Month: July 2008

  • new rule

    never order soup dishes when eating out w/ friends.
    only rice dishes, or entrees that i can split up into half, and take out.
    this is easier on my stomach & at the same time creates an extra free meal.
    it's a no brainer.
    goodbye pho dac biet xe lua, maybe i will meet you again one day, when i'm wealthy.

  • today's theme

    humility and strength.

  • new goal

    to be able to do flares on the ground. 

  • 24 hr fitness

    only problem with 24 hr fitness is their lighting. it needs to be brighter.
    who wants to work out in a place that is dim?

  • become a manager

    i wonder if i can become a manager at ******
    the lower ranking ones make about 40k/year.
    all i need is a 4 year degree.
    i already have one.
    but, considering where i came from.
    i think if i challenge for that position too early.
    it will just ruin my confidence.
    i should stick to my original plan of doing salesfloor for 1 year.
    and, see from there.
    the executive of operations, also just a 4 year degree... makes 130k./year.
    but i think these dudes get those positions because they have worked at ****** for a long time.
    managers at ****** always are made fun of.. but making 130k, that's pretty respectable.
    it's more than some doctors.

  • my abs

    i read so many articles saying regular crunches don't work.
    high  repetition is not the way to get a six pack.
    it's all bullshit.
    it's all about crunches & doing high repetition.
    i have been doing about 150-200 crunches a day.
    i think in about 2-3 months it will be like one of those dudes in 300.

  • the working-class aura

    i've been working at ****** for over 2 months now.
    i'm starting to absorb the working class aura.
    when i walk into other stores where there are workers, i feel like i'm one of them.
    i can feel a vibe with them and know we are going through the same struggles.

    before i used to look down on them thinking they were trashy people who couldn't earn college degrees.
    now, i'm just one of them.
    lol

    i really enjoy this job tho. i just need to stabilize & evolve a little more so that i become more emotionally available in conversations.

    also, i fucking hate having people above me. it is a really humbling experience to take orders from people.
    50k/hr & freedom to 8/hr and taking orders. it sucks, but luckily most of my managers are hot asian women.

  • big deal out of small things

    my main problem is that i make a big deal out of small things.
    also, a big deal out of assumptions & guesses.
    if i can get over doing that, i would really become a relaxed person.

    today was emotionally chaotic,
    but somehow got through it seemingly ok.

  • biting my breakfast

    huge discovery: when biting my food, in my mouth... if i evenly distribute the food on both sides of teeth, i get double the work done with the same amount of bites. lol i think i was only biting with my right side.

    today's focus... manly, chill, friendly, smile.

  • i love this girl

    look at how she dances. omgwtf
