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??????

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have...

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
