#2 – Thoughts

I can’t write lately and it’s been bothering me.  And I don’t know if it’s because of my time on Twitter, YouTube, and the Internet in general or if I’m just not allocating time for the act itself.  In any case I want to change that.  With only two posts on this iteration of my blog I’m ashamed at this sad state.  Years ago on my other blog, I’d be blogging on a daily basis and would have around 30 or so good sized posts.  But then again, that was then and this is now.  It’s scary to think that the year will be over in a few days and that we’ll be starting a brand new decade.

The past decade saw so many highlights in my life.  In 2000, I graduated from high school and in 2004, I graduated from college.  In addition to the shift from high school to college, I moved south to Irvine and found a pleasant delight in Orange County.  But this decade is also proving to be quite bothersome.  I have yet to realize my place in the world and even though I’m very close on pushing 30, I picture myself ten years younger in attitude and mentality.  Yet there’s still other things to consider like returning to the Internet/Computer technology side and finding (and becoming a part of) the YouTube community, and more recently the Twitter and Dailybooth communities.

Surprisingly and perhaps for once, I have some plans, however loose they may be, for the new year and decade.  I’ve been going back to the gym on a regular basis now for about a month and a half, and I think I have that down on a regular basis now.  The only real problem with that is that I’m driving from work in Alhambra to the gym in Arcadia.  Now that’s quite a drive and it’s hell on the mileage.  But hopefully if scheduling goes right, by February there will be a gym in Alhambra that I can go to.  But now as the new year approaches I want to try my hand at controlling and limiting my eating diet so I can make the most of my new regimen!

And on the creative side, I’m going to make some active movements at my current job that will help with future jobs.  I made a realization, somewhat, last week regarding my career.  Though I still want to write and be a published writer.  I know also feel that my career will be tied to the Internet and social media.  To that effect I’m going to see what I can make of myself in that field.  And also, for the longest time I only ever wanted to work for someone else.  I thought working for a big company would be the best bet for all things considered and security.  It might still be but now as I’m getting older, I want to have something that is my own.  I want to have my own business.  Though what it would be, I’m still working on that.  But as I’m growing, I’m realizing that my previous dislikes are now becoming something I’m actively interested in.

2010 is also starting to look great in terms of movies and events.  I just saw the trailers to Iron Man 2, Kick-Ass, Toy Story 3, Alice In Wonderland, and Frozen and I think I’m in store for a wealth of great films coming out.  By the way, Avatar: it blew my mind way (but more on that later perhaps).  In addition to the flicks, I can’t wait for the Summer so I can go to VidCon and next Northwest YouTube Gathering.

It’s nearing 1AM and tomorrow is my last day of work before Christmas.  I just hope that the day goes by quickly and trip to San Jose and the family party go off without a hitch!
