2019 Is Coming

I Am Reorganizing My Life.
Finding out things about why I am at the point I am.
Things have changed since I last posted here.
My story is terrible, boring, and only just beginning.
If I can help at least one person to not go the routes I have,
then hell will have been worth it.

I'm thinking about starting a youtube series about life.
It will be divided between four topics:

Massive Weight Loss.
Working Class Economics 101.
My Personality Disorder.
Art, Poetry, Politics, Retirement Investing, Rookie Investing, Etc.

I'm nervous and anxious...and ready to go.

Linked items are things I like, have used, or am recommending to you.  If you want to help me on my journey, click the link and make a purchase if you were going to anyway.  Billy is a badass, though.  My copy is on its way as I type.  Down For Life since '94.

More soon.
