FAILURE IS NOT A OPTION



It's been a crazy minute since I updated my 'personal' blog so I decided "Oh what the heck" and go back to my original drawing board. Since the start of this blog in May of 2009 my postings have been a window into my upside down and crazy life. I often take the time to share my goals, accomplishments, and even failures. I was speaking with one of my best friends the other night about one day writing a book on the achieving my own success.I've always considered myself a underdog but through diversity I always seem to prevail. I thought about writing in a journal to express the situations that were going on in my life both good and bad. I nixed that idea and decided I would use these experiences (The Blanco Experiences) to tell the tale of who I was. It would serve as my journal and foundation.

So this afternoon during the moderation of my other blog (http://bizzyblanco.com) *shameless plug I know* I decided instead of writing in a notebook and shun out the entire world. I'd share my experiences with you, as you follow me on my journey. Hopefully something I may say or write about can be influential to what you may be going through or hoping to achieve.

I'm gonna do my damnest to blog every few days...So stay tuned because like I've always said "The Best Is Yet To Come"

I refuse to allow Failure to win this battle

I am combining these two memes, I had no access to the internet for a week.

We are lucky in Auckland, we are an isthmus and we have just moved to a promontory. I am 5 minutes walk to the beach.

WORK.PLACE

 Really liking these photographs from Work.place .... 
Work.place is a documentary of some of Portland's most talented artists, musicians, designers, and craftspeople photographed by local photographer, Carlie Armstrong.
