Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, its off to eschewing I go. Mesmerized by your effulgent personality, I want to spend the rest of my life with you or until the episode of Full House is over. Having technology at my fingertips is a great opportunity to escape from the mundane.

People would die to be in my situation. Since I'm writing about my perspective, I might as well educate myself with what is going on outside of Phillip's world.

Reading an article from the BBC--a news station similar to CNN which I fell in love with every time I visit a foreign country. BBC, a news station unlike local stations in the United States focuses on covering the news, not about Paris Hilton or any other celebrity.--the Syrian government will be amending a law that will loosen restrictions on media as well as increasing benefits and wages for individuals in the public sector.

The sheer chaos, people panicking and screaming, the sounds of bullets in the air is a different atmosphere than the protest I attended when I was pursuing my Bachelors degree. A protest against capitalism, a protest against NAFTA was a peaceful demonstration. I remember taking a bus from Cal State LA, heading down to Tijuana where I  heard speakers voicing out their concerns and signs of "People Before Profit" were waving as individuals marched across the Mexican-American border.

I have to give respect for individuals continuing to the fight for a value they believe in.  It is encouraging how these individuals fight for a cause and despite the hardships they experience, they have a feeling that justice will work out.

Question 2: What do I think about most when I'm just standing in a queue?
In this world, nothing is certain except for death, taxes, and lines.
Whether its waiting in line at the supermarket or at the Department of Motor Vehicles, I think of a technique that was used in an Italian film, Life is Beautiful where the protagonist would use his energy to attract the woman of his dreams and protecting his son at a concentration camp.  In my case, my fingers begin to move like an ocean wave pushing out as I am making affirmations of being the next in line. When I die, I'll be making the same affirmations in Heaven, hoping that my assertion would expedite my admittance.

I'm praying to God, Buddha, Zeus now so I can receive a tax-break or even a tax-refund. Hopefully, I don't get audited.
                                                                                                                     

Today,I noticed how cars by a school near my house is similar to the V formation of geese. It is interesting how humans have a lot of similarities with animals.  Learning from animals can help us learn more about human behaviors.  Back in October 2010, I was tempted to take a UCLA extension course where I learn about behavioral studies with animals in the zoo. Unfortunately, I had to work.  C'est la vie.
