My new 15 day challenge!

UPDATE
Due to my crazy work and school schedule my 15 days challenge was not even started. Sorry y'all but this is something I wanna do and will make it happen soon. maybe over spring break!


Alright so the other day I was tweeting Ricky Martin and for some reason I was expecting a response! It was like when you text a friend and just expect an automatic response. Well I waited and waited and never really got that tweet back from my celebrity crush. To be honest I only know like one song of Ricky Martin's but I somehow follow him on twitter.

Long story short, I started thinking of how nice it would be if celebrities did nothing but respond to tweets and facebook wall posts all day everyday! So here is my bright idea, I want to tweet as many tweets as possible to one celebrity per day for the next 15 days! The goal is to get some kind of acknowledgment back, it could be a reply or retweet, anything... 

I will keep updating this blog and post screenshots of any response I get. If you have a celebrity you want me to bother with my countless tweets let me know...

The faces you show

One of my good friends who I work with and also party with once told me that I was different during the days than I am at nights. I asked him to elaborate since I was a bit confused. He went on to explain that my voice, my character and even personality changes when we go out at night.

He was right. But is that not the case for everyone? Don't we all have a different face for work and another one for the social life? It's not just about being professional but more of having to be taken seriously and being respected at the work place. Yes, my English is a bit proper, I don't curse or use slang words, I may walk different, and maybe even smile different. In return though that face has provided me with not just respect but also class and maybe even for others to think of me highly. And at nights I'm more relaxed and more of myself without having to worry about what others might think of what I say or do. 

But maybe that's not even the case. It could be just another face for the night and another face for home and another face for the gym and another face for school...

How do we really know which face is the real us? Or maybe for some there is no multiple faces, It's just one

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

I've been slacking on posting new stuff, but I assure you lots to come in 2011!
Until then Happy Holidays and a great New Years to you :)
And to my bestie Eddie, here is a special message:

The Ethiopia they don't show on TV

IT GETS BETTER!!!

YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE!
DONT LET ANYONE GET TO YOU!!!

How far will you go?

Okay so I'm the type of guy who will go after whatever it is I need at a moment full force and not back down. But unfortunately, things do not necessarily always go my way (not really sure why). It is a wide belief that no one gets to the top without having to “work” for it correct? So clearly, if you personally are yearning for something important real bad, you then would have to struggle for it and then enjoy your reward later on.

I sense though sometimes, no matter how hard or how long you have worked for that end result, you still fall short from achieving your desire. So what happens when you are stuck in that dilemma? How far are you willing to go to fulfill your purpose and savor your sweet compensation?

Priorities???

As cliché as this may sound, priorities are one of those essentials that all of us should have in place to lead our god given life. It's not exactly like setting a goal, but more like figuring out what gives the better outcome in the long run.      Sacrifices, age, maturity or different times may all take part in a role one prioritizes events or deeds. And sometimes there are really no reasons at all for the way things are in order. Me rambling about priorities is really me trying to solicit the age old WHAT IF questions. It is my way of chatting about what could happen if we had different decisions on different matters. What if I had picked a different major in college? What if I had accepted the job that payed me a little less than the one I'm at now? What could have happened if I had spent more time with my family instead of work? Theses question do not necessarily have to revolve around work life but just life in broad. How do we distinguish that we made the better decision to get to where we are at now and how do we know how to set our priorities for the future so we can be at an even superior place? And what comes about when things don’t exactly go our way?
