9:23 pm	They say... One of my favorite Jack Johnson lines is, "they say that, new life makes losing life easier to understand." Well, the good Lord took my grandfather back home last night around 9pm. He was surrounded by his children, grand children and great grand children. Thank you all for your prayers, I've definitely felt supported and loved through this. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

7:28 pm	Oh sure, you post when you WANT something! Hey everyone, two days in a row huh!? Not too shabby. Anyway, I recently found out my grandfather had a stroke and slipped into a coma today, its not looking like he's going to pull through the weekend. I haven't had a real emotional response to the news yet, and I'm doing alright, but he was an integral part of my life and I know I'll miss him dearly. Any prayers you want to throw my way and towards my family would be greatly appreciated. I last saw him April at a family reunion, surrounded by his children, grand children and great grandchildren. He lived a full, prosperous and righteous life. His name is Luman Green, he's 86 years old. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:31 pm	Ode to LJ Alas my deliquincy knows no bounds Months between posts Eternities of neglect Hidden deep my memories past No more revealed forever cast A mystery's conception in darkness born To breed forlorn upon blank pages This now consumes sealed diaries And protect my heart from truth's sharp sword I read nor utter a single word And here to there life's journey goes To remain undocumented save heavenly scrolls What will become unhidden of future acts? Only what the soul can depart Life's unfoldings through literay art... (yeah, I totally wrote that on the fly) I would like to report there have been changes in my life in the following areas School work ...that is all.... anyone interested in the details write me at paulgreen@realtorpaulgreen.com (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:14 am	Nostalga (sp?) kicks in Well, it is 12:15 am, September 20th 2005. 5 years ago today I left on a plane for Provo Utah and entered the MTC. On the 26th of this month I will have officially been home 3 years. Things have been quite interesting for me these last few weeks. A week ago Sunday I was set apart as Elders Quorum President in my ward. Needless to say such a calling and responsibility never onced crossed my mind. This past Sunday was technically my first Sunday as President, and it definitely differed greatly from every other Sunday I've had. I've already sensed some resentment from other guys in the ward, nothing too extreme but I can tell that their behavior toward me has changed slightly. I have only been in the ward since April and there are several guys who have been in the ward for several years, and I kind of get the impression that they feel we (we meaning my roommate and I, he happens to be my first councilor)have encroached on "their" territory. Since my calling I have been beat up by the adversary, who as we all know, just loves plauging us with feelings of self-doubt, insecurity and unworthiness, but I have not felt the opposition this strongly since I was preparing for my mission. One of the strongest contributors to my testimony is this blatiant opposition at times of spiritual significance. Old sticky fingers seems to hang out in the back ground until he sees that someone is about to go to the temple, or get baptized, or servce a mission or whatever the case may be. As for the rest of my life, I am moving right along. I found school to be quite challenging and a little frustrating. I have a hard time justifying the large tuition expense when I find that my lecture classes are less than informative. I have spent much of the semester teaching myself material from text books, and sleeping through unrelated lectures. But at least I have an incentive to learn, even if I have to teach myself. As far as girls are concerned, I pretty much don't bother with "it" any more. I still try to meet girls, I still ask girls out, but I'm done chasing girls and wearing my heart on my sleeve...in other words I'm pretty much done with the way I used to do things. I have adopted a one strike rule, if I get ONE "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm busy that night..." or ONE, "I have to cancel tonight, I'm sorry..." or ONE, "Well, maybe some other time," they are pretty much out in my book. I've just learned that trying to make girls itnerested in you is just a waste of time, and if they aren't interested enough to give up an evening, sacrifice studying for a test, or if they have a ligitment excuse making it obvious that they really would like to go out, they're done. I have adopted a new term called a "cellular cleansing" This is reserved for girls who strike out and I find myself deleting all trace of them out of my cell phone, lest I submit to breaking my policy in a time of weakness. Unfortunantely I have to perform such an operation on a girl who I was real excited about and really liked. We went on one date and had a fabulous time, the next time I asked her out she was going out of town, but it made it obvious (or so I thought) that she wanted to go out again, so I believed her and called when she got back. We had a date planned, but this one she called and canceled an hour before due to a cold, but again made it sound as though she really did want to go out. I told her that she was more than welcome to call me to claim her raincheck date, that was almost 2 weeks ago, no word. However, interestingly enough I have talked to 3 other guys in my ward who have told almost idenitical stories of how this same girl canceled dates with very similiar excuses, but that she made them feel as though she actually did want to go out. She was recently deleted! Anyway, that's a brief run down on my life. I closed another house last Tuesday, and have one in escrow that will hopefully close around December. I have a few possible clients here and there but nothing too solid right now, we'll see what happens. But all in all I'm happy healthy, and enjoying life. It takes a lot to get me down these days, even girls that I find are slightly less than honest don't bother me so much, all though it can get a little frustrating at times. That's my life, see you when I see you, peace out! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:19 am	Long time no talk Hey everyone, I'm trucking right along these days. I ended up signing up for 3 classes at ASU and 1 class at MCC. I was so tempted to discontinue my pursuit of higher education to focus on my budding real estate career, but I just couldn't justify the decision. All my ASU classes are core 300 business courses, finance, supply-chain management and marketing. I've had a difficult time adjusting to the ASU way of education as opposed to the simple styles of community colleges, but I'm starting to figure it out. Real estate is going well, I'm about to close on my 5th house next week. My old limo boss is actually my client, isn't that ironic?? Things are going well in my new ward I have two callings now, I'm a Elders quorum instructor and the ward-employment specialist. The latter calling has proved quite challenging and rewarding. My stake takes employment very seriously. The stake-employment director actually developed an employment website that has been adopted in most of the regions in the country, and is about to be implemented around the world. If you're unemployed or know someone who is, check out www.mesastorehouse.org All though I enjoy the calling, I have a feeling I'm going to be released soon because the Stake President, whom I have never met, set up an interview with me on sunday morning. Thursday night I had my stake employment meeting and I was talking to the high councilmen about the meeting and I asked if he knew what it was about and he said, "just expect something big." I don't know what that means, but I'm a little nervous. As far as girls, I went on one of the best first dates I've been in a long time a week and a half ago with a girl who I obviously really like. She's just the type of girl I usually BLOW it with, so I'm going to try not repeat that. I asked her out for last night but she was going out of town for the weekend, but she did make it apparent that she was real disappointed that she wouldn't be able to attend and made it clear that she would like to go out next week. We'll see what happens. You all rock my friends, much love and peace to you all! (4 Comments |Comment on this)

2:28 am	Tomorrow at this time I will be sleeping in beach front property over looking Huntington Beach, if anyone would like to touch me before I am bathed in blissful scenary, you'll have to make an appointment before I leave tomorrow at 5pm. Those wishing to bask in my glory as I return sun-bathed and vacationed, you'll have to wait until Monday. I've decided, happiness is a choice, not a circumstance....have I said this before? If you're impressed by the philosophy, give me NO credit, it's sooooo not original. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:06 pm	Sweet Sorrow New York City is the most amazing place ever, but I would NEVER want to live there. Kickin' with Ryan Sue J., and my friend Julie made for a nice couple of days in the tallest most dense city I've ever seen! Highlights, -Manhattan temple baptisms -Strolling through Central Park -Staten Island fairy (it drives literally a stones throw away from the statue of liberty, great photo op) -Ground Zero. Very solemn and amazing feeling that surrounds the only empty space in the entire city -Times Square (David Lettermans home) -Hello Deli (The deli that David always harrasses) -Julie's freakin' HOT roommates! -Niagra Falls, HOLY LOTS OF WATER BATMAN!! Downlights -3 hour unnecesary subway ride to Coney Island -Not enough time to see a broadway show, Letterman or Conan -Totaling the very reason that brought me and my traveling companions to New York in the first place -X dollars on emergency travel funds to get back to AZ -My flight from Detriot to Phoenix. I was next to the largest man in America (I exaggerate, he was large, large enough that we had to put the arm rest up, and he was practically half in my seat too, I was thinking of charging him half of my fare, and what's more is he had the loudest most figity 2 year old ever!) After getting elbowed by him about 15 times, and kicked by his son about 5 times, I tried to sleep by resting my head on the tray table, but his son started kicking that. Anyway, over all, an awesome experience. Other news, I closed my listing on Wednesdsay!! Woot Woot! And got calls from very promising clients over the weekend that I'm going to be working with here soon. Tonight I got dumped by the girl I was dating. Her missionary got home from the field on Wednesday,(the day I left) and evidenetly she has rekindled that flame. She gave me the final axe tonight. But that's o.k., I've already got two dates lined up for the week! Much love, peace out! (6 Comments |Comment on this)

5:42 am	Transaction from hell! Almost 2 months ago I got a referral from a friend realtor of mine. The clients were from Indiana. I took them around and found them a mobile home in a 55+ community, just what they wanted. Since I got their contract accepted, I immediately entered into real estate hell! The mobile home community has its own real estate office and I was working with an agent from that office going through all the aspects of the transaction. Having my buyers in Indiana, and the sellers living somewhere else made communication very slow, and working with a sales office with a median age of 65 made things very slow. It became apparent to me very quickly that sales agent representing the sellers had no idea what she was doing when she sent me an addendum that was supposed to be signed by her clients, but instead of a signature she wrote, "done over the phone," on the line that was supposed to have the signature of her sellers. To think that a legally binding document is valid without a signature, just because it was done over the phone is the most idiotic thing I have ever seen. What made all of this more difficult is i found that my buyers are very stingy non-agreeable people, and are not ones for negotiations. They have made many demands upon the sellers, some of which I felt were valid, others pushing it, and threatened to back out every time the sellers wouldn't agree. The sellers were also very stingy to begin with, but realized that if they didn't comply they were going to lose the sell all together. After taking weeks to even get an agreement on repairs, it looked like everything was finally going to go through...until my clients decided to go out of town for a week and a half before signing any of the closing documents. The sellers mandated my buyers close by this Wednesday, but of course they're not going to be back in town until next Monday. When I told my buyers this became irate for some reason and said they were going to back out of the deal and take their earnest money back. I told them there's no way they'd be able to retain that earnest money, because they're past their closing date, and he then said that he would hire an attorney to get his money back and he didn't care if it cost him a 1000 dollars to get his 1000 dollars back. At this point I realized I was dealing with irrational people and they were not going to listen to me. I called the sales agent and let them know that they were going to have to wait until Monday, or it was going to fall through. The sellers reluctantly agreed, but only if the buyers would sign something saying they'd close on Monday. So, I wrote up a document stating that the buyers would close on Monday and sent it to the buyers to sign, I know they won't sign it, but whatever. Well, to make this even more frustrating, the sales agent had the gall to call my broker and complain about this transaction, as if it was my fault that this hasn't been going well. My broker called me and asked me what was going on, and as I told him the story of all this he just started laughing, especially when I told him how stupid the sales office was, he got a big kick out of the, "done over the phone," incident. Anyway, I don't know what's going to happen, all I know is I'm sick of it all, and want this one to be done and over with. What's really lame is that I am getting an extremely small commission for all of this, far less than the work I put in, and the headache that its caused me. Anywho, I really needed to complain, and if you've made it this far, thank you for listening. Just remember, it may seem that realtors make a whole lot of money, just know, we earn it.

1:18 pm	Whew Well, I had 4 deals in escrow, had to cancel one today due to stingy sellers, one is supposed to close but I can't get a hold of anyone! One is looking fishy and the other is not going to close until the house is built in about 8 months. Ah, Mondays, aren't they great! (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:59 pm	The days pass by Hello LJ buddies, my long awaited silence has ended. Allow me to give you all a quick update...no time for an update, I sum up. Real estate is going well, I have 4 properties in escrow and several clients that I hope to be selling to soon. Ryan has recently returned to the position of "favorite client" I'm loving my new ward and have settled in there nicely, I have two callings now, ward employment specialist, and I am an elders quorum instructor Girls, I was dating a girl from my ward, it was going well until she dumped me. She didn't know why but she felt she should, man I'm finally at the point where I can convince girls to date me, but I can't convince them not to follow the Spirit, DANG IT!! She came over yesterday in tears because she was so frustrated that she felt she shouldn't date me, it was weird, but whatever. I bought a new car about 3 weeks ago, it was rocks, a NIssan Altima 2005, doing so has made me feel far more professional and confidence as a realtor, and my success has displayed that confidence. I have clinets coming in from Utah this weekend to buy a condo, and a few others in the works. It's good, stressful, hard and fun. things are going very well for me righ tnow, and I feel very blessed and undeserving. I had a real tough time when I first moved out making things work out, but I feel the Lord has seen me through it and will continue to do so. Thank you all for your continued friendship, even amongst silent vows on LJ Love and stuff...(for those interested 3 dots is called an ellipsis) (6 Comments |Comment on this)

4:27 am	Is there anything better? When I think of all the great and marvelous things of this world, my mind is flooded such things as, "Trees, waterfalls, 99 center 1/4 double stacks at Wendys" But what adds to my joy is when two such things combine into one, creating a super hybrid mega awesome thing of immeasuerable magnitude. Such a combination was just discovered tonight and my elation has prompted me to notify those individuals who might appreciate such a rare and epic occasion. Think, if you can fathom, of the wonderfully whimsical, slightly rockish always creative sounds of They Might Be Giants. Then, think of innovative and genuis comedic timing of homestarrunner.com and all of its affiliates. What would happen were these two entities to combine forces. Would the world fall out of orbit, the planets align, the very cosmic powers of the universe be overcome and usurped. What would happen? find out at www.homestarrunner.com click on "lost puppet jam" in the corner when it flashes up under what's new. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

1:24 pm	A broken vow of silence! But only to inform you all that tomorrow is my 24th birthday. I'm having a throw down at my pad, swimming, BYOM BBQ, hang out the usual. It will commence around 7:30pm, and will end when everyone feels guilty about being up too late because they have work the next day. If you want directions, give me your email address and I'll send you an attachment with my niffty hand written directions. See you all there! Oh and invite anyone, even if they don't know me...becuase hey, THEY OUGHT TO!! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:46 am	Amusing cycles Alicia broke up with her boyfriend on Saturday, and has already spent the last two evenings with me. Don't worry, I'm not going for her AGAIN! But the one thing I can't figure out, is who keeps crawling back to who?? :) I've made some interesting observations towards females lately, they are interesting creatures. One of my favorites is that girls who say, "lets just be friends," never call me and try to be my "friend," yet they have no objections to me calling them and investing all of my resources in them. "Friends" to so many seems to mean, "you can date ME, but I'm NOT dating YOU!!" it rarely means friends. In a general sense, I'm learning that women speak in code, or in other words scarcely say what they really mean. Ladies, are men similiar on the other end. Well until I meet a girl I turst, I'm just going to continue to second guess EVERYTHING girls tell me, assuming they can't just tell me what they really think, or really feel, and I will just continue to decipher the code! I'm actually getting pretty good at it, if I do say so myself. (18 Comments |Comment on this)
