The story will be finished.
Dates have been changed, this didn't happen recently.
I left the laptop at work, but thanks for the support, oh friends list people.
And if you are not on my friends list?
Heh heh heh heh.
It's an "a-1" story. |

I think that I'm going to do something a little different with my blog. I think that I'm going to create a less than perfectly commercial blog. I think that I'm going to be something other than "ChrisDoesLoans" or "GeniusInExile." I think I'm going to have an iteration--hopefully a final one--that will chronicle my journey out of the woods. I was saddened that the vile ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=91.6) munchkin1616 propagated an outright lie to get my journal suspended, but not to the point where it bugged me much. I have the content, and that's the important thing.
Well, we'll see you, I've got miles to go before I sleep. |

i will never do a second again.
Anyway, 100% of the problem deals this month are in the 3 (3) seconds I'm closing. I'm looking like a jackass, my terms are a-changin. |

Dear LJ Genie-
Please come and help me, your my only most convenient hope.
The below picture is a simple loan comparison sheet from Excel:
The highlighted fields "Down Payment," and "Down Payment Percentages" are dependent upon one another. Without reinventing the wheel, how can I make it such that if I put "36,000" in the down payment, I get a down payment percentage to be "20" while allowing me to modify the % box (i.e. if I have 19 and goose it up to 20, it changes the other box, automatically.
A simpler way is how do I allow both boxes to be editable, AND modify the value in the other box? What I'm doing now, is not horrible, but if I send this out to Realtors, it'll be a slick 'n' useful tool.

I was a genius in 2004. Lazy, breezed to 6 figures. 2005, hit 6. I'm in danger of letting myself slip away now.
There are 133 days between now and the end of the year. Between vacations and other things, I plan to work 90 of them. 90 days to turn this year around, 90 days to fix the lackidasical manner that I had about myself.
120k net to me by the end of the year. That's a gross fee goal of 250k. Less house fees, less taxes (ouch) = 120k.
And, it's avaialable. To me or anyone else.
I will track it, daily. I've made the best tracking sheet yet, and by best, I mean simplest to use. My excel fu is increasing by the day. It's blank right now--I carried in my Aug 4 closing to give it some data, and I'm currently working 8 loans that should close in the next several weeks.
This is cut because it's a large imge that nobody cares about:
( Stockdude Memorial Cut... )
That's the gist, but that image goes on to measure many more things. I've got a personal one, as well, and this should help measure and track the result that I want. I am really, really, motivated right now, and I know that I can get done what i need to get done. (What that means is being magical for a sustained period. Yes, TB, I mean magical, and I'm referring to you.)
The other thing, is to get my weight handled. Because DAMN.
Hang in there with us, friends. |

zaxxon, attorney and evil alien robot, gave me the challenge to come up with 5 or so songs starting with a "C" that have some significant meaning to me. And I so rarely do Memes. In any case, the list:
Changes- By David Bowie. I like this song because it was on my first batch of my first order through Columbia House. I was able order 15 or so CD's including "Boston", "Changesbowie", "Rumors" by Fleetwood Mac. That batch of 8 or so CDs was a lot of what I listened to in the early 90's when I was learning about how music worked, and what was good and bad. I get a little tired of Bowie nowadays, but Changes was a great tune.
Chelsea Hotel- By dan Bern . "New love is beautiful and new love is sad/ New love brings back all the old loves...that you've ever had. His new CD is promising, and since "New American Language," came out he's been getting away from his "Jerusalem" and "Tiger Woods" kind of stuff, and moving on to more vibrant, joyful unabashed happy music. Chelsea feels like the late 20's. Feels wandering and content, and if you don't get that vibe from that song, then there's no love for ya.
Closer to The Heart- Rush. One of Rush's more melodic and fun tunes, it reminds me of my older brother. "And the men who hold high places...mst be the ones to start..." I think of Moving pictures, and sitting on my brother's floor and listening to records on his crappy speakers. It kind of reminds me of "Free Will" and "Spirit of the Radio," kind of open hearted and self aware songs that are as novel as they are good.
Cowboys To Girls The Intruders/Lucinda Williams- I discovered lucinda williams in 1998, even though I'd known 'passionate kisses' because of dating some chick that thoguht that yes, she deserved all of this. I heard the Lucinda debut here, and it was a fine, fine tune that she was covering. There's something about her voice that is absolutely fascinating. She looks like a drugged out drunk, but I dig her. I'd do her, and I'm not just sayin' that.
Cat's in the Cradle- by Harry Chapin- Chapin is one of my favorite artists, just a nifty songwriter. Not a lot of darkness to the dude, but he needed to tell stories, and that's what he did better than anyone alive for a time. This was paired with TAXI on some kind of K-Tel compilation that also had Cat Stevens on it, and some other stuff. I played it in my fisher price tape recorder for a long time, as a child, and wore it out. Then, my favorite song was "moon shadow," but I always looked forward to "Cats in the Cradle."
Cold as Ice, Closer to fine, California Dreamin' , Crazy, were honorable mentions. |

A little distorted, but MAN, isn't she beautiful?
I came across this picture of us kind of randomly, and MAN, y'all need a girl that's that happy to be around you at some point in your life.
