| Loved that last episode of HIMYM with the open window theory. Hahah what if there is no window. I say breakdown the door. I kid.
I been looking for a churches and community and it has been more than hard. I can see how people can give up on looking for a solid church.
The church that i went to the pastor just had to step down and resign. Sadly we are all people. This is rough on me as well. The devil is on the move.
Even the new church i am checking out the pastor had to take a 90 day leave. Spiritual mayhem i tells you.
I want to watch avatar 3d. I hear its like more awesome than pho.
I have very strategic identity. When i am out with the cupertino, palo alto, rich chuurch going chinese kids i emphasize my 50% chinese side. When i am in essj tully and capital i am like 100% vietnamese. i am honestly 50% chinese if not more, but china was in vietnam how do u separate the two. you gotta really chase down ur ancestry.
Dating my 3.5 shooting star. she is pretty legit. its looking good.
Have a 3 day work week this week pretty excited.
Its still sometimes hard to breathe, but i am learnign to move on and catch my breath.
I met a guy at church today and he reminded me my love for business consulting. I need to set goals so i can be tehre in a year.
I really feel the spiritual war against the principalities these days. Discipline is a part of growing. Trial and redemption is the name of the game. Lets keep moving forward.

| To me it seems that it is very easy to settle for the middle ground. Its easy to settle for what comes easy and what you dont have to work for. I see a lot of people that settle to just get by in life. I want that too. I just want to settle and just chill out, but my pride and ego wont let me chill.
A good bunch of my friends are entrepreneurs. The secret isnt to find the next google or facebook but its like having that small idea that can easily make millions. I need to be hungry for money. Ideas that are genius is that ticket stub website. THey dont do anything but host an exchange for people to scalp tickets. GENIUS! I have half the nerve to buy a crap load of TAO tickets and then scalp them back, legally via craiglist and other venues. Worst case scenario if i cant sell my tickets i have to go. Poor me.
Lady gaga's bad romance is garbagely good. Half the song she isnt really singing. She is making noises and it works. I love that song.
Taylor swift two is better than one or boy like girls ft taylor swift is legit.
I need to start a tutoring program. Hire a bunch of college grads taht dont have jobs pay them 15 dollars an hour charge the parents 30 dollars an hour and boom! I gotta look around for some business opportunities.
Maybe i can start my own pyramid scheme, cult, or religion and have people work for nothing or tithe their money to me.
Or maybe i will start trying to write awesome xangas and pay for premium and get paid from GOOGLE! That sounds like the best plan so far.

| Reading this book for Management Training. Some great excerpts to really wrap your mind around some things.
"Ethical principles are not flexible. A little white lie is a lie. Theft is theft --whether its $1, $1,000, or $1 million. Integrity commits itself to character over personal gain, to people over things, to service over power, to principle over convenience, to the long view over the immediate."
"Character isn't created in a crisis; it only comes to light. Everything you have done in the the past -- and everything you have neglected to do -- comes to a head when you're under pressure."
Sometimes its not about the line. I often tell myself and others around me why go up to the line. The line is a dangerous place to be, for god forbid if you falter, you have already crossed the line. Why not stand back from the line? In the lush green pastures of His grace and be far from temptation and sin.
I been thinking about Tiger Woods a lot lately. And i really liked that post that Ju1cyXCouture wrote i think. I think a person of character and of resolve would know what to do when a situation like that occurs when we are tempted (by the Enemy) to succumb to the desires of the flesh. If we are able to have that character we will know what to do exactly when we are introduced into situations like this or lead up to this. Its kinda hard to figure out what you will do when you are debating the pros and cons, of whether to step forward or flee in episodes of temptation like this.
And i agree with Ju1cyXCouture. Many a men would have succumbed to the same things.
And i love this...
William Hersey Davis
The circumstances amid which you life determine your reputation;
the truth you believe determines your character. Reputation is what you are supposed to be;
character is what you are. Reputation is the photograph;
character is the face. Reputation comes over one from without;
character grows up from within. Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community;
character is what you have when you go away. Your reputation is learned in an hour;
your character does not come to light for a year. Reputation is made in a moment;
character is built in a lifetime. Reputation grows like a mushroom;
character grows like the oak. A single newspaper report gives you your reputation;
a life of toil gives you your character. Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor;
character makes you happy or makes you miserable. Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone;
character is what angels say about you before the throne of God.
Integrity is overlooked these days. But in this society with all the scandals. Corporate people to political people to famous people and to normal people like you and I. I am reminded we are broken people working out broken relationships in a broken world in broken communities. We need more people of utmost integrity in this world.
Integrity is the foundation of trust. Without trust, you really cant have a full relationship with anyone, may it be a business partner or partner in life. If a person trusts you, they are able to know that your actions are for their best interest and not your own. Two pigs were eating at a trough when the farmer came by and filled their trough with food to the brim. One pig looked to the other and said, "Did you ever wonder why he is so nice to us?" (Girls always have to wonder why a guy at the bar is buying her a drink for this same reason. AND THEY SHOULD WORRY!)
Having integrity and putting peoples self development and growth before our own selfish desires for advancement and personal gain allows real relationships to develop. I dont know. This is all a whole new world for me. I have principles, ethics, and morals but in many ways I can be bought at a certain price. Working on this whole integrity where I stick to my principles no matter how money can be made, how much I can promote, how no one else will know, or heck how hot the girl is. No lies. Taking step backs and gonna chill in my green pasture.
