Figuring it out. Part 1.

Horoscope says.

“You’re not making the headway you think you ought to be making, feeling confined you want to make some changes to your life. You need to pit the new ideas and plans you have into action. Don’t delay any longer, if you share your thoughts and ideas with those closest to you; You’re able to rely on their steadfast support for the future.”

How do I tell the story of a journalist that’s not very good at writing. Well I’m not exactly sure because that's my description and I really don’t know where to begin my story. I guess I’ll just start here.

My name is Antonio Cooper and I’m a guy from Detroit Michigan who graduated with a degree in journalism. Right now, I’m just Antonio Cooper, front desk agent at a 3-star mid-sized hotel. I certainly would like to be Antonio Cooper, journalist, but that’s looking more and more unlikely the more I grow in life.

Although I will admit, I’m trying to become a better writer. I’m trying to become a full-time writer but the opportunity just won’t fall in my lap. Maybe I don’t have the best credentials or the best attitude, or the best anything… But certainly I’m trying to become the best.

This is not a comedy or a fictional tale. This is a diary in the form of a blog post, where hopefully in the end, you’re entertained and I’m rich.

I want to explore every avenue that I can. I want to look into my flaws, my successes, what I deem important, and what I deem unnecessary. I want to look into it all and figure out what Antonio Cooper really is.

Well I guess if we should start anywhere it should be the reason I started this blog post in the first place.

If I’m being honest within myself, I have no idea why I’m writing this. Maybe it’s to show someone that a plan is in action even when you have no plan.

Maybe it’s to show myself that I have a journey even when I’m standing still.

I want to complete my belief that I’m always moving forward even when I may think otherwise is taking place.

At this current time, I’ve been out of school four years, I’ve been single for six years, I live in my sister’s basement and I barely have a vehicle. Things are not going as planned. Maybe this is the part where I make a smooth list of things I want and proceed to go get them. That would be the easier thing to do. So let's begin.

My ultimate goal is… Well to be happy.. But far more than that, I just want a ton of things. Happiness, success, success for those around me, a new car, a new place to live, a new girlfriend, a successful career, to start my career and make a good living off my career. I want all of these things, I believe each of which would contribute towards some form of happiness for me. This is what I want.

Lets end part one here. Here's a cute picture I guess.
