In 2009 I planned to go to Momocon. A [free] anime convention in Atlanta, GA. After moving from Georgia (yet, again) I took measures to commandere reservations for night clubs & local dives, secure accomodations in the heart of Hotlanta, & even weaselled my way out of work to make absolutely sure my schedule was free for the totality of the convention.
And then the week of the 18th came around & I didn’t go back to Atlanta. In fact I cancelled all my plans for that week; eventually that month. Rather rash for the guy who wrote a book about anime conventions.
I decided (after more budget cuts than a benihana can shake a stick at) that if I’m going to wrap up all my financial issues for good & serious, then I’m going to have to continue to keep myself in check. It’s what most financial pros call, ‘making hard choices’. (Pfft! Story of my life..)
See I have this plan; a plan I took a really long time to put together; a plan that’s required more diliberation than any game of Monopoly; a plan to change the world & salvage my future. I knew it would work, and as I see the progress [continue to] unfold, I’m only futher justified. But I can’t afford to slip up, no matter how [f#$%ing] hawt the girl is, no matter how wonderful the con is [supposed to be], no matter how just a tiny bit more the extra thing is going cost. I have to remained disciplined, especially when things have only, really just begun. We haven’t even begun to start moving full steam ahead and start bringing out the heavy hitters.
So I sacrifice, and drudge onward. Pfft! Story of my life…
