Hm…It’s been over five months since my last entry. Let’s just say life is still tough but (but’s are always good) things could be worse. Been spending most of my days either teaching the violin OR wasting time on the computer. I watch WAY too much computer…you might as well replace the word TV with computer now. With all these sites (legal and illegal) you could practically watch anything. Since my last entry, Mad Men season 3 has ended and Top Chef Las Vegas was SUPER fun! Started watching The West Wing (don’t know why this didn’t start sooner) and as usual, always watching Friends. Thank you Friendschanne1 on youtube! Then there are the usual shows I’ve been watching including Office, 30 Rock, Grey’s, Food network, etc. etc. And my new favorite show on tv these days is Modern Family. It’s funny, smart, cute, and heart warming all at the same time. Now THAT’S a good show.
Every so often, I watch something that inspires me. It so happens I was watching the Green Planet channel (one of a bajillion channels I have on FIOS) and there was a documentary on Russia’s wilderness. Long story short, the emphasis on tigers was really sad. So I was inspired to raise awareness the only way I know how, through chatting! Hence every day on my gchat status, I try to raise awareness of a new species that is endangered. Kinda learning a lot along the way and turning people’s heads. When people start to ask, “What is up with all the animals?” you know they are interested and my plan is working! How long can I keep it up? Who knows but probably forever since like every single animal and plant species on Earth is endangered. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not environmental Mother Earth freak. I just think it’s important we take care of our planet as humans and caretakers of what God has created for us.
And still looking for a job…the endless searching…but now new thoughts are coming into my head, especially in the form of Grad School. History MA-PhD??? Law School??? Public Policy-Government MPA??? Or all three? Or none? And I’m pretty much brainwashed at this point that I would make a great college professor. Why does everyone think I look and act like one? I bet if i dressed like a street thug and talked like Denzel Washington, people say something different…or would they?
Lately I’ve been watching way too many movies and tv. I go through tv shows like a box of pringles. Right now I’m watching AMC’s Mad Men, a REALLY fascinating show. Any history lover would like this show, but it’s interesting enough for anyone to enjoy. It’s no comedy but there’s a lot of different issues this show touches on. It’s fascinating to think that fifty years ago, life was just like what it was in this show. It’s really mindboggling to think how much has changed since the 60′s. I’ve never seen so much smoking in my life. The show does sorta make you wonder the benefits and limits of being successful. In a time of economic downturn, I think we all want to get out of this gutter and make tons of money and never look back. I know I do, but then how much is too much? When does all the money and power get to you where it starts creating problems? Unnatural desires? A Longing for more and what could have been?
, part of the local chain started in Baltimore, was fresh, creamy, intense, and absolutely delightful. Who needs to order desert at a restaurant when you can come here! Although it’s a little on the pricy side but well worth it. I think it beats all the gelato I’ve had so far, with Whole Foods and Splendora coming to a close second and third. GO try it out!
So I end up buying Golf for Dummies, and this other book on sale about how Tiger Woods plays golf. It was on sale. Only reason I would have bought it, well, it had lots of pictures too. I’ve been going through this golf stage, NOT phase, because I hope this one will last a lifetime. I mean having golf skills in a way is a life long and prosperous skill. It became clear to me that golf and business are like blue and yellow when they make green. A perfect harmony. Kinda like those Frito Lays commercials, which I like very much. Anyways, the last job interview I had made me realize the potentials of making really big deals and networking through golf. I mean if you’re somewhat rich and have a lot of time on your hand, you play golf. When was the last time you saw deals being closed on a basketball court or a tennis court? (You’d most likely find a flood of bitter emotions being unleashed in these settings.) Point is, golf is money. Period. Well, it’s fun too.
Sometimes I find myself wondering, “what is God up to in my life?” Whatever they are, good or bad, I at least have true friends in my life who will help me go through them, especially my brothers. And it’s almost weird calling them that because technically, I already have one. But Eric and Julius, if you read this, you truly are brothers to me in ways that are beyond words and actions
