Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.

Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
Master of Education with a specialty in Rabbit-specific destructive munitions (or eLearning & Technology, I forget which)
Doctor of Philosophy in Wile E. Leadership with an area of specialty in Acme Mind Expansion - 2017 Hopefully

3 B&M colleges and then dropped out (Technically 4 but 3 is embarrassing enough)
Job
Married
Changed Job
Self Employed
Condo
Single Family Home
Bigger House
Investment property
Had a beautiful daughter
Divorced (Lost mucho dinero. For those of you who don't know Spanish it means the opposite of chump change)
Sold Business
Unemployed-During this time took flying lessons, thought about being a cop, firefighter, nurse, you name it. Moved back to NJ. Graduated from TESC.
Moved back to CA
Got 2 jobs - 1 in Sales and 1 managing property to get free apartment rent
Changed Sales job due to higher pay
Quit both jobs and became an entrepreneur and bought myself a bimmer (Already got pulled over twice because of it's awesome Estoril Blue color)

I believe watching adult videos is an extremely bad vice which is why I do the next best thing...I watch Naked And Afraid on the Discovery Channel. And if the episode has a hot girl on then I watch it TWICE.
