No More Fucking Around

Last night, after a good nights sleep, I seemed to have one of those revelations where I wake up and I decide that I need to set goals in my life to keep myself motivated or else I will continue on my road of slacking off. I feel that if I actually want things to happen, I must keep myself motivated. With that being said, I am willing to make a pledge with myself and anyone else who wants me to succeed in life...

#1 I must pass all my classes for the rest of the Spring '09 semester During the spring break as I talk to all my friends who have come back to the city, they all seem like they are doing well in their classes. Not only are they passing their classes and staying motivated to getting A's in their classes, but they're are going above that by doing things to set them up for success in the future. Many people are getting internships or some kind of job to help them get experience for the future. Others (you know who you are) are finally getting their priorities straight and going to classes and achieving in class in order to get to where they want to be, and I admire that. Passing my classes is just the first step I need to take to become successful. Eventually, I must graduate college and find a good job in order to repay my parents for all their hard work in raising my brother and I.

#2 As much as I say it, and never do it, I will try to stop toking the way I have been lately. Even though I've had ALOT of fun and made some good memories and stories, I just don't have the money right now to be doing it. Spending too much money on something that is unnecessary. Most people got to experience that stuff in high school, but I didn't so I guess I let loose in college when I went through it. A lot of people who did it back then, don't do it much anymore and seems like it was just a phase in their life. I enjoyed learning about a whole new culture and lifestyle as well as all the chill people I've met and "relaxed" with. I'm sure that I will never give it up for GOOD, but I do have self-control and will constrain myself from it being a daily habit.

#3 I am going to try my best to make as much money as I can, and save as much money as I can. When I had jobs in the past, I loved it even though it was hard work. The reason? I loved being able to spend money on things I wanted, without having to go to my parents for support. I know my parents have been having money troubles lately, and I guess I haven't been the best son in helping them out. I hate relying on them for money because every time I would run out of money in my account, I would have to ask them and then they would know how much I spent because they're the ones putting the money into my account. If it were up to them, I wouldn't spend any money and would just work hard in school, yet that's not what reality is. I have hobbies, interests, and needs to spend money on. The thing is I need to distinguish between what I can hold off on and what I can afford getting. Which segways into my next point...

#4 I will find a job this summer in order to save up money to purchase a car. I feel that at this point in my life a car is a necessity. I always appreciate those who give me rides home (Jesse, Jenn, Holly, Andrew) and that is why I want a car of my own after all these years. I always feel like I am burdening them, and that they are going out of their way to drive me home. Having a car would be so much easier, I would be able to transport myself where ever I go and be more independent in general. I have been looking around on Craigslist and the car I want is the Mitsubishi Eclipse (1995-1999). It only cost ~4k-5k and I think I can make at least 1k or 2k in the summer if I work a lot. If I can pay for at least half the car, my brother chips in for the other half, and my parents cover the insurance, I think it would doable.

#5 and last but not least, my body is important to me so I pledge to get back into shape. I love working out, I love how I progress when I do, and I love it when people notice. Lately I have been building up a lil gut and when I look in the mirror, I am not impressed. Last semester there were times when I went to the gym religiously everyday, or at least 2x a week. This semester I've gone to the gym a total of 2x. Along with my #2 pledge, I am going to run more to lose some of that munchies weight and to go to the gym 2-3x a week. As soon as I can, I am also going to get some more protein powder and start drinking a shake or two everyday to up my protein intake everyday in order to gain some potential muscle mass.

This has been quite a long blog, and I thank anyone who took the time to read it. This is to better myself and I am hoping I can achieve all these goals by next year at most. Help me stay on my path and keep me reminded of my goals, FIGHTING!

TARCK SUPER STARSSS

Kim Jong Kook - Today More Than Yesterday

(I DO)
Can you look at one person for the rest of your life? (I DO)
Can you care for someone else more than you do yourself? (I DO)
I can answer whoever asks me (I DO)
You, you're my love

I will not promise you
If I knew i was going to waver, even for a little bit
I don't start anything, If I know that the heart can heal itself

I love you more than I did yesterday
I have never met someone so important and precious to me
that it hurts, to meet you
to feel this happiness
I must have dealt with a lot of pain.

When the days are hard, it gets sad
The pain that causes the tears to come
it will end someday
the only thing that is endless is our love

I love you more than I did yesterday
I have never met someone so important and precious to me
that it hurts, to meet you
to feel this happiness
I must have dealt with a lot of pain

I dont want to do this ever again
breaking-up unless it's a break-up to meet you once more
whenever and forever

Because it feels like my overwhelming heart will explode
because I think the person before my eyes isn't really you
I run, and embrace the breathing you
I am the idiot, who let go of his worries

I love you more than I did yesterday
I have never met someone so important and precious to me
that it hurts, to meet you
to feel this happiness
I must have dealt with a lot of pain

i hope i will find someone who can make me feel like this...

stay relaxedddd

weekdays have been nothing but school work. homework, classes, quizes/tests keep me pretty occupied during the week. weekends in sj have been pretty fun. ALOT of relaxing and riding. some days during the weekend are strictly: wake and bake, FEAST, ride/tarck, relaxxx, FEAST, ride some more, comeback FEAST, shower and sleep at 5am.

even though these weekends are pretty fun chillen and relaxing, sometimes a change is good as well. the other night went to a music concert with a good friend cuz we had to watch it for class. it was chill cuz we usually only talk in class and this was the first time we had a chance to talk OUTSIDE of class and it felt good. after the concert, grabbed a bite to eat at Sa-By Thai? food was pretty good and filling, good chance to talk there too. all in all, good night away from SJF and all the other idiots i hang out with on a regular day.

met and talked to a few females casually without looking like a complete idiot for once. and it was all thanks to mary jane haha. i really believe it helps people to loosen up and have their real personality come out. no fear about saying the wrong things, and just speaking about what it truley on your mind. and for the most part THAT is what girls really like...
