'I’ve crossed these sands many times, said one of the camel drivers one night. But the desert is so huge, and the horizon so distant, that they make a person feel small, and as if he should remain silent. The boy intuitively knew what he meant, even without having ever set foot in the desert before. Whenever he saw the sea, or a fire, he fell silent, impressed by their elemental force.' * The change in enthalpy is related to a change in internal energy ( ) and a change in the volume ( ), which is multiplied by the constant pressure of the system
"Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty... I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well."

Stumbled into the most ingenious coffee shop right outside of Korea town on Broadway. Many themes in the shop refer to some of your favorite games. Plus the organic, artsy vibe it's giving off takes me to this place in between Savannah and NYC. Figuratively of course, not quite North Carolina. Thank you for the hospitality and new friendship.
-Instead of saying "sorry", try a different word. No need to come off as so apologetic all the time, especially when you could just say "hi" or "excuse me" instead.
-The big font on my phone screen does make me feel matured initially, but boy do they make seeing/comprehending a lot quicker.
-The best things in life aren't always free. Sometimes you have to lose a little money to learn what the best things are. --Like not playing for a mac on quibids.
-Eat breakfast. I've gone years without making it a priority and now it may finally be catching up on me.
-Asking for help is not a bad thing. Everyone is going to think you are doing just great if you do not ask.
-Manage to wake up earlier to work on a project. My goal time is 5:30. There's something good about working on something you want to do, that you spend the day thinking about, not getting to it because you are tired when you get home, but managing to squeeze it in, in the a.m. that is rewarding. Also, I was reading an article how you shouldn't use a computer that early--which is true, because time seems to go so much faster bee-lining around the web--but I feel my email's are so much more effective then.
-The big thing on so many brands minds now is how can I evolve to stay relevant, how can I make myself desirable to the market of today since my past market is maturing, or how can I cater to that same customer at the age they are now. Just something I've been thinking a lot about, because you as a person, as a music artist, or average joe, do have some innate desire to be somehow relevant. Note: Desire is a big/key term at the moment.

-Be patient, be dedicated, try
It's always good having moments where I feel like I am coming back down to earth. Especially now.
The most interesting thing to growing is watching yourself change. Approximately each month, once or twice a month, an employee sale would roll around. And over time, something that used to be so easy to resist, became so irresistible. I would begin to plan out what I would get during the next one. My "goals" per say would become new items, clothes, branded scented aqua, all temporary things. And during times when my feet would touch the floor again, I would feel kind of sad. My real goals, my real dreams/ambitions started to seem less important and less realistic and so in its place I would put very real material things. A moto jacket can come with the dream, but shouldn't be the whole dream.
As with any journey, you learn things, about yourself, about the world, and you keep going forward, searching for your treasure. Something much more valuable, something much more true, something that can really bloom.
For now, there is lasagna to enjoy and company to enjoy it with. Much success Miguel.
On a softer note, we had each other. And really I always have them --And really they always make life more bearable, or better... more worth it. Thanks for keeping my head up above water, above snow.
How easy it is to log on and recall when not so good things happen, when on the flip side, on the real side, there are so many good things to celebrate. And it's so good to feel happy, and realize you feel happy. Good thing we have pictures.
Happy New Year Friends. So good to have another shot at those resolutions. Really, everyday's another shot. To another year of learning and meeting brilliant friends. Best best wishes.
