  • Beach Season


    I don't know about you but I personally look forward to beach season. The warm weather, the tanning sun, and the scantily clad women perusing the white sanded shores. The sight of endless blue waters calms the spirit, the sound of the waves crashing manages to ease the soul. The radiant sun basques your body in a glowing warm heat, you close your eyes and take a whiff and its as if you can taste the salt in the air.

    How could anyone not enjoy going to a place that mystifies all 5 senses? You lounge around all day, play some volleyball, throw the football around, eat some fresh fruit and drink some cold beverages. If that ain't great, I don't know what is. Plus you catch a nice tan that adds a point or two to your sex appeal scale.

    On that note, I try to exercise a tad bit more in preparation for the summer months. Now, I'm not saying I exercise a lot. In fact, I'm generally a pretty lazy person so I'm actually really thankful that I have a fairly athletic body without really having to do much to maintain it. But with the summer coming up it never hurts to have a little more to show off. And oh how I enjoy showing off.

  • Friday (3.14) was my 21st birthday.

    I celebrated it last night with the brothers of my fraternity at our convention. Thanks to all the bros that bought me drinks.
    You fuckers.

    I have never been that trashed.

    I don't even remember most of the night.
    I don't remember the glasses I smashed.
    The speaker I broke.
    The wires I tripped over.
    The 34239 times I fell on my face.
    The presentations.
    The fight I almost got into.
    The lapdance I received from the whale woman.
    (damn you beer goggles!)
    The conversations I had.
    The people I talked to.
    The random things I shouted.
    The number of drinks I had.
    How I managed to get back into my hotel room.

    I do remember:
    I puked at least four times.
    The first 10 shots I had at the bar between 4:30pm - 5:00 pm.
    Hanging off of brother's shoulders most of the night.
    Making a pretty celebrity shot in beer pong.
    Giving two awesome lapdances.
    Being carried back to the car around 12am.
    Almost dying in a car crash.
    (a drunk brother drove my car. some DD he was lol)
    Waking up to two brother's bare asses about to be pressed on my face.
    And puking the fifth time in the morning.

    I quit alcohol.

    haha.

    sike.

  • Free Compliments


    I went to a new place to get a haircut today and got this joyfully spirited woman to cut my hair. As she was going about her business she splashed me with numerous compliments talking about how I'm "gorgeous" and how I "should be a model". At first I was flattered but then I instantly thought "she must be working me to get a bigger tip"; which didn't bother me at all actually. She probably knows compliments equal better tips and I still enjoyed hearing her tell me what a looker I was. Who knows, maybe she sincerely meant it.

    But then I wondered, what if she wasn't cutting my hair and just happened to be a random stranger on the street? Or someone I just happened to have struck up a conversation with? Would she have complimented me then? Did she mean it when she told me the first time? Maybe she just digs Asians? In any case, would she have given me that compliment without any ulterior motives?

    I thought about this a few years ago and how I wanted to be able to compliment someone, be it stranger or friend, at least once a day. Just brighten up someone's day for no other reason other than to make their day a little more enjoyable. Give away free compliments basically. I can't honestly say I do it daily but I do try to do it often. But there's a problem with complimenting people just because you feel like it.

    Some people get defensive about it. It might be a New York thing where everyone pretty much expects nothing for free. It might also be the fact that in New York, starting up random conversation with strangers is frowned upon and doing so earns you a dirty look. Even friends sometimes question the reasoning behind compliments as well. As a guy, complimenting a female friend has sometimes made them think that I was flirting or trying to get with them when it wasn't true (women always seem to jump right to that conclusion lol). But after today, I think I'm gonna try and get back on that goal of complimenting at least one person a day.

    How often do you compliment someone just because?


    (and just in case you were wondering, i tipped her a touch over 30%)

  • What Would You Do?


    ... if you won the lottery? The proverbial question! Say you won 50 million dollars after taxes and all that. What would you do with it? Buy a new house? New cars? New shoes? New boyfriend/girlfriend? Invest it? Give it to charity? Throw a huge party? There's so many options!

    I hear winners often go bankrupt REAL quick. Let's not forget about the stress and pressure that comes with it due to "relatives" coming out of the woodwork looking to get their hands in your pockets. It would seem sometimes that the cons outweigh the pros... sike lol.

    I know the odds. I know it's practically impossible but I always like to entertain the thought. Here's what I'd do:

    - Create some kind of payment cycle where I pretty much earn an annual income of $150,000. I'd do the same thing for my brother (with more money) and my parents (with less money). I'd want my parents to maintain their working schedules without having any pressure to work overtime or overexert themselves unless they just loved doing the job. I'd want my brother to go into any field he wanted without any pressure of school tuition. (I did the math it comes out to about 25 mil over the course of 50 - 75 years).
    - Give 5 million to my family and close relatives and do whatever they want with it. I'd suggest  to them to do what I'd be doing so they don't go bankrupt but who knows if they'd listen.
    - Save 10 million for my future children and grandchildren.
    - Maybe give away a couple million away to the charities that I'd deem valuable or important to society.
    - Pay the tuition for my close friends so they can go to school without the pressure of money haunting them (since school tuition in America is stupidly expensive).
    - Buy a Range Rover haha

    Once I got all the details smoothed over. I would pretty much just go about educating myself throughout my life. Between my 20 - 30s, since I'm young I'd do a lot of physical education, i.e. martial arts (boxing or bjj probably), breakdancing / dance classes, instrumentals (guitar and piano maybe drums?). I'd also try and learn 5 - 10 new languages throughout the course of my life.

    Then I'd spend a lot of time in school just learning. Whatever majors I felt like pursuing, I'd probably do so. I'd try and end my life with probably 4 - 7 different Bachelor degrees and a few Masters and maybe one or two Doctorate degrees.

    I don't need to live lavishly like celebrities. I'd want to be comfortable (150k/yr definitely covers that) and just be able to enjoy life. A few vacations every now and then, spoil myself whenever I felt like it. You know that kind of stuff. Who knows. But that'd be my plan. Of course all this is just a playful thought.

    What would you do?
