Sometimes you just have to give in.

Patience-Written while hiding in a bathroom at Equinox.

Ideas into fruitions, become a self-starter.
Taking control of one's life couldn't be harder.
Forget about the small things, why even bother?
Keep it simple, patience is key and always try harder.
Learning lessons along the way is essential.
So, take what you can out of every interaction in your existence as man.

All the answers to lives questions are buried inside.
Learning to listen to that little voice will finally make you feel alive.
Help you survive the day to day struggles--
Give you everything that this life can provide.

Dr. Andy Berk's Quantium Theory--A Journal Entry

"The notion of one reality or conscious plane of existence is inherently flawed. Time and time again, the model is borne out in our experience with self. The model of multi-dimensional existence of the soul is easy to comprehend if we ponder the ease with which we facilitate life and happiness with the concurrent shedding of the over burdening sense of self.

As such, our beings, individually and collectively exist, radiate and expand in multiple directions, along multiple planes of existence, all with a unique direction and outcome. This is how we dream, the state in which our souls collect and join into one.

Free choice, as a thought can only exist if there are multiple pathways down which the soul may venture. The key is the calibrate one's physical consciousness in this earthly reality to embrace all other realities in which our souls reside. As such, we will not only merge to one, complete and whole, but also with all others, the composite underlying, all encompassing force borne of the creator which defines all that is, was and will be." -Dr. Andy Berk

A year in review:

I am sitting here at a French CafĂ© in Brentwood, Ca burning sometime between clients. The only wireless signal that I can scrounge up is from the Starbucks next door. I cannot access it because it is a “pay as you go” deal. That’s fine. It seems that I am never fully bored when I have a hand, a pen (or laptop in this case). I feel like it has been a long time since I blogged here. Ive been cheating on blogger with twitter.

Nearly one year ago I started this fine digital masterpiece (ha). It was for a school project in Dr. Bae’s class. Oh, how I love that woman. Regardless, this year has been pretty nuts. I guess there is still one-week left, which I am highly optimistic about. Though, it seems most of the meat and potatoes are over. Everyone is on vacation—Wrapping things up.

Megan is in town. She drove a 6,000 mile round trip to come see yours truly. If that isn’t gratifying-what is? I love that girl more than I can begin to explain.

As you’ve read: I have evolved from a bright-eyed college grad to psudo suicidal basket case to an avid biker chick, mended a broken heart, fell in love a few times, smiled a lot more in recent months than I could remember. I moved cross country, picked up sweaty gym towels, made countless new friends and kept ties with the old. Rode in a Lamborghini. Changed careers, started my own business and actually make enough to support myself. Moved 5 separate times. And survived hell—Living in the guest house and not being able to afford food to eat. Oh, and I still have the body of a 16 year old. :D Aside from my personal financial crisis—Looking back at the ups and downs…Life has treated me well.

Its now a few days to the new year and my perspective is ever-changing. I am now homeless. My sister left me for her sugar daddy. He offered to pay all her rent. Cant much blame her I suppose. You can’t predict the future but you sure as hell can learn from the past. And to those monumental life lessons I have learned this year—I say, “Cheers! To 2008’s hard lessons, and 2009’s success as a result!”.
