The guy version of the couple's necklace I got for my gf for Valentine's Day

Haven't been writing much still (duh); although I read in a Times magazine article that when we are in a high stress situation, we lose available brain power to think clearly, and by writing out and expressing how we feel about it, will help us overcome the anxiety and perform better. I might do that soon.

Absolutely love women with tattoos

Hopefully will have more photoshoots of them.

I try to not blog about anything that is about someone that reads my blog.

And i'll continue that trend.

Big big news.. that don't cause me to write much about it for some reason: moving out at the beginning of next month.
Yeah.
Finally.

Like I said though, I don't have an urge to write about this.
Maybe it is too many things swirling around in my head..but.. don't feel like writing about it.
Maybe later.

Oh. This is what I should have in my new place.

Hope there is good soundproofing.

Its amazing that some people know exactly what to say or do to set you off (in a bad mood).

And then there are those that know you so well, they know exactly what to say to make you feel 100% better.

A support system is so important to success.

I wonder if it is just simple coincidence, or something greater.

I had a dream about a person last night and was thinking about said person this morning while driving to work. And lo and behold, I see that same person working an unusually early shift.

..Writing has been an important exercise to clarify what I believe, what I see, what I care about, what my deepest values are and thats the process which makes you ask tougher questions ~Barak Obama

Its important to not complain about things you cannot control, to instead be aware of reasons/causes of your issues, to have solutions or steps to having a solution to those problems and to lastly be thankful in the things you do have.
Its an important lesson that i've learnt over the past few years.

I typically don't like having New Years resolutions b/c i'm the type of person to not rely on a certain day of the year to change my habits.. but I think that if it helps you get to the part to achieve positive change in your life, it's worth doing. 2 of my most major goals this year.. that kinda HAS TO happen.. and thus WILL happen is: 
1. Get a new job
2. Move out

Simple, no?
lol
I've set my mind to it, I have a plan.. so I ..think.. it will happen.

I have an excel sheet of things I want to accomplish as well every day which will lead me to accomplishing those two goals among other smaller (but still significant)goals:
- working out consistently
- studying poses and techniques for photography
- job prep (resume and cover letter refinement)
- rosetta stone
- blogging more consistently
- stock research
- research/steps to moving out
- a-photo-a-day (might literally need to be 1 photo a day)
- leisure reading every day

Having a plan.. then having a schedule.. then sticking to your schedule will achieve results. It won't be easy.. but it must be done!

Note to self:
1. Make sure I don't send thank you cards so late; probably easier said than done, but i've been receiving these thank you cards like 6-10 months after the wedding.. kinda slow

2. Make them more specific, the thank yous that is. Specify the gift you received, instead of just a generic description

Haha; in regards to that "Restless" article I wrote in 2009, I check it, it has 1.2k views. I have NO idea why it is being referenced every single day (about 10 times a day), but I finally changed it to protected status.. and see whether that makes a difference.

I have never wrote or blogged to get traffic, its not the kind of person I am: I don't care if anyone really reads anything I write (altho I kind wish more people looked at my photos). Its kind creepy when people visit the same entry over and over though..
