Life as the role of a reducer

Sometimes life has the handy feature of being a reducer. It reduces you and everything you do down to its easiest elements. This kind of a value without value system is stupid and misleading but it does not justify the current state of affairs. At the given time you just have to put up with it none the less. Cheers.

Getting back to better right now

The usual stickiness aside things are getting better for you personally. At the given moment you are doing good things which also suits you. Still certain known deficiencies particularly in your personal life still exist. The current sitiation does however still live a lot to be desired.

Feeling the blackness of my own personality

Sometimes you are a bit darker by nature where your personality is concerned. None the less you have to make the best of the situation you are in and work within your limits and develop your skills as a person. This is my ongoing challenge to say the least. At the given moment things are going decently well for me. Cheers

Quieting down after a few busy days

A sense of normalcy is starting to return to my otherwise frenetic life in general. None the less things are going decently well from most angles. However certain things could definitely be better. At the given moment I have to do the best with the life I am given and I will let history be the judge of me.

Doing well but with some hick ups

This quarter has been a lot of really tough and at some times utterly boring work for you personally. None the less albeit with some problems you are doing relatively well for yourself. Still in the long run you want to find ways to do this process smarter. Cheers.

None the less I have to do what is right for me and those around me at the given time. Still I getting through a tough spot in terms of relationships in my life. Enough said, it is time to buck down and work

Relationships plus others

Relationships are about give and take and communication at all levels. However certain relatives think it is a one way street. This notion is both stupid and fool hardy and will only land you into trouble in the long. None the less we have to focus on what we think is important in both the here and now. Additionally we have to do the best job we can with the lives we are given and the people that we have cheers.

Creating new art

art and design is something you are good at that you wish you did more of. None the less you can do a certain amount of it right now. Still things are alright and getting better. None the less you have to do what is right and correct the majority of the time. Cheers.

So I will be checking back in with you soon. Cheers.

Taking a look at the rest of your life

In the next two to three years I will be asking and answering some big picture questions about what I am going to do with the rest of my life. These are tough and necessary questions that will determine the course of my personal destiny. None the less things are pretty good and getting better slowly. Cheers.

Assessing the future and seeing the past

Right now you are into assessing the future and seeing the past. You are also focused on living within your means and doing so adroitly. None the less certain things could defintely be better for you. Some tough times are ahead and navigating the waters will be tough to do. Still it is worth doing.

A tale of decent grades and hard work

It kind of sucks, my major of choice is unavailable for under graduate work in community college. None the less I am doing decently well for myself which is not bad in and of itself. It is good proof that you are not a total and complete useless schmuck. None the less certain things could definitely be better at least on a personal note. At this given moment in time you are focusing on doing the right things for the right reasons.

Creating the future as I see it

In this life time you are about creating ideas that work. None the less things could be better for you in several regards. The inert stickiness of your personal situation is partly your fault. It is also the fault of others around you as well. You realize that your family has unhealthy ways of handling its own emotions. The situation is completely undesirable to say the least. None the less you have to make the best of the situation you are in and have to take in the cold comfort. Cheers.

Focusing on the future

At the current moment I focused on the here and now. However I also occasionally think about the big picture. The future namely is a pretty good one both for me individually and us collectively. None the less a lot of work still remains to be done. Also tough decisions for me will have to be made as well. Cheers.

Crunch time in the quarter

Things are going decently well for you academically this quarter but they could be better. You seem to have hit the cross roads in life and your decisions in the next six and half months will determine your future. None the less things are pretty good for you all around. Still a lot of tough and boring work yet remains.

Progress report grade B-

Right now your decent and not stellar grades puts you in the B- category. You are doing decently well for yourself this quarter with decent prospects for a strong finish. Certain things in your personal life could definitely be better however things are getting better for you and others around you. Cheers.

A tale of decent grades and hard work

College has a lot of blood, sweat and tears involved. None the less things are going decently well for you so you feel you are not currently in the dog house. However things on the personal front could be better. At this moment in time you have arrived at the cross roads of your life and your decisions in the next three years will determine your individual desinty. Still things could be better.

Upgrading the house internet

The house internet needs an upgrade. None the less it is good to have working internet even if it sucks. Still I wish things were better none the less things are getting back to a sense of normalcy cheers.

Angles of responsibility

This year I am focusing on angles of responsibility in the near term. None the less things will be better and are getting better. Some things are still defecient however and will have to be amended. None the less I am working to make the best of the situation I am given. Cheers

Thinking of the big picture in loose terms

Right now my immediate goal is to earn my AA from De Anza college. Once that is accomplished I can focus on the big picture in general. It is nice to know for a change that you are not entirely in the dog house. Still this world definitely does have its defficiencies I will not pretend that is not the case. However things are alright and getting better provided you continue to do a high level of work for school. Cheers.

Motivation

In this lifetime you want to focus more sharply on doing the right things for the right reasons. You also want to unwaste your life even if you have to do it the hard way. Right now things are going alright for you right now. You are doing decently well in school but not spactacularly and your personal situation although sticky is getting better. This succinct conclusion is excellent but difficult none the less. Cheers

Why your opinion matters

You have a given right to like what you like and dislike what you dislike. None the less I hate when other people pretend they are right all the time. They full well know they are not and they also pretend that they do not make mistakes. This is sheer arrogance on their part borderlining on stupidity. Sometime the truth can be kind of brutal and what is says about my other families says is what monumentally bad characters they all are at the core. Seriously people you need to find better ways with dealing with your negative emotions than taking it out on other people. It is both negative and insanely short sighted. Cheers.

Of authority and contrition

Authority figures think they are always right. They full well know they are not. In fact they make just as many mistakes as you or I. They however take the point of view that I am correct and superior in all things. This is generally speaking stupid but it is what it is. Right now I just have to put up with it.

The Quest for Pedagogical excellence

Right now I am focused on graduating. I have goals and I am working towards them. Things are going decently well for me which is good news for a change. But a lot of work remains to say the least. The world can be a hard and cold place at times but things aren't totally bad. None the less I have to do what I have to do.

Assessing the pedogical future

Right now I am at the cross roads of life. My decisions will shape my destiny personally and I have the following question to ask. Which advanced degree is better a degree in graphic arts or an MFA. Both of which have their advantages and draw back and both will require blood, sweat and tears to earn. None the less it is a good question to have to ask one's self none the less. Cheers.

Relationship blues

Right now I am in an emotional tough spot. Some of the many relationships in my life aren't working productively right now. However in certain areas other relationships are working decently well. What sucks for me is I do not seem to be entitled to have my opinions and thought process. I have to like what everyone else likes. It seems stupid to me but it is what it is. For now I will have to put up with it and make the best of it. Cheers.

Unwasting your life the hard way

Everything happens for a reason and everything is hard. None the less certain situations can have upside to say the least. That is the situation I am now in right at this given moment. Putting your life back in order is a tough task but I will relish doing it none the less. Cheers.

Putting your life back together again in pieces

Right now I am in the process of putting my life back together again. It will be difficult to do and will not be pleasant to go through but it will be done. Somethings in life are not fun but have to be done none the less. Still I am looking forward to a brighter future in many ways. Cheers.

Private laments

One of my great private laments in life is that I do not spend nearly enough time doing what I like and am good at and I spend far to much time doing quality work for people who neither like nor care for what you do. Also you do realize that the quality of your contributions will be ripped to shreds later. Do I like that this happens not in the slightest but do I believe it will happen absolutely. None the less I must make the best of an exceedingly stupid world.

The nature of reality

Sometimes reality can be ugly. The nature of which is something that you do not want to think about so much but you have to none the less. We are in tough times and we will have to make the most of our situation. Sometimes doing the right thing is the tough thing but is the right thing to do none the less. Cheers

Details

Details are things you ordinarily do not enjoy viewing with exceptional clearness. None the less you like to focus on the big picture well. This is the situation as things stack up for you personally. The writing of this post does sound off a few cords about the nature of life itself. None the less you are trying to make the best of your current situation. Cheers.

The Near Future

Right now I am focusing on the near future. Both on what it means to me and what it is in general. Things aren't totally bad but they could be better. None the less I am feeling pretty good. Doing the correct actions is appropriate even if they have tough consequences. Your actions and decisions will shape your destiny for both the good and the bad. Both have to be taken in stride to say the least.

The Truth sometimes hurts

Lets face it sometimes the truth hurts. I found much to my chagrin that certain family members have an acute disdain for this entity. They ignore it at their own peril. Doing so means you are arrogant borderlining on stupid. The truth is the truth and systematically ignoring it can have deliterious effects. Confronting it however and doing something meaningful about is the better way to go. However don't let the voice of reason get in the way.

Doing the right things for the right reasons

Sometimes in life the correct action can be the right thing to do but it can also land you in trouble. This shouldn't in fact be the case but it some how is. Putting up with the rest of the world and its innate stupidity can sometimes get to you. None the less you have to continue doing the right things for the right reasons. Cheers.

Thoughts on the upcoming election

It will take a major screw up on behalf of our current president to loose the current election. Lets face it the alternatives aren't great. But overzealousness and pure stupidity could rob us of a second term. We wonder how could this situation be? It does smack of severe irony to say the least.

I am a fan of safeway

Ill be the first to say that I am a fan of safeway. I buy the majority of my groceries from them and they are a great supplier. First of all no corporation does everything right the majority of the time. None the less others do well to clean up their act considerably. None the less it is good times and fun eating for all.

Super boring and totally useful

Somethings in life can be both super boring and yet totally useful at the same time. School is one of those such entities. Figuring things out and making things work for you is a difficult task. None the less it is doable. So far things are getting better on an incremental basis. Right now I am in the process of putting my life slowly back together again.

Why FHM beats Maxim and why Marvel beats DC

Being a guy has several things to be liked and desired. Namely that certain publications are better than others and certain out fits get the characters right. This is certainly true of things in a lot of ways. For example FHM is a superior guy mag to Maxim in most respects. Just as Marvel makes better comics consistently than does DC by the same token. These are certain abiding truths in the matter of taste category.

The Water Down effect revisited

You seem to be a person who does a remarkable amount of things very well. None the less you feel incredibly slighted and totally under appreciated. Things shouldn't be this way but they some how are. None the less you have to make the best of the given situation you are in right now. Sometimes presence of will is good enough. The water down effect takes place when you do quality jobs and are still ignored. Truth and pain are constant companions. Cheers.

The Nature of Cold reality and the rest of it all

Reality is cold lets face it. Aspects of it down right suck. None the less making the best of the given situation is a difficult art form given the present climate and situation. None the less I am determined to do the right thing the majority of time even if it is the decidely more difficult thing to do. None the less things are getting better around here on an incremental basis

Hatching a plan to go back to the Phillippines

Right now a plan is in the works to get me back on Phillippine soil as soon as is humanly possible. This is a good reason from several points of view. Namely that opportunities for people like me are slightly better there and here. None the less a good and largely positive time will be had by all.

The final days of the Christmas break

The count down to the return to California begins right now and things are getting better slowly. My family situation remains a little more involute than I would like it to be. However things on this front are getting better. I am going to have to rethink a lot of the relationships in my life and this process will not be so good to go through. None the less what has to be done will be done.

Assessing the future and tacking the wind

Right now you are in a shifting phase and things are getting better albeit slowly. Reorienting yourself is a difficult but not insurmountable task. You have to find out for you what works and what works for others as well. This is a difficult art that is going to get better all the time none the less.

Back to the pedagocical draffting board for you

The Post secondary life is a touch and go experience from start to finish. Regular college was good but the people were douchebags. None the less you are trying to do your best to make the best out of a bad situation. This is no mean feat mind you however it is what has to be done. Sometimes facing the music can have its advantages. This is one of those such experiences at least on a personal scale.

The Better Candidate clearly won

I have to say this about the 2008 presidential election. Barack Obama was clearly the superior candidate even from the start. The next level of democrats under him all basically suck. This would include Hilary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and Al Franken. This assessment is genuine and Hilary Clinton would have been a terrible candidate if she had been elected as such. Kudos to you Mr. Obama now deal better with the recession ahead.
