And soon we shall be back in business

Anyone remember the sweet deal made at the end of Boiler Room? Total Immunity! He provides everything, all the records, their client lists, their set ups, banking, everything, even where they go after the Feds come down on them. Always loved that movie. If you haven’t seen it, I implore you to watch it. That’s true ALPHA: closing down the casino to run big ticket scams on others, all the while Al Capone goes to jail over something silly like Tax Evasion. How do masterminds get away with so much and yet get taken down for Tax Evasion? Baffles the mind.
Anyway: Boiler Room. Great movie
Every year I spend about $800 on fireworks to celebrate this great nations birthday, even though the obamanation is attempting to destroy US. Yesterday I went to a new fireworks tent set up across the street from Jake’s Fireworks World, where I buy from each year. This lady was super-nice but her prices were double and triple what Jake charges. She was adamant that she had great pricing and wasn’t coming down. My recourse was to leave and not buy from her, so that’s exactly what I did.
I’ve been pursuing other avenues of revenue and have cut back on the hours to only full-time (40 hours) rather than the 70 hours I have been working. Too many other ways for me to make money and opportunity doesn’t pay the bills so I was a little hesitant about buying these fun little explosives in the first place. I decided that I wasn’t going to stop being positive and living my life as awesome as I always have. There are plenty of ways that I have to make money and now that I am focusing more on them I am already seeing dividends. There are times I just need to remind myself that my loyalty is always first and foremost to myself. Been there and done that with CDG and look where they are now.
I went over to Jake’s and as always made a deal. I would get the BIG BANG (A $1200 assortment) for half price, plus a couple of hundred dollars worth of other goodies all for $650 plus tax. Right within what I planned to spend. Jake himself made the deal and when he went to charge my card he accidentally refunded me $750 instead of charging me. Unbeknown to me, he then charged my card the $750 to even out the charges, but we all know refunds can take 3-10 days to post back. Well then he went and tried to charge my card the $750 again for the works, but by this time the bank suspected fraud and froze my account.
He was very honorable about it and tried to call his merchant services but couldn’t get anywhere. Then he kind of gave up and was like I loose a sale and you don’t have any fireworks. Like no freaking way do I save all year for this one little vice of mine and then walk away empty handed and to boot he wanted me to sign the sales slip. Imagine being asked to sign a sales receipt for $750 and have nothing to show. No way!
I called my bank and after going back and forth for about two hours we finally got his bank to cancel the entire transaction and this allowed me to not leave empty handed. I ended up spending about $350 for $1400 worth of fireworks which a very cool Jake doubled and made my day. It was a mistake and and I told him there was no need to do that at all. As long as we straightened it out, but he was insistent. Jake’s fireworks World on Hwy 51 in Atoka, TN is the absolute most honorable guy and a true gentleman.
It reaffirms my belief in the Law of God’s Universe. I didn’t give up and through a bit of positive energy I got the greatest deal and saved a bunch of money.
Happy 233 Birthday USA. I love this great country.

I just heard a funny thing, literally like just this minute. Someone actually thinks my David Carradine post was about anything other than what it clearly states. There are bad people and if we all work together to expose them the world would be a better place. Not sure how that associates with them or their purported gripes its about something that they think its about, but that comes from vanity.
It always amazes me when people try and decipher words rather than just read them for what they are. I will say this though, this is the JunkyFungus blog. If you don’t like it your only option is to NOT read it. Really that simple! Friends can be more dangerous than enemies…
I’m headed to paradise for a couple of weeks. No MacBook, no IPhone, no connection with the angry people of the world. Only love and light, happiness and peace. I am also glad that through open, honest communication people can make another connection.

I didn’t want to do it and for the longest time I didn’t bother, but if you read my last post you know that I am pushing towards making my first million dollars this year. Although I do believe the universal laws will fall into effect and the world will unfold before me with boundless opportunity, I also realize that I need to take the steps necessary and ensure I am heading in the right direction. My vibrational energy has been a bit low because, well because, I have been worried about not achieving my goal.
I’ve noticed some correlations in life that cannot be misconstrued as mere coincidence. I know that lately I have felt a bit alone in my quest, as if I am the only one in the world who understands me. This feeling has permeated my mood and lately my friends have suddenly been away thus causing me to be alone. There are times I feel like going out to the bar or Beale Street, but no one is around to go so I reluctantly stay in and end up being alone. Of course my girlfriend is around and I do lo, lov, er umm lo, lo, lo, err like her a real lot:), but now lately she has been going to family and friends away as well. When you feel lonely you will end up being lonely.
The next equation comes from feeling broke. I’m not sure why, perhaps its a lack of water, but lately I have felt tremendously low on the financial scale. With these feelings comes the very real reality that things are hitting hard financially right now. I feel like I am under a mountain of debt and because I am feeling this way, it is coming to be that way. Extenuating circumstances have caused my consulting fees to be delayed on several occasions, not a big deal in its own right, but all the same adding to the feeling of ill-will towards a very manageable situation.
When my mother died it left me $16000 in credit card debyt and every month I pay close to $600 to help pay it off. My ultimate goal is to pay about $2000 a month to eliminate it all together. My school loans are down to only $4000 and other than a few miscellaneous other bills there’s really not much. Heck the house is paid off, but I never imagined myself living in this house. It was bought to provide residual rental income and now I live there with me father. I have lived alone from my father since I was 17 and joined the US Army. I find it extremely difficult to live there in that house and at times I think about getting an apartment. I mean I am willing to move out of my own home to an apartment, you know its got to get under my skin, and it does!
He’s not really a bad guy, but the house is just to small. It would be OK for a couple, or single person, but not son and dad. Did I mention that his compulsive behavior to collect has me extremely worried. I tried to get my summer clothes out of our attic and it is filled top to bottom with junk. I’m not talking junk that you can turn around and sell, but junk that people toss away to Goodwill just to get rid of. In Memphis there is a Goodwill outlet store. This basically means that Goodwill cant sell it in there second hand store, so they bring it out in big giant carts filled with junk into the outlet store. It started as a hobby for dad, just so he could get out and do something, but now its bordering mental illness. He is bringing home only a few bags a week, but the problem with that is there is no outlet to get rid of it. So it packs into the attic, under the beds, in the closets, anywhere there is space and even where there is none to be found. It piles up, more and more until finally someone has to do something about it.
The last couple of years he would have a garage sale, but that’s come to pass as well. They are so much work and take so much time and effort they just are not worth it. Finally after the last time he came to the same conclusion after prepping for a full two weeks and then a full three days of hard-work and not making more than $500 after expenses. I apologize for the rant, but its my blog so tough crap! Deal with it.
I really don’t mind him living with me, but I need my space and I want a BIG house with a restaurant quality kitchen, swimming pool, jacuzzi, big old yard, deck, lots of rooms, basically a mansion. I am unable to do that at this stage unless something changes. Oh and I want a new M6 BMW with the V12, but I can’t without having a garage with plenty of space for all my toys. I like my toys.
The reason I say all this is because I am on the path and I am now monetizing my life. Read, enjoy
I’ve been doing it, I really have. I think it took some awful intense times in my life, but I have said enough is enough and made the change. I ask myself whenever I do something now is it going to take me towards my goals. I am eating healthy, exercising and on the path to self-reliance through health. I finally figured it out that I needed to hit rock bottom before I could start climbing back out. I hit that rock bottom and now the climb is in full momentum. One step following another and it takes me forward on the path to my goals.
I know the direction I must go, and I am on the path, but the question now comes up with other things. Am I in the right forest? Sure I am heading in the right direction but this compels me to ask myself where else I need to make the changes that will ultimately lead me in the direction of my goal.
In the beginning of this year I set a goal that I would make my first million dollars and somehow I seem ever distant from achieving that goal. I know the universe is supposed to unfold before me and my job is not to limit the universe presenting that goal to me, but I also know that I am supposed to focus on achieving that goal. This is where currently I am struggling. How is it I am supposed to be focused on that goal driving myself ever closer when things around me get tougher and tougher.
With my health I know how to achieve it. I can control the foods I eat, the exercise I do, the lifestyle I choose, but with finances it seems so much more impossible, especially when things are not where they need to be. The economy sucks and it is directly affecting my lifestyle. With everything that’s happening I have to ask myself if staying the course is going to pull me away or help me achieve that success I desire.
I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this?

Before I begin my blog post I will apologize to everyone for not keeping this up as much as I would like too. I’ve been super busy with work. I have been traveling the country doing an interview series which will be released soon enough. Once it becomes public, I will have more freedom to talk about it. I can’t say much other than it involves some very famous people and me interviewing them.
It’s difficult when you can’t talk about what you do. Although many, many people know me from PheroTalk, many more will son know me. My life is about to become public. I know, for me, growing up I always thought maybe I’d like to be famous, but it’s happening and its weirding me out a little. OK a whole lot!
I admit that it is very cool in its own attributes, but on the same token having people recognize you wherever you go is odd in itself. Normally when I go somewhere I usually end up going out and meeting people by chatting them up. I’m extroverted so talking to people is fun to me. Lately I have been recognized by people wherever I go. Now on the one hand its cool especially when its a babe, but on the other hand its weird having people want to take a picture with me.
What’s weird about it is lately I have been experimenting with Oxytocin “the trust hormone” and yet I find myself more trusting of my own instincts. So my instincts have been telling lately that some of these “new friends” are actually trying to use me for information, or trying to get close to the people I know. I don’t like fake people. Do you?
So I guess I am having an internal struggle over this new identity and how it will impact my life. I have been getting into some really cool clubs and meeting celebrities on the reg, but it will take some getting used too.

I went, on Friday August 17, to The Berry Group for a sales profiler test. It seemed like a pretty strait forward exam asking typical sales situations and how you would react. There were several mathematical sales performance graphs as well. I believe I did very well on it. I asked the receptionist how I did and her response was that if I was filling out an application then I did well.
She said that anyone who does not score well is told that if anything opens up for them they would let them know. Since I was still there it was a good sign. I went to their website and investigated the company a bit more. I must admit I am happy that they are interested in me. They offer fantastic benefits and pay. I would certainly be an asset to their organization. With fifteen years sales experience and a field of excellence in the type of industry they are I feel they would be more than compensated by taking me on as an employee.
Just a quick post on my latest career advice.
