How to feel like a million bucks
Thanks to BornRich for the inspiring photo
For starters, wake up to this view every morning. When gazing at a photo with this much beauty you have to ponder what does the person who lives here feel like when they open their eyes every morning. I guess it all depends, if they are alone and have know friends or loved ones to share it with it could seem pretty empty, leaving the beauty unappreciated. But for a person like myself who enjoys sunshine, lush landscapes and natural light, I would feel like a million bucks. Rich and lonely will never be an issue for me as the gold and treasure in my life are my friends and family. All the luxuries and things are just extra. Don’t get me wrong, I have everything when it comes to people, but I would like to get my hands on a few items and experiences I have been dreaming about too.

How do you feel about success vs. realtionships? Do you think success causes relationships to fall apart? I’m not sure, but I think it has something to do with your motives and values…
how dreams are made, quite simply
I focus on thinking about how I want my life to be while I’m enjoying living the life I was given, and taking action to make the life I want my reality. - emdoozie
I luv Man vs Food on Travel Channel
Man vs Food on Travel Channel makes me hungry every time I watch it. In college I used to survive by eating Top Ramen while watching Food Network. Mind over matter right, even when it’s salty boiled noodles cooked in a microwave. I want to know why I can’t get a job going to the best pig out spots in America and eating myself into oblivion. I would even settle for being the side kick, though I have been on the down tick trying to lose the football weight (ex-defensive lineman) I worked my whole life to gain. We don’t get to eat in heaven, at least I don’t think so. We better enjoy it while we are on this Earth. Is there food in heaven?

Turn off the News and Live your Life
“Everything is horrible and it’s going to get worse! What am I going to do, who has time to think about dreams when I am worrying about losing my job. Our economy is so bad right now all I can think about is survival. Companies are getting bailed out while I am left here to suffer. I shouldn’t buy that Gucci bag because people are jobless right now. No I won’t buy that Porsche or that Omega watch because it would be in bad taste. I am going to live a sub par life so I don’t feel so bad about everyone else in this economy who’s suffering…”
Can we please get a little breather from the negativity? Seriously, sometimes I try and watch the news simply for the weather and end up depressed and down by the time the meteorologists comes on. Yeah we know, stocks are down, people are losing jobs, companies are going under, money managers have stolen billions, etc. etc. etc. On top of all that you get report after report about how people who are actually doing well in this climate are cutting back on luxuries because they feel bad about the economy and everyone hurting. Why? Don’t feel bad about me I need the motivation and the image of people doing well to give me hope.
I disagree with this ideology. If you happen to be doing well during this economy please enjoy your life. If you see your dream car and can afford it buy it. If you see some designer items that will give you the warm and fuzzies buy them. Need a vacation, take it. Yes there are people out there who have lost their jobs (I was one of them) and are hurting currently, but at least give the rest of us Read More
doozieUp was down since March 7th, CRAP!
I had know idea the site was over written until my friend IM’ed me saying, “what happened to doozieUp??” Needless to say I made a big mistake and did something stupid in my hosting account that took my site down. Luckily it didn’t cost me the 8 months of content I worked so hard to put up here since June 13th 2008.
I’m sure this little misfortune happened for a reason. “Use it or lose it”, or “you don’t know what you have built until it vanishes”. My 8 month blogging life span flashed before my eyes and all I could think about was “how can I start over?” I hope that many of you didn’t think I gave up on doozieUp, or left town. I am still here and I’m not going anywhere, for that matter I think it’s time I re-devoted myself to keeping fresh content going for myself and my readers.
Maybe it was my inner self trying to send me a message…
