Keep Moving Forward

I feel I have been making good progress with my personal goals so far -- every day I'm inching closer, just trying to keep pushing forward. I personally feel that I have a strong work ethic and am able to align myself constantly with my goals. But, I still don't think I'm doing enough.

Support Your Local Library!

The published book is slowing deteriorating with the advent of e-readers, e-ink, e-pages, e-covers, e-porn. Libraries are dying, b. Don't let this happen! There is just something about having a real Playboy in your hand, turning musty (maybe crusty) paper pages... You can't replace that.

Seriously though, support your local library! There are many ways to support, here's how I personally did it.

The Handshake Debacle

I want to shed light on perhaps one of the more awkward things that happens amongst young males -- the casual handshake. You won't find many male/female interactions of this nature -- usually those interactions involve hugs (#inthere), kisses on the lips (#mybodyisready), feeling of breasts (#igab), etc.

But I digress, allow me to disect this handshake debacle.

Lost in Tokyo by Mark Bramley

This video takes you on a eclectic 3 minute tour of Japan (wild guess is that its Tokyo) filled with bright lights and acute and obtuse camera angles.

2012 Resolutions

Five super exciting resolutions for me! (not srs) At least I think I'll be able to keep them... maybe.

New Hero = Masunobu Sato

Masunobu Sato -- I respect and admire this man for he is the king of masturbation.

Gun Range Virgin

Today I went with a couple of my co-worker friends to the gun range -- it was my very first time (that's what she said? Maybe? I didn't build it up enough.. that's what she said? Maybe?).

My first thought was, 'Wow. These are real guns.'

My first emotion was, to be completely honest, fear.

Things I'm waiting for in the mail...

Seattle Skyline

Right here is one of my recent paintings -- it's of the Seattle skyline. I really like how it turned out and thought I would share it to the masses plus add a little of that artist commentary.

Andressa Soares though..

VALUE

Imagine there is a bank that every morning adds 86,400 dollars into your bank account. There is nothing wrong, they're all legit transactions done by a kind rich person.

But the bank does not keep the money to the next day -- every night the money that you didn't spend disappears.

What would you do in that situation?

You'd of course use all the money that was put in on your account, day after day. The funny part is that we actually have an account like that -- it isn't money that is transported into the account.

Great Children's Book

The type of Yelp review I hate

I hate the reviews on Yelp that are like, "I lived in Hawaii so I KNOW Hawaiian food... blah blah blah etc. etc. etc. I give it 1-star because I'm a dick." I'm sayin', just because you were from somewhere or lived some where for 1 hour or knew somebody ... that doesn't entitle you to know everything about that cuisine.

Makes me SEETHE.

Here's an example:

Robert F says - I grew up on Chinese/Cantonese/Taiwanese cuisine so I consider myself knowledgable on what good Chinese food tastes like.  

While this place had great decor and very cool/unique drinks, the food just didn't live up to it's brand promise.  I love the idea -- a modern take on the traditional staples of Chinese cuisine.  On the contrary, Bako's execution of that promise was entirely lacking.

 I REALLY wanted to like the food -- but I just couldn't :( 

This dude ended up giving the place 2-stars. Dude said, "I grew up on Chinese/Cantonese/Taiwanese/any Asian race you could ever think of so I consider myself..."

No. You said "grew up", you didn't say "cooked" so stop it -- for what we know, you could have just ate your mama's food, b.

"I AM ASIAN SO I KNOW ASIAN FOOD!"

"MY FRIEND IS ASIAN SO I KNOW ASIAN FOOD!"

"I USED CHOPSTICKS ONCE SO I KNOW ASIAN FOOD!"

"I WALKED THROUGH THE ETHNIC AISLE IN SAFEWAY ONCE SO I KNOW ASIAN FOOD!"

I always will skip those reviews, because they make me mad. 

Yes, I'm salty. #comeatmebro
