You know that girl you’ve been looking for? The perfect girl? The woman who outshines all other women? Well, I have some bad news for you. You’re not going to find her, because I already did. I found her, and that girl is mine. Sparing you all the nitty gritty details, I ordered iLife for [...]
Being debt-free has led to the relief and removal of a lot of stress in my life. However, as you may recall from a previous post of mine, the key is to not become a tightwad. For a brief tenure of my debt-free life, I resorted to only saving, saving, saving. I wasn’t having any [...]
As much as we crave uncertainty, spontaneity, and surprise – we crave certainty. I want adventure in my life, but I also want that one corner of my brain to hold onto the things that I know I will always believe. The memories I will always hold dear. The people I will always love. Excitement [...]
Well, my media center is gone. The PS3, the TV, and the surround sound. So how do I feel? I feel free. I’ll come to a point in my day where I would usually put on a bluray movie to occupy my time, and I have to actively think of new things to do. New [...]

There is another form of giving that is forgotten through repetition of its absence. It is perhaps the most important form of giving you’ll ever [...]
Well, folks, it’s finally happened. I say “finally” like I expected it to happen all this time, but I really never knew it would happen. There has been a paradigm shift in my music taste. As I’ve said in posts long ago, for a long time I’ve often enjoyed emotional, sad love songs, because of [...]
