Don't really watch T.V. just NFL & NBA games. I figure, if your stuck flippin' thru channels more than 30 minutes,....you've just wasted a grip of time doin' nothin',... you could be doin' somethin' much more constructive like snow boarding or be stuck on the computer designin'.... making plain white paper into nice, crisp green paper!! It's all about design.... without it....everything is just a blank page..... which shows no emotion.
All Mac CPU literature, Trouble-Shooting & Graphic design stuff. The Secret....I have the DVD & READ THE BOOK!! You have to REALLY ABSORB IT in order for you to UNDERSTAND it. "Rich Dad, Poor Dad." I've been hearnin' alotta good reviews on that book (got the audio book too.) "Courage~ Living life Dangerously" ( If you are confused about life & you don't know if things are gettin' any better ..... Just the 1st 2 chapters will help...it's up to you if you wanna continue....the 1st 2 has helped me alot), "When Things Fall Apart" ~Heart Advice for Difficult Times" by Pema Chodron, haven't started it yet, but I'm assuming it'll help, considering it was written by an American Buddhist nun...Check it out. As we speak, I'm readin' "The Fuck-up" by Arthur Nersesian....could I relate...Um I think so.... Last but not least..."OFFERINGS"~Buddhist wisdom for every day.
My Dad. Way back when I was growin' up, I didn't get along with him, because he always paid attention 2 my Older Brother. Considering I was the youngest in the family, I was considered as the "Momma's boy." I needed more attention from my Pops, so in order 2 get his attention, I did stupid shit. As years progressed,......so did my bad attitude. I got kicked out of a shit load of schools mainly for fighting & what not. It doesn't stop there. I've been thru alot of shit, ....yo I don't have 2 list it either. (People who already know me, know what I'm talkin' bout'!) It's funny because after all these years of pure madd~ness...my Pops never gave up on me. I guess you learn all lessons the hard way.... especially when all this time,.....He's always been there,..... I just never asked for his advice.
