A Dream Deferred 4 years ago

by Langston Hughes…

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?



Okay, so I’ve come to grips that this will be happening NO TIME soon. Fiddlesticks! No one has told me any of this, “officially”, but looking at the numbers… i don’t know, looks little sketchy… for starters, for the price of my student loans I could probably get two or three Bentley’s… Okay, I won’t officially strike this from my 43 things… I have faith to call those things which do not exist as though they do! Romans 4:17


it's a start... 4 years ago

well, i found out that barnes&noble, borders, and half-price books do not offer franchises. looks like i’ll have to go the “independent bookseller” route… i found some nice commercial real estate for lease; i will call on monday to see what the going price is… i also need to research resources on how to move this concept from dream to goal… meeting with my financial advisor monday night to go over savings & loan plans… i’m worried about those confounded student loans being an obstacle to getting a start-up business loan…we’ll see how it works out!
