Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!


Also 15 reasons to live in a skyscraper!

1. Your home also functions as an observatory deck (for thinkers)
2. You see the sunrise (for inspiration)
3. You see the sunset (for relaxation)
4. Forget the Weather Channel. You see the weather coming (for weather buffs)
5. Noise pollution is reduced to wind and rogue pigeons (for tranquility)
6. At night, the city is a sea of lights (for more relaxation)
7. Your view is a traffic report (for getting “there” faster)
8. You become immune to ear popping (for anybody who hates that shit)
9. Your building appears on postcards, movies, and T.V. (for enlarged egos)
10. With the right telescope you can spy on the city dwellers below (for voyeurs)
11. Ordinary weather doesn’t apply to you (for weather buffs)
12. In the winter, it’s colder (for Eskimos, like me)
13. In the summer, it’s cooler (for God’s sake)
14. When it’s breezy, it’s windy (For kicks)
15. When it rains, it pours (for blockbuster nights and sound sleep)

"Man is not himself. He has lost himself in the falsities and illusions of
A massive organization. How can he recover his authenticity and his true
identity? What is meant by identity? (…) Identity in this deep sense is
something that one must create for oneself by choices that are significant
and that require a courageous commitment in the face of anguish and risk
(…) It means having a belief one stands by; it means having certain
definite ways of responding to life, of meeting its demands, and of loving
other people. In this sense, identity is one’s witness to truth in one’s
life."

Happiness & Freedom

I hope that you are happy in whatever you are doing in your life and that you are not forced or manipulated to do what you are doing. Never let others become your master. We as people live in norms and customs but we must never be afraid to go outside the box and live life the way we see it fit. If your friends think that you’re crazy for loving the same sex, fuck your friends and get a new one. Be with people that accept you no matter what the consequences and no matter who you are. We need to be happy in order to make others happy. We can’t pretend forever that we are happy, I know that. I’ve tried pretending to be happy for such a long time that I don’t even know what “happiness” truly feels like. I just hope that by the end of this journey we can all finally say that…

“I have been happy. Truly, genuinely… Happy.”

Goody Foody

Enough is enough! It’s about time I started to explore and eat at interesting places, the great places and the ordinary!

An curiousity in knowing what I am eating, what are the ingredients and where are the best places for certain types of food has recently begot my interest. I am now dedicating this blog to my adventures in eating different types of foods in my everyday life, and will put up blog posts for each time I go out to eat.

Vancouver, being a vibrant community and with it’s diversity, I plan to explore all the and take advantage of the many restaurants and eateries. After all, who doesn’t love good food that tickle your taste buds?!

Cheers!

And I bid you, Good eating!

BE A MAN!

A man is not a man because of his biology. He is a man because his actions are deemed manly. The distinction to be made is that gender and manliness are two different things. Biological and social component. You can be male and still not be a true man.

                                    

A true man thinks logically, choosing the best option for himself and those he protects. A man is secure in himself, and knows that he is one in a billion. A man demonstrates raw confidence, because confidence is masculinity at its finest. A man is a social creature, constantly meeting and connecting with new people in an effort to make the great journey that is life, a little less lonely. A man has goals and dreams, that he can work towards, and make his life truly memorable. Finally, a man has the action to make all these dreams come true, to be able to take the first step toward an extraordinary life. 

"Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today’s mighty oak is yesterday’s acorn that held its ground."

Happiness revisited

“Before we set our hearts too much upon anything, let us examine how happy those are who already possess it.”
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

BUFFET?

"It is not so much that we are afraid of change, or so in love with the old ways, but it is that place in between we fear…it is like being in between trapezes. It is Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There is nothing to hold on to."

— Marilyn Ferguson (The Aquarium Conspiracy)

"I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life’s greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret."

— Tony Robbins

The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. The first to forget is the happiest.

Price of life

Money.
Some people think it is evil. While it certainly can do harm, money itself is not evil. The love of money is the true evil. In fact, the love of anything - other than what matters most is evil. Money is a tool. It is neutral. Heck, it’s just paper. It lends itself to be used in ways that we see fit, and we can choose to use it to do good or harm. While it can be a way to buy the things we want to make us feel happy (if only for a moment), money is not happiness. True Happiness must come from within, and not straying from what matters most. This is the key, as you do what is important to you and makes you happy, you will find that the right mindset will allow for more happiness and naturally money will follow.

Priority of Life.

"Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

I tried playing it cool
Girl when I’m looking at you
I can’t ever be brave
Cause you make my heart race

Get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don’t, I don’t, don’t know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you’ve got that one thing
