| You remember my egg for breakfast story pictured, below and in tumbnail and a brisket sammich for lunch articles and now a fried chicken for dinner article... how I didn't care if people made fun of my scrambled eggs, or brisket sammich... well the same goes for my Sunday supper, don't make fun of how I say it either... just kidding ;-) ;-) ;-) http://instantcmptrbiz.blogspot.com/2016/11/fwd-finally-i-cooked-eggs-right.html and http://instantcmptrbiz.blogspot.com/2017/03/finally-i-made-brisket-sammich.html, respectively. Well, I finally did it, again
 
What prompted me to make Fried Chicken, you might ask. Well I got up late the other day a Sunday and walked to a i-360 and the "Eye of Orlando," nearby and had ordered a Chicken Fingers or Tenders and Rondoles dinner and planned to washed it down with a glass of Coca Cola. Now I don't quite understand chickens have no "fingers" to speak of, and ..."Rondoles" what are those? Is it the last part of the chicken that goes over the fence, as it flies over!?... After I was done ordering and got my coke, I went to the restroom while the meal was being prepared from the communal kitchen, by one od the Chinese Chefs that works for the three store fronts at their food court: NY Style Pizza (what makes it NY style, nobody knows), Mexican & Chinese Food counters. When I came out of the Men's Room, I was being watched by a phalanx of security personnel. Why? I wasn't sure and I didn't ask the young man who appears to be chief. I just went about my business, like nothing happened.
I have been visiting this place on a regular basis and charging my phones, tablets and either played video games, or worked on my blogs. You I live in a hotel across the street and there is always something going on here in the weekends: Brazilian Soccer, UCF Ball Teams & Local HS Teams Pep Rallies, Latin & Mediterranean Festivals etc...I gathered this is again, based on profiling, I was wearing a Winner Rolex 24 At Daytona, circa 1992 Oyster Perpetual Chronograph watch, worth ~$20K, a comfortably lovely pair of Desert Camo - Classic Issue BDU Cargo shorts, a a tan Hawaiian print shirt by Summa and brand new Addidas slippers. I'm guessing I'm looking like a local, by all accounts and perhaps a vagrant, if you're not looking carefully. I remembered that earlier upon crossing the "security gates," for it's like an airport now, at Orlando Eye and greeted the guards who eyeed me, after walking through the complex to the main building, I noticed no metal detectors as apparently I was let into main building with attractions, Sea Life Aquarium and Madame Tussad's Wax Museum.
I said, "Hi". They as busy as they were didn't respond, right away, just looked at their watch. One said "Hi!" "How are you, Sir?" "Isn't it a great day in the Republic." I had noticed through the corner of mine eye, that a Sr Member of the Security Staff was screening people prior to boarding the 400' Ferris Wheel, he must be the boss man, I surmised. I met him earlier when I lost my Tablets and he apparently was Lost & Found. A ruse used to get your ID which I presented and at it was photographed via a smart phone and a report compiled. I waited while the officer, who found it returned it to me, it took a while I was told she had something to tend to outside. An hour went by and she approached I was asked what color it was. And I said one is black and the other is white, a LG Gpad & Samsung Galaxy Tab, respectively and they're in a black leather case me and said that she has missed place her keys and will be gone again momentarily. I did finally get my Tablets. I'm NOT altogether clear how it became missing items at that point, except that it may have been spirited away by some one. As One walsk into the complex there are various signs that say no pets, no skateboards, no roller blades, no hoverboards.... and
"NO LOITERING... Loitering will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." I assume this was the root cause of my visit by the phalanx of burly, surly gentlemen. The security guard a surly, burly black woman, approached and "I and handed him my International Drivers License, which is predicated on my California ID in order to retrieve my tablets, worth about $1600. She took my ID and walked away muttering into his walkie-talkie, mike, as security do, in privacy. Reminds me, again of my visit to Indonesia whereupon, a cop did the same and demanded 500, for me to get my ID back wherein I said, "It's ok, keep it"... to myself I muttered under my breath ..."it's an international license, I can get for 50, later"... I then said nevermind I'll leave, I know when and where I'm not wanted I muttered, under my breath, again, no problema, Sir. Now I've been going to that Eye of Orlando and i 360 and frequented it's shops restaurants & bars for some 2 years on an off, now - ever since it got built not to mention the original in London UK. There were times I'd go everyday for weeks and months straight. just to hangout, and never had a problem... Some people, give 'em a little job and they think they own the place. I'm guessing someone took um bridge to the fact I managed to hangout at the Eye for quite some time. Apparently Rest and Relaxation is NOT allowed on premises.
Can I see you ID, what are plans for the day... the ID got passed around and eventually returned to me. Incidentally, I never got my fried chix dinner, hence my reason for visiting a local Popeye's Fried Chicken and getting the Three (3) Piece Spicy Chicken Dinner Louisiana Style: specified, two (2) wings and a leg, a local grocery to get the fixings and a Panera to get the Artisan bread or dinner rolls, as it were. At Popeye's, my order was wrong I got a standard three piece, thighes and leg and asked that it be changed, to what I ordered... whereupon I was told, "Well you didn't tell me, you didn't want me to ask questions?" I told her at least three times I wanted two(2) wings and a leg and after awhile I said, "I don't care what you call it I want 2 wings and a leg, as long as I get two wings and a leg."...
On the way back home, I stopped at Sand Lake to look across a tranquil spot in a parking lot to Season's 52 Restaurant... I inadvertently, took a nap and was awaken by a bright flashing light, where upon I was lectured about, "You can't park here!".... now I'm in a SUV - Toyota FJ Cruiser a Baby Landcruiser formerly named Prado or based on the old Toyota's Jeep. Am not in my motor home. Reminds me of a discussion with a driver in Riyad KSA compound I lived in, wherein I asked why he didn't take the short cut... well he said, "There's always some a-hole that comes over and says , 'You Cant Do That!'"
What's wrong with these people? What is this world coming to? This might be my greatest accomplishment of 2017 Sometimes I think the world and by association, the internet makes us feel bad about ourselves. If you're not "hustling" and doing yoga and scaling a bazillion-dollar business, it feels like you're not good enough. But I think wins come in all sizes — big wins and small. I feel good about my eggs, brisket sammich and chicken dinner. It took me over a year to get good. I don't really care how many people made fun of me for those eggs or sammiches (trust me, I know how horrible they look). So, what's for dinner?, "Reservations!" How did the headless chicken cross the road? A: In a KFC .or. Popeye's Fried Chicken Bucket. Why don’t chickens like people? A: They beat eggs!
Albeit, I'm a little slower than other people at learning to cook, but I'm happy that I kept going and figured out how to make a Fried Chicken Dinner, Brisket Sammich, and Tricked-out Rammen Noodles by the way it cost less than what I ordered at "Eye of Orlando" or any other mall with Chicken NOW! Success came in the form of patience disguised as Fried Chicken Sunday Dinner. I think about the business decisions I make now, the big ones. I never could have imagined making them years ago. And in truth, I wouldn't have been able to make them — I wasn't ready then. But it took baby steps to make them, to get to the level where I earned the right to make bigger decisions. What are you proud of? It doesn't have to be making a million dollars. Is it spending time with your family last weekend? Or welcoming a friend who needed a place to stay? Or working hard on your business over the weekend? Let me know in a comment here. I'm curious.
My thanks in advance for your time, attention and consideration. Cheers,
João

P.S. Success comes in lots of forms. For me, it was an egg, a brisket sammich and rammen noodles for breakfast and lunch or Brunch, as it were. I want to show you how to break down the big ideas of success into smaller ones you can achieve now. On Thursday, I'm going to show you how to take big dreams — like a vacation in Paris/Thailand/Las Vegas — and break them down. Stay tuned.    |
