The Pursuit of Happyiness
If you were to ask me what I thought about my job, I would say I don’t like it. If you catch me at the wrong time, I would say I hate it. I never feel like I’m making a difference. I mean I’m basically doing technician labwork that, in my opinion, I could have done right out of high school. Why even work there with a degree? I wasn’t being trained to the best of my abilities and I let it show. I...
Five Guys
Finally ate at Five Guys, an East Coast burger chain expanding over to the West Coast. My brother and our friend Mike, the closest people I know to being burger cognoscenti, think it’s the best burgers around. Even better than In-N-Out. Well that’s something I have to try.
I got a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, mayo, and ketchup. Basically this is a burger that is most comparable...

The journey from your first paycheck to the time you reach thirty, is the most important time of your life for accumulating wealth. Wouldn’t it be great if there were defined milestones, to make sure you’re on the right path?
From my experience, there are. I have…

When I left LA three weeks ago, my life was filled with uncertainties. I didn’t know if I would get that job I was going to interview for, and I didn’t know when I was going to see my friends in LA, if I ever see them again. I didn’t know what my future had in store for me.
I’ve been trying to put together what the past months meant to me. Since I’ve been home,...

Dear Santa,
Because of the effectiveness of those Verizon commercials, my dad has been saying that AT&T has bad coverage. That and the fact that my mom’s AT&T phone has spotty coverage means I probably won’t be switching to AT&T in January.
But if I were to switch to AT&T, this is the phone I would want:

The job search update

Back when I didn’t know what to do for my tumblr, Mike said I could use it to update people on the job hunt. I was like “I guess.” A sample would have gone like this:
“I looked for jobs today. I applied to them. I didn’t get a response/They told me I didn’t fit what they were looking for.”
Well now, let me update you on my job search: it’s over.
Yay, 7+ months of...

The hardest thing to do is start
To my currently 7 followers, thank you for thinking I was going to actually post something. Your dedication is rewarded. As the title of this entry implies, I had a difficult time creating a name and choosing a background. That’s what prevented me from doing anything on tumblr. As of now, these things are still indeterminate, so it’s still Untitled with the basic Facebook-looking...
