So, I've been trying to break into freelance writing. I'm getting my feet wet now. I have to build my portfolio in order to get better paying jobs. So, I'm starting out with Associated Content, Hubpages, and Textbroker. We'll see how that works out. I finally talk to the credit card people yesterday. It feels funny not having my phone ring all day. I like it. I'll be glad when I can finally pay it all off. I can get about $10-$20 per month at Opinion Place Surveys and about $3-$12 at Pinecone Research. I'm still with MySurvey, Global Test Market, Epoll, and a few others. I'm cutting out a few so that I don't get too overwhelmed with them all. I'm trying to make my life more manageable, and live it like it's worth it. It'll get better.
In the meantime, unless you have been living under a rock for the last few weeks, you know that Michael Jackson died. Well, I've been reliving some old childhood memories and I was listening to my Michael Jackson collection (I have almost all of his music). Something that I came to realize while watching his memorial on television was that he really had done all that he set out to do. At least concerning his career, he did. No, he doesn't get to physically be with his children ( Though he is with them spiritually, a totally different discussion). Yes, he was about to go on tour but, he sold more records than anyone can imagine, at one point he was rich, he built his own amusement park (even though he did have to sell it to the bank), he had a legion of fans, and he was able to help a lot of children. He really did a lot with his life. How many people can say that? I'll forever be a fan of Michael. I always have been. Unfortunately, it took his death for me to realize just how inspiring he was (well, is). From now on, I'm really living my life like it's golden. God willing, I'm going to do what I love and help other people in the process. I just won't have the media circus to deal with :-)
P.S. I'm not sure when this blog went from just a personal diary to a personal finance type blog.
