- I’m leaving for Japan in 10 days! Seems crazy to me. I’m a bit edgy and worried about how everything will play out (given the fact that we just “finished planning” 4 days ago), but I hope things will be fine. To be honest I feel that way more than I am feeling excited. Does everyone feel this way about big trips? Beyond me.
- Been super busy with both my regular job and also personal training. I love both jobs and wouldnt give up either one so I end up working til 9pm and MISSING THE NBA PLAYOFFS.
- I thought I was backing up Cleveland but I find myself rooting for Orlando each game. Hedoooo.
- I like turtles.

“I didn’t find the perfect moment because I think today was just about having today, and I think that we are one of those couples with a long story when people ask how we found each other. I will see her every now and then, and … maybe one year she’ll be with somebody and the next year I’ll be with somebody, and it’s going to take a long time. And then, it’s perfect. I’m in no rush.”

Jon Jon Jon.
To echo the blogthoughts of my good friend PK, moving back up post-grad has been a very repetitious experience. Not only have I joined the monotony that is found within the confines of a 4-walled cubicle, but even things down to the everyday conversation have found their way into a cyclical manner. I seriously feel like I talk about the same things with different people, and maybe you have felt the same way. Sometimes, it’s not even me doing the talking, I still overhear the same freakin things.
Some conversations:
Jon & Kate + 8
Person A: “Omg Kate is such an anal woman!! She’s crazy!”
Person B: “Yeah so true! But you know… you kinda HAVE to be if you want to manage a family of 8 kids…”
Or…
Person A: “Dude, Jon is such a bad person! I can’t believe he does all of those rumored shenanigans with other women! What a disgrace to his family…”
Person B: “Well… Kate IS super crazy. Not condoning what he did in the slightest, but cmon.. give a guy a break Kate!”
i have no relation to these people
One of the defining moments in a man-to-man encounter is the second they greet each other for the first time. How will it go down? Will I get along with the bro? Or will he be a cocky punk? Men usually find out in about 3 seconds. I liken it to how male dogs sniff each other in the crotch – a mating ritual if you will (without the mating part. So just ritual.) The manshake can either go perfectly where both men reciprocate the motions at the same time, intensity, and speed, or it can go awkwardly and end up in an awkward man-embrace. Usually, the performance of the manshake is often reflective of the future manrelationship to come.
I assert that there are four main phases to the manshake: The Approach, The Shake, The Hug, and The Aftermath.
Let’s dissect.
