| Hey EVERYONE! |
[Mar. 3rd, 2008|07:06 pm] |
I'm having a GRAND STORE OPENING for my NEW online store this Thursday at 8pm!
The location will be at my house.
I'm going to have dozens of different product samples for everyone to try. I'd love to have everyone I know come over. If not for anything, than just for support in numbers. Please try to free up time on your schedules to at least come see what I do. Let me know!

[Jan. 13th, 2006|10:49 pm] |
It's been a while hmm? Figured Friday the 13th is as good of a day as any...
So updates are a-plenty. Got thru hell (my 6th x-mas at Ivar's). Too much politcal bullshit at my store. Treated unfairly in the company, under-respected (or paid, however you look at it). Made me want to go find another job.
Put applications in at 4 places. First place (T-Mobile Dealer) I put one into set up an interview two days later.
Interviewed with the National Hiring Manager, Regional Hiring Manager, and Local Hiring Manager (WTF?! right?).
Got called following day (yesterday). Got the job.
OH MAN. Sooooo ecstatic. More $$$, possibilities, etc. I even have my current District Manager working on an offer to give me a nice raise.... hehehe. Should make out well either way! I'm soooo happy.
Uh, trying to survive the bills and stuff.
Eh, gonna drive somewhere someday soon. Any ideas?

[Sep. 4th, 2005|09:55 pm] |
Peter kinda made me want to put a post up similar to what he had. Thank you for your description of me, I've heard it before. To tell you the truth, I don't really know what to think of myself in terms of being a friend, a co-worker, or a boyfriend (well... ex now). I have yet to determine my purpose. I know that each of us has a purpose, that is what I believe. I believe that in a circle of friends (or a network as it may be) everybody holds a piece. It's unusual to notice but when one piece is broken a chain of events usually occurs in direct response (or correlation) to the event that is happening.
Everybody has a level they deem 'friendship' with one another. Each person can and will have a different level of friendship with a specific person. Sure, sometimes that level may change from time to time, but it rarely differs from the point at which it was before. People, so I've noticed (in my short-lived 21 years), may stray from friendships, only to discover them again later. Though there are instances where a major event happens that will change the friendship in a way that will last (well, as far as I've noticed) forever (or quite a long time).
I can think of many examples with myself and each of those descriptions. I won't list them here, it may bore all of you.
Because of the sensitivity of friendships and of how delicate ones are, I've noticed that it always needs to remain that you cannot (and should not) really try to tamper with friendships that you have. It's a difficult balance to keep, and I myself have done some very idiotic things to which changed many of my friendships and the ways that I currently coexist with the people around me.
I have not changed much from the boy most of you knew in high school. I have just taken a much different route then many of you. I have done quite a bit to myself and others and have came to thus conclusions that which I have most recently just described. I wish that I could go back and alter a few things that I have done to myself and (mostly) to others. But I don't want to change the way things are now. I do sometimes reflect (as I have quite a bit recently), but only for the benefit of teaching myself new things, and ways to manage myself and my friendships (etc.).
Just like all others, though, it can sometimes be very hard to decipher anything out of any situation. Things may cloud your judgement, outside factors may push and pull (sway) your mindset, and things sometimes just don't work out in the way that you had planned them to. That's when I'll take a few steps back, reorganize myself and my life, then continue on with whatever it may be that I was trying to work myself through.
I don't know what will happen, but now I realize that I do have a choice in whatever position I will be in. I think it's about time that I follow what I used to follow when I was younger, "Live for the moment, Learn from the past, Whilst at all times realizing that you do have control of what will happen to you in the future" (and don't lose sight of that). One must put up a goal and take all the steps necessary to finish that goal. May it be personal or otherwise.
I hope that in the next few weeks (alongside my work) I can place myself in a position to fix what I have done; to others, and myself.
I've tried to grow up too fast. At the same time, I'm trying to live as if I'm not grown. I'm trying to do too much, yet at the same time... too little. I think it's time to find a happy medium. That way I don't have to stress myself out over some of things that I have. I just hope that by the time I figure all of this out I will not have placed myself in a worst situation than which I have had before. I want to figure all of this out. Give me time.
Bruce
P.S.- ILU |

"Everything You Want"
Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return
[Chorus]
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
[Chorus]
But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return
[Chorus]
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know ...
So a little over the top. Only half of that song means what I feel. Nice to know that when you think that you did almost everything right... almost, and then with some realization you come to find out that the one thing you cannot seem to get right comes back and ruins and kills everything you have that was good...
I didn't mean for this, I don't want this as much as you don't (so I thought... till those last few comments). Good luck with everything, hope you find what it is that I didn't do for you. Touche as they say in France Touche (as you said).
Things shouldn't have ended like this, not so harsh. Nothing makes sense anymore. Nothing at all. Everything that has been right for a while has crashed. I'm crashing, cannot stop myself. Now it's happening a little faster then before. It was going to happen, now it's a little faster. Guess that's what I get. It's ALWAYS MY FAULT. Everytime I think I learned my lessons I do something else that ruins it all. Everytime. There are quite a few witnesses to this. Ask a few exes.
I will always be here. I will always be the person that you knew. Please don't let this turn into what I think it might turn into.
Bon nuit ma amie. Bon nuit. Je t'aime ma cherie.
Bruce
P.S.- I do remember they always say for better for worse... hmm... god didn't realize how hard that can be. |

It's so different down here. It's over 101 degrees (I think it hit 105). Food and drinks are similar priced (damn huh). But the drinks are usually on special 2/1 or somethin. Corona's are cheap as hell (and damn good with lime). Got burned (all three of us). Mr. I put on suntan once every half-hour (peter) isn't that bad. Brian's bad... and I'm not well off. Lol. But it'll be a nice tan when all worked out. We went to the place called "Lands End" (the point here in Baja where the Pacific is on one side of the beach with huge waves and riptides, and the Bay on the other). Beautiful clear water beaches, and fine sand, and fine scenery. It's just a beautiful place. Just damn hot!!! Well anyway we are off to go enjoy the evenings catch the sunset and bar hop (and get DRUNK) one more time. Take care! Be back in Seattle around 6-10 o'clock in the evening Saturday.

Well myself and a guy named Peter Yiap and Brian Cary are headin to Cabo San Lucas! First time in Mexico baby. Time to relax, tan, do nothing, be stupid and not care!!! Anyway, tis good times. Leavin tomorrow or Tuesday (whenever the flight opens up), till Saturday. Should be fun.
I guess on that note I'll have my phone with me (for emergency use only) and my laptop (will check nightly). So I will say adios, adieu, au revoir, ciao, etc etc... if you want to get ahold of me contact me at knightofhonor19@yahoo.com and I'll shoot you an email back. Take care!

| Oh what a night... |
[May. 7th, 2005|11:43 pm] |
Back on May 6th 2005... what a special time for me... what a party what a night...
Ahem, anyway... last night was some of the most fun I've had with the guys ever. Period. I haven't had that much fun drinkin, partyin, hangin with the boys... as I did last night. There was no drama what-so-ever! I loved it.
Need those nights more often.
Will someone else I know get married so we can have another party like last night? Please?
Jk.
Today was fun, too. Got to eat with my mom, look at furniture... read an awful lot. Research... and plan out the next 12 months. Looks like everything that I started a few months ago is finally falling into place.
You know that this world has equilibrium, so it all works out in the end. Everyone has their ups and downs... looks like my low ended, and things are going up and up... everywhere around me. It's awesome.
Life is a lovely bunch of coconuts and I think I found the best tree in the plantation.
3 weeks and counting...
4 weeks and counting for the other thing I'm looking forward to.
So in a month and a half this is where I'll be in terms of everything:
1. Down to one car, instead of two...
2. Debts payed down by 1/2 of what they are now (computer, fry's, half my credit card, and a portion of my loan all payed off).
3. The co-owner of our first piece of real-estate!
4. Looking at everything and finally able to say that besides my car... i'm in the positive in net worth (for the first time in years!).
5. Finished with the website and will have business cards...
6. Looking for my second piece of real estate (this time thru the business)
7. In a position for a phat raise (or a new job... thinking about a couple of options that will put me in a position to make more money than my boss at a job that I won't hate).
8. Out living life to the best that I can.
oh and may I mention...
9. 8 months into a strong relationship.
I definitely can't complain anymore. For everything that has happened, I'm sorry it went this way... but we're ALL better off now than we were before. I know that everyone that I know will have their lifes back in order in a short while... so things should improve with everyone... (perfect timing too... party time for the 21 year olds in the group is coming up for most of us!)
Much love to the homiez that have been around and still are alive and kickin. Best of luck to those of whom that are not around (via personal choices, vendetas, or otherwise). I hope that we all have had our share of learning (let it continue) and lets go to the next stage of life.
Oh, one more thing. Gotta make goals in life, so I'm gonna start by posting some here.
1. By the age of 21- own a piece of real estate (Check)
2. By the age of 23- own 2 pieces of real estate
3. By the age of 25- be involved in a career that I'll enjoy (albeit Commercial sales or Real Estate Agent... definitely seriously considering it... only 9 months of training)
4. By the age of 22- have an income from all of my sources surpassing 40-45000 a year...
5. By the age of 30- be settled with a family and a permanent residence...
And finally take a trip back to Vietnam by the age of 25.
Bruce
I think all of those goals are possible, as long as if I stay focused.... nothing will get in my way from now on... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. |

[Apr. 23rd, 2005|04:42 pm] |
To change everything, or just one thing. What to do... I'm never sure anymore. I've seen some people I haven't seen in years today... makes me wonder what could've been. To change things, or just one thing... I don't know anymore.
I'm not 100% sure of what to do from here, but whatever it is I choose, I'll be better for it for the long while...
BTW D will be back today

[Apr. 17th, 2005|11:26 am] |
Fuck you. Fuckity Fuck Fuck, you. Yeah there we go. I've got a mocha and I'm not afraid to use it.
I'm hyper.
So *bounce bounce bounce*, let me use my limited IQ resource and explain life to this journal.
Life is confusing, harsh, ever-revolving, and runs in a circular fashion. The only way to break out of the circle of life is to disrupt the trend. One will never change the way they are or the way they view life unless they make a huge change, everyone tries to make subtle changes but it never works. I believe that there have been some subtle changes in recent memory, but it's time to finish off with a bang, something huge is going to happen, and it's going to happen soon. Really soon, so watch out, watch yourself, and show me what you're workin with cause this ain't a game no more. It never was, time to show everyone what I'm made of. 3 years ago I graduated from Tyee High School. Then everything changed.
Since then I've dropped out of college, moved out for 4.5 months, worked 6 different jobs, put my 2 week notice in (made it to day 14, then retracted), bought a new car, got myself into debt (and I mean DEBT), fucked around (a lot), got myself something from a girl (about a year ago), had one miscarriage, what else (had three relationships... make that four). Cheated on 1.5 of them. Tripled my partners, etc. So I've "learned a lot" about how life is, and how much one can fuck one-self over.
Guess what? I'm only that much better then I was when I graduated high school. I know quite a bit more about life and choices and action/reaction... and have since applied them to my lifestyle.
One can bring up those around him/her, or bring them down. Everyone is a unique individual with unique talents and abilities... one does not NEED to be influenced by others. One will learn on ones own. Do I regret some of my choices? Yes, everyday of my life so far. Will I harbor them? No, it won't do me any good. I learned and now am living.
I think this will continue in another post... (probably later this afternoon)
Part 1 of Life |

| Thank you John, |
[Apr. 10th, 2005|11:25 am] |
I feel like this is something that people should take heed of. A very nice quote indeed.
'Remember a wise man builds his house upon the rock, but a foolish man builds it upon the weak sand. This parable can be exteneded to all aspects of life...Choices, lifestyles, friends'. |
