Happy Halloween

Well, other than this video I have nothing else much to share but the usual wear and tear of getting up in the morning and toiling a 9-5 job or in my cases 10AM-10PM.  Enjoy the visuals of this haunted house.  It's full of cheap thrills.  Seriously, I don't have anything else lined for up in my arsenal that can be presented this year.  I just feel drained from having to work.  Well, I mean at least I don't have another job or kids at the moment that I absolutely need to make ends meet.  After being depleted of my energy and resources from the work week, I just want to relax.  Yes, I'm enjoying my time right now blogging.  When looking back at this week particularly, I was ravished.  I had to drive to and from an average of 7-9 different nursing homes and house calls a day in two different states, New Jersey and New York, both daytime and nighttime!  If you thought school was unfair, wait until you have a job!  There's nothing more scary than having an actual job.  The stuff they assign you to do can just be unbearable.  I was literally thinking about quitting the whole time when I was on duty.  This is stuff they don't teach you at school, grit.  Grit is your ability to stick with something and finish it.  It's such an important life lesson that one needs to implement each and everyday, especially for work.  The unemployment rate is high, not because there aren't any jobs in America; it's because people don't want to invest their time in those high tech fields that require a lot of education and licensing.  Hell, I don't want to have to lift a finger when dealing with software, coding, and/or programming issues.  I can only make the best of my situation about blogging.  Of course, I've tried to hop on the bandwagon of the technological train, but like most things IT'S HARD.  None the less, I keep striving and reaching for the stars like one day my dreams will come true.

Although there's a whole laundry list anyone can complain about at any given time at work or even at home, I want to make a deep commitment about always being positive and happy.  No, it doesn't take a genius to be positive and happy.  No, you don't need to go anywhere or get a degree from any school.  All you need to do is adjust your attitude, your emotions, your state of awareness, your feelings, your sense of spirit from being down and defeated to being upright, just, uplifting, positive, and happy!

There is so much information out there now at our finger tips to the point we have a very limited amount of time to read everything!  Things I've learned that will change your life!

    • Focus on your breathing
    • To maximize your results for meditation, just clear your mind and focus on your breathing
    • Focus on simplicity 
Well, that's all I have for today.  Time is just flying by.  Today and the rest of the weekend is all I have left, which is really what most people have.  I guess I'm just a little bit spoiled.  It doesn't look like a lot of time for me to just chill and relax.  

Thank you everyone for coming!  Happy Halloween!  I hope it doesn't suck!

My X-Ray Technician Job

Hello my readers!  Well, this is me at my job.  This is what I do to roll in the dough.  Unfortunately, I'm taxed heavily and don't go home as excited as I should be.  Long story short just watch my video!  Please know that I've always been interested in industry, like human resources and how people earn their income.  I just wanted to make this video to give my audience what I do.  As a kid, I always wanted to know how the adults make their money.  I was always amazed by the power of money.  Being able to put a roof over your head or something as simple as putting food on the table was something that always sparked vast interest in me.  Being a mobile x-ray technician was never my first and foremost career path, but it has to suffice.  I'm a very practical and resourceful person, so this is just something that I saw as an obtainable opportunity.

What is there more to say?  I take people's x-rays for a living.  I do everything from the bottom, up.  I've done skulls, abdomens, hands, feet, arms, legs, chests, patellas, pelvis, shoulders, clavicles, L-spines, C-spines, T-spines, etc.  You name the bone, I've shot x-rays before.  Yes, I do have a life skill that I can offer an employer in exchange for an income.  I owe it all to the unemployment office that I now pay taxes towards.  Community college is just as good as any other college.  It's affordable and will get you a job no differently than a name brand college.  Whoever your boss is or what company is, they really just want you to work and get the job done given the limited time everyone has.  No, I'm not saying this is the ultimate solution for college students who can't find jobs; but it's a good option if you find yourself on the receiving end of the shorter stick.

Thanking you for tuning in.  I hope to post new content for next time!  Have a good week!  As for me, I'm just thankful if I can survive each day of my daily work shifts.

My youtube Misadventures!


Well, here is my most recent video I made about the Marvel Legends Iron Man Electronic Helmet.
You can watch it.  I can definitely improve on the quality and sound.  Unfortunately, I need to reduce everything just so I can upload it without it taking a day or two.  I'm lacking high speed internet, so I have to do whatever just to keep up with the John's.  Actually, my housing development doesn't support Verizon Fios.  None the less, I continue to try posting something up.

After pledging I would do a better job at youtube, here are my current results!  I have a total estimated review of a whopping 4 cents and a total of 41 cents using Google AdSense!
Okay, this right here explains everything that is wrong.  I just don't care enough to create well, thought out original content for my audience.  This is what happens to the people you don't see on podcasts who make it big.  This is what it looks like when you doubt yourself.  This is what failure looks like!  No, it's not pretty.  We all know what it looks like, yet some of us are continually stuck in this victimization mindset or blame other people.  We know things are hard, but how do we achieve success!?  This is why I am here.  I want to know how to succeed.  No, I'm not anywhere near where I want to be.  You can definitely learn WHAT NOT TO DO from me.  Seriously, I would not be able to survive making youtube videos.  Good Lord, how come some people have it so easy landing a million views their first time around?  Judging by the looks of it, I'm basically stuck in some kind of youtube Hell where no matter what I do, I just can't make enough to earn even a dollar.  I get it universe.  My youtube skills suck.  I need to improve if I want to achieve a greater audience and better revenue.

There is absolutely no need for me to feel paranoid.  I'm probably one of the least watched people on the planet.  I repeat, there is very little or no need for me to be paranoid.  It's perfectly clear that people don't want to watch me.  Even if I'm actually trying to entertain or audition, I've never made money out of it whatsoever.  Whatever it is that I've used to make people laugh, it was out of pure comedy and not money.  I don't make people laugh for money.  Yes, I do make people laugh at times, but I've never made a dollar from it.  One of my hidden talents is that people can burst out of sudden laughter in my presence, but I don't do it for money.  I don't harness money from making people laugh.  Laughing is something I can make people do, but it has nothing to do with money.  It's more of a spiritual thing to make people feel good or loosen up without having to invest in drugs or alcohol.      

As for my ego, I did what I could do.  I'm proud of whatever videos I've got to upload with the time I had.  Unfortunately, I suffer the same problems everyone else has trying to make an income.  No, I didn't spend any real money filming or uploading my videos.  I got to learn a lot, but I still want to learn more.  I want to improve myself.  Someday, I want to find some kind of substantial income making youtube videos.  Am I anywhere near that step?  I still have a long way to go.  I'm glad I have the opportunity, but it's up to me if I continue to act like this is a joke or not.  I want to take responsibility and make something of myself on youtube as though this was as serious as going to school or a job.  Yes, it'll take a lot more work and effort than whatever I'm putting in now.  Yes, I do need better equipment.  It is possible within my reach, but I need to try harder.  Now, I know I'm not delusional.  These things take a lot of time and effort.  Nothing will make you an overnight success unless you win the lottery.  If nothing else works, work harder.

Thank you for reading!  I hope to see you next time!

Greek Fest 2016



Well, I'm back.  The best thing that happened to me was the Greek Festival.  I finally discovered what was going on in that fancy funny shaped, bronze dome.  It was only $2 for admission!  The choice of food was great.  There was lamb, flounder, chicken, gyros, french fries, and even meat on the stick!  $8 for a sandwich!  $16 for lamb!  These were some hefty charges for food.  For the location, it's well worth it.  It's not cheap at all.  Even the beer was $5!  Good lord, this is not a place to be cheap.  Yes, they need that money to upkeep the beautiful church and community center that it is.  Relative to all the other places I've seen, this is one high maintenance environment.  It is very fancy with lush green and beautiful outdoor scenery.  Surprisingly, I only live about 10 minutes away down the hill!  How can such a great, well kept secret be hiding from me all this time!  

It was truly a beautiful spectacle.  The food is fresh.  The sky is blue.  The trees are green.  Everything is just placed so eloquently.  The people appear to be happy.  Volunteers and workers are more than happy to help and serve.  Music was in the air.  It was truly a great, steady production.  There didn't seem to be any serious issues or problems other than little kids not getting what they wanted from the parents.  People were genuinely happy to be there to chill, eat, dance, sing, face paint, listen, play music, or just do whatever.  

Beneath it all, it's "white people".  Well, the Greek people and its culture has been around since the dawn of time.  Hippocrates, Aristotle, Socrates, and all the ancient greats originated from Greek life way back in the day.  Essentially, a lot of Greek people are doctors or lawyers and most importantly have some serious cash hiding under their pillows at night.  I don't think going out with a Greek girl will go well with their father/family, unless you yourself are Greek or you have lots of gold to offer.  You must get involved in their community that's going on otherwise they'll never have the slightest idea who the hell you are.  Unless you are connected to them in some way, shape, or form through their school, work, or church it's pretty much hopeless.  If you really care, you'd invest time with, not just the girl, but their whole community.  Long story short, it's not easy.  If you just dive in for the girl, they'll know you're a creeper.  You have to play it smart and work  hard if you really want to win her over.  If you're anything like me, you'll just decided that everything is too hard and the best possible solution is to not give a crap and just have a good time with or without the girl. 

Well, next week starts my new work week.  We cannot change the fact that we all must work on Monday, but we can change our attitudes!  We can be positive about it!  We can be thankful that we have jobs!  We can be grateful that there are people who wish they had employment and pay like we do!  We can celebrate that we have made it so far into our careers!  It's about attitude!  Change your attitude!  Change your life!  Change how you look at things!  Girl or no girl, I will make my life that of a positive experience!    

Thank you for reading!  I hope to see you next time!

Time for the Beach


Well, I finally made it to the beach.  Unfortunately, a hurricane was coming in at the very same time. With all the time I had the whole year, this was my only successful attempt at spending time at the beach.  The weather that day was a bit chilly and definitely windy.  Swimming wasn't even allowed at the time.  As for the water, it continues to maintain that greenish murky color.  It was far from a romantic outing as I went with my family.  As usual, everyone was at each other's throat hole and yelling in some way, shape, or form.  Yelling, complaining, or nagging seems to be the normal means of communication.  It wasn't the most pleasant of trips.  Women get old, and they start nagging like a rundown vacuum cleaner on its last breath.  What do you want me to tell you?  It's unfortunate, but it happens.  No, I don't want to be surrounded by negative people but that's what is in it for me when hanging out together with family.  Crazy Asian parents is a constant theme people talk about.  There are tons of books out there like "Tiger Mom".  Everything is just one big competition full of arguing and yelling for something ridiculously stupid like a trophy or award.  I'm sorry, but I just want to be myself and enjoy life.  So much hate, so much anger, so much history of saltiness behind the Asian culture.  Are Asians any much different than what happened to the Jews, Native Americans, blacks, and/or Hispanics?  Perhaps if we all had fulfilling peaceful histories of love and culture, we wouldn't be arguing and yelling at each other all the time?  Look, the next time I go to the beach, I want to go by myself.  There's no need for yelling.  There's no competition to kill each other.  

I just wanted to have fun on the beach.  I just wanted to spend time enjoying the beach.  Is this to much to ask?  No, crazy orientated Asian parents do not need to be around.  Can't we all just get along?  Nope, the shoe never seems to fit.  I know of no other such life.  People seem to be only good at one thing and that's being at each other's throat with a knife.  What is the solution to this negativity?  Well, the books have suggested the know how of scarcity.  Every time a parent is trying to hurl themselves on you, you simply tell them you have to go somewhere and have no time.  Your shorttime with them will be valued more.  As a result, they'll be a lot nicer.  If you continue to stay with an helicopter parent, they'll just grow to become more controlling and tyrannical.  The law of scarcity is a valuable tool to practice when face such adversary.  

Tomorrow is Labor Day, Happy Labor Day!  Well, guess what?  I'm scheduled to work.  Wow, I'm on duty from 10AM-10PM.  That sounds pretty messed up.  I hope the doctors aren't around.  I'm preying that they get off.  Seriously, do sick people take days off?  Do the elderly reverse the aging process?  Do they just let patients die?  Welcome to the American healthcare system where administering medical exams is just like ordering water that comes out of the tap.  THEY WANT BLOOD.  THEY WANT COLD, HARD CASH.  THEY DON'T CARE IF IT'S LABOR DAY.  Yes, the drive is just that strong.  These people will slit and cut open your throat for the paycheck.  It's their lifeblood on the line!  I look to the ancient wisdom of knowledge to help me.  I can't change the situation, but I can change my attitude.  Instead of looking at work like it's going to be Hell, I should be thankful for the opportunity to work and earn a living.  A lot of people are waiting outside the unemployment line.  A lot of people are waiting outside the welfare office.  Yes, there are real people who line up everyday early in the morning outside government handout buildings all the time.  Some of the waiting lines stretch out as far as football fields.  You just have to appreciate what you have.  

Thank you everyone for coming and reading my blog.  I don't have much in this world, but at least I have you.  Each and everyone of my readers is so important to me.  Without you, I don't know where I would be.  Until next time and keep reading!

Loot Crate August 2016 - Antihero


Well, I tried out Loot Crate for once.  I got it off of Groupon and wanted to be like everyone else doing a review.  The good news is that I edited the sketch.  The bad news is that I continue to have very little or no views at all whatsoever.  Good, unique interesting content usually adds to the view count.  So all you need to do really is have some good footage and the word will spread.  Unfortunately, mediocre work will not cut it.  I guess I just don't promote either.  I really don't feel that this could be the best work I can do, but it works.  I can work on my game but this is all the time I have for at the moment.  I'm just a beginner learning the basics.  None the less, here is my video.  I thought about it and did it!  So, yes I can continue to film and review stuff people may have interest in.

That sums up the end of my weekend.  I don't have to do diddly squat unless I'm fully deployed for work but is that all I want for myself?  I only do stuff when I'm on the job?  Don't I ever go venture out in the world and do something exciting for the soul purpose of enjoying life?  It appears that I don't give a hoot.  I care about trying new and exciting dishes to eat, but when it comes to spending money on travel I think back how hard it was to earn that money.  No matter what anyone tells you MAKING MONEY IS HARD.  I don't enjoy spending so much money on an airplane ticket only to windup back at the same sh*t hole I started at.  There's no real point in me traveling.  I more into being happy on the inside than spending money on frivolously things that'll only last a day or two.  Food is the only exception, but it offers so much nutritional value the body actually needs.

Seriously, here we go again it's Monday tomorrow morning.  Worst of all, it's almost the end of summer.  This is all we have time for!  There's no time machine that can take you back.  Whatever happened, happened.  I worked a minimum of 40 hours a week Monday - Thursday and took the rest of the weekend off only to repeat the same schedule all over again.  I used my time to workout at the gym and swim at the pool.  I also did a little bit of shopping here and there.  I spent very little or no time in traffic trying to head somewhere far away.  Although I wished I could travel far out to California, Florida, or even Hawaii, time and money is always an issue.  I also don't want to feel the dread of having to come back here like a yo-yo.  $1000 on airfare only to fly out and comeback here with nothing much to show for it except a bunch of pictures.  It sounds kind of cliche, but we all do it.  If only I had something with more longevity like a job or visiting friends/family I actually trusted.  We come and go, but the important thing is to enjoy the time we have.  I made sure to squeeze in a lap dance or two.  Yes, it was well worth the money as chasing beautiful women on the streets may take a lot of effort and/or time.  In other words, I'm all about having cheap thrills.

Speaking of which I've been approached by family/friends about being the ripe old age of 31 and not being married yet.  "You should get married and have kids" is what everyone says.  Are you serious?  Marriage and having kids is one of the most expensive things conceivable.  Do you people think before you have children?  I don't want my child to be born in some kind of a ghetto!  I want my child to have their own room at least.  What about their mother?  Everyone seems to know me, but who in the hell knows the mother of my kids?  Who's the mom?  No one knows who the freaking mom is.  I don't even know who the mother of my children is.  How the hell could I possibly have children if I don't even have a grasp on who the mother is?  Jesus Christ, I don't even have my own place yet.  I'm a dude for life.  There's no way in Hell can this all work out without divine intervention of some sorts.  I'm better off spending my hard earned money on booklets of lottery tickets than to waste my time chasing a woman.  They're both equally as bad, but I would rather choose the lottery instead.  You are right, a lot of poor people still get married and have kids.  In fact, that is all you really see here in the ghettos:  Poor people on welfare with too many kids.  Don't insanely rich people ever have kids?  In any event, I'm too down to Earth to know better:  DON'T HAVE KIDS.  No, I can't handle working more hours.  No, I can't handle the woman screaming at me for no particular reason.  No, I can't handle people crying.  No, I don't want to see anymore bloodshed.  I don't want any of that sh*t!  I'm tired of it!  Leave me alone!  I'm happy with whatever I have at the moment.  You think beautiful women just spawn out of the heaves to have kids with men?  Don't make me laugh.

Thank you for visiting, I hope to see you next time!

DON'T TELL ANYONE YOU WON THE LOTTERY!


Well, I finally began my journey to winning the lottery.  After doing my research and dabbling, I resorted to playing scratch offs.  Basically, you are only allowed to play within your budget and buy ten of the same tickets out of the machine.  Without adding anymore fluff or sugar coating anything, I played the $5 game ten times.  As I have noted before the, NJ Lottery website dictates that this has a handful of a prizes left that no one as claimed yet.  Yes, I've done a bit of research before select this game in particular.  No, I didn't want to play a game that everyone has claimed nearly all the prizes already.  In a nutshell, I spent the time to look into the best shot at winning.  Well, guess what?  Even with my cold calculated ways, I only won $5.  Yes, I spent $50 to get $5 back like a chump.  It feels rough.  It feels bad.  It feels like Governor Chris Christie who has his named on the back stabbed me in the back so he can further feed his overwhelming fat self.  In the end, it was no one else's fault but my own to be gambling.  It was my choice.  I did it.  Thank God I limit myself to my budget, so I can keep away any negative side effects.    

So will I continue down this dark road?  If so, how often?  Is this a once a month kind of a thing?  Do I do it every week?  $50 a month for entertainment sounds reasonable.  In one year, $50 a month would translate to $600.  I could be saving up an additional $600 a year in the bank or waste it away on scratch offs.  $600 a year could better be spent on books!  According to the vast majority of wealthy people, books are of the most uttermost importance.  They provide us with knowledge, wisdom, inspiration, imagination, or just something to look forward to doing everyday.  As you can see, I'm rather stingy with my money.  I work hard for it.  We all work hard our money.  Maybe playing the lottery isn't something for me?  Or am I just too weak to stomach my loses and continue playing?  That's how the pros win at just about anything.  Athletes continue to train no matter if they win or lose.  Is it the same kind of mentality that perpetuates people to continue to play the lottery and win?  Do I deviate from my strategy?  Do I doubt my research?  Do I just start changing up things out of fear?  The greats will tell you to just keep doing what you're doing for mastery.  That means to put down more hours, effort, and even money into it!  If it's your thing, you'll continue to practice and train.  You have to train, train, and train.  Yes, this rule of mastery even applies to winning the lottery.  What are your chances of being a top tier singer, song writer, author, actor, computer programmer, doctor, dancer, or anything for that matter?  Winning the lottery is no different.  The chances are slim to none, but you keep trying until you hit it big.  If you give up, forget about it.

Guess what?  I'll be going to work tomorrow working on my trade.  No, I didn't win the lottery.  Yes, I have to continue to tinker and work on my craft.  There's no going back.  Don't you understand?  You can't just walk out.  You have to continue to train and work hard.  I don't want to feel like I'm complaining about having to go to work every Monday.  I want to feel like I'm working on my craft.  I want to feel like I'm being productive.  I don't want to be reminded how I have to work hard everyday so I can keep people on welfare.  I really want something to look forward that I can't obtain by just keep working like everyone else.  There's a price to pay just for giving it a chance.  What's the solution?  Gambling, I bet.  Gambling is my form of entertainment.  Gambling is my drug.  I know it's not pretty, but everyone has their demons.  Mine just happens to be scratch offs.  

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope to see you next time.
