First of all - times surely does fly. Happy Holidays all.
Where have I been? I've been BUSY! There's always so much to do and so little time do it in. I'm still a very much vibrant 20-something too - so I've gotta have a social life, right? Well, I haven't had much of those lately either.
Today is a good day to blog! I'm doing my first TweetDay. It's where I tweet the hell outta of my day w/pics of every step of the way. A few people asked me to do it so they could see what actually goes on in my day. It's really not that interesting to me - but, oh well, I give the peoples what they want.
You can check out my Tweet page to follow the action. Or, if you're a friend of mine on Facebook you can follow there too! It's where all the cool kids hang out!
What's also cool is that while I'm on this quest to become a millionaire before I turn 30, I realize that many people don't really know me. I mean, you get a sense of who I am through my crazy status updates and tweets that I send. But in all reality, many people don't really KNOW ME per se. So, I decided to do a list of 50 things about Darius...in no particular order.
You ready?
1. I love to eat.
2. Food means more to me than just getting full.
3. Food is a way of life. It's a lifestyle.
4. I'm really picky about the things that I eat.
5. I have a eating style.
6. It's life fashion...but it's all about food.
7. For example, I MUST have ketchup on a ground beef taco.
8. But I don't need it on a steak taco.
9. And I think tacos taste better with processed American cheese.
10. And sour cream too.
11. If I have a touch of ketchup, I wouldn't be mad.
12. I have horrible sinus issues in the morning.
13. I sound like Darth Vader when I first speak in the morning.
14. Mucinex DM has become my BFF - like for real.
15. I can eat chicken wings every day...for every meal.
16. I think it's a cultural thing.
17. I prefer different sauces though.
18. That's where my food style comes in.
19. I love a sweet & spicy combination.
20. I'm referring to food - lol
21. I own my own business.
22. It still hasn't sunk in just yet.
23. I've got so much more to accomplish though.
24. I wish more people would think with an entrepreneurial mindset.
25. I'm not racist at all, but #24 especially goes for Black people and minorities.
26. I wouldn't have believed in it so much if I was still working.
27. Obama says small business ownership is the way to the future...and I believe him.
28. I tend to almost believe everything Obama says.
29. I'm not a very religious person.
30. Spiritual yes. Religion, not so much.
31. In the end, if you preach Protestantism and we have dinner after church, I'm all good.
32. This isn't my first crack at being an entrepreneur.
33. I used to do graphic design. I was never that good or made much money.
34. Then there was the consulting business for ministries. What was I thinking?
35. The flyers were hot though.
36. I did some catering...but catering bores me.
37. I like cooking - but not when other people want me to all the time.
38. Cupcakes. That still baffles the hell outta me.
39. That's how I know God has a sense of humor.
40. God and I are real close. We IM each other all the time. I wish he was on Twitter though.
41. I'm not close with my mother.
42. People think I am because I tend to be so down to earth.
43. LOL @ down to earth. Aren't we all "down to earth." Who's "up to space?"
44. I wish our relationship was closer, but I've resolved it probably never will be.
45. I've forgiven her for all she did to me.
46. I miss my grandmother all the time.
47. She never really saw me mature. I was still a young nut acting a fool when she died.
48. I wonder if she'd be proud.
49. Someone asked me in my Honest Box if I was really happy.
50. For one of the first times in my life, I can honestly say I am.

Awwwww thanks for sharing Darius! I'm hoping and praying that 2010 is a better year for me cause I'm ready to leave 2009 behind and i won't look back!!!
I'm sure your grandmother would be very VERY proud!!! :-)
Did you know just about half of those were about food???? lol
Half of these were about food. Now that's funny - I did that and I didn't even try. I bet if I sat down and tried to figure out if I should do one about food and actually did it I would never be able to do it about food...go figure.
I love the 50 things....but rest assured that you are making your grandmother proud.
I've said it once and I'll say it again--you are the true example of getting out your dream. Nobody can EVER say to me with a straight face that they have a dream but don't know how to make it happen. If they do, I'm giving them your name, address, number, and website and tell them to go see about it.
Cuz you my friend, are about your BUSINESS!!!
I love knowing you, having met you and look forward to our wonderful future together.
My Granny never saw me mature either but rest assured BOTH our Grandmothers are very proud!
Yes, God has a sense of humor. He has placed you exactly where you need to be.
I'm thinking of attending the Chicago Salsa Congress. Rest assured I will not leave there until I say hello and fill up on cupcakes, LOL! ;-)
