- I do my thing and you do your thing.
- I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
- And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
- You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
- If not, it can't be helped.

When I was a kid, there was a cliche: "And the rest is history." Overused.
Now the cliche has morphed into a new one: "And the rest, as they say, is history." Way overused.
I propose a new one: "And, as they say, the rest, as they say, is history."
or: give it a rest
Ran out of floss last night and forgot to buy more today. I ended up using one of these plastic throwaway flossers that my 8-year-old uses. I was on the second tooth and--pop!--off fell the crown. 11:30 PM.
I have to figure out how to get to my dentist tomorrow.
I've written four new articles on my business blog:
Imagine a person who is living his dream life. For him, living the dream means waking up early and exercising, eating a leisurely breakfast with his family, working on his home business for six hours, having dinner with a friend or a client, practicing the piano, and then having several hours of family time.
He also saves money and goes on mini vacations every quarter, and a long overseas trip once per year.
He’s done this successfully for two years now and he’s loving it.
One day he wakes up with a terrible flu. His body aches and he’s dizzy with a fever. He spends the entire day in bed, unable to move.

Hurricane Hetta has tagged me to write eight random things about myself. I will go as fast as I can...
- I have been to many schools since I graduated from High School, including DeVry, Musician's Institute, multiple community colleges, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where I finally got a degree.
- I went through a phase where I loved epic poems. I read everything I could get my hands on, including the Iliad, Beowulf, Icelandic literature, the Kalevala, Nibelungenlied, The Song of Roland, and many, many more. They gave me a great sense of what it means to be human, and to struggle.
- Current favorite video game: Dance Dance Revolution, Mario Mix. Favorite dance in that game: Always Smiling.
- I am on the Atkins diet. The first three days of no sugar and no caffeine had me weak and shaking and convinced me that I had an addiction, not a habit. The snack I spoil myself with now is apples with peanut butter.
- As soon as I know I want to watch a movie or read a particular book (for example, if somebody I trust recommends it), I don't want to know a single bit about what it's about--not even if it's a comedy or a drama. I like to come in completely blind and let the storyteller bring me into the world.
- I have lived in 10 different states in the U.S. and even more cities.
- I wrote a computer program in Java that generates moves on a Rubik's Cube and checks to see if they did anything interesting (for example, swap only two corners). I used the output of that program to create a solution where you only have to learn four moves to solve the cube.
- I have a HAM radio license.
