human behavior is unpredictable - too many variables.systems are put in place to manage human behavior.management is needed to organize and steer the productive direction of society.organization is required by those who wish to control and influence that direction.the result? a convoluted super spiderweb-matrixed bureaucracy everywhere you turn. i've realized im adding to this!

virginia tech is the new columbine, except this time the shooter was asian.what does this mean for asian americans? this dumbass probably set us back another 50 yrs. im wondering if this is a tipping point. will north korea animosity + china rising + virginia tech translate into a new climate of hate for asians? or have we actually made progress by breaking through the model minority stereotype

strategy seems to follow naturally when you prioritize your personal interests above that of others. however i wouldn't be surprised if great strategists are also perceived as selfish. they probably would not subscribe to principle over pragmatism.

allow me to be declarative (again) for the moment, as i always am on this blog. i think judgmental people reveal that they have a narrow view of the world. each judgment call underscores an assumption or belief which has influenced how they perceive others interacted with.the irony? my opinion of judgmental people in this entry is a judgement call in itself and reveals how i perceive the world

the most annoying thing in the world: someone telling you what you should be doing.friends, parents, girlfriends, backseat drivers...i realize often the intentions are good, but i like to make decisions for myself, thank you. if i havent done it your way, thats because i dont want to do it that way, or i have some reasons you havent bothered to ask me about.

human nature dictates that we like to be good at things we love. (a conclusion i've made from my own observations) therefore, if we do not love what we currently do, are we not at a competitive disadvantage against those that do?im motivated, but not enough. i screw around an awful lot, i cant even control it. there are those getting ahead faster than me, doing what they love.therefore. in the

It's much harder to be positive and see the wonder of everything. Cynicism is a bunch of people who aren't as talented as other people, knocking them because they make them feel even more untalented." - Ewan McGregor

on sizing up ppl:easier to do and more accurate for strangers that you can judge objectively. much more difficult to do with ppl you have deep personal relationships with or long history, also difficult to tell if people have changed when you spend alot of time with that person.

so this is what a 12 hr day at the office feels like... i did 7 to 7 today no lunch, first time. a shitload to finish before i leave, the least they can do is throw in a free t-shirt.random thought of the day: the key to building lasting friendships is to not base it on circumstance, but on timeless universal themes. for example, if all i ever did with friend A was bitch about math class, after

latest obsession, i have moved from jazz to slow songs from the 1950s ala cheezy sock hop high school prom - dancing with your ponytailed girl under a disco ball spinning out distorted silver dots all over the gym (fag!). stupid goodfellas soundtrack had a role in steering me towards the 50s tip. man songs back then were so simple and carefree, for some reason they are so relaxing after a long
