- Expect a few of these kinds of posts. There are always a million little thoughts going on in my head. Those are just a few.  I guess that is what is cool about these blogs. Like they say, it is a diary of sorts. I can choose to share them with everyone or keep them to myself and always have a record of it.

 Explaing number 2-

 A friend of mine who seems to be very business savvy is going to open up a food truck and he would like me to work for him. Now let me preface this. I have always thought it would be so cool to open up a hotdog cart. Doesnt take much to run one of those. But your ceiling is limitless. Just think, 2am  after the bars close and bam! Right as you step outside the smell of brats and dogs and chili and peppers hits your nose. Nothing better than greasy food to fill your stomach at a very reasonable cost. Also it would hopefully cut down on the drunks driving somewhere to find food (Whataburger, McDs, Jack in The Box etc.) Not sure of how much that would REALLY cut down but Id like to think if i can save a few people from driving around drunk on the road even just for a little bit that is worth it to me. Im no savior just practical.

So anyways. my buddy wants me to work with him on this. Just in the little bit we have been chatting about it sounds pretty good. He really seems to belive that it will work, I like that. He has goals and aspirations about having multiple trucks in multiple cities. my favorite part about all this is that instead of paying his people hourly he will pay them a percentage of sales. That is genius, it will give his people more incentive to drive sales themselves so that they can actually see that more sales = more money in their pocket. My worry is that this food truck craze is a fad and not sustainable for the long term. Meaning that it would be very difficult for me to quit my good job that I have and do this only for it to fizzle out in a few years. That would suck. Oh well you cant win if you dont play.
