a moment of self-reflection
so two days ago i came home from work around 1130PM. i noticed that there was a card on my desk addressed to me. i opened it up, it was a christmas card from my uncle john, and inside was a gift card to coldstone. sadly, the first thought that went through my head was, “i don’t like coldstone.” and then i realized something. i was extremely ungrateful and selfish. here is a man...

Watchericyumyum:
Every year, DJ Earworm use his talents to create a mashup that includes some of the top songs of 2011. He did it again this year with these songs. And with these songs he created the 2011 mashup, “World Go Boom”. 2011 gave us songs of regret and anger, pride and perseverance, and lots of fire.
Adele – Rolling In The Deep
Adele – Someone Like You
Black Eyed Peas – Just Can’t Get...

One of my favorite pick-up lines.. “You see my friend over there? She wants to know if you think I’m cute.”

discover people's back stories
isaacmartinez:
the total history of almost anyone would shock almost everyone.
learn to discover people’s backgrounds. ask and listen for the clues. their histories reveal many things. they can explain fears and prejudices. they can unravel mysteries. they can give your warnings. or insights.

life's symphony
isaacmartinez:
live in joy and in kindness even among those who hate. live in joy and in health even among the sick.
to live content with small means. to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich. to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart. to study hard, to think quietly, to act frankly, and...
be committed
isaacmartinez:
behind every insecure person, there’s a person that made them that way.
one of the reasons that i sort of tried to share that with people is i wanted maybe to open the eyes of people who haven’t been through the experience and maybe feel tempted to say, “this is what you’re doing to the person you love, this is the private hell you’re going to send them into if they...

stand your ground
isaacmartinez:
well then let them hate you but let it be because you are a good person in a bad world and bad always hates good.
sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. you have to know that you’re a good person and a good friend. what’s meant to be will end up good and what’s not - won’t. love is worth fighting for but sometimes you can’t be the only one fighting. at times, people need...
i hate being sick :(
two boxes of kleenex in two days. not to mention all the DayQuil, NyQuil, and other random over-the-counter drugs. i need to find a nurse to date :(
21 Suggestions for Success
since my “thirty things to stop doing to yourself” post was so popular, i decided to do my own adaptation. i took h. jackson brown jr’s “21 Suggestions for Success” and added to them. 1. marry the right person. this one decision will determine 90% of your happiness or misery. the national statistic of failed marriages is at 55%, meaning that you’re more likely...

i have a time restriction on asking questions.
i talk to a lot of people through their ask box. and i think it’s mainly because of one or more of the following reasons:
i’m a writer. i’m better at writing things out than saying them in person. when i don’t think how i wanna say things, they always come out “asdfghjkl;”
i don’t use AIM/skype/etc. i’m too lazy to launch another program. although...
daneephermsin:
On the way to work today, I came across an elderly man who taught me that being selfless is one of the most important things in life. I learned that giving is more important than receiving. And that there is someone out there, probably even plenty, who need your help and need a soul like yours if you just show it. Often, we tend to forget about the little things in life, that we...
