Mogul: an important, powerful, or influential person
It seems like all my life I’m going to be too young for something, and once I’m old enough for that thing I’ll be too young for something else. I swear I could be 100 years old and die, once I’m dead I bet someone will say “he was too young to die.” I’m sure at some point in their life everyone. It gets irritating as hell considering when it comes to most stuff I have more experience than people older than me. But people fail to realize (at the risk of sounding kind of stupid) I’m an old soul. I remember when I was 8 I was in a school choir in Barbados because I’m so awesome and talented. We had to raise money for a trip to Cuba, I had a solo was ready and excited as hell. I told my mom, we had the money but I was just too young to go to Cuba with people my family and I know won’t hurt murder and or rape me. But here is the kicker, my brother went to St. Lucia a year before my trip to Cuba. So while all of my friends were in Cuba singing for the poor and being waited on hand and foot by the hotel staff I was at school perfecting my times tables and eating food I don’t think I would even feed my dog. Now was that fair? Of course not, but in the eyes of my mother, I’m just way too young to leave the country. And I know what most people that read this are going to say, “you were too young, you were just a baby.” But take into consideration that my mom is the kind of parent that would tell me to go outside and play and LOCK THE DOOR behind me. So that means unsupervised for hours on end I would be outside with children my age whose parents do the same thing. Glorious adventures every day, and I lived a mile away from the beach so that was always an option for us. But the thing is my friends and I had something most people lack, common sense and I’m pretty sure my mother knows that. But you know there is always a way around certain age restrictions, not that I condone certain things but there is. I have two tattoos and I intend to get some more. I’m 16 and the legal age to get a tattoo is 18, my mother would never in a million years come with me to get a tattoo. So how did I get tatted when I was 15? My cousin is 19 and we do like alike in many ways, and I do look mature for my age. I took his id and went to a tattoo parlor. At the time I was working at the district attorney’s office making about 208 a week. I learned all of his information and went to the parlor if they didn’t believe me I always had the information on the card to back it up if they tested me. Now I have this sick tattoo on my right arm that truthfully I love and don’t regret one bit. Truthfully I do understand why most age restrictions exist, most kids are too stupid to do something serious that they won’t later regret and certain rules are there to prevent ignorant people from ruining their lives. I’m not stupid, I do have a good head on my shoulders. But I’m not going to lie I’m kind of rebellious, but my rebellious ways have brought some good things my way. I’m not the kind of guy that does every type of drug known to man and drinks every day. I’m a very relaxed yet eccentric person. I love weird stuff and I’m very curious keep reading if your that interested in Brian the Intern.
I’m still getting to know my Circut expression, but so far it’s really cool. So far I have made a ton of greeting cards and have a ton more to make, which will be sold for a fundraiser at my mom’s church. I’m also thinking about setting up a store on www.etsy.com
Striving to Be Recognized
You are an achiever: Ambitious, competitive, and hardworking: That’s you. With a clear image of who you are, you work tirelessly to make sure your accomplishments are recognized. Your drive for success extends to your family, and you invest a lot of energy in helping them live up to your expectations. Thanks to your knack for diplomacy and abundant charisma, you often inspire others.
What to watch out for: You are prone to becoming a workaholic, slaving away towards success while neglecting your personal life. Because you’re driven to gain approval, you can find yourself performing for others like an actor; if you become overly concerned with your image, you end up feeling superficial. To keep your ambition under control, get involved in group activities that require cooperation. Also practice listening to those around you and think abut sharing the spotlight from time to time.
Looking ahead: Any career that allows you to scale the ranks and gain recognition, status, even material rewards, lights you up. Actress, entrepreneur, salesperson, politician, you get the picture. And consider balancing your professional challenges with personal ones: Run a 1ok, train for a triathlon, compete in a tennis tournament, bike from one end of your state to the other; or join a debate team, play in poker circle, enter your purebred spaniel in a dog show. Whenever you can win at something, you’re happy.

Hey guys so I found some cool stuff that in the November 2009 issue, the “who am I meant to be” quiz. I found that a few of the styles from the quiz were true to myself. If you guys happen to run across the issue pick it up and read it, if not I will share the styles weekly for seven weeks, hope you enjoy.
Striving to Be Creative
You are an artist: You came out of the womb with a paintbrush in your hand. Or maybe it was a flute or a castanet or a fountain pen to go with your poet’s imagination. The point is, you’re an original, and you know it. Even if you don’t have a singular gift, you’re drawn to the arts anything creative, for that matter and you have a unique way of looking at the world. Your need for depth and authenticity in relationships can lead to both great joy and profound sorrow, depending on whether others reciprocate. You don’t care so much about adapting to group or societal expectations; your independence and sharp intuition propel you on your own path.
What to watch out for: When fear of conformity overrides your creativity, you can assume the role of “outsider” or “orphan” and end up feeling alienated. You may even go as far as refusing to vote or pay taxes. This lone-wolf stance might be defense against feeling vulnerable. Try to be ware that blaming other for your banishment, or pushing away those who want to get close, only makes things worse. Also, dramatizing your emotions can interfere with your creativity.
Looking ahead: As long as you genuinely express yourself, you feel like the person you were meant to be. How you do it is irrelevant. A chef or architect can be as much of an artist as a painter or sculptor. Many advertising and public relations executives are also highly imaginative. Beyond work, there are opportunities everywhere you look to coax out your inner artist: Design your own jewelry line, create an innovative blog, dream up a comic strip. Relationships are another avenue for self-expression.
