OK, I've had this account FOREVER, but never used it. I guess I didn't understand the point. There are so many myspace add whores who just collect "friends". Do they really have that many friends? Do they seriously get along with that many people? All they basically say to each other is "hi, how are you?" and "thanks for the add" lol If you're going to post a message, at least say something original, interesting, or funny. Then there are the musician and business add whores. I'm not sure why they try to add me. Am I supposed to pretend to be their fan or client? lol I really don't care about getting along with that many people. Yea, I'm rude. Anyway, I'll waste some time on this site now...
I like doing things that risk injury/death. I love learning. I love museums & libraries. I like to do things that are hard, because those are the only things that are worth doing. Sometimes I meet people who say their "hobbies" are watching movies, listening to music, going shopping, eating, sleeping, traveling, partying, getting drunk/high... I want to ask them "so, how long did you practice before you were able to do all that complicated shit?" lol
I have a high respect for people who have devoted their lives to martial arts, SCIENCE, yoga, research, etc--the people who have rejected material possessions and become FULL TIME practitioners. They have a different definition of wealth. I wish I could do that, but I can't give up my toys! lol Through unfortunate events, it's entirely possible (albeit unlikely) for me to lose my tangible assets, but these people can't because their assets are in their brains and bodies. I believe these people have the richest soul. Or maybe they're just crazy leftists. lol I can't go through life without a financial plan for my future. It doesn't seem like a balanced life to me. I wonder what these people will do when they get old. I still respect what they're doing, anyway.My ancestors are from China. I lived in Taipei, Taiwan & Toronto, Canada for a short time. Grew up in Los Angeles/Orange County area, USA. I speak English, Japanese, and some Mandarin Chinese.Every action I take in life is based on these ideas:
1. Health: without health, I have nothing
2. Education: knowledge is power and the key to true freedom. Making myself better than I was yesterday.
3. Security for the future: work now, play later is better than play now, work later
4. Having as much fun as possible: PASSION and doing something (or someone) new is what makes life worth living. I don't like people who are too serious. There are very few situations that require complete seriousness.
I HAVE TOO MANY HOBBIES, which means I'm not good at anything:
My martial arts friends won't tell you I'm good at martial arts
My car friends won't tell you I know a lot about cars
My driver friends won't tell you I'm a good driver
My snowboard friends won't tell you I'm good at snowboarding
My Japanese friends won't tell you I'm good at Japanese
My rich friends won't tell you I'm a good investor
I'm just glad I have friends that I can learn a lot from lol
The perfect life to me would be: wake up before 6AM, external martial arts training for 3hrs, eat, internal martial arts training for 3hrs, yoga for 3hrs, eat, and the rest of the time for cars and snowboarding. But my real life is nothing like this. Every weekday, I waste 10hrs commuting and working in a company. It's a prestigious, internationally known company, and lots of people would love to be in my shoes. But the whole time I'm there, all I can think about is how to get the fuck out. Because of this job, I can only train for about an hour every morning before work. After work, I split the time up between yoga and cars. Weekends are better, but there is so much housework and yardwork to do. This is why I invest most of my income--so I can retire from this ridiculous rat race ASAP...
