Yes, it would be nice to do my own business here but the way I see it… It wouldn’t be worth the stress to do it at the moment. I have to deal with mums boutique still. Probably have to still deal with the restaurant even though I countless times say I don’t want anything to do with the restaurant. My problem is I don’t have any leisure time. I don’t have time to sit back and relax and think about what I’ve accomplished in the past week or month.. I’ve been here in NC for almost a year now and it feels like everything I do isn’t enough. The family thinks I just twiddle my thumbs and play on my phone and computer. Do they not understand I don’t get paid to do what they expect me to do. I keep telling my mom they need to hire someone to help out. She keeps saying they can’t afford to pay anyone. The way I see it they don’t send home anyone when they need to be sending someone home. If it’s slow send a server home. If it slow send one of the kitchen help home if they are just standing around doing nothing. Business is business simple as that.
I’m still here because I want the boutique to grow and make it. My mom says but the restaurant pays you thats why I want you there to help. I said DONT PAY ME THEN. I dont want to be at the restaurant. If I spent more time doing things at the boutique to make things happen maybe the boutique could afford to pay me a measly less than minimum wage salary.
But here I am waiting to do what I want to do. Still… I’d say I’m sitting on about $30,000 worth of equipment and supplies. I don’t even think my mum realizes it. She says oh why don’t you just sell your screen printing equipment. SMH…. I can just pack all my things and move to Kansas City or Phoenix or San Francisco or Seattle or Dallas or Denver… And lose contact with the family again. I choose to be here in NC to help yet they don’t understand where “I’m coming from” or what I’m doing. Apparently the family doesn’t understand I’m the next HEAD of family. My mum agrees as well. If I wasn’t around here my mother wouldn’t have no one to complain to about things the family does. I understand what my mum has gone through to get her family here from Laos and the lack of appreciation she gets from them. They are all spoiled yet they expect more. Sometimes she says she feels bad that she treats them better than her sons at times. Anyways… I’ll end this here.

Been working on a list of services I could offer in NC if I opened my own business. I’d probably do it by appointment only.

Easy geeky stuff
picture scanning
slide/film scanning
xray scanning
document scanning, indexing
Book scanning
OCR
casette to digital
vhs to digital
slide shows
video clips
Photography/videography
Photo touch up
pdf form creation
CD/dvd duplication- graphic design
E-books

Time consuming but interesting things
personalized cups

mouse pads
temporary tattoos
vinyl graphics
Screen printing (if I go get my equipment in the the garage in Illinois)

I would need to buy a few things to do some material and equipment to do some things but most of it is relativity inexpensive.

Well, I actually back tracked through my old posts on other media outlets and posted it on here. There’s still more but I dont feel like downloading a bunch of pictures from my google images to make new posts yet. The left navigation menu is cleaned up and all functional links now.. =) Doubt anyone will go through it all but I’ve added my LS400 build posts from Clublexus. I have lots of images to go through and post from my computer and what not for that. Starting the photography section. Blog link goes to random thoughts category now. Maybe Ill post random blogs more often. The ingress category will be about my Ingress experience as a OG Agent. lol.
