Here’s my life story in a very small nutshell: Lived in Hawaii all my life, my Dad left my mom when I was in the third grade, the only child, never had a grandpa or grandma in my life, no relitives in Hawaii cause my mom is from Japan and my dad is from Arizona, stayed home alone since the 4th grade(mom had to make $$$ for us) mom on welfare w/2 jobs, mom re-married a drunk, my dad left to the mainland when I was entering high school, I ran away from home at 16 and never went back, I droped out of high school, I got in trouble with the law, experimented all types of drugs, started going to church at 21, lived the lifestyle for 7yrs full on hardcore, got my G.E.D (High School Diploma) at 21, Applied for college and got accepted at the University of Hawaii, had no sex for 7yrs while going to church(I was serious about living the word not just going to church) I led a teen ministry of a group of about 90, preached at many church services to over 400 people, my girlfriend at church cheated on me when she went to the philiphines (she had sex with someone, yup that frekin sucked! ) I was doing it God’s way and was waiting for marrige and it just didn’t work, before going to church I would use girls and I guess it was payback. I broke up with her when she told me, stoped going to church but learned a lot in the 7yrs, still believe in God just not attending church, stopped going to college to learn about mortgages, currently a loan officer, I have one and a half years left of school to get my degree( double major Sociology & History) not sure what I would use it for, found my soulmate, we bumped into eachother 4 times in one month before I asked her on a date, we now have a beautiful daughter named Ava, She is 18 months, we live with my best friend in a big house but we need to get our own place soon, I make decent money but it’s not consistant and it hurts when i’m not closing loans, also the market is bad right now! At this very moment I have $30,000 in debt, school loans, credit cards and the like, I have only $600 to my name in my savings until my next check, yea I guess my life is not anywhere near where it should be at 31yrs old but I guess if you lived in my shoes you would understand.
I have many hobbies and have become really good at a lot of them…magic, poker, shooting pool, all sports, blogging of course, and my newest hobbie as of today working out. Not to brag but I can usually learn things really quick and become real good at it. I guess it’s because growing up I had to learn things on my own and I was always striving to be the best at what I did. I know a big reason why I havent succeeded in life was because I had no example to follow, no role model, no teacher and now I have to try and make up for lost time!
This blog is going to be very interesting for me because i’m letting everything out. What do I mean? I’m going to share with you all my struggles and victories as I try to reach my goal of fortune or fame. I will let you in my life and open up about my daily hardships in the areas of finances, fitness, relationships, and whatever I may be feeling at the moment. I hope that some of you find this blog interesting and hope that I can inspire you by my quest for Fortune or Fame!
What do I mean by Fortune of Fame?

I will learn new things about myself, and learn from other bloggers success stories. Mabey it will lead me to new endeavors like a career change, mabey a career blogging, who knows? I don’t even really know right yet!
Fame: Mabey people will be interested in what I have to say and mabey I can give some hope for others who may be stuggling in life as well. Mabey I can become an A-list blogger, mabey I can get a book deal, mabey I can star in a movie, mabey I can be somewhat famous in your eyes!
