Hello Steemians,

After months if not years I was able to finance a new computer today. I've had my best friend let me borrow a really old Mac over the last few months but it cannot make due anymore, its painfully slow.

Having a computer is a crucial tool for your goals. Especially mine, mostly everything I love to do involves a computer. Besides my traditional art work on pen and paper nothing would ever replace that. If I want to create an online business, get heavily back into graphic design and prepare graphics for silk screening, i needed to finally make a hard choice.

Your never going to get anywhere unless you make some tough decisions. This was hard because I didn't want to take on the burden of another bill but it I sit idling and just keep hoping one day I can afford one out right I be here for a long time waiting. Unless there was a significant life change and I became a little more fortunate making money but that hasn't happened yet.

I am going to take control of my own destiny and get the tools needed to complete my goals. Ive waited long enough. Too many years has passed and I'm tired of waiting. So to overcome this I'm taking on more jobs to further fund my projects.

I can't wait to get this computer, it's perfect for what I need it for and should last me a good solid 5 years or more. I'm very good with computers and tech, it's my main career. I constantly deal with them. With that said that always helped prolong the life of very computer I ever had. Something breaks I rip it apart and I fix it.

What I ended up getting was:

MSI GE63 Raider RGB-012 Gaming Laptop [CFL]

The computer is pretty dope and awesome for what I need it for.

All my ideas that pushed me into finally getting this machine:

Create an online web store for my art work
Prepare graphics to print onto transfer sheets for silk screening preperations. (I finally figured out how to get around not having a drop sink available for creating frames. There's a way to prep without it. Tshirts soon!)
create all sorts of graphical work, maybe start to freelance again for extra income, making logo's and whatnot
on the entertainment side of things maybe live stream hearthstone rank play on DLive
create better drawing hyperlapse videos
being able to edit vlogs and videos with editing software
and anything else I can dream of

While I wait for certain things to happen with my main career, my day to day 9 to 5 its time I take matter into my own hands and try to make even more $ with the proper tools.

To my closest friends and family that was always there for me through thick and thin I haven't forgotten the love and support I recieved. When things start to get really good you'll be the first on my list.

Noticed I said when, fuck "if" I'm in control of my destiny and goals.

As always,

Work hard, stay humble and Steem on!!
