Remember Me

One day I'm going to retire and live somewhere in Switzerland

But I Don't Wanna Die Alone

People have such interesting stories to tell. YOU mothafuckas just don't shut up long enough for them to tell it

My idea of romantic is us being lost together in Marseille

Let My Love Adorn You

Why does it matter that I'm late to find out that Radiohead is awesome? Why do you care that I didn't get the new Frank Ocean album the second it was released?

Why can't you just be happy that I think that their music is awesome? Why can't you be glad that we both share an appreciation for the same music? Instead, you're looking for negatives from what should be an awesome situation

What Does Love Mean To You?

If you want a good laugh, ask someone what their definition of "being in love" is.

Everyone's definition is different but it's cool comparing and contrasting each person's definition. Some people will give you some generic, cutesy answer straight out of a rom-com; fuck those. The best responses are genuine, honest, and leave both people feeling exposed.

Infinity

You know what bothers me? When Christine is telling a story and doing a great job at it. And then Joseph, having heard half of Christine's story, thinks of his own story that he wants to tell. Maybe it's a relevant experience, maybe he just wants to show that he can relate to her, whatever. It doesn't matter. He interrupts, stops her story, and interjects with his own story.

What bothers me is that Christine might have waited WEEKS to tell that story. She could have been amped as fuck about having the right people to tell the story to; people that she could confide every detail to. But she didn't get to give every detail, because her story was derailed by an eager beaver

Four Faces, Four Corners

I live for certain moments in my life.

Like being in a very specific setting, listening to a specific song, and just sitting there and soaking in the enormity of it all.

Or being in a specific setting and having a specific kind of conversation with someone.

Or building up a relationship with someone for a long time in order to have just that one moment with them.

I would(and have) paid high prices just to have these moments. Fuck the bull, these moments are precious to moi

Hey You

¡Todo! ¡Aquí es todo de mi vida!

These Fuckers Make It So Hard To Be Friendly

All it takes to go from the friend zone to the end zone is some honesty and some courage(probably liquid courage, lol)!

God Save the Queen!

London eye!

When I Said Goodbye

My fiancé and I aren't getting married until we come up with the answer to the following question: "If we had a baby and found out pre-birth that it would live with a serious disability all of his/her life, would we keep it?

I Am Leaving

You've GOT to have friends who aren't always on your side. Having yes-men around you is counter productive and doesn't lead to any kind of progression!

I Don't Wanna Go

It's important to be honest to yourself, especially when self-assessing.

I think one of the biggest challenges as far as being in a relationship with me is trying to break through and get me to talk about things that are near and dear to me.

Being very much an independent person, I don't really need to talk to or vent to people very often. I have no problem thinking things through in my head and being completely content with being alone. Where others might need someone to bounce ideas off of or simply just to vent to, I often opt to deal with things without any kind of outside feedback.

Just You And Me And A Plane And A Pilot

I've never been attracted to someone because of their negativity. I know some couples who say "we hate the same things; we're a perfect match!"

I can't imagine negativity ever being attractive to me at all

Sing about me

I've recently found myself struggling with conversations. I'll be in a group of people. We'll be talking about something and I'm patiently listening, enjoying the conversation. The other people in the convo are chatting it up, laughing, having a good time. Then someone will make a point that I don't agree with.

This is where I find myself struggling. I could speak up on why I don't agree, but normally my argument is based on logic and reasoning that isn't necessarily equivalent to the level of logic and reasoning that had been going on during the conversation. While they're appealing more to their emotions, I'm basing my argument almost solely on logic and reason. While my argument might not be nearly as sexy or funny as theirs, I like to think that my argument is much more thought out.

I could be "that guy," speak up and (probably) kill the jovial mood, or I could keep quiet and keep the conversation going with no interruption.

Sometimes, however, I feel like if i don't speak up, I'm complying and confirming that their viewpoint is okay. If I stay quiet when someone brings up a blatantly racist joke(hilarity of the joke notwithstanding), does that mean that I'm not doing anything to stop that kind of racism? Does that mean that I'm okay with it?

I don't wanna be the guy who has to kill the mood, but I also don't want to be the guy who doesn't stand up for what he believes in

Something about the innocence of a child and whatnot. Yeah

You Don't Know What's In Store

Our definitions of things are fluid. Permanence is part of the definition of "definition," but when we define things, I think it's overlooked how those definitions can change depending on our perspective

Start It Up

In any relationship, be it familial, friendly, or more than friendly, there's a delicate balance you must strike or risk losing the relationship. The delicate balance between compromising and refusing to compromise is huge.

On one hand, you can approach a problem like, "alrite, my friend is super nosy. But that's okay, I could still work with that."

On the other hand, you could approach it like, "fuck that, I can't deal with all that. They're gonna have to adjust or gtfo."

I think it's interesting as hell where people draw that line in their relationships

Armistice

Good writers find a way to make you relate to them. After reading/listening to them, you end up feeling like you know them on a personal level.

So when I get genuinely pissed that I'm not as good of a creative writer as say, a Frank Ocean, I have to be okay with that. Hes a talented writer, probably one of the better ones out there, BECAUSE what he writes is relatable. It makes me feel like, "I know him personally. I know what he's anxious about, what makes him nervous, what he loves. Shit, he's just a regular dude. If he can do it, so can I!" But the fact of the matter is that I dont know him. He's a terrific writer and as much as I feel like I can do what he does, truth is I just plain can't do it as well as him. And that's okay

Crack Rock

I think it's important to find a way to genuinely love your enemy. Empathize with them and figure out why they are how they are, and all that stuff.

Much better than bringing more hate into ze vorld

Pink Matter

It's dope that you're even willing to put yourself in that position! I'm a huge fan of putting yourself in weird/awakward positions. You get to see what kind of person you are by looking at how you respond

She Was And You Are Madly Involved

One of the biggest things I look for in a girl that I consider a potential girlfriend is how we argue. If the dynamics behind our arguments are even a little bit unhealthy, then it doesn't bode well for her and I. To explain, lemme introduce a sports analogy.

In any major sport, coaches and general managers need to have a general philosophy on how to build their team. Together they need to decide the direction that the team will take.

Will they sacrifice long term success for making a run in the short term? Will they tank in the present in hopes of doing well in the future? Are they more concerned with getting wins above everything or does the process matter?

That last question is huge. Being result-oriented means you don't give a damn how things play out, as long as you get results. It doesn't matter if your team played terribly as long as you got the win.

Being process-oriented means you don't mind taking a loss if it means that your team was still playing its best, playing the way you want them to. It doesn't matter that your team lost because they still played well and stuck to the game plan.

In sports, it's a luxury to be able to afford to try to go for being both process-oriented and goal-oriented. I can't think of one franchise that successfully goes for both; pretty much every franchise chooses one or the other.

And when arguing with the person you're in a relationship with, just like sports, you have to choose one or the other. In this case, being goal-oriented means you care about who wins and who loses. It's almost like sports where you keep a count of wins and losses.

In my case, I'm very much process-oriented. This means I don't care who wins and who loses the arguments. I care more that we argue in a decent and healthy way. I hope we keep the yelling and screaming to a minimum and work more towards keeping a decent discussion with us working rationally and logically towards a shared conclusion.

I could see someone making the argument that if my boo and I are working logically and rationally, that just doesn't sound very romantic; that this way of arguing is devoid of passion and emotion. To that I say that it's not like logic and emotion are on opposite ends of a scale; both are, in my mind, completely independent variables. To say that a logical and rational argument is an argument devoid of emotion and passion is ignorant. I guarantee that my arguments with my boo are going to be full of emotion and passion. I can't imagine anything more beautiful than mi novia y yo working together to solve our problems in a logical way. Hell, afterwards we could celebrate by fucking each others' brains out or cooking a nice dinner together. Yeah, fuck anyone who says that logical and rational arguments lack passion and emotion. Just because we're not yelling and screaming doesn't mean we're not taking each others' emotions into consideration.

tl;dr Fuck who wins and who loses, it's okay to take a loss. It's more important that the arguments that take place between mi novia y yo are process-oriented as opposed to goal-oriented.

My Whole Life Long

My wife and I will dedicate every other Sunday morning to bumping music super loud throughout the house and cleaning everything from top to bottom. Dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, washing, you name it. Then we'll proceed to have sex all over the place. We'll call it...nvm that part is tbd, lol

I MEAN, I DON'T WANNA BRAG, BUT UH...

More Than I Thought Could Exist

I've been fortunate enough to have visited many places across the globe in my lifetime. Each place has had its challenges but they've always been outweighed by its benefits.

For example, the Philippines is hot as fuck. The humidity doesn't help. The fact that I barely know anyone there definitely doesn't help. But my parents made it a point to visit every few years(by my count, I've gone 7 times now), because they wanted my sister and I to see how rough it is out there. They wanted us to see how our relatives lived, how close we were to living that lifestyle. My parents never admitted to it, but I'm sure that was an element of why they were so adamant on going so often. They wanted us to see homeless people littering(no pun intended) the streets of Manila. They wanted us to see how our cousins continue to be happy and content with what little money they had. They might not have very many possessions, but I'll be damned if they weren't killing that damn "Otso otso" dance, lol.

When we went to Tokyo, it wasn't under the best circumstances. My Auntie, who had married a Japanese man, had lived in Tokyo with him and their 3 daughters for a few years now and was well established as a housewife, taking care of the kids while her husband worked flying helicopters in and around Tokyo. One day her husband was walking around the neighborhood when a teen driver ran him over, killing him.

When my Mom got the news, she didn't hesitate in taking my sister and I out of school. We caught a flight the next day to Tokyo, where we would be the only real family my Auntie would have during that time. My sister and I were excited to see one of the major cities of the world, but we knew that we weren't there on vacation; we were there to show just how strong family is. We didn't have that much money back then(we never really have, lol), but the quickness and decisiveness my mom showed with that entire experience will stick with me forever. My sister and I might not have gotten to see as much of Tokyo as we would have wished, but I know I learned so much from that trip.

I don't even know what the point of this post is, lol. But damn it's therapeutic to recount all these things
