Too Many Political Discussions
I realized that I’ve been part of too many political discussions as of late. Despite writing about politics on my blog, I honestly prefer to avoid the subject altogether just because I find politicians overall to be obnoxious leeches whose soul purpose is to manipulate others to further their own secretive agendas. That said, I’m…

Puttering Here And There (Then Back Again)
Yesterday ended up being a strange day. I guess with all the politics in the news, it’s almost impossible to concentrate on much else. In the end, I started to get a headache, which forced me to sleep earlier than I would have liked. However, I wasn’t able to get much done anyway.

Just A Little More
Yesterday, I finished a major exercise in writing up much of the key points per chapter in my book summary document. What started as me trying to locate a section regarding a dream sequence that occurs twice ended up becoming me filling in the blanks for various chapters I had not yet summarized.

Cooking Vs Eating Out
With my recent change in status to employment, I had been cooking more than ever. It was a big personal challenge and life goal of mine to make the transition from depending on fast, instant and frozen foods to becoming my own chef. The benefits have been massive in improving my confidence as an individual,…

Using My Time Productively (And Getting Smarter)
Been watching lots of YouTube educational videos on chemistry, organic chemistry, physics and electronics lately in addition to getting back into reading fiction consistently. Effectively, I’m auditing an old physics class from UCI, which makes me feel like I’m back in class again (hence, justifying my position that I’ve returned to school). And it’s been…

Tech Stories: Stay Focused in Your Interviews
After graduating college, I was idealistic with big hopes and dreams. The problem when you’re a big dreamer with high hopes from life is that you easily can get all of that crushed by the harsh reality of moving out of the academic environment that has been so neatly organized for you into the more…
