What the @$% are you Doing?
"No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Nietzsche
This lens is about getting on with it. This is about becoming. This is about "pulling up bootstraps" as the old-timers said and getting some stuff done. This is about being productive. This is about being fed up with what your boss feeds you and biting that hand- OFF. This is about taking control of yourself and your situation by any means necessary.
It is 2008 and the world is spinning faster by the minute. We have escalating wars, intertwined global economies, an increasingly polluted planet- and governments that have forgotten the reality of the middle-class everyperson on the ground. We are spreading freedom through force and forgetting about millions of people that need help here in the US.
Even the freedoms we take for granted are being eaten away by wiretaps and over-fat phone company cronies. Protesters get worse than just arrested, they get put on a "list". Unemployment and crime and pharmaceutical fixes, race and gender and religious-political mixes.
Hell in a handbasket? Maybe.
Ask yourself: How can we truly be "free" if we have to work 2 jobs 50, 60, 70 hours a week? If we have to be away from our families and friends and anything we like to do for fun? Remember that you have to sleep and eat and shower and poop, that takes time too. Are you satisfied with what you are left with? Are you going to wait until you retire at 75 to travel the world? To skydive? To deep-sea fish? To learn a language? To visit the relatives? To climb Everest?
YOU WILL NEVER BE AS YOUNG AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.
Think about that. Before you know it 5 years will fly by and you will still be "free" to work for $1.00 more an hour. 5 years ago, did you think you would be doing what you are today? Do you remember what dusty shoebox you put your hopes and dreams into? Or did you just toss them away?
This lens is about taking back those dreams.
This lens is about becoming what you want to be.
This lens is about controlling your life.
It's about true freedom.
Unfortunately, the ONLY way to get true freedom these days- to have the time to do all the things you wished for- is to have the money to do it. Why do you think people play the lottery by the millions? We shouldn't be hoping to win the lottery to be able to take care of our families or take vacations or buy a house. We shouldn't be praying for that raise or even kissing butts.
For better or worse, America is about capitalism and capitalism is about money.
This lens is about making that money, no matter your background, no matter where you've been.
This lens is about making your dreams reality, no matter if you've forgotten or cried them away.
This lens is about dominating your own world.
Starting today.

How Can I Escape?
(...and how the hell do I get started?)
"We need men who can dream of things that never were."-John F. Kennedy
My business can be your business. It involves using the internet to develop a personalized presence, to advertise using banners/ text ads/ reviews and everything else you can imagine in order to draw traffic to a website. Of course there is a network of people more than eager and capable to help, and a disgusting amount of training.

Its working for me. This way you can make enough money (even on the side) to get free from your job, liberate your time, and invest in what REALLY matters to you in life.
This is the first step to reclaiming your dreams.
"You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"

You are so right when you talk about working 2 jobs and not having the time to really enjoy life. That is the main reason I am starting an internet business. I want to be able to live my life on my terms and not the terms of my boss. I want to travel and see the world! Internet marketing seems the best way to do this in my opinion.
This is a great lens! Keep writing. :-)
