The Same Ole' Story

A few years have passed and it seems a waste not to continue my story. The Pickup Artist is retired but the love of the fine life has not.


I've met a wonderful girl, adopted a dog, and have steadily built on my knowledge of money. I ask patience as more of my story will come but not without first enjoying a nice bowl of Chicken Pho Soup.

Thanks for reading, we'll catch up soon.

The End of Gucci

I will no longer add any posts on this Blog.

This is the end of this story and the final post.

Prodigal Son

I'll always remember the bright sunny days. The greatest thing that I have felt is the warm sun on my skin.

It's so surprising to me how a person can try to change so many things about himself and yet there are some qualities about him that will always define him. When I met Zach, Glenn, Greg, and Cash I expected my character to change. I expected to become a great Pick Up Artist, to fornicate with many women, to live in excess and change myself. Funny thing is since that time I have not reached any of those goals.

The only thing I have done during that time is neglected my spiritual growth. My spirituality and love of God is where I have always found comfort, peace, strength, and my purpose in life.

So it came that when I had to confess all of the negligences that I had commited during the past year I had to make a choice. The choice was, continue pursuing the pleasures of the world or walk with the Lord.

And so I choose to live a spiritual life. With that choice I choose to live a life without Strip Clubs, pornography, drinking liquor to the point of intoxication, fornication with random women, and manipulating women.

The truth is the great joy and confidence which you all have criticized me for lacking has not been for the pursuits of the world.

Let my life be a testament to proclaiming your greatness my Lord.

The Blonde in the Red Dress


Last night I decided to do alittle socializing for Fat Tuesday-Mardi Gras.

But before heading downtown I watched the movie "Crash." Alot of people have recommended the movie and I finally decided to see it. I was really moved by the plot and I was reminded of how blessed I am. Great movie but not as good as "The Protector" now that's a good movie though the beginning is kind of boring.

So after watching "Crash" I headed Downtown to mingle with the people at Brooks. I used the party to get my name out there and get to know the people who live in the building alittle better. Needless to say I was surprised at how much dirt I got from all of the people I spoke with about other certain people in the building. There was even time to trade some hillarious stories like the Fat Naked Hairy Man running in one of the hallways.

Now eventhough alot of the crowd was over 40 it was still enjoyable to hear about their professions and their life experiences, like having spouses who fought in WWII or fleeing the former Yugoslavia when the Civil War began.

Afterwards I headed to Lyme to meet Cash and Zach who were celebrating Zach's supervisor's birthday. I was considering drinking that night but decided not to. I really wasn't going to get wasted and then try and make it to work at 6AM the next day, worst times ever.

Cashie caught me up on the gossip while Zach told me about his misadventures up in the slopes that day. While we were talking I noticed a very attractive blonde standing up to put on her coat. She was tall, slender, classy, arrogant, and proud. I was very smitten by her and I couldn't help but admire the sight of her.

Of course I wasn't the only one checking her out, at least half of the bar was checking her out. What was funny was the fact that I knew that none of those guys had the balls to go up to her and talk to her. Yes, I am known for taking up the most challenging situations and going in to talk to a bombshell anywhere and anytime.

The approach really doesn't affect me much because I don't really have qualms about getting up and performing in front of people. The thought of going over to that blonde and introducing myself was on my mind and I was on the edge of my seat. She is the type of girl I want to marry. I did not go over and talk to her but what happened was that it reignited my desire for the conquest. To once again go up to the hottest girl in the room and charm her like I used too. It never dawned to me that what really excited me about going out a long time ago was the adventure of talking to the hottest girl at the bar or club. The one that every other guy except for the Alpha males would be scared too even look in her direction. I wanted to go over to talk to her more than I can even describe.

I made a promise to Cash that I would go out with the boys this weekend to socialize. I'm excited to go out there again and mix things up.

Best line ever:

You're not going to get too horny if you stand next to me are you?

My Children


Last Sunday was the first time I had gone back to Church with my family in seven months. I truly needed this and I'm glad that I made the effort to go.

That day I also went for a run, thank God. I felt heavy though which is not normal for me because I love to run. Regardless, I figured my muscles are probably getting used to running again. I loved the run and I always feel free whenever I'm out on the road. For me everything melts away when I'm running, all of the hassles, troubles, and worries seem to disappear as only the path in front of me is important.

I was amazed at how many children there were at Mass that Sunday. I had forgotten how promising the future can be, after all one day i will have children of my own. I truly believe that will be the greatest gift I can give my parents, sometimes I laugh at the thought of my children running around my parents house asking my mother and father for candy or money.

I'm a very blessed person to have parents who have been married for 26 years. And I truly love them eventhough sometimes I can be selfish and closed off from them.

Regarless, after Church my parents and I drove to one of my aunt's for lunch. It had been at least a year since I had visited my aunt's family, and I was shocked to see how big some of my younger cousins had grown. I was happy to see that some of my other cousins that were my age already had young children.

I spent alot of time catching up with all of my family and of course sharing some of my adventures from the year past. That time spent also made me realize why my ambition to be a World Renowned Architect and Entrepeneur is so important. I'm also sad to think that out of all of my cousins I'm the only one who has ever gone to college. Which is why I feel that the promise of my success is so much more important for the many other people in my family. At least they can never say that it is impossible to go to school, earn a degree and have financial wealth.

I think that really sets me apart from alot of my friends. And it also makes it harder for me because as much as I would like to be passive in my approach to my goals I know that I can't fail my family. Someday I will be the man that they will all look up to because I will set the bar for every person coming from my family.

Yes I have big goals to attain and so far what I have achieved has not been matched by anyone else, and I still have so much more to go. I love my family and I'm blessed to have so many people to support me, so as i say why not dream big.

Returning to Joy


For the last two years I have been missing something, and I've tried to fill it with a great many things.

Ten years ago I could remember being full of joy and love. But ever since that time I have allowed the worries of life to tie me down. If you have ever asked me which animal I identify with the most I would answer the Horse. It is the one animal that I admire and hold deep in my heart. I greatly admire its ability to be free and independent.

Ten years ago I had found the Lord and that was the reason why I choose to follow the path of religion. Ten years ago I would have gladly given up everything to serve God. Whether it would be family, money, freedom, life, friends, or ambition I was ready to trade it all to Serve the community.

But although my desire was true it was not meant to be my calling in life. It was a statement inside that led me to the path of having a family. I'm known to be a romantic and I await the day when I can share my love and life with a woman who will love me for who I am.

Since the last two years I have been away from God exploring the things which I would have once stayed away from, the Strip Clubs, drugs, heavy drinking, debauchery, and a lack of communion. This was my time to grow, to see the worst that the world could offer and realize that even in the multitude of all of those things I could never find happiness and peace.

And although I have enjoyed the many late nights at clubs, bars, Strip Clubs, and After Hours parties I have never truly found any peace. This is the third time that I have stated this and I will state it again, I'm through with the party scene.

Over the last month many people have told me that there is something different about me, I don't emit the same energy that I once used to. The funny thing is that I don't feel any difference in who i am. My theory is that I've grown up and ready to pursue other things like a great career.

And in doing so I have to focus on my goals in life. I'm 28 years old right now I will not be in the same state ten years later I promise you that. If I will ever be the man that I see myself as I must now focus on my dreams.

In ten years I will have:

A successful Engineering/Architecture firm
A home in New York City
A beautiful wife and two children
An abundance of investments in Stocks, Bonds, Foreign Investments, and an increasing Roth IRA
A Red Ferrari
A closet full of Hugo Boss suits, Giorgio Armani shirts, Dolce & Gabbana shirts, Etro suits, Gucci shoes, Just Cavalli shirts, Versace coats and freshly pressed Ralph Lauren polos
A strong knowledge of both written and spoken Spanish, Italian, Japanese, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, and English
A personal driver
A large office overlooking a busy city view
A Muscular and Slender physique

It is one thing to say these things and a different thing to do them. I'm bored with the way my life has been going lately, I'm ready to pursue the real challenges in life. And who can say what I can or can't achieve?

Quitting the Boss


Today was the day I resigned from the Boss.

It was not easy coming to this decision. Stay at Brooks or keep the Boss, it was debated for at least a month. Finally, one day I realized that what I want most in life neither job will ever offer me.

What I want is to be an Engineer, my dream is to design building, bridges and roads. My ambition and desire is to own my own Construction Firm. Only by having that will I be happy.

And how can I achieve that? Only by going back to school. At this time in my life Brooks is the best choice for me. It's closer to my home and also closer to campus. The hours are fantastic and the job is not very stressful.

Boss on the other hand would be random hours and no consistent days off. It is farther from my home and campus and I would have to always be on the ball.

Of course working at the Boss would mean more money. But it will not be the best for studying.

I remember talking to Zach about the want of money. I had stated to him that money was my passion, I wanted to make alot of money and have alot of money. This was why I kept two jobs, the love of money. Yet with as much money as I was making I was not smart enough to save it.

Well, kudos to Zach for telling me that the hunger for money is not everything in life. This helped me realize that without a degree in Engineering I would have to work two jobs all of my life to live my posh lifestyle. Which would mean no friends, no family, and no leisure time. Frankly I got to the point where I finally understood that money is not the most important thing in life. And I would gladly trade my two jobs now for one great career.

I can't express my gratitute to the GM at the Boss. Truly one of the few supervisors that's not two faced. I can honestly say that I respect him and admire him for his wisdom. Yes, he made his effort to keep me on and requested that I think about my decision for a few days. But he already knew what my answer would be.

This left me with the curiousity of whether the Supervisor at Brooks would be this curteous with me if I told him that I was going to take a job elsewhere. The whole event made me think of King Solomon's judgement over the two women fighting over what they claimed was their true son. In the end King Solomon's judgement was to cut the child in half, a halve would be given to both women. Of course the true mother gave up the child rather than see it killed. I wonder if this too is like that story, for which of my two bosses would rather see me happy rather than be bitter and hateful if I resigned.

Regardless, I have until Saturday to give my final decision to the Boss at the Boss. If I leave it will be the first time I have left a job where I have truly enjoyed my time. To my friends there and the management and all of the great clients I have ever had. Thank you for the good times, it may be over?

I am grateful to God because I had two great jobs to choose from. Nevertheless this will be the sacrifice I will make to achieve even greater things in the future.

First Post of the Rest of My Life


First,


Forgive me for the long absence, and thank your for the interest in my adventures.

As many of you know lately I've been more focused on working than actually living. But there are stories, believe me and pictures and videos as well.

But for now I'll leave you with this. The gay guy I was hanging out was getting too needy so I told him to back off, if you needed to know I don't like the cock, seriously.

The boys and I headed to Phoenix last weekend to drink and party. I skipped work because frankly I needed the time off. And it was great except for a few misadventures, wink wink Cash having an accident on the plane and Glennifer not bringing dress shoes.

Phoenix was cool, the clubs were bountiful and the women bounciful.

More to come, patience. And I've started an account on Fling.com where I'm already being propositioned for naughty deeds by the ladies.
