In light of recent events, I have decided that it would benefit me greatly if I took up running in order to help me on future contracts. After finding a running group on Facebook, I messaged asking if I could join which they generously accepted me. Realising I didn't have any type of clothes suited for running I ventured down to my local Target and bought a black tracksuit for $19.99. Well at first I could only keep up with them for around twenty minutes which was rather embarrassing seeing as there were mothers there with their children. However after keeping up with this for a fair few days, I noticed my endurance gradually building. Soon I was keeping up with them for the entire run which also boosted my confidence on myself. So far I've noticed that my legs are growing stronger and my energy levels are beginning to pick up which has helped me with my job as a salesman. Now, I’m proud to say that I’ve become a regular member of the running group. I still have a long way to go, but I’m excited to see how far I can push myself. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll even run a marathon! Joining this Facebook running group has been the best decision I’ve made in a long time. It has given me the motivation and support I needed to start a new chapter in my life. I’m grateful for the amazing people I’ve met along the way, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds

Since my last contract in Paris life has been relatively quIet. Initially I was struggling with My injuries which irritated me as I couldn't stick to my routine precisely however they just was not going. However whilst I was working a client started to get aggressive towards me. She was verbally raising her voice and using very hurtfuL gestures. Yet when she noticed I was injured she generously offered to help and whO am I to refuse? What a nice woman she waS. Anyway I have quotas to meet and clients to Impress. Who has time to worry about a stranger? Not me. Unfortunately, life isN't all simple. Mozzarellar. He still beat me. How dare he leave me alive if he Got the better of me. I must do something about this. 

Other than that I've been focusing on my powers a lot recently. OptimIsing them and trying to improve them. Through this I've gained a new power of influence within my speech. Now all I have to do is say a keyword and they'll act out my Task. This makes my job so much simpler. I need to move country however. Some unfortunate rumours have started circulating about me and I wouldn't like to be in an environment such as that. So I believe that New York will do for me. It's decently populated meaning more sales which is good for business and I'll blend in and not stick out which suits me well. Hopefully Midas will also forget about that contract.

Hello Once more.

After my last contract and Lucius disappearing home I had no way of returning. As a result I have spent the past two weeks traveling Mexico as a tourist. It is a beautiful country truth be told. I met some wonderful people, drank good booze to the point I couldn't remember the night and all in all just had a swell time. Whilst I was down there I came across a suit tailor and decided to treat myself. After a few days I have just received a beautiful new blue suit. However what's weird is that as soon as I put it on it felt as if some mystical energy resonated through it so I believe that I got lucky and ran into a magical tailor. 

Anywho, I still had some unpacking I needed to do so as soon as I got back I got right to that. A few hours later and my corner apartment is now set up and feels right at home. I placed those pickled fish I received from Haïta at the back of a cupboard so I don't have to smell that horrid stench anymore. 

Seeing I'm living in New York now I might try and pay Dill a visit. Assuming he is doing okay. It would be nice to host for him and make sure he's eating right. Dead rats are not a healthy for a growing boy. I hear that the sheep doc also lives around here so I may run into him at some point. Who knows.

Thankfully I managed to return home safely yet exhausted. After a long, well deserved rest and work the next day I enjoyed the weekend by running errands, going on a run and testing out more of what The Shadowman can do. 

As I was at the local supermarket I stood there wondering what the cashier's life is like. As I was pondering rather hardly, a series of visions appeared in my left eye as my vision in it darkened slightly. What appeared was a series of life events of this person growing up and their choices in life that lead them to today. To round off the visions I saw a vision of them in a room full of beastly looking moths and a panic stricken cashier. Once that was shown my sight returned to normal. 

Curious to what this was I asked if they had ever been in a situation such as that. Whilst the said no they mentioned that Moths were their biggest fear. As I got home I concluded that my Shadowman's power had developed to show me someone's origin and their biggest weakness. Which is rather interesting and a beneficial power to use. However I've noticed something when utilising the Shadowman. I'm remind of my childhood and horrible deeds I've committed. This is a grisly downside but hopefully with enough usage and reflection I'll over come it. Only time can tell.

But as of recent I discovered a new bar called The Siren in my investigation for Edam. Whilst I haven't discovered anything yet regarding him I did find out that it's a bar for the supernatural. 

Since beginning these contracts I've had a very busy life with barely any time to rest. So for the foreseeable future I'll be taking time off. I've decided that I'll be starting my own sales business and so far it's been doing excellent. I'm earning around $100,000 a month which has allowed me to upsize in house. I've bought new suits, a good care and overall am doing better. 

In the meantime, I'll be prioritising this Edam loose end as I'll have way more free time. It'll also allow me to practice my powers and improve those. That'll help me for when I return to doing contracts. It'll benefit me with my jobs as well. To the normal person I am basically invulnerable. 

Thankfully my murderous desires have been subsiding yet do still remain. But with Caroline as my aid I can still kill anyone who needs it without me being involved. She's been a massive help. Langston has also been pulling his weight around the house and is doing well with University.

The university is thriving and continues to be of use to pigeons all over so maybe setting up schools in different parts of the country will help. I still believe tuition is a good idea but that's for later. I might begin dabbling in expansion to over resources for sale.

Oh and I recently got a call from my brother. He'll be visiting New York soon. Hopefully he'll start improving himself soon and realise that being some stoner ghost hunter YouTubers whatever thing he calls a job is not a viable option for a longterm plan. If he wants to impress me he has to better himself. Who knows if he has the same sensitivity to the mystics like me but I'll teach him a thing or two and see where it goes from then. 

Until next time. Larry Augustus Bartholomew Junior signing out.

After the events that happened at the Acropolis Casino I've realised that my power's are situational and not always the best in some situations. Now one thing that is good in any situation is my gun. So that's why I decided to take a trip to a shooting range. As I arrived there, I was met with a man called Patrick Wilson, who appeared to be a tough, rugged Vietnam Veteran. After chatting to him for some time about different topics he drove me up to the range on his Quad bike.

As we arrived, Patrick lead me through the basic rules which seemed rather obvious but I suppose it's mandatory to have to tell them. As I got set up I decided to use my Handgun setting first. Without much surprise I hit every target dead on. Throughout the day,  I switched through my shotgun, rifle & sniper rifle variants of my gun. It was nice to get a feel of them as they haven't had much use recently.

After thanking Patrick and giving him a rather large tip I started to venture back home. Unfortunately as I was walking back, a man cornered me in the alleyway and threatened me with a knife. Now I'm not one for violence however he tried to strike at me with this dirty, disgusting knife and ruin my suit so reasonablely I wasn't going to take this disrespect.

In self defense I drew my gun and shot him. However, he took way more damage then he was suppose to. Quickly fleeing and getting back home I investigated my gun and saw that it had increased in base damage. I'm sure this will be handy in the future.

Hello,

This is my daily routine. I wake up at 6am and tidy my room first of all. It's nice to come back home and not have to worry about mess. Then untill 7am I'll either do a hundred crunches and sit-ups or go on a run. It depends on the mood that I'm in. Once I finish with that I'll begin by getting ready. As I am a businessman, it is my duty to look as best as possible for any potential investors, clients or the like. 

Once I've finished that I'll then make breakfast for myself and Barry if he is awake by this time. By 9am I'll be down at the office checking-in with my employees and looking through any emails I may have. Come dinner time I'll typically walk around the city finding somewhere nice to eat. I make sure I'm back at the office no later than 1pm.

If I have no further meetings or paper work to do then I'm usually out once more on the streets selling my assortment of pens and pencils. It's important to be able to relate with your colleagues and build a better work place relations. By 4pm if I have no prior arrangements for social events I try to visit the university and check in on everyone. 

I like to round off my day by having a drink at The Siren and unwinding whilst also catch up with everyone. No later than 8pm am I back home and starting on making dinner. I then enjoy a nice bath and catch up on any personal work if need be. If not then I'll spend a couple hours either playing an instrument, reading or occasionally watch some TV.

By 10pm I retire to my room and get a full 8 hours of interrupted sleep. That is how I live a quiet, peaceful life without any stress.
