Singing Playing Gigging

Just did a gig with Craig Brown called Kevins Kause, a benefit for a 27 year old with testicular cancer.  I didn't play real well with the band but it was good to be on stage again, it made me feel good in many ways and significant again.  I should do more gigging.

Still Thinking A Career In Security

Work in this field, become an expert in security for your home and business.  Also personal security, how to protect yourself from attack. 

Work within the field and have my own business on the side, then eventuall, quit the job and work completely on my own security business, providing security services, training and products.

This will allow me to be free from personal fear and have fun learning and doing it.

This will also allow me to be involved in a career I have a genuin interest in and need for.

Further research in the field will be required at this point.

I Care The Most About Animals

I care the most about animals.  I think I would like to work in this field but in a manner other then hands on as I love them, want to help them, spend time with them, give money to them but don't enjoy handling them when they are in need of medical care, that I would rather have a professional do so I know they will be properly cared for.
So where do I fit in?  That's not clear yet, I have to do some research but I do know, I want to help animals more then anything else, that's where my heart is and cats seem to be my favorite.  I've been looking at houses to purchase and find myself more interested in the cats and other animals the owners have in the house then I am of the house itself.  The Realtor is trying to sell me a house and all I care about is getting to know the cats that live there.  I also love to pet sit for cats, I love to make cats happy and see that they are safe and cared for and have a home and excellent medical care.  I want to know all I can to help my cat live as long and happy a life as is possible.

Unfocused Confused But Still Keeping My MInd on The Target

I am all over the place it seems with what area to get into, animals, security, online, offline, music, I don't know.  I know I don't want to be on the road, I know I want to do work that's important to me and serves the greater good.  I care the most about animal, I'm also very entertained and intrigued by them, however, don't know my place within that field, if nothing else, I could make money and fund organizations that help animals.  Freedom from fear (being actually afraid for my life) is a definite goal, I need to know all about guns, pepper spray, etc., and the laws governing them.  I would love to have security camera's proximity detectors, etc., watching my house at all times.  That's all I have for now.

Feedom From Fear; My Latest Idea

Currently I am putting most of my efforts into finding a home to purchase as news of the housing market is very poor, I'm almost afraid to buy at this point.  I still like the idea of selling security and surveillance items via the net and offline as well, security is freedom from fear and that's my latest idea.  I want these items myself, I believe in them and have a real need for them.  I also need specialized cat items such as a special cat door for the patio slider but they are really expensive, about $200.00 I believe I should be able to get them cheaper then that and offer them to people like me who have the need but not that much money.

Sell Or Create And Sell Outdoor Habitats For Cats

Outdoor habitats for cats, allows them to enjoy the outdoors while keeping them safe.  I think these are a great idea, I would love to have one.  Only downside, is there price is high, I guess they are targeted to people with lots of money.  I need to do more research and if there are none available for a fair and reasonable cost, perhaps I can make one that is, market and sell it!

I can sell these and security products on as well as off-line!

Write About and Teach Electricity/Electronics Basics

Here are some examples of the information I could include:

Basic Electronics/Electricity:

Most of your electronic gadgets run on DC, your stereo, TV, computer, etc.

Your home appliances like your dishwasher, clothes washer, oven, blender, microwave, toaster work off of AC.

DC is the same as a battery.


What is DC?
What is AC?

The electrical outlets in your home are AC, how do my electronic guismoes work when I plug them into an AC outlet?

What is ground, line, hot, neutral?

What are volts and amps?
What are circuit breakers and fuses?
Wire gauges and amps/volt ratings.
What is a coil?
What is a capacitor?
What is a resistor?

How does a light switch work?

What does frequency mean?

Sensors

Seloids

Heat sinks

Silicon

Cool stuff!

Make a simple electronic gadget or circuit.

I Just Love Animals

 Just Love Animals, I visit the animal rescue site everyday and love to see the pics and stories of animals that were saved, adopted and now living great lives, some even work as pet therapy animals!

The Electricity In Your Home; Can It Hurt You? What Is It

AC - Alternating Current - in the US it is normally 120V at 60 HZ or cycles per second.  It can hurt you but normally is not dangerous.  More on this subject on another post, this idea for an article just came up!

Harmony

I love vocal harmony.  Harmony is my passion.  Multitracking and building a song up to the point where I can throw on a the harmonies is my passion!  I need to only embrace this passion, this talent, this ability.  Harness it's potential for good, to share with others the beauty of harmony in every respect.  Guitar harmony, piano harmony, vocal harmony.  Analyze all aspects of harmony from the feeling I get from doing it, hearing it, experiencing it to the technical end of it from mixing the harmonies to, what is harmony, what is it about the distance between two or more notes that makes us feel as we do, the dissonance, etc.  I love harmony!

Building a song multitracking is also something I love to do.  I can take only my raw talent for music and create a full band recording with minimal electronics and instruments, it's a wonderful experience I'd like to share with others who don't even know this technology exists or don't know how cool it is to do, how much fun it is to create this way.  Energy, thought crystallized.

Photography

Professionally edit, mat and frame some of my best pictures and sell.

Instructional Videos

 Instructional Videos can be another great source of revenue for me as I like creating them and I like teaching and sharing what I've learned.  I will start by posting on existing sites that offer revenue sharing.

I can create instructional videos on everything I know something about.
I can create instructional videos of other people doing things they know something about, such as Dave K cooking up Cajun!

The Need To Always Be Organized

I love to be organized.  By that I mean with all aspects of my life; paperwork, finaces, my tools, my computer files, and a place for everything and everything in it's place within my home.  I hate clutter, everything in my living space and work areas such as my desk must be need, tidy, organized and uncluttered.  I love to organize and be organized.  I have a natural love, talent and need to be organized.  How can I put this to use for me to make money.  How can I create something of value to others in the areal of organization?  What tool, product, ebook or service could I create to help people who want to be organized, help them selves get organized?  Or, can I offer a service to others to keep them organized?  How can I serve others, give them something of great value in this area?

Things I Know I Want To Do Revised; These Actions Will Make Up My Days

1) Personal Self Improvement Exercises website (personal growth website focused on understanding and directing our emotions to serve us instead of hurt us); A website exploring our emotions (why we are doing what we're doing and how to change the things that aren't serving us).  Using my own personal exercises as working examples for others.   Identify and express our current limiting emotions/behaviors by asking ourselves detailed, clear questions putting them down on paper.  Let some time pass to get out of that emotional state and then... take a look at what we wrote and understand the behavior.  Rewrite the script, change the identified rules behind the ego that made us upset and go into action on a daily basis to apply the new rules in earnest.
2) Recording my own versions of songs with emphasis on vocal harmony - promote on CD Baby and anywhere else I can.  Make an act out of these songs and perform where it makes sense to perform.
3) Personal Safety/Security equipment sales - learn all about these products, buy some for myself, use and understand then sell on-line and off.
4) Animals:  Personally visit all the animal shelters in our area and help strengthen them and share love with the animals, give them money and see where they are week and find solutions to strengthen the weekness, perhaps merge some shelters together.  Create homes for animals, find homes.
5) Learn about Animal Health, first about Cats.
6) Teach what I've learned to others by writing articles and posting on web and through my own websites created in a logical order based on my knowledge and greatest interests.  Teach guitar to beginners in person.
7) Daily Physical Exercise to create energy, stamina and positive mood! Swimming, racket sports, weights, fast hikes.
8) Technical Writing - write manuals for products I either currently know something about or am interested in learning and writing about.  These items can be anything people would need help with,  from converting their albums, self help tapes to MP3 to how to brush your cat!  Do your own heat-pump Tune-up and save $200.00! (these can also qualify as articles noted in Item 6 above).

Writing Exercises

I am currently involved in daily writing exercises, writing down all thoughts, emotions, ideas that come through me.  I am coming up with a lot of information, learning a lot about myself and things are evolving.  It is a real growth time for me, things are really beginning to come together.  The writing is intense and all over the place right now.  I must get this information organized and focused.  I believe once I look over the information and organize it, I will see a pattern that will guide me to my destiny, my purpose.  Thank you.

Solo-preneuring

Solo-preneuring is taking control of your life and getting paid for doing what you like to do, usually involving multiple income streams.  I learned this from the Idealady.com.  I think it's a great liberating idea to become free from working for other people, from the day to day grind of Corp America.  I need to do more research on this idea to figure out what I could personally do, utilizing my current skills and knowledge to create a service or product that would be valuable to others and earn money as a solo- preneur!

Freedom

I love freedom.  The ability to do what I want, when I want, how I want and with who I want.  I am free, I am becoming more free everyday, free from the shackles, the constriction of corp America through the creation of my own creative company, a company dedicated to freedom and helping others to be free and to create goodness and love and share it with the world.  I am becoming free-er and free-er in my home life as I take the fun and necessary steps to purchasing a new home, a home of my own, a place of beauty, security, peace and freedom.  Thank you for letting me share freedom with you.

I love Animals - I Love My Cat

I love my cat and taking the time to make sure she is happy and healthy.  I keep a very close eye on her to make certain she is acting normally and her body has no cuts, scrapes or any abnormalities.  It makes me feel good to take care of her and love her, I appreciate every minute I have with her and her happiness takes priority.

Getting Clearer - A List Of Things I Know I LikeTo Do

• I like to take pictures, creative pics of animals and nature as well as of things.
• I like to take video clips - creative, instructional, musical.  Again I favor animals and nature.
• I like to create and record songs both cover and original
• I love to harmonize and multitrack.
• I like to put the clips and pics together along with my original music to create an emotional video.
• I like to make MP3s out of my old tapes and albums.
• I like to capture video from old DV tapes using firewire and make digital movies out of them.
• I like to post my thoughts, pics, music and video on the internet - I like the feedback when someone likes what I've done.
• I like to learn and share what I've learned.
• I like to express how I'm feeling by writing as I am doing with this blog.
• I Like to feel safe.
• I like to be in control.

What can I do with all of this?  Maybe Amature Audio Video Productions using my own songs, pics and vids?

A Need For surveillance Cameras - A Good Business Idea For Sales

I have a cat and have put up a meg shift chicken wire fence along a wooden railing under a porch in our home.  I say meg shift because that's what it is, I am currently living at a house in which I don't own so I couldn't enclose the porch correctly.  I wanted a place where my cat could go out on her own and just enjoy the great outdoors any time she wanted.  Because this fence is not secure, she could get out if she really wanted to, say when she sees a bird or something, so I have to constantly monitor how she's doing by walking to the porch and looking to see she's OK.  If I had a camera out there, I wouldn't need to do this, I could have a window up on my computer as I'm writing this post and see her, that would be a great thing.  So surveillance cameras and equipment are need, I am seeing many needs for them and will have to research wholesalers and a way to sell them online.

My Personal Need For Security Items Comes Up Again

I was looking at a house to possibly buy today.  I was alone and a man came buy, looked like he was in his late 40s, needed a shave and started talking to me about the house asking what I knew about it.  I answered him and then he started telling me to be careful what I buy as it's such a bad economy.  He then kept talking, going into a rant about our government and how, in his opinion they were making things worse on purpose.  He said the government was trying to make our economical system collapse so they can rebuild it and end capitalism.  He kept going on and on and started getting more and more uncomfortable, he even shut his car off he was talking for so long.  He was probably harmless but who knows, I certainly didn't and to make matters worse, I couldn't get away from him.  I finally get my keys out and started to walk away slowly and he get the message, I was so relieved when he left.  I then walked up the long driveway ( I had parked up at the top of drive and walked down to the road) that's when I met up with him.  I wished I had some sort of safety device like pepper spray or a taser gun or anything in case this guy was a loony but I was totally at his will, he could've attacked me.  I am again seeing my personal need for safety technology for my personal safety.

More Ideas

Security items and surveillance cameras, remotely accessible via the internet so you can watch your pet and make sure everything is OK at home while your away at work.  I have a real interest in this technology as I have always been concerned with my own safety when I'm somewhere like hiking in the woods and come across some shady character, or when I'm in Philly.  I am also always concerned about my cat as I am away from home all day and she is left alone.  More then once I have come home to find her hurt and nor I or the vet could figure out for sure what had happened to her.  All they could say is there was some sort of trauma, maybe she jumped from a high place or the wind blew the door open into her face, or maybe a bug bit her, if I had a camera going I would know.  I can look for a real wholesale drop shipper to supply me with these items and sell them on ebay or amazon or I could do an affiliate thing.

I Believe I'm Getting Closer To Figuring Out The Elements Involved In What I Want To Do

I feel I'm getting closer to figuring out what it is I love to do.  It seems to be filtering down to pictures, video, music, animals/nature and sharing all of these things on the internet such as this blog and anywhere else I can think of.  How I am going to create value and make money off of it is mostly unknown at this time, however, I have been doing a lot of research online about how to make money with your pictures and videos and writing articles, perhaps some of this blog can be created into article that would be helpful to people down the road as I learn and make useful distinctions.  I have created a song called "Help Me To Be Strong" created a video using pictures I took myself and posted this video on Youtube and Facebook, I have gotton some great feedback which feels good!  I have sent the song to Legalzoom for copyright.  Although I love music and singing I don't like to perform in front of a live crowd anymore nor do I like to stay up late playing clubs.  Also, I have been having a lot of issues with my voice being raspy, I had my throat checked recently and they didn't find a problem but something is going on there, could just be allergies.  None the less, it makes singing for a living difficult and not a good prospect.  I do however, have a lot of great songs and song ideas I have written through the years that I can develop, make demos like the one I just did, and shop them around, pitching them to well known artists that just might want to record one of them and make me a millionaire through songwriting royalties, now wouldn't that be great!

The Ongoing Challenge

It seems my whole adult life I have been struggling to figure out what it is I love to do.  I need to figure this out and then figure out how to do it for a living.  I am hoping through this blog, with the help of others, I can finally figure out what it is I love to do and start doing it.  Maybe if you're struggling with the same issue, we can brainstorm and help each other out.  Thank you!
