorts of these kind of people. ohh I almost forgot to tell you what I am doing. I am starting up the internet sales and show floor salesman support department. I only deal with people that want to buy cars which is a big step in the car industry(imagine that). I have some great potential to learn and grow from many Jedi like people there... whodathunk a car salesmen job could be so good!!

I am going to make this a two for one post.

As all of you know or should know Rock Band has now hit the market and I could just not pass it up. So, here are a few pics of the next rock band to hit the road on world tour baby. I cant find my transfer cable so I will upload the pics tomorrow.

BEN! Nice job and thanks for sharing some of your thoughts and feelings about the new job. You can be everything you want to be.

Good luck [which just doesn't sound right for someone who is making positive moves for the future and exercising their free will to make it happen]! You da man!
