inspiring video - the Violinist and scenics are incredible!  this song just makes me happy:)

multi-million/billion dollar ideas: solve for "X"

=>  multi-million/billion dollar ideas:  solve for “X” 
-  social media marketing for all businesses is increasing by 75% - and growing!  create a software for business owners that will help them track ROI on all their SMM (Social Media Marketing) campaigns.  there are very few tools out there.
-  by 2030, 40% of Americans will be overweight.  create the next P90X, Jenny Craig, Sensa…make it cheaper and faster!
-  Apps are the future and we’ve just scratched the surface.  create a software that will allow any consumer (with no coding experience) the ability to create a first class app!
-  ebooks are also the future!  create a better means to create and distribute ebooks…and pay a higher commission than Amazon, Apple, and Barnes & Noble.
-  find the next “superfruit!”  bottle it or make it into a pill…then, have Costco sell it! 
-  create the next wrinkle cream.  the Babyboomers are already old, and the Gen X’ers are getting old - they will buy it!
-  create little studios across major malls, Walmarts, and Targets throughout the nation.  these studios will focus on helping anyone that wants to create their own micro tv show (with a higher production value) for youtube, vimeo…  studio time will be cheap, and will have in-house directors and writers.  producing “higher-end” micro videos are the future.  youtube spent $200M for professionally produced content…new shows rolling out at the end of summer.
=>  create any of the above and put me as one of your board of directors…with a shit load of stock;) 

Scion FR-S…love this car!

Arcachon, France: just an 1.5hr drive from Bordeaux.

discover the Art of Wine Tasting!

how to BLOCK all those annoying “game and app” invites: on you facebook home page, you will see “Apps and Games” on the left column…click on it. at the top you will see all those “invites” from your FB friends (klout, sims…). next, click on the small “x” on the upper right side of the invite. when you click on it, you will see “block Klout” or whatever they sent you. that’s it!

The Big Picture! 

disgraceful…revolting! i would love to go a few rounds with each one of these bastards on this video, and show them what it truly feels like to be kicked or punched in the head. i cut back my pork intake last year by 75% - this year will be 90%…then, completely off of it! pigs are very intelligent and learn quickly. they pick up tricks faster than dogs. pigs rank #4 in animal intelligence behind chimpanzees, dolphins and elephants. please keep in mind, a rack of BBQ ribs is nice, but it’s not worth the sacrifice these intelligent animals have to go though to satisfy a human craving. and don’t be an asshole and post something stupid on my thread like, “that’s what their here for.”

St. Emilion, France…discovering ancient history. 

Asian culture - stuff you may or may not know:

Asian culture - stuff you may or may not know:
-  China discovered America in 1421 a century before Magellan and Columbus…still being debated.
-  eating rice or noodles every meal is the norm.  rice and soy sauce goes with everything!
-  we like to finish our meals with soup.  not considered a starter.
-  we don’t eat cheese.  many Asians dislike the smell.  not many cows in most Asian countries.
-  hot beverage of choice is some sort of tea.  we consider it more civilized than coffee. 
-  we excel in math:)
-  we do not excel in American football or basketball.
-  Bruce Lee is the hero for many young Asian men.
-  #1 goal when we’re young - get straight “A’s”
-  #1 goal when we’re out of school - make a shit load of money…and take care of our parents.
-  would love to be a professional student.  we love to learn!
-  we think California rolls, PF Changs, and Panda Express are disgusting!  but, we will eat it if it’s the only Asian option.
-  we always want to know how much you paid for stuff…”how much you pay!”
-  if we color our hair it usually comes out “orangey.” 
-  Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Mercedes, and Panerai are the brands of choice.
-  we do not put our parents into homes, they move back home with their children during their senior years.
-  very well traveled.
-  prefer to work for ourselves than for others.
-  we are bad drivers!
-  we always look young, but when we reach 80 - we look like we’re 200;)  
-  Asians love to gamble! 
-  when we drink alcohol we get the “Asian Frush.”
-  we can be extremely rude, but when you get to know us we’re extremely hospitable.  Japanese are the exception. 
-  food is one of the most important parts of our culture.
-  we are not cheap - just frugal.  we love to save!
-  we are loud talkers because we love to interrupt each other, so we have to talk louder to be heard;)  Japanese are the exception. 
-  China is one of the cradles of the modern human race.  dating back 67,000 yrs ago.
-  we are extremely impatient.  Japanese are the exception. 
-  you turn 1 when you’re born.
-  if you do not marry by the time you’re 30-35, most family members will think you’re gay.
-  the Chinese are the masters of “replicating.”  in a few years you will see Chinese versions of French and Italian wines…not that they will be any good;)
-  arrange marriages still happen today.
-  there is a certain “hierarchy” among the Asian race.
-  we are extremely adaptable.  there are more Asian homesteaders/business owners in more parts of the world than any other race.  
-  if the Moon was habitable…we would be up there setting up a manufacturing plant, restaurant, and convenience stores. 
i urge you to visit an Asian country - it’s an experience you’ll never forget! 

Life-Vestment!

Instruction Manual...

if life came with an instruction manual, i believe the first chapter would be,”take the time to know what makes you tick…emotionally and mentally.  what makes you happy?  angry?  sad?  what drives you?  what scares you?”  people fine it odd or sometimes strange that i can “turn myself on and off, emotionally, mentally, and physically.”  i’m not weird, nor am i strange, i’ve just taken a lot of time to know myself.  there are less challenges in life, if you take time to figure out, “what makes you TICK!”  

love is a bit overrated...

years ago an ex-girlfriend asked me, “what do you think is the most important ingredient in a relationship?”  i paused for a quick second, “you think it’s love don’t you?”  she replied “yes…but i have a feeling you don’t agree.”  i didn’t want to get in another heated argument with her because after years of not seeing each other - we just started to become friends, “i do agree with you, love is key in any relationship, but i don’t believe it’s the most important.  i truly believe the most important part in a successful relationship is…respect.  love falls somewhere between 3 and 4;)”  there was a dead silence…the little voice in my head said, “oh shit, is this the start of one of our battles?”  she looked away, then turned back to me with a half-smile…”you know for once, i do agree with you…”

every day in my “spam box” i get regular emails trying to sell me Viagra, a penis enlarger, or a CEO headhunter offering me a job. i have come up with the ultimate “spam email!” an email offering “YOU!” a job with Pfizer (in their Viagra dept) heading up their new “experimental” penis enlargement pill. you know what - i would open that email…just out of curiosity;) the only thing good about “spam” is “Musubi!

when it comes to our families weight, my Taiwanese mom only uses 2 phrases, “how come you so fat!” or “how come you so skinny!

i’ve never followed a “planned path.” therefore, i’ve created my own “luck.

How to get over disappointment. step 1: Quickly analyze what went wrong (find 1 key point)…internalize it to insure you don’t repeat. step 2: Utter these two simple words, “fuck it!” step 3: Move on and never look back. Most people can never get over disappointment because they keep “stewing” over it, then it snowballs into a BIG KNOT in your GUT! No reason to beat yourself up over a lost opportunity or a relationship. Been practicing this for many years. I never get disappointed and I don’t repeat the same mistake. recap: Analyze…2 simple words…No regrets and move on! have a wonderful weekend:)

i believe the meaning to life is, “creating as many beautiful and fun
memories you can in one’s lifetime.” during times of hardship, these are the memories one reverts back to…the good times - it keeps one thriving! if you can understand and grasp
this concept…then, you’re on your way to a life of prosperity and
happiness. the point to life is not to, “live day-by-day and see what happens?” life is not difficult if you know how to remove certain components. so many of us “add,” but it’s the “removing,” that fosters a positive environment. create, listen to your heart, and live well:)
