IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR...........

Look again, he's coming to town..........

This is my favor holiday of the year. Not just because of the presents, but because of all the love that is being dished out to other people. Everyone, whether they had a bad year or not, is just enjoying this time of year. For one, it's Christmas, for two, it's a time where friends and family get together to celebrate the comfort of one another. I personally enjoy sharing and giving to others, just making someone happy is my concerns. Everyone is normally having or showing that they are having a good time. There are many activities that people are doing this time of year. Other than shopping, they are going skiing (I did already), snowboarding, snow mobile riding, playing in the snow, Christmas parties, Dinner plans w/ friends, etc..... There are so many things to do and at the perfect time to do it, the END OF THE YEAR!!

This is a very special time that everyone is waiting and hoping for something that they really didn't think they were getting. May it be clothes, money, a new T.V, keys to a new first car, a ring... Really this is the time to do it. I hope that this is a year to remember for everyone, I know that I have had my ups and downs this year of '05. But, something can happen to anyone, but you have to move on and keep on fighting. The reason that I enjoy this time more than any part of the other year, cuz we take what we already have in front of us for granted sometimes. Our families, our friends, our lives, our jobs, our finances, the snow (Which some people in this country have never seen), the fact that we are alive and made it to another year. Remember the small things that happen on the news where something has happened and someone/many peoples lives are altered. Give something small to someone else, may it be phone call, a text message, a Christmas card, a hello to a stranger, money for the Salvation Army, food to a homeless guy. I just received a wonderful compliment from a friend of mine just the other day. I sent a text message on Thanksgiving and he thought it was one of the best things that someone, other than his brother or family, did for him. Showed him that I cared to take time out of my day, think of him and sent a wishful thought to him and his family. He told me that it was very special that someone cared that much to send him something. That made me feel very happy, that I made someone else happy on that day. Some wise man said before, " It's the small things that count", and it's true the fullest extent. Believe that you can make a difference, not only in your life, but in the lives of others. Make an effort this X-mas and do something that your normally wouldn't do! Keep in mind that this shouldn't be the only time of the year to do it, but it's a great time to start getting use to it!

AS A SIDE NOTE:.......What I'm doing this year, to many that don't know me, I'm donating money to the local foundation, "Angels for Animals". A request from someone very special to me! I'm doing something just a little different. Giving something to some place that really needs it, more than someone getting that 3 pair of slippers, or that shower curtain to replace the one you didn't use last year. I'm giving the money to a non-profit organization that will go towards food, medical bills, or whatever needed. So, everyone, whether your rich, poor, or just have a few dollars to spend give something to someone else that really needs something. Like "Angels for Animals to help out the cause and the environment. Everyone has a heart, we'll use it this holiday and make sure that you continue to do so!
Enjoy this week, as you go out into the trenches and find that perfect gift or special card for someone that you care about. Remember why your doing it too.... This is Christ's B-Day.....so don't ever forget that all this isn't possible unless he was borning.

LOVE, PEACE, AND HAPPINESS!!!!!!!! Have a fun week of shopping!

WHEN A MAN DIES...........

Death and dying...

Fear of death.......... If there exists one experience that, throughout history and around the world, binds mankind together, it is death. Death is something we all must face--no exercise or diet regimen, no meditation techniques, no amount of money can avoid it, even w/ prayer no one has a free ticket. Even "The Great Moses", who lives for 200 and some odd years, had to face it. It is the great equalizer.The finality of death, coupled with the uncertainty of an afterlife, results in fear, for many. We see it all around us as we try so hard to stop the aging process. We hope that the next pill, the next surgery, or the next genetic discovery will be the key to extending our lives. But, as we see it now it's something that can't stop itself from happening.
When I was a child, I had a fear of death, and it was upsetting to me to even think about it. I kept having these visions of me physically and mentally not being one of this world anymore. I had many out of body experiences. For some ungodly reason, I kept seeing myself in a car accident, but really didn't want to die. Keep seeing myself, my face, all in the smashed up metal. I sometimes still have that fear, but it's not like it use too. This fear almost came true last OCT., when I was coming home to pick up some material for my job. Somebody pulled his truck and trailer in to the fast lane from the median, which at that time I was going pretty fast. He was trailing a trench digger, and going very slow. By the time I saw him doing what he did, I slammed right into the back of him. The Trencher was about 3 feet from cutting right into the driver side windshield. I would have been killed instantly! The car was totaled and my ear was messed up and I was really busied. I survived and keep on, moving on, but it goes to show that it wasn't really my time to go.

With this fear that I have or had, has changed over the years. I have a different view of my life now that I feel of where I'm going. Leaving this world behind for a better, richer, cleaner, more suitable world that is just right for me and everyone else who is going. My fear was leaving this world, which I've spend every minute and every second living it up. I would miss my family, my friends, my everything. I would not be here to make the decisions that I wanted too anymore, or finish things that I once started, or made the money that I dreamed of making some day, having the children that I always wanted, having the loving wife to come home to, or the dog and the picket fence. That was scary to me, which really made me feel very cautious.

What are your feelings? What is your fear or fears? Do you have a Fear of death or the unknown? Please comment and/or leave me an email! I would really like to know what's on your mind!

No matter what you do or where you go, you can't run away from it. Death is something that we all have in common w/ everyone in this world. It's up to you to decide which way you want to go. Eat right, diet, run, job, work out, stop drinking as much, don't do drugs, don't smoke, and just be cautious! Just remember Love, Peace, and Happiness....Beware, death is coming, just be prepared......

No More Monkey Business......

No more monkey business I Say.......... It's time to look for another career and another place to live!! Anyone not having fun or enjoying their current job, anyone looking for a change of venue? Well I am, and I'm not going to take another cold, frigid winter in OHIO again. I can promise you that..........

My topic for the day is................Why people get used to crappy weather, bad conditions, bad areas, no jobs market, no good schools, no fun places to go, no good looking women to gawk over, just simply flat out --- NO EXCITEMENT?

Well, you tell me........ Is it family, is it security, is it friends, is it your current job that has you locked down, is it your girl or boy friend? What is it that drives the mind to stay local w/ relatives or friends. Now , at my humble age of 28 I'm am totally thinking about the reasons and why I personally havn't made the move yet. I'm thinking that the comfortable status of family, friends, career or job, plays a huge role in the dicision making process. The idea of moving to an area w/ out the comfort of someone to call, hang with, or needing sugar from your trusty neighbor is scaring everyone. Now, I'm not talking to the ones that have gone on and moved far away from home when they were 18, they are not part of this discussion at this time. I'm talking about the ones that have moved out the house and bought something that was about 15-20min away from mom and dad!

Now, there are exception to the rule, there are different situation for different strokes. I have lived at home w/ my parents for a long time, some say too long! But, here's the thing, aren't we told, teached, and taught to live better than our parents? Isn't that what we are supposed to do, is let the last name move forward into the next generation? We'll I tell ya what, I have a wonderful relationship w/ my parents, and will continue to have one. I live at home still, in a ranch style home, pay rent, and have my own room and entertainment area. I have about 2000sq ft. to myself and do alot around the house to help out where I can!

The most important thing is that I have learned was to saved a ton of money! I owe it all to the two most important people in my life..... MY PARENTS. Some say I'm a momma's boy, some say I should grow up and move on, but I say that I'm playing my cards just right. For the last 4yrs I have had a job that pays pretty good. I made more than my parents did, but the fact of the matter was that I learned to save (as well as spend-lol) money. I learned that saving money and investing it well, will get you to an area that most americans will never get to. Knowing the importance of money and what saving it could do for you, is prime! Finding out where you want to live or go in this world is up to you. Your career path.......It is said that the average person changes career/jobs 26 times in there life. Well folk, that's alot.... find out who you are and finding out what you need or want out of life, doing that is up to you. It is very important to find out what you like to do and go for it, don't get stuck in a career/job that isn't right for you. It just only leads to problem, after problem. There is a whole world out there just waiting for someone to make a change and be happy.

Remember how fun it is when your on vacation and away from home. You miss the hell out of it when your back going through the same stuff. But you always remember you vacation. Why not just get up and go, make that change and find yourself being one w/ yourself and being placed in a good frame of mind. After you find out and understand your wants and needs, venture out and look for a location. Not too far north...it's cold....Not too far South....might get washed up in a hurricane....Not too far west....The cost of living will kill ya.......Not to far east..... you'll start to get old and mean real quick. Find that perfect spot that suites you and anyone else that is in your life. Find that natural spot where the weather is just right and environment is just smooth. Go out and get that job that you've always been looking for, research career, your job, your life, your future, and comfort zone. That's where you need to be and you'll find it in your world that is continuiously turning....and turning....and turning......

My Friends..... And Their Value

Friends= a : one attached to another by affection or esteem b : ACQUAINTANCE2 a : one that is not hostile b : one that is of the same nation, party, or group 3 : one that favors or promotes something (as a charity)4 : a favored companion.

"FRIENDS".....Something that we take 4 granted sometimes, the friends that we have now may not be the same friends that we have later. Sometimes friends are really what a lot of people have close to them vs. Family. Sometimes friends go and then come back. Sometimes friends call you when they need you, sometimes friends call only when they need you (There is a Difference people). Sometimes you don't talk to a friend for some time, then you get back in touch w/ them and it's like you never parted. The value of friendship is very important in each and everyone's lives. It's an important part in growning and understanding yourself and how to interact w/ others. If you don't understand yourself, you will never be able to maintain friendships longer than a week. You have to be able to relate to someone that isn't like you, that may think a different way, have differences of option. Having different likes, different dislikes, have different feelings! The world in which we live in is very special, may you believe it or not, there are people out there different than you. You have to understand that you need stay close to those you used to be close to. You need to call that friend that you haven't talked to in quite some time. See how that person is doing, see what they are up too. Find out if they are all right. I can tell you from experience, I try never to let a friend go. I try to contact them if it's been some time since the last time we spoke. I feel that in life as well as business, you friend might know someone or someone might know your friend. With that, many opportunities and paths may come out of it. I know that if you lose a friend, it's tough, but life must go on. But, you seem to care and want to have a relationship of some sort, try picking up the phone and dialing those digits. It really makes someone that isn't expecting it, feel really good! More on "The Value Of Friendships" later!!!

The Past Few Months!!!!

Well, readers....... There has been alot of things that has happened to me in the last few months. A lot of things that have changed my life around in every little way. Over the past 5 years, I have been working as a Pharmaceutical Rep. Working hard as one of the top salesman in the district, being the one that people looked up to. I have a selling style that others wanted, a personalilty that people craved for. I was good at what I did, I lived everyday to do my best and to make worth of myself. Then, one day, my manager who hired myself and others in my district. My friend, my mentor, my leader, decided that he was calling it quits. He had enough of what the people up above wanted him to do. He was tired of hearing about the same drug, nothing new, nothing to excite him or his team. He was done w/ the BS, and everything that comes w/ it!But wait....... There was something more to this sad story that made it worst. There was a buy out of a company called "CT", another pharmaceutical company in Oct. '04. There was something special, but also something wrong about this purchase. The people of "CT" really didn't like the changes, rules, regulations, or the people of "UCB". They really didn't take well to the changes that were about to take place! Then, the rule of the land came down, they wanted to make some changes. There were 2 many of them and 2 many of us to have a comfortable setting. So, like w/ any company or big business...."People got to go"! The bottome 10% of our company and the bottom 15% of there company. Also, if any Rep from "CT" overlaps w/ anyone from "UCB", they have to interview for that 1 position. It was nuts for about 3 months last year, not knowing when you were going to get that call from someone telling you either your still here or your gone.Needless to say, I wasn't part of that transaction, and really never planned on it. But, that's were things started to get alittle sticky, things got be alittle fishy. Our regional manager decided that he wanted a change of venue and moved closer to his home in baltimore. His position was filled by someone known for background in business plans, charts, extra work for all Reps. But, before you know it, we switched regions. We then fell in the worst situation of all. We now are in the region where the regional manager was from "CT", the company that we bought. Now, there were managers that were hired over "UCB" managers. It really wasn't going to be a good picture, but this is where things started to get really juicy.Back to my manager, he was w/ "UCB" for 14 years, 7 as a Rep and 7 as a manager. He was forced out by the new regional manager. His feeling were that his heart wasn't into it. That certainly wasn't the case, he was really into what he was doing. Our district had some problems w/ formulary status, but nothing to do w/ how he conducted business. He was something special to me as well as the individuals in my district. It was very sad to see him go, but it was something special that we had. In this case, it's true a manager can make or break you, as you will see find out. My old manager was replaced by a "CT" manager, once rep of my manager for 3 months. He was working as the manager of the Baltimore district for 6 months, prior to being placed in our district. It seem very odd to everyone that he hadn't moved from "WV" to be more closer to his district. But, then the set up was starting to fall into place. The regional manager and this new manager had a plan that was thought up the day company started to come as one. The regionl and the new manager were friends and thought that it would be something to force old manager to resign and place new one from the "CT" side in. At that time, we were all really unaware what was about to take place!In a span of about 2 months, things started to unfold for me, things that I really didn't think or amagin that would happen to me. I was in a position that put my job in jeoperdy. The new manager didn't like me from the second week and wanted to put me in the same place were my old manager is, "Home and Jobless". I was set up from day one and he wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible. But, he had nothing on me, nothing that could just get me packing. So, he decided to go back into calls that I made to physicians.CALLS= Making a presentation or speaking to a physician about the products promoted from the company.He wanted to catch me on something that made it seem like I was breaking the rules and regulations of the company.I will continue at a later time......... Some things just can't be said at this time!!
