As I was awaiting the Goddess Oprah to come on Dr Phil ended his show with this line, Success is the best revenge.
Blogging, expectations and life itself require us to navigate all kinds of problems. I think MOST bloggers have the same situations as me going on money probs wife 
probs could be health problems whatever.
Since starting this blog I have been to the mountain top I saw success and was well paid, I also been in jail and wasted tons of money on hard drugs. Hopefully all that negative crap is over well maybe today I still have some problems but you know what I’m not quitting yet I’m NOT on Drugs now except weed
Today I saw a picture on Facebook with some of the most famous bloggers and internet people in the world all in one picture and I thought DAMN they UGLY NO I thought wow they are just like me a regular person and if they can do it so can I and so can YOU : P. I have to write better, rant less and make sense MORE and keep working. If I need to leave San Antonio and my marriage AGAIN I will keep that shit to myself. No one wants to hear a cry baby a constant complainer, I don’t.
So I’m lucky to be alive BE AMERICAN and have two beautiful children. Have you have a mountain experience, or are you stuck ? Anyway I hope everyone is well thanks. I wanted to thank the FEW people that been there for me I do appreciate it and a smart move on your part Because there is none More Loyal to a friend then I.
DON’T QUIT
Good to hear that you have come out of the struggle.
I’ve had my defining moment, where you look at yourself and where you are and everything/everyone around you and decide to change things, fix them up and move forward.. And you know, it is the best revenge, but that’s not the main motivating factor… Life is about growth and constantly moving forward.. Live that, breathe that
We all have the ability to turn our lives around. Sometimes it takes a while, but it can happen. I’m nowhere near where I want to be in life, but when I look at my life compared to where I was in 2005, I have come a LONG way. It makes me excited to think where I could be by 2013 if I keep up the same pace. Just keep plugging away at life, John, and keep your goals in mind.
John,
I was seriously moved by that post. I have been through some similiar struggles over the last couple of years. In fact, I turned to blogging to keep me away from all that shit that was bringing me down..Sometimes it takes going through a bunch of shit to make you realize what you have. I know for me there is not a day that goes by that I don;t hug my kids, tell them I love them and that God for giving me another day. One day at time!
BTW, like the new blog design
Life is a constant struggle, and you have to fight many uphill battles, but you must never give up.
Your last line says it all. DON’T QUIT! If you can hang in there, you will usually outlast those problems.
I’m glad to hear you have outlasted those problems. Two wonderful kids will keep you going when other things will not. You are blessed, you know!
