  • Old Age

    You are old when:

    1) When you have more regrets than dreams.
    2) When you believe the best part of your life is behind you.
    3) When your mind is more occupied by memories than aspirations.

  • Life

    There is so much shit to do and so little time.   

    Gone are the days when you would have a packet of homework for the week, finish it all on Monday, and be free for the rest of the week.

    I am amazed by my parents for waking up every day and going to work for the last 25-30 years.   I have only worked 3 years now and I am already trying to scheme a way to break out of this ridiculous cycle.

    Even with all the travel and vacation time and freedom I have, I still feel caged.   

    Am I the only one?  

    If not, what are we going to do?

    Run away together!!!

  • Sex

    If sex is suppose to be beautiful and intimate, why our relationships/friendships destroyed in the aftermath of attempting to be full on lovers?

    When sex is not in play, why is it easier to remain friends?

    What is it about sex that sometimes makes us devalue the other person once we get it?

    Or was the whole friendship a ruse from the start just to be in this situation with another soul and once achieved, there is nothing left?

    Are we not more beautiful than this?

  • Please Send Your Prayers

    Thank you Xanga.

    Thank you all <3

     

     update: at the hospital , its actually a lot more than stitches.the back of her skull is fractured and her entire face has swollen. please continue prayers for full recovery.

  • Smart Drugs

    What are nootropics and where can I get some (legally)?  

    Please advise. 

  • Quickly!

    If you keep running, maybe your thoughts can't catch up to you.

    This is not a bad thing.  For me, its the adrenaline.  I am like a pitbull locked on to my target and I never question the reason why I locked on in the first place, but now that I am locked on, you bet I am not going to let go.   It is like two couples fighting yelling at each other and trying to win the argument but not knowing why they argued in the first place.

    My life sometimes feels that way and sometimes I get caught into the swing of things, and i forget why I am running. 

    My friend has been talking about quitting her job for the longest time, but has not been able to because she is always so busy.  She was discussing this with her doctor and the doctor said its because its her adrenaline. It keeps her moving, but she took a week off of work and was able to sit and reflect. The doctor said the serotonin kicked in which is the opposite of adrenaline and it is the serotonin that helps you think clearly.  I am no scientist or doctor, but that makes sense to me.  

    When you are in the heat of the moment, you do not want to lose.  You do not want to give up.  Sometimes you are forced out of a situation so you may have some clarity.   Have a moment to think things through.

    I don't know where I am, and I dont know where I am going.  Sometimes its okay to admit that.  Not all who wander are lost.  I am just gonna stroll around and enjoy the sites I see. Hope to meet some more amazing people in this stage. 

     

    My recent adventures:

     

  • Manbeast vs Life

    My friend sends me "street art" she finds in LA.  Hilarious.   Game on life. Game on! 

     

    "The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbow. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are … It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

    You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It ‘s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done."

  • Faking It

    Sometimes I have no idea what I am doing at my job, but I have to pretend I fully understand.

    Customer's Email:

      For autotest, we will probably start out with dual sup2T, and 2 Ringar, and then change the Ringar at a later date to use the proposed loopback card. We still have to finalize the development strategy and timeframe when the new card will be ready. Ringar can only test half the serial channels per slot while the loopback card would test all 4 channel. 
     
      The final config will be dual sup2T, loopback cards in 4 slot, and then a legacy card in one slot to cover the Ganymede bus. The Cetus design is changing though — they may reduce the backplane layer count and not support legacy cards. If they go this route then we will use loopback cards in all slots

    My Email:

    Noted.  Thank you for the update.

     

    For me, its like reading out of a textbook again.  School was not so useless after all.  

    Fake it until you make it. 

  • Burn the Ships

    From Think and Grow Rich:

    A long while ago, a great warrior faced a situation which made it necessary for him to make a decision which insured his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, “You see the boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now have no choice — we win — or we perish!”

    Success in anything takes resolve.  And the more difficult to achieve or the more rewarding the prize, the more resolve and commitment towards the end goal there needs to be.   

    People are silly creatures and given an easier way out, our ego tells us that the prize is not worth it; that there is a next time and we were not ready at this moment.   

    Relationships are very much the same way.  I feel like its a constant game of who is willing to give more and we are always holding back our best and so therefore both parties lose.  

    Joe and David were good friends and Joe had marbles while David had pogs. David wanted to trade all his pogs for all of Joe's marbles.  They talked about it during recess that day and agreed.  That day when David went home and he gathered all his pogs together, he started to think to himself.  "What if Joe keeps his best marbles?"   David started to sort out all of his favorite pogs and he kept them.   The next day David and Joe met and they traded.  Joe gave all his marbles and David gave "all" his pogs.   Joe seemed very happy with the trade.  That night David could not sleep.  He kept thinking what marbles he was missing out on?

    I will always give you my best.  My very best <3
