Introduction

I am a man in his mid thirties. I am a man who has two amazing children. I am a man who has two ex-wives. I divorced both of them. The first was a lesbian that didn’t know it(literally). The second was a combination of fire and ice between us and well …we will get to that in another post.

In an effort not to be a dead beat Dad, I love my two kids with an insane amount of soul, I pay child support and I don’t really complain much, I have gripped a couple times. Because of the situation I put myself in, and trust me I own it these days, for me to survive I have to make $2400 and then make my car payment before I get one dollar for myself. I have an amazing job and realize, in the current economy, that I am very blessed.

I will come back many details later.

So why blog? This is therapy for the soul, pure and simple. This is not a pity party, I enjoy writing and therefore this serves as a great release. While I don't care if any one really reads it, the entrepreneur in me sees many paths I can take this with enough stubbornness.

With this blog I intend to document my journey of surviving in Orange County, California on “limited” means. Through, this process I hope to learn critical survival skills that I can share with others headed towards this very same destination in life.

Why not rent? I have gone down that path, and eventually I will, but every roommate I have met has given me the creeps and paying $1000 for a studio is fiscally stupid. I only say that because I am resourceful and have a very positive attitude about most everything and don’t require many things to be a happy camper...Pun intended.
