Joel got suckered by Metropolitan Park Apts.
I moved yesterday from the old condo on Eastlake with big, gay Brent to my new studio on 6th and Washington at the Metropolitan Park Apartments with a kind friend’s assistance.
Buyer’s remorse has started to set in already. I am paying $925 rent + $75 parking for the new studio. Don’t get wrong, I think I will enjoy living there; it’s just that I’m paying 20-35% more than I should be for what I’m getting.… read more “Joel got suckered by Metropolitan Park Apts.”
Enjoying the moment
I am a driven, ambitious person and I generally surround myself with similar people. My friends are very intelligent people who are rapidly forging themselves into great successes. Many of them, myself included, never seem to be satisfied with what we have achieved so far. I think that this is a good thing, but we also need to pause to enjoy what we have and the moment we are in.… read more “Enjoying the moment”

The woman’s perspective on dating me: an analogy
“She’s been out fishing in a little boat for most of her adult life, trying to make a quality catch. Thus far, she’s had little success, mostly pulling in garbage and minnows that she just throws back and occasionally she might get a decent trout or maybe even tuna. After a lifetime of shit she’s ready to call it quits and draw up her line and go home with her sorry take.… read more “The woman’s perspective on dating me: an analogy”
1999 Blue Ford Contour Review: Problematic and Fugly
I have driven an aging blue Ford Contour for the last couple of years and it has been a trusty transportation device (except for when the brakes exploded). I have put approximately 20k miles on it, mostly shuttling myself back and forth between Seattle and my grandparent’s house in Puyallup. The Ford Contour is pretty roomy, which is great for tall guys.… read more “1999 Blue Ford Contour Review: Problematic and Fugly”
How to Books Automotive
Sometimes you need to fix your car, truck, minivan or SUV. Unfortunately, many times when you need to do this repair work, you are flat broke. If you are in this situation you need to be able to fix your vehicle yourself.
Fixing your own auto with no knowledge of how to do so can be incredibly challenging.… read more “How to Books Automotive”
“Poo Goatee”
Yesterday, my purty smile took a hit.
I rode my bike to Rachelle’s house and had a nice dinner of salmon salad and wine. At around 5:30ish, I was riding my bike back home to meet a friend. As I was cruising down 3rd street downtown, my bike chain suddenly locked up and the next thing I knew I was lying on my face in the street.… read more ““Poo Goatee””
Mating Ostriches
I was bored and so I watched a show on Animal Planet about ostriches mating. Male ostriches fluff out their wings and feathers and do weird dances for the females for sometimes days on end to convince the female to mate. When the female is ready, she sits on the ground in a weird way and the male runs over and flops down on her back.… read more “Mating Ostriches”
Self control
Theory: The primary factor that sets people apart from each other, that determines who the winner is and who the loser is in life, is self control.
The ability to perform an action that you do not want to do or not do something you desire very much, is vital to success.
Can you make yourself work 18 hours a day at something not enjoyable?… read more “Self control”
