So much blup

There are so many big ideas in my head.
I just can't seem to get them down on paper or in this case I can't seem to type it out.
I have so many things to share, but its so hard to start writing.
Maybe once I start writing I can flow, but for me the start is the hardest part.
I can't even begin to talk about it.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
It is my month people.
I think I'm going to be making two dinners, but I'm not sure.
It really depends on two things: if I make dinner for my family and if people want to spend time together.
I know I harp on it a lot, but I really enjoy the essence of the holidays.
I don't enjoy the commercialization of it, but its nice to go to the malls when everyone is busy looking for gifts for others.
I think it maybe one of the few times of the year where people spend more money for other people than they do for themselves.
The interesting thing about that is I don't spend money for anyone. Heh.
Is me not spending money on anyone/anything spending money for myself?

My dream:
To graduate next year from UCI with a degree in history and journalism.
If that's not possible then to graduate witha major in history and a minor in journalism.
Find an internship somewhere.
Get a job at another place (or at the place where I interned) after doing great work at the internship.
Become a traveler of the world.
Take pictures and become a photojournalist.
Or make documentaries about history like Ken Burns. (He is the man.)

Cakes with a grain of salt.

I'm in a very good place right now.
I quit my job.
I'm going to school.
My parents are supporting me and I'm blessed because they can.
I can't wait to go back to UCI
And I know that they can't wait to have me back.
Just biding my time now.

I'm not much of a fan of things that polarize.
I guess maybe two things: Jesus and Kobe.
Now I'm not putting those two people on the same plane.
Just saying they tend to get people on opposite spectrum.
As Aristotle would say....Strive for the Golden Mean.
Don't be too this or too that. Be in the middle.
This does not mean to be average.
Don't be average.
Strive for excellence, but try to achieve a balance in your attempt at excellence.
