I recently have taken up drawing. I purchased an animal drawing book that teaches you the fundamentals through retracing and circular drawing. As I practice my new hobby, I committed to the idea of becoming an artist and what exactly what that means, "to be" to me. As I perfect my new craft, I have set one rule - Wherever my mind roams as I hone my craft, follow it as a possible expression.

My practice today is an elephant. A happily animated elephant. As I was retracing the circles and practicing my shading, I was inspired to search for a school that would serve as a catalyst to my perfect expression. Maybe because of me shading a gray elephant or the idea of Howard Schultz being in mind as I reread his book, "Pour your heart into it", yet Seattle, Washington has popped into my head as the ideal location for a fine art school.

My search was destined as I found AI - The Art Institute of Seattle (www.artinsitutes.edu/seattle). It should serve as a possbile creative fertile ground for many of my graphic, interior, and animation design school desires and ambitions. As I was reviewing many of the varying websites that offered information on the school, the following excerpt from All ArtSchools.com (http://www.allartschools.com/schools/ID1040/) about the Art Institute provided me a succinct oneness, bravo writer:

** Design

Good designers are an interesting breed; they live and breathe in the aesthetic and functional realm. Their discerning eyes notice type treatments on commercials and movie credits. A great-looking chair makes them green with envy.

If you are a kindred soul to this kind of thinking, check out our Design programs:

* Digital Design (D)

* Graphic Design (AAA/BFA)

* Industrial Design (BS)

* Industrial Design Technology (AAA)

* Interior Design (AAA/BFA)

* Residential Design (D)

Maybe its because I am feeling quite enlightened yet when I read those words and descriptions I felt complete, no longer do I need to search.

So what shall I study? I never much thought about the variations of art my newfound hobby would lead me. I am leading towards graphic or digital design, as Walt Disney is a huge inspiration for me. The idea of transforming a doodle into a living being excites and intrigues beyond words. As I reflect, I realize it is the seed that sparked my interest in drawing. To be. To become, the idea, the expression, the spirit of my 10 year fascination and love.

The idea of being in a city of Pikes Peak and the birth of Il Giornale bring a smile to face and appreciate. To the art managers in Seattle. So many fine artists I would love to meet and greet. Not the ones you may think yet the "truest" of artist if there is such a word, at least to me.

The idea is growing legs, far reaching legs. Its possible, its possible and on the destined path. As my hand itches, an instinctual sign of positive thought and attraction. I digress as my put down my pencil and return the smile to my newly drawn gray elephant.

My ideal situation is to be an allocator of capital. Create a corporation with 5 businesses, focus each business on earning $225 per day, the corporation netting $1600 per day. After hitting $1600 per day, begin buying cash businesses that will net $10,000 per day. No I am not talking mlm, businesses; Trucking, Storage and Recycling, Insurance, Software, I have experience in all. Experience being earned money in each. If you can do something once, everyone knows yo can do it again smarter and faster.

I have been thinking, writing, planning, experimenting with various monetary platforms. Scientifically speaking, business platforms are my study.

My skill set is that I am great with people and getting the job done.

I have been flirting with a new title of my listing, James.Bilione, and thinking about its future use. I have been doing a lot of soul searching. Determining what I can be. Its not an arduous task yet not as easy as I think I would like it to be. My interest vary yet they are seemingly business oriented. I have been focused on materializing business strategies and systems at my own peril. Have you ever gotten so focused that you are not able to hear anyone, hence, you keep going down the path you decided whether its starting from scratch or at the top.

I know that the human marketplace is about to get a little more congested, as if that really matters to me. The ideal situation will appear, I know that and I don't believe I have to be to patient. The men and women I admire, hey I am one of you at the core and as I raise my "pole" for guidance and opportunity, today I feel good that my ability, consistency, and quality nature is in alignment.

The birth of an idea is the seed of creation. Whom to say men can not have babies, that the a woman's birth is the true creation of life. Pa-pew!

Duck weave, duck weave. At first thought one may think I am boxing yet the spinning of an architectural design is web like. I am mixed between focusing on one idea till it rains or working on a set of ideas as the days of the week change. There are pros and cons of each while I wonder which method will draw blood first, fast, and amply reoccurring. CrankVolante - The flywheel comes to mind, as the center is, holding many branches. Initially the drips will be slow, yet eventually they will be fast and controlling the spigot will become science.

As I inch closer to my $3.3m goal. Donations, project work is welcome.

It has been a week since my last post in Las Vegas with a posting title change. As my ideal situation may seemingly be fairy tale, Adam Smith my become my pseudonym. To my faithful readers, please keep that in mind or feel free to always check my blog for the latest and greatest.

Happy New Year to all. As I communicate my ideas and thoughts, for my clarity, I have had a breakthrough in thought and understanding. I understand the benefits of doing a task, job, etc in a mechanical way. For the longest time, I didn't understand what was meant by others when the stated be the best at mopping the floor - as Colin Powell stated. Yet now I do. Being mechanical means being able to do a job, task, etc without much thinking, really no thinking. I recall when I would do factory, ups, rps, or shall I say jobs that was more physical than mental that I would always come up with great ideas, plans and never knew why yet I was always eager to go to work.

The idea hit me as I was practicing dribbling a basketball. As I spend one day week to practice my skills and just so happen to be reading a philosophical which highlighted the idea of working mechanical or be the watchman. As I often do, I close my eyes and dribble up and down the court, feeling the ball not with hands yet energy and anticipation. As I got so engrossed in my practice that I was able to think about what was actually taking place in was amazing. I say all that to mention that I have a new found mechanical understanding.

Summarize: star ceo athlete (great visual), $3m; $10k cash, Black Audi RS6 2008 - sign on bonus; 2 year contract.

Experience - Hit the goal, do it again.

Skills - idea, skillful, masterly

Knowledge to know I think in business terms. That makes sense to me and how to grow a profit, make a win situation, those little things that grow friendships.

Since my search for the ideal situation, I have begun my steps to hit the goal that I am seeking. I recently identified 5 lines of business that I currently know or want to know how to earn money to hit my goal. I have assembled a small team to assist with my goals, and have begun making small steps. The joy of my life is my purpose and I realize that I have no choice yet to enjoy the journey.
