Anything

Upon inflection, I don’t think I’m a very confident person.  Thinking about things to do over again, regrets, shouldas, couldas, wouldas, I always have something I would change.  Some way I would be different, talk different, react different.  I wouldn’t tense up, or get so loose.  I would run faster or push harder.  I could do more or do less.  I might of said it or not said it.  Whether these doubts on my actions reflect on my confidence or not, I still know and remember that what I did is what makes me, and that’s what the important part is.

Today

I have a hard time thinking of things that are hard.  What is hard?  Not to get to philosophical, but its hard to think of something that is hard, because once you get it in your head, you realize how not hard it really was.  The thing that was hard was getting the courage up to do whatever it was you did.  Once it’s over, whatever it may be, you recognize the power it took to accomplish the action, but the action itself seems a thousands times less daunting upon reflection.

Frontside 5-0

That term may seem a little strange.  But to me, it’s the greatest part of any day it occurs in.  A frontside 5-0 is a skateboarding trick, and when I refer to it here, I am specifically talking about performing the trick on a quarter or half pipe.  Just to lay it out, the skateboarder rides up the ramp, leans back slightly while turning the body and skateboard so the front of the body faces the top of the ramp.  Then, when the skateboard is parallel to the coping (edge of the ramp), theey press on the tail, lifting the front of the skateboard while the back truck grinds on the coping.  The skateboarder then turns back into the ramp, and hopefully rides away.  This is something I try to do everyday, because the feeling it creates is the undescribable part.

Fire Safety

Nowadays fire hazards are increasing day by day due to poor handling and storage of inflammable materials, negligence in transport and due to ignorance. Lot of training and equipments are available for fire safety in every nook and corner of world. Even though people aren’t taking advantage of it. Proper water fire extinguishers need to be kept near the storage area of hazardous material and required training is to be imparted to the employees who are handling and storing materials .Use dry or wet extinguisher. When we are extinguishing fire of liquid we should dry or carbon dioxide, for solid material fire use wet or powder extinguisher

It’s sad, I know

The funniest thing I’ve seen was, I am sad to disappoint, the movie the Hangover.  I know.  I should have some great personal story of some hiliarious thing involving some great coincedence that makes the whole situation get even funnier.  But I am hard pressed to think of a time I was more surprised by how good a movie was.  Not that it is even the best movie ever, but the first time I saw that movie, the experience of it was something I’ll never forget.  The turns and suprises involved were so ridiculous, it was a great example of how to make a film, and recalled seeing movies in elementary school and crying from laughing so hard.  It may be the one I remember the best, but it was the funniest time I can remember.

Bachelorhood

I am getting married in a month, and in preparation of said event, my fiance’s sister and brother-in-law threw us a tandem bachelor/bachelorette party.  I had to take off work Thursday and Friday, which was pretty sweet.  And my brother came in from California, which was a pretty awesome time.  At the beginning of the week, I had classes and work, which were fairly normal and uninteresting.  On Thursday, I drove an hour to Ikea and back, then an hour to the airport and back.  That’s four hours of sitting around.  But then I got my brother home and we hung out a bit.  Friday my fiancé still had work so my brother and I went to the beach and relaxed.  The rest of the weekend was a great time!

You Need Safety

Fire is the event of something burning & Extinguisher is a manually operated device for extinguishing small fires. We require a powder fire extinguisher at our office, in school, at home, n malls where there is lot of crowd of people so that this is easy for us to be in a safety mode as and when required. Powder fire extinguisher helps us to dissolve the fire which is burning & make the environment proper. Hope we do not have to use this device all the time. Let hope there is no more fire meaning there is no fire which will harm people either.

Living Property

Domesticated animals are one of the strangest consumer purchases one can make.  A rational human is agreeing to pay up to thousands of dollars for dogs, cats, and exotic animals.  For my own dog, the initial costs (dog, food, dishes, etc.) were about $600.  But he was such a cute puppy.  And we had a great time.  Five or six times a day, I or my girlfriend would take Mossimo outside for anywhere from five minutes to half an hour till he did his business.  That’s 25 minutes to an hour and a half just taking him to the bathroom.  We lived in an apartment, so taking him out involved going to the elevator, walking two blocks around the building to a grassy area, then picking up poop twice a day.  So I paid an initial cost of $600, plus $30 a month for food, $200 a year (if I’m lucky) on the vet, and an unmeasurable amount of time cleaning up poop (which, in a way, I paid for).  Yet some how it is quite worth it.

The non-car

If I could have any car, it would be a flying one that ran on air.  Currently, my preferred car is none at all as they are so bad for the environment, from roads and sprawl as well as fumes and pollutions from production.  They are also incredibly dangerous, causing a huge number of injuries and deaths each year (more than anything else, if I am not mistaken).  So my preferred choice of vehicle would be one that ran on perpetual energy created through air, and all exhaust would be clean air as well.  It would fly, so it would not require roads and buildings could exist indepently of eachother, allowing natural landscapes to flourish.  And hopefully, because all the great technology is available, they will be so safe, the worst crashes would involve getting hurt entering or exiting the vehicle.

English, anyone?

Dr. Restaino introduced to me to what school is.  It is not just a place to learn facts and throw them back up.  Rather it is a place to learn how to learn, and he showed us that in many ways.  Being lucky enough to have a class of only eleven, our conversations were enlightening and personal.  He introduced me to Vonnegut and Huxley, Welles and Kafka.  I learned how to analyze things in ways I never imagined, how to dig out meanings and intonations that previously went unseen.  But most of all his class helped me learn to love reading and how to use that love to better myself.
