And I say to the world, 'Ready or not, here I come'



    There comes a time in a young man's life when he makes a decision on what he wants to accomplish to be happy, successful, and satisfied with what he is doing.
    Well, I'm not exactly a young man anymore, but dammit I feel like starting over.  No longer will I live life with the regrets of what I coulda done, coulda had, and coulda been.  Time to do what makes me happy.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of what I have accomplished up to this point.  I have been blessed with even having the opportunity to live in a nice home as a young adult (thanks mom, thanks dad) in order to work part time and attend/graduate from college full time.
    I was able to wake up at 5:30am 5 days a week for 4 months, driving 80 minutes roundtrip, and being out till 5pm getting screamed at by drill sergeants in order to obtain (and truly earn) a full time career profession in law enforcement. 
    I was then lucky enough to be surrounded by some truly great friends, including one who gave me the opportunity to travel 3000 miles and have a home to lay my head while I make a change for the better.  It has led to a beautiful wife, a new form of stable (well, i will call it that anyway) employment, and a small but comfortable apartment to rest my head.
    I am grateful for everything that I have.  But, honestly, if you think about it, what makes a truly successful individual is their ongoing and constant desire for more (not greed or psycho desire, but hopefully you get the point)
    I believe that, sometimes, its ones motivation that is truly one's treasure.  And so, without motivation, there is no real wealth.  Without aspirations, there are no true goals to achieve.
    So here I am, a man with a new plan.  I'm not exactly throwing caution to wind.  I understand that i'm an adult with responsibilities, so i don't plan on quitting my "day job" in order to live in a 400 square foot rathole, live off of the fat of the land (and people's change on freeway exit ramps) in order to chase my dreams.  But I am a man who wants to go after what he truly wants..........Satisfaction.........not only from my person life (love you honey) but from how I earn my living.
    So, if you are in the Los Angeles Area, and you happen to see some guy named Ernest performing his stand-up act somewhere and/or promoting a special event at some local comedy club, go check it out. And don't forget to take a look at my home page on this site for more information about me, my passion, and my future.  You never know, it might inspire you to be exactly what you always wanted to be.
