95% of people who get involved in mlm/network marketing have little to no success and people say it is a scam.

however, 95% of people who play football/basketball never make it to the nfl and nba.

95% of people who can sing never get a contract.

95% of rappers are not named jay-z, 2-pac or t.i.

95% of the workers i've ever known never earn a 6-figure income or even earn enough to not live paycheck to paycheck. so what is the real scam, the opportunity or YOU? become a part of the 5% in whatever you do.

don't buy your own excuses, don't play the blame game and stop measuring your potential based on the failure of others.

what's going on with netflix? it's getting seriously ridiculous.

i love netflix. they aren't thinking clear. i like to watch a movie on-line. it's cool. but i don't watch it often because of captioned and subtitled. i am deaf. how can i understand myself? how can i enjoy myself without understanding of what's going on? some of foreign movies has subtitled, that's great. but what about another movie i want to watch? you know?

once it's fully captioned and subtitled for movies, tv shows and movies and all, i will stop to subscribe dvd movies and will switch to streaming it on computer or tv to watch a movie.

i pray it will be done this year before the 2012 arrives.

heath, you are still generously missed.

the social network - two thumbs up. i really enjoyed it very much. i gave 4 out of 5 stars.

the town - it was bored. i don't like it very much. 2 out of 5 stars.

inception - i already saw it at movie theater. i wanna watch it again. that movie is a masterpiece. i love christopher nolan's work. now i am looking forward to watch the dark knight rises by christopher nolan. it will be come out in july of 2012. bummer. anyway, i gave 5 out of 5 stars for inception.

giants won today. i am happy that we won. but the score is 28-20. what the heck? i mean, the lions aren't that good team but i don't know what's up with that. probably the giants defense weren't really good or something like that. i didn't watch that game on tv here in arizona. damn it. i watched the game cast on espn.

detroit lions - 20.
new york giants - 28.

last friday was my sixth month anniversary as an employee at bank of america chandler cafe. already? i truly love that job. but very hectic and busy. i enjoy it very much.

the staffs are great. they treat me well. i treat them good, too. we are good teamwork. i still thank myself for a real job. i think it's my first time to have a real job. i had many and many different jobs in new york.

i am still pursuing my dream to work at hotel or resort for a kitchen job. one day i will apply for that job in two or three years later. since the jewish holidays are finished, now i have a time to study to get two certificates that i have always wanted: servsafe and certified sous chef (c.s.c.).

today is week four. the bears will play against my die hard fan team - new york giants. let's go, giants. don't disappoint me again like last two games. show them what you got.

today is the last day of the regular season for baseball. i have no desired to watch the postseasons this year. however, i will watch phillies game. they are in the same division with my team, new york mets. i do not want to see yankees to win this year for 28th. fuck that shit.

wanna know what does your name mean?

http://www.paulsadowski.com/Numbers.asp - enjoy it.

mine is:

You entered: dmitri david gadaev

There are 17 letters in your name.
Those 17 letters total to 81
There are 7 vowels and 10 consonants in your name.

What your first name means:

Russian	Male	Variant of Dimitri: Earth-lover.
Greek	Male	Variant of Demetrius: Earth-lover. Of Demeter. Demeter is the mythological Greek goddess of corn and harvest. She withdraws for the part of the year her daughter Persephone must spend with the god of the underworld - the reason for winter.

Your number is: 9

The characteristics of #9 are: Humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations, creative expression.

The expression or destiny for #9:
The expression that you exhibit is represented bythe number 9. Your talents center in humanistic interests and approaches. You like to help others as you were intended to be the 'big brother or big sister' type. You operate best when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion, and allow yourself to be sensitive to the needs of others. You work well with people, and have the potential to inspire. This suggests that you could successfully teach or counsel. Creative ability, imagination and artistic talent (often latent) of the highest order are present in this expression. It's possible that you're not using or developing all of these capabilities at this time. Some of your talents may have been used at an earlier time in your life, and some may still be latent. Be aware of your capabilities, so that you can make use of them at appropriate times.

If you are able to achieve the potential of your natural expression in this life, you are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others. Your personal ambitions are likely to be maintained in a very positive perspective, never losing sight of an interest in people, and a sympathetic, tolerant, broad-minded and compassionate point of view. You are quite idealistic, and disappointed at the lack of perfection in the world. You have a strong awareness of your own feeling as well as those of others. Friendships, affection, and love are extremely important.

Undeveloped or ignored, the negative side of the 9 expression can be very selfish and self-centered. If you do not actively involve yourself with work that benefits others, you may tend to express just the opposite characteristics. It is your role to be very involved with other people and their needs, but it may be difficult for you achieve this role. Aloofness, lack of involvement, and a lack of sensitivity mark the low road of this expression.

Your Soul Urge number is: 8

A Soul Urge number of 8 means:
With an 8 soul urge, you have a natural flair for big business and the challenges imposed by the commercial world. Power, status and success are very important to you. You have strong urges to supervise, organize and lead. Material desires are also very pronounced. You have good executive abilities, and with these, confidence, energy and ambition.

Your mind is analytical and judgment sound; you're a good judge of material values and also human character. Self-controlled, you rarely let emotions cloud judgment. You are somewhat of an organizer at heart, and you like to keep those beneath you organized and on a proper track. This is a personality that wants to lead, not follow. You want to be known for your planning ability and solid judgment.

The negative aspects of the 8 soul urge are the often dominating and exacting attitude. You may have a tendency to be very rigid, sometimes stubborn.

Your Inner Dream number is: 1

An Inner Dream number of 1 means:
You dream of being a leader and one who is in charge. You want to be known for your courage, daring, and original ideas. You seek unconquered heights. People may get a first impression that you are very aggressive and sure of yourself.

last friday, i went to saddle ranch to pick up my last paycheck. i texted nick, the executive chef to meet me upstairs. we met but it was awkward moment. why? he laid me off after i told him that i got a new job.

after receiving my last paycheck, nick asked me something. he wanted me back to work there again for the weekends only. i was shocking. i mean, why the hell did he laid me off and then reconsidered to rehire me again? what?

of course, i respectfully rejected. because i already washed my hands off the ranch and move forward to a real kitchen. why would i go back to there and i will wash it again in someday? forget it.

the job is great. my boss told me that i will get a raise and promote as well. i don't know when. it could be this late month, may or june. i don't know yet. at saddle ranch, i worked there for 17 months. i did get a raise, just a buck and didn't get promote as well. the chef/sous chefs told me that you are a great worker. i nodded them because they just wanted to say it, that's all. it's like they rub it on my face, you know? at new work, i will get a raise and promote, too. that's new opportunity and experience for me.

today i will go to saddle ranch to pick up my last paycheck. after picking up, i will make a final decision: should i file a lawsuit for three reasons. one of them is discrimination. and i have a slightly evidence. or i contact to the better business bureau to file a complaint. but i will talk to the president first. to see if we make an agreement such as settlement.

i picked the colts to win tonight. i have a feeling that it will be bored game, no excited game like new york giants vs new england patriots and colts will kill them badly. it won't be hot and good game.

i am looking forward to watch the super bowl commercials.

have a good evening, my fellow friends.
