I guess this is something worth sharing. One of my best friends from elementary school has just enrolled into the military about a year ago. He has always wanted to be successful like I was, and make money like I did. He has always wanted to do projects with me, and so forth. Of course there wasn't, and not much I could really do since most people don't do what I do on the internet. Everyone I know wants to be like me because of what I have done, they think they can just hop on board, and just start making money from the internet. I am not trying to be cocky or flatter myself, but it's something I have noticed from most individuals that approach me with an idea. (Anyone can do anything, I am just saying people that I know always pitch an idea like I want to build a website with you, let's do it!)
Now that my old friend is in the military, he's bigger, he is more arrogant and cocky than ever, and basically has his head up his ass. He has always been a mean person inside actually, but this just made him even more mean now. I know they say the military changes people, but not for the better apparently. It's hard for me to respect someone who uses the military as a crutch, and he constantly uses it against me saying he is a "better" person, and that I have done nothing with my life except FAIL? Now just a few days before he had to depart to Afghanistan, and right after our GET RICH and move to Los Angeles dreams, he found out he got his girlfriend pregnant. Now they are married. (Now I am sorry, I can understand where some of his anger comes from) Well let's recap the conversation he had with my friend Jamie Jones about me.
Okay, let me explain how the positive like myself think, and how the 9-5 negative think. A few notes before I explain what is going on here. Before he departed to Afghanistan, we hung out back in March, so about 9 months ago. He constantly said when he gets back he will have a lot of money, and he wants to start a company and invest together, and I said Okay, deal." We were pretty close friends, but we have definitely had our share of bumps in the road with women. Not really small bumps either. But, we just let bygones be bygones. Over the course of the next 9 months he would casually call me and Facebook chat me from Afghanistan throughout the months, just chit chatting back and forth about life, investing, and how everything is out there.

January 10, 2010Damn idiot... hey, at last you got rid of him now for all... Forget the guy and keep going! Lots of people are watching you get back up. Will Smith did it (lost lots of money young, just like you) and look where he is now!
Good luck

January 13, 2010"not envious" anonymous poster . = name omitted. I'm going to have to agree with Andrew here.. he has done nothing but help you for the past 5 years... I'm still your friend, but shit man... all this talk... I can't help but side with Andrew.
-- Andrew, work on the hook for this write-up. At first glance I wasn't too interested. Otherwise good read. Helps knowing both parties personally
Yours truly,
