Day 1 - 6:05AM

This is it.  Do or die time.  No turning back now.  Once this gets posted on the internet I have no choice but to succeed.  Let's do this.

My name is Daniel, I enjoy photography, beer, cars, and Disneyworld.  I just got a job at Garnet Volkswagen, a sales position that I've waited a long time to get my foot in the door.  I am a big guy, and have been for a while now.  It is time to take everything in my life to the next level,  to benefit of myself and those close to me.

I have no specific plan set for getting into shape, other than eating better and getting active.  Some strength training, some cardio, some yoga?  All I want is to keep it fun and challenging.  Tomorrow I will weigh in and start with some workout action.  I'm taking my wife, Heidi's, advice and not doing anything intense before my first day of work, so I'll just do some pushups and situps.

As for my job, I have been selling vehicles for about 9 months now.  Prior to that I was in the service department, both as an advisor and a technician.  I've been trying to get into Garnet VW for some time now, and finally have the opportunity to prove my worth, starting today.  I have the tools that I need and a hot brand, so any success will be dependent on me.

As far as my other interests from earlier, I like to take pictures, drinking quality brews, and all things Disney parks.  I plan on discussing all of these items throughout this journey of mine.  In fact, I will take my camera into work today to get some shots of the store.  My family also has a trip planned to WDW the week after Thanksgiving this year, which will hopefully be the culmination of everything I'm working towards currently.  Lastly, I will provide insight on here of any interesting beverages I partake in.

So, thats it.  Time to do work.  If you're coming along for the journey, welcome.  If not, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.  I have no time for negativity or extra baggage (figuratively and literally) from here on out.  Only positive thinking allowed in here.  Alright, 7AM, time to get ready for work.

First off I have a new job! I work at Don Rosen Audi/Porsche as an Audi Service Advisor. It's a lot of hours and hard work but it's very rewarding.I got a new car as you can see above. Well not really new, just new-er. Its a sweet 20th Anniversary GTI.

I'm still with my beautiful girlfriend Heidi, and we are having a blast!

So really other than that things are the same. Still busy as ever but havin fun all the time!

Thats all for now, more to come soon.

Been a while, eh?

I got free stuff today!

Hello hello. Yeah so today was an alright day i suppose. It started out with me getting some free stuff from a body shop that we deal with at work, so that was cool (see the picture below). I actually got a car that i could make money on so that was good too. The best part of my day was talking to my love Heidi in China!! I love love looove her! Now i think i'm going to make some sort of meal to eat, but here's some pictures at land rover....

This is my lift. To the left is a detail bay and the wash bay, to right there are 5 lifts you cant see, and behind me there are 5 Jaguar lifts, 1 more Land Rover lift, an alignment rack and the emissions rack.

My toolbox!
