I've made a decision, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

Hello, my good friends at WA!

Tonight, when my trusty alarm clock sounded, I awoke with a quote in my mind from a recent movie I saw. For those who aren't familiar with the Iron Man movie series, it follows the life and exploits of Tony Stark, a brilliant engineer and inventor, he creates a suit that allows him to fly and become a superhero.

At the beginning of the movie series, he's a heel, a real jerk, and he gradually grows and becomes more responsible through the series.

At the beginning of Iron Man 3, there's a flashback to the beginning of his career, years ago, when another brilliant inventor, Aldritch Killian, is seeking a meeting with him at a tech conference of some kind. Tony tells him to go to the roof, where he will meet him there, even though he has no intention of showing up.

Later in the movie, when our hero Tony Stark, has been captured by Killian, who has himself become powerful thanks to an invention of his own that gives him superpowers, there's an exchange between our hero and Killian.

Tony tries to apologize for standing Killian up years ago, and Killian says, "No, I want to thank you, Tony.. You gave me the best gift and man could receive... Desperation."

I've decided after much soul-searching, to leave Wal-Mart and focus solely on this business with all my heart. I know now that WA works, I know it in my bones, but it's hard to make it succeed when I'm so worn-out and beat down by my Wal-mart job.

I'm not sure when it will happen, but the Wal-mart job makes me depressed, and I'm tired of it, I'd appreciate any feedback you have.

P.S. I had the tv on in the other room, just broadcasting white noise, and guess what just happened to come on while I was writing this? Iron Man 3!! I view that as providence...
