Key to Happiness

I been traveling back and forth the past two weeks from California to Jersey and I've come to the realization that.. life is sad when one is not in Jersey.

Or maybe I just miss the people from Jersey, maybe that's it.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man!

There's this little saying floating around, you might have heard of it; "Knowledge is power." Truer words have never been said. Aight, that's a mighty big assumption but work with me here, okay? There's a great majority of people who pursue this power and do great things with it. Unfortunately, I feel that there is a greater majority of people that misuse it as well.

I always stumble upon situations where person A is attacking person B for being ignorant about any given topic. One example I can think of is how citizens of other countries always attack Americans for being ignorant on the current state of the world. Well, I'm not going to lie, I'm one of them. Sure, I'm not helping anybody but I sure as hell am not hurting anybody either. What all these people fail to see is that they are no better than me. They read a few articles and for some reason immediately feel that they are more superior than others.

I believe that just having the knowledge does not make a person, it's how they use it. For example, if you have the cure for cancer, but you're not using it, how are you better than anybody else? If Peter Parker found out about his powers, but instead of saving peoples lives he just sat at home and played Mahjong with all his female, middle-aged, Chinese friends, is he any better than you? Wait... yes? nm, then...

Vanity

I guess I'm a hypocrite.. There was a time not too long ago where I didn't like girls who carried expensive purses or were all flashy. Not cause I want to go carrying expensive purses around or anything like that, just that I like nice things too.

This is my problem, I like nice things, but I don't want to seem flashy. I guess I'm kind of like a hipster, but I don't dress like a fucking bum, cause hipster clothes can be pretty damn pricey from what I've seen. For example I'll get a nice shirt, but I don't want any logos or anything on it.. so I'm basically getting it only for my own satisfaction. What the hell..?

Anyways I believe that if you can enjoy something, you shouldn't feel guilty about it. I shouldn't judge no girl rocking some balla purse, cause who am I to say what she does with her money. It's her right, why should I care?!

Basically... all I'm trying to do right now is to justify a really expensive purchase. And I don't want to come off as an ass for getting it, or look like an ass. Well I guess too late for that, might as well get it then.

Slim Fat

I have come to realize that girls who often complain that they are fat and/or need to go to the gym/exercise are actually not fat. However girls that do not complain about being fat are actually fat. I am a genius.

My Bucket List

I'm gonna take my time on this post, and update whenever I think of something to add to it. And I know that this is a list of realistic things not like winning the lottery or appearing on Oprah.

Here goes, a list of things I would love to do one day:

- Go to Japan/Korea
- Go on a cruise
- Take a racing/driving class
- See Coldplay live
- Sit courtside at a Lakers game
- Live somewhere outside of California, maybe outside of the US? Might be too late already, but maybe when I'm old who knows
- See the Northern Lights or if you wanna get technical aka Aurora Borealis
- Make Pho from scratch
- Chainsaw a tree down.. sorry earth
- Skydive/Cliffdive/Bungee Jump
- Get a puppy (this might actually be the first thing accomplished on this list)
- To Be Continued..

What I've come to realize is that a lot of the things I want to do involves traveling, which means I better save up some cash.

Happy

Am I happy? YES I AM

Remember to smile.

Dig'n It

I am a person who loves to reflect. I always enjoy just going back and digging up past events in my head. That feeling of nostalgia is like no other.

However, I think sometimes when you think about the past too often, you tend to be stuck living in it as well. It's great to reflect, but you can't hold onto old memories too close. If your mind is stuck in the past how is it ever going to grow? Just thinking that like in all things in life, you just gotta have a balance. It's okay to reflect, but be caught reflecting all time. Go out and make new memories instead of spending all your time thinking about old ones.

Sometimes though its good to remember, and sometimes its better to forget. Get out there and enjoy life!
