Today I gave a presentation of my business plan that I started working on a week before it was due. What’s really awesome about it is I truly love the idea I have. I won’t share it with you because it’s not important and I don’t want you to steal it. I gave a powerpoint presentation. Which is WAY beyond the requirements of what I needed to do for a introductory business course that everyone is required to take for a non-business major. But otherwise I would have gotten lost, like always, and trailed on for 20 minutes. I don’t THINK I talked for that long but I wasn’t keeping track.
There were two other presentations that interested me greatly, if not because the other ones sucked, then because they were really good. They were both automotive businesses. One was specializing in tuning Japanese Import cars. They seemed to know a good deal about the subject, so why not do it. The other business focused on Offroad Vehicles. This presenter also seemed like he knew a great deal of his subject.
What fascinated me was when we all pulled out of the parking lot, I heard a nice sounding engine that was probably from an import tuned car. And lo’ and behold, it was the kid who presented the plan for an import tuning shop. Then, right behind that car was a jeep with a nice set of tires on it, and it was covered in mud. And what do ya know, it was the kid who presented the plan for offroad vehicle tuning.
Seeing that showed me an awesome double whammy of “practice what you preach”. I guess where I am taking this is to a cheesy place, and I’m going to say that it inspired me that much more to do just that: Practice what I preach.

I joined ebay.com for the first time today (I know, I am WAAAAAAY behind the curve). I am trying to get a Canon GL1 and I am having a frustrating ass time in my first every “ebay bidding war”. There are a few different cameras up for sale. I was the high bidder on one for a bit, but then all these other ones started popping up and I thought I may want a different one. But if you are an ebay user, you know that once you bid and win, IT’S YOURS! I was outbid and I am now bidding on one that looks better. My limit has gone from 400, then to 500, now I’m at 600. But 600 is my ABSOLUTE limit.
This is fun. I’ll let you know how I do….who the fuck am I talking to?
