Oh No! Quicksand!

I just saw an internet meme. Facebook strikes again. “When I was a kid I thought that Quicksand was going to be a much bigger problem than it is.” Too funny. When you’re a kid it seems like you’re always going to land in quicksand. When you grow up, you worry about it all the…

Why All The YELLING?!?!

I’m watching people yell at each other on TV. I don’t like to watch TV anymore. I hate TV. It’s other people living their life. And yelling. Mostly just yelling. I mean, you can’t go 2 minutes on TV without someone getting in an argument. News flash, I have my own life to live and…

Welcome to Open Doors and Opportunity!

My name is Paul and I’m the owner of this blog.

The picture of me above was taken by a very famous photographer who has also photographed Presidents of the United States, numerous celebrity actors and various sports professionals, as well as other business professionals like myself.

I was supposed to have a feature article written about what a great marketing professional I was in GQ Magazine, or Fortune Magazine, or Forbes, or Playboy … one of those … but then, things went sideways.

Really sideways.

The article was never written, the photo was never used anywhere, I was fired from the job that made that photo possible, I lost my home and ended up traveling all over in my pick-up truck (known as Unit #4) and staying in various Wal-Mart parking lots (what I like to call the Wal-Mart Condo Association) for 2 years.

In the meantime, I’ve done everything. I’ve been a partner in the largest nightclub in SWFL, written songs with Grammy Winners in the Songwriter Hall of Fame, started as a public relations grunt and worked my way to Chief Marketing Officer of a restaurant group, and much, much, much more and many things.

It’s been a crazy life – with highs and lows not experienced by anyone who ever “played it safe” — but I was born to live, and so, that’s what’s I’ve done. These are just some of those (all true 100%) stories.
