The end of a Castaneda Era, 2012

Today is the end of two things, the end of the year and the end of David Castaneda. Effective Midnight, my name will be officially changed to Dave Jefferson. When I look back into the days when I was 3 years old to today, it was a roller-coaster ride. If I had to say which were my best days academically it would be at William Northrup Elementary school, even though they were a bunch idiots, but the school was fantastic. As I got older from high school until now, I figured that I am a very personal and independent person when it comes to life. I’ll admit I do not have many friends or cliques I hang out with. As they say in elementary or high school, loner! Yeah right. The way I see it the loner in elementary and high school turns on being on track with life. At age 22 I even told myself, I better off being by myself and one man show to succeed, I do not really anyone by my side. I would like to have friends who support outside my family, but I got very little of that. I say that it is okay, because once I’d accomplished several goals in my life, I was used to it, and then finished on what I do to do.
Whatever my peers, people, family members told my negatively I took it as motivation to better myself and accomplish my goals and developing into a man. David Castaneda-wise, I’ll admit I did want attention as much as women who dresses glamorous. When I saw pictures of people, my peers and groups I get jealous , because I always thought how come I go to something like that, or how he has a lot of girlfriends? Areas has its plus and minuses. I think it is a learning curb as you go through life and realize there are certain things might be a risk and decided to stay away. As a plus and minus example, guys/boys say it is all about partying, drinking and so forth and I tell them my story about I graduated and so on, they look at me like “You graduated”? Then they look at me stunned or quiet. They know girls/women would like a “man” who is successful. My co-workers and peers said finish your education, and then do what you want; it is not worth partying and clubbing. I found better ways to meet people and especially women, better than the college hookup which I will explain later.
About year and half ago, I found this website called “Meetup” where they set up events for people who like to go; for example, singles, adventures, camps and so on. I think this is a great way to meet people, because they are open ready to talk with one another instead of being nervous and feeling uncomfortable. Everyone is willing to be open and have a great time either dancing, drinking (not a lot), get to know the people, other activities it is pretty great. As I said prior I’m not pursuing a relationship, but if something goes on then no problem. My career is my main focus going into tomorrow (Jan 1). My career dictates my life, as much money I have is going to tell me where I am in life. I would like to do is volunteer somewhere get some experience in a certain area in business for experience, if I can go that then I have a plan B just in case something goes wrong in the security side, then have a plan c and so on.
The college “hookup” in today’s college campuses is the trend for a quick one night at a “gig” then totally strangers are the next day. I did not want to get myself into that because it is still risky, protection, pill and so forth. Even though, I did not go into a university I can go to a college campus and have a good time at a “gig” or an ongoing campus party, which probably I get someone fake my drunk side and find a girl who is drunk as well, then go for it……not so fast. When I think about it I never really cared for sex and I did have my urges, but I don’t care too much for it. I say when I get older the partying and “having a good time” will take place. By then I will have my room, apartment or whatever shelter I am renting. This way it is easier to have time to myself and “bring girls’ home.
I am looking forward into the new year and have a  goals in mind, once again, Masters, Moving up in my career, wealth, developing my well-being and my manhood.

2012 watch out!
