Before You Execute, You MUST Plan

It happens with all of us, at some time we get that great idea. Something we think that no one has ever came up with the idea about. Some times it haunts us for years, but we never act on it. Then one day while we are watching TV, or are walking down an isle in a store... We see what we had vision...on the shelves...looking right at us...and some one comes along and not buy one, but four of them.

Since I was off yesterday, so that left me some time to meet with a woman, Kim in person. A single mother of 5, not working because she was taking care of a sick parent who recently passed away. Though she was gone from the workforce for only 6 to 8 months, she told me that that was a little too long for where we live at. Her position was filled and now she has to wait to get back into the company. But in the man time, she has options that she wants to look in and do. Restate, and her own line of T-shirts, and she has shoes, dresses for women also. Some of the dresses I saw on her Facebook page, before even meeting her in person, I wanted to see her in. And I promise that if she wore these 2 outfits out with me, I would buy them for her. She said she would. But I was more focus on the t-shirts, that I know a lot about.

I know the whole process of putting your line of t-shirts out. From the design, to cutting the screens, marketing, colors...all of that. I know what it cost, and it depends on how many you want out there the first time out. The only thing is...most people do it for the money. I do it for the art. She doing it for the money, and has NO money to even start. What makes matters worst.. She talks a good game plan, but has no art work. She was the one who came to me about it, also, where we were to meet too. So, if you knew this at least 2 weeks in advance, how come you didn't, don't have any art work to show me. Any way, I started making calls back down to New York City. Found out that I can get a small U Haul size truck of cases of blank t-shirts. Seems the place I went to in the past was happy to be doing business with me again. But I told them I was just checking out his prices since it's been a couple of years since I last ordered. Said he can give me the first 3 truck loads at the last price I got from him, love this guy. Later today after work, I'm going to a couple of art stores here and see what their supplies are like, to see if they have what I need. I would dislike to have to order from New York City, but then again the product would be something I'm use to.

Now about Kim. She said about 45 minutes into our first get together, that she would NEVER get with a cigarette smoker. I don't understand this in THIS day and age. But hear this..she DOES smoke weed. Told me she is going to stop smoking by August 15th. She has only been smoking for about 5 years and I told her, she hasn't been smoking if its only 5 years. Dark skinned beauty is what I called her. I'm 5'11", and she fits right underneath my chin with about an inch and a half of room to spare. She is into walking, and I guess she weighs about 120 pounds, nice thighs. She was wearing not sweatpants, but athletic pants that I swear...I'm going to put a picture with this post of what her butt looked like. Its not a picture of her, but it comes very close.

Her bottom was just a little smaller than the one above, but this is what it looked like...I swear. She also went on to say, with her in these pants, that she hasn't had sex in 5 years. It's not like she hasn't had offers, but after 5 kids, she said her 'cookie' is going to a man who earns it. That means to me, if your pockets are phat, then maybe... I wanted to comment on what she said, but its her body and her mouth and she has every right to set a standard. But I did tell her about The Man up above, and she did catch on to what I was saying. 'If you think that your body will get you what you want, why not go all out then? Its what's in your heart because The man up there knows, and He isn't going to let you go forward if you don't at least meet Him half way. You focusing on what another man can do for you, will have very few willing to do for you if you're not at least trying to do for yourself. 5 kids, different father, who wants an already made family in this day and age, times are hard as you can see.' I saw that look in her eyes, and she understood. Plus I told her, I smoke cigarettes, so you can't have none of me, so stop begging.

We sat there for over 3 hours talking about everything about each other. True, I would love to see her naked, I'm STILL a man, but for now she will be a friend. But she knows. She gave me about 3 hugs before we parted and I told her damn, what are you trying to do, pickpocket me? She said no, from the first time we met, after the handshake, we hugged, and I got this feeling when I hugged you. So these 3 more hugs were to see if I got the same feeling, which I did. I asked what was the feeling. She said I'm not going to lie, what it would feel like you holding me with no clothes on. I ask did she really want to know, all she has to do is call me. She then gave me her home number and told me to call her later on that night. I did, and she asked me how would I get out to her place and did I have a bike. I told her no, but it's arriving in the mail this week and to hold on to that feeling. Said she will and can't wait.

Friends first and then...
