But it is a nice feeling looking at things, items, cars, ect, that now can afford to pay cash for, if so choose.

So what is my plan going forward??
What is my plan going forward, I ask myself.
1. I know I can't out earn the cost of living, but I can cheat the cost of living by cutting back on certain luxuries and learning to live 'raw' again.
And that's basically it. I know I never again want to waste money on rent, once current lease expires, as such, that means...
1. Buying a used RV/Motorhome 2. Buying, paying cash for, land, as in 5-20 acres, unzoned land where I can park a RV and no issues.
Also though, I'd obviously have to continue to work, be employed, but at least with everything paid off, my pay checks will/would, go a lot further.
And with everything paid off, I could be much pickier over where I did decide to work...which = freedom going forward.
Whatever years I have left on this earth, all I really want is freedom, freedom to do, please, as I feel. I don't want to be a wage slave, like so many older people are or become.
It's up to me to forge a better/brighter future for myself, and it all depends on the decisions I make. That's scary actually, cause not exactly known for making the best decisions in the past. We shall see.

Also, where you live totally matters in your quality of life. Even though I'm a person of color, I no longer want to live around urban people, blacks, ect...no thanks. I wasn't raised in the city, and the cities are becoming very dangerous places...
I want to move to a rural area, so I can feel safe when home, or shopping.

Sometimes I think my worst enemy in this world is me.

I literally feel like I'm in some alternate universe right nowI feel like I'm in some alternative universe right now. I feel distant from my current reality, in that my current reality has changed so much over the past few months, that, I don't know, not sure how my inner self is relating to it, or if at all. I mean you spend, I spent, so much of my adult life dreaming of what I really wanted to do, and then when actually start doing it, it's like a shock onto the system, the consciousness. Sounds odd, I know. Not sure what to make of it yet, and or if capable of rising up to the new occasion and actully helping self turn life around, meet new people, be thrust into new environments, challengers, and more. I wonder if anyone else has gone through the same?

Major update
This is like a major update to my life. I had to move, do to an extensive apartment fire. 8 units in total deemed unlivable. My world has been turned upside down, sure. All my passwords, cords, this that, years of stuff, gone, years of stuff that made my life on earth tolerable, gone. Although, they may let us back in soon, to salvage whatever we can. And on top of that, I have to fly to Pittsburg tomorrow cause told guy I would before all this happened, so in the middle of my own stress and drama, I have to help another person...wow.
================================
I'm in new place now, don't really like it, don't feel as safe here, not even. The fire happened on Thursday...only managed to get a few things out. And just now able to get back online. It's been hell, my own personal hell. Writing is what soothes me, and when cut off from that, it's hard. ==================================
Plus I had just started film school, and was on a roll, and then this happened. All my books, passwords, ect, lost, unless can retrieve or reset, but again, tomorrow have to fly out for a few days, and drive a bus back, for a guy, who wants to make a documentary about stuff. My feelings have been all over the place...rebuild? Rebuild what, I thought, just so something else bad can happen?
But unless dying or commit suicide, you really have no choice but to go forward. =====================================
My life has been turned upside down, I had everything right, in my last place, monitors, wall projectors, so I could see. I need all that back, cause staring into a small laptop screen or cell phone screen doesn't do it for me. Hopefully, within 3 weeks, I can have most of the basics restored, but I live in not the best area, so not trying to get stuff, just to have it stolen...these people around here are snakes, the younger urban types. It's like prison without walls here. ===================================
I'm drinking right now, and shouldn't be, since gotta get up early and catch a flight. Then catch a cab about 50 miles, then go to a dealer and pick up a bus...wow, then drive it back like 900 miles, if it even makes it. My life sucks right now, to me. Anyways, just getting out some writing energy since been away for so long. Stuff is happening way to quick. Like I've always said, 'time is my enemy', the future is always my enemy, it's all of our enemy. To be continued whenever, when I get back from trip.

I even have to order a new power cord for this laptop, since left old one in apartment...so I can't keep this on for to long. I think that's it for now, signing off and turning computer off.

Radical momentary lifestyle change...I say momentary cause it's been short, so far.
I have a real sudden sense of urgency, and so have stopped drinking, I'm working out daily now, and just utilizing my time much better. Where will it lead? I don't know, maybe I'm just fooling myself, maybe my time has long been done and over and maybe I'm just residue blowing around....I don't know, but I do know I'm still here, and have a mind and thoughts and a personality and emotions...and so while still here, all I can do is live.
I can plan, I can plot, but ultimately fate has the final word and say on the outcome.

Boeing space capsules re-entry into the Earth's orbit delayed, again
This story just seemed to drop from the news the last few days...so I typed in.. 'Did Boeing capsule return to Earth yet?' And apparently it hasn't, and has been delayed indefinitely. That's not a good sign.
I mean think about it, if those astronauts get fried upon re-entry, that will be the end of Boeing as we know it. That would be the worst public image disaster ever suffered by any company, so that fact they're keeping them up there means they, Boeing, is very scared and uncertain of a safe return.
Will they be rescued by Space X or some other privately owned space company? Or by Japan, or China or Russia?
Time will tell.

Screw paid cloud storage and say hello to high powered external drives So glad I was scrolling through Amazon last night and came upon these external drives which can store just as much of your stuff as the cloud can. No more having to worry about paid cloud storage...these external drives are a game changer, and I'm ordering one today, for sure, so I can transfer all kinds of stuff to it and free up space on my lap top...heck ye. Stop wasting money on cloud storage and get a external hard drive...they come in varies storage capacities, more storage than the average casual computer own will ever need.

I've wasted a ton of time on two thing in the past
1. Drinking
2. The internet/social media
And now I'm trying to steer clear of both, the best I can.
I've got internet burnout, for real. And social media...gag...so sick of the control games.
Social media has turned into the most bias medium out there.
At first, everyone given a fair share of views...but then the silicon valley snakes weaved their way in and started playing favorites, and after that social media has never been the same.
Most of those who post have been reduced to nothing more than babbling idiots, one line idiots, with no follow up, nothing...one and done comments.
And you read those comments while all your info being harvested by 3rd and 4th and 5th and 10 party 'partners'....
Sell your soul and privacy just to see yourself type a comment online...no thanks.
At least here it's quiet.

I no longer enjoy flying anymore
Flying, being a pilot, is all I used to want to do when younger, but now, nah.
I just don't like flying anymore, at least not publicly, as in commercial airports...it's just no fun.
All public airports are to me now is rush rush rush, cramp cramp cramp, on small interior where window is to low to even look out of comfortably.
And that fact that they always want to serve you food. Why can't people fly for 2 hours or less without freagen snacks or food...eat while on the ground! Is what I say.

I had a big mac hamburger the other day, for the first time in over a year, and it actually tasted pretty good, again.
I say 'again', cause for a while there their hamburgers really sucked and tasted more like cardboard.
