everything i know, i learned from playing craps

there's a line that goes, "you can't win, what you don't put in." and it's true... if i don't try, then how can i succeed? if i don't ask, then how will i know? and if i don't tell her what time to meet up, then how the hell can we meet up?

i keep writing these bullshit little commentaries to motivate myself. and at some point, it should work.

i think.

you think. you write. you motivate. Remember what I said in starbucks?
Remember our visitors in our table?
Yes its easier said than done, but a famous marketing slogan comes to mind. Just do it. Who cares. If it doesn't work your way, its not going to kill you. Keep doing it and at some point you won't care.

We'll practice when I'm back in 3 weeks. =)

mr. expat is SO right! "Just Do It" is such a simple slogan that says it all. hesitation, fear, and procrastination will get us absolutely nowhere. if you're not trying and making mistakes, then you're not living and growing. part of finding ultimate success is experiencing failures...it's a natural progression. we learn from our failures and mistakes, so we can achieve greatness.

mr. expat, what do you mean, you'll be back in 3 weeks??????

planning to go insane

this europe trip has been a logistical nightmare. danny and i took three hours to find an available hostel in amsterdam and dublin . tomorrow, we have to get some accomodations for warsaw , vienna , and prague . thankfully beth is planning the greece portion of the trip. danny and i ate sushi at china palace ... which now serves thai food !?!?! i know, it's a shocker to me too. we then went to barnes and noble to pick up some travel books. while there, danny noticed a nice pair of legs and knee high boots with a short skirt. she was a goth chick, which is not usually something i concern myself with... but goth chicks need love too, and she was a cutie. we then stopped at 4 stores before finding a reasonably priced plug set for european countries. who knew that it would be so hard to find such a thing... during the summer... when everyone goes on vacation... huh?

auf wiedersehen

i wanted to post this on the board at express... but after being gone so long, i realized that now just isn't the time for me to go back there. here's the so long, farewell speech... To my express family – Another chapter in my life is complete. One year and nine months ago, I began at Express probably much like you did… looking for a part-time job where I could have some fun, meet some people and maybe buy a few clothes. Little did I know that it would become so much more. I did buy clothes… shit loads. 1MX shirts in every imaginable color, denim in all 3 fits, and enough polos to clothe a small African country. I even had Aymeei as my addiction consultant, approving various colors and styles based on my known wardrobe. I would've been better had it not been for the damn Express Card people constantly increasing my limit. I've met a lot of people… from our regular customers with never-ending exchanges to the associates who've quit after one overnight floorset. Ther
