RECOGNIZED

SO I DECIDED TO POST THIS MYSELF INSTEAD OF HAVING SOMEONE ELSE POST IT. I DONT THINK IVE MENTIONED IT BEFORE OR MAYBE I DID AND NOW I FORGOT... ANYWAYS... A WHILE BACK I DID A COMMERCIAL FOR TOYOTA :) YES... A COMMERCIAL. LONG STORY SHORT TOYOTA NEEDED SOMEONE TO FILM A CAMRY AD AND MY FRIEND SHOWED MY IMPROMPTU AD THAT I DID ON INSTAGRAM AND SOMEONE ELSE SAW IT OR SOMETHING AND THEN THEY CONTACTED ME TO DO IT. THATS ALL THERE IS TO IT REALLY LOL. I DID THIS A FEW MONTHS BACK AND IT WAS SUPPOSE TO AIR IN APRIL, IT DIDNT AND I DIDNT REALLY MIND IF IT DIDNT AIR. AS LONG AS I GOT A COPY OF THE SPOT THEN I WOULD BE HAPPY. FAST FORWARD 2 MONTHS... ITS ON TV, RADIO, AND INTERNET... LOL. I MIGHT AS WELL JUST TELL YOU THAT I KNEW THE 30 SECOND SPOT WAS ONLINE, BUT IT WAS ONLY RECENTLY I FOUND OUT THE 60 SECOND SPOT WAS ALSO ONLINE. 30 SECOND ONE I DONT MIND ITS FINE AND ALL BUT THE 60 SECOND... WELL LET JUST SAY MY FRIENDS LIKE THE AWESOME FRIENDS THEY ARE... THEY RIPPED ME A NEW ONE HAHA. IF YOU WATCH IT THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN. A DISCLAIMER I WILL PUT OUT THERE IS THAT THIS WAS FILMED SHORTLY AFTER MY ACCIDENT AND I COULDNT REALLY MOVE SO IT LOOK NOOB, ALSO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TOOK THE WORST TAKE OF ME LOL. WELL ITS UP AND FOR ALL TO SEE. IL POST IT BELOW. ANYWAYS SO QUITE A FEW OF MY FRIENDS HAVE MESSAGED ME SAYING OMG I SAW YOU ON TV AND ASKING IF THAT REALLY WAS ME. SOME OF THEM SAW ME ON TV AND SOME HEARD ME ON THE RADIO. I PERSONALLY HAVE YET TO SEE OR HEAR THE AD ON TV OR RADIO, BUT I HAVE SEEN THE ONLINE ONES. OH MAN!!! EVEN TODAY ALONE 3 DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS OF OURS CALLED ME AND SAID THEY SAW ME IN THE COMMERCIAL. WE OF COURSE TALKED ABOUT SOME WORK TOO HAHA. IT WAS FUN IN A WAY AND IM HAPPY I DID IT. LETS NOW HOPE IT WILL BRING OTHER THINGS OR MORE WORK LOL. ANYWAYS HERE IT IS FOR ALL OF YOU TO ENJOY AND TO GIVE IT MORE VIEWS AND LIKES LOL :)

THAT WAS ONE TYPE OF BEING RECOGNIZED. THE OTHER ONE I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT TODAY IS BEING RECOGNIZED. I KNOW I WROTE THE SAME THING, BUT THERES A DIFFERENCE IF YOU HEARD ME SAY IT OUT LOUD HAHA. THIS RECOGNIZED IS MORE OF THE ONE WHERE YOU ARE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR WORK, YOUR EFFORT, YOUR SKILL, BASICALLY SOMETHING YOU DO. IT DOESNT MATTER IF ITS AT WORK, OR AT HOME, OR ANYWHERE ELSE. I THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED FROM TIME TO TIME. SOMETIMES ITS FOR SOMETHING BIG BUT SOMETIMES IT CAN BE FOR THE SMALLEST THINGS. IT DOESNT MATTER IF ITS FOR WINNING THE BIGGEST CASE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, OR IF ITS FOR HOLDING A DOOR OPEN. BEING RECOGNIZED FOR IT IS JUST A WAY OF CONFIRMATION. SOME PEOPLE DO IT TO BE RECOGNIZED BUT SOME PEOPLE DO IT JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT TO. RECOGNITION CAN BE AS SIMPLE AS A THANK YOU OR GOOD JOB, IT DOESNT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A PARTY WITH PLAQUES AND AWARDS. RECOGNITION PLAYS SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MOTIVATION AND SELF ESTEEM AND HELPS IN BUILDING CHARACTER. THINK ABOUT IT, AFTER DOING SOMETHING THAT IS RECOGNIZED, THE ODDS ARE YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN. ITS LIKE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT. SINCE WE TALKING ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY THEN LETS JUST ADD IN MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT ESTEEM IS ALL ABOUT. THAT RECOGNITION MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES FROM TIME TO TIME. ITS JUST NATURAL. WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MOTIVATE OURSELVES TO CONTINUE. WE NEED THAT AFFIRMATION. IF WE DONT, THEN WHATS THE POINT OF CONTINUING ON? WE WOULD JUST NOT BOTHER WITH IT AT ALL AND WHATEVER HAPPENS JUST HAPPENS. LONG STORY SHORT... MAKE SURE YOU RECOGNIZE!!! 

REST OF LIFE? WELL KEEPING BUSY OF COURSE. MEETINGS ALL WEEK. OH WE DID HANG OUT WITH A DIFFERENT GROUP AND THAT WAS CHILL. THE FOOTBALL TEAM IS OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS IN THE QUARTER FINAL ROUND. ANYWAYS STARTING TO PASS OUT. SO... SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEEK.

SO I JUST SAW SOMETHING...

NO ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK... WHATEVER YOURE THINKING THATS NOT IT LOL. ANYWAYS I JUST SAW SOME INSPIRATIONAL PICTURE AND THE CAPTION WAS: "SELF DISCIPLINE BETTER PREDICTS SUCCESS THAN IQ." I THOUGHT ABOUT IT A TOTAL OF 2 SECONDS AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH IT. I TALKED ABOUT THIS HERE AND THERE BEFORE BUT ITS REALLY PERTINENT TO ME RIGHT NOW. IF YOU ARE REALLY SMART OR HAVE A HIGH IQ BUT YOU DONT DO ANYTHING WITH IT THEN YOURE NOT SUCCEEDING NOW ARE YOU? YOURE WASTING ALL THAT POTENTIAL. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU HAVE GREAT SELF DISCIPLINE THEN ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. YOUR SELF DISCIPLINE KEEPS YOU WORKING HARD, MAKES YOU STUDY MORE, CONTROLS HOW MUCH YOU PUT IN, AND PUSHES YOU FARTHER. THATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING SELF DISCIPLINE AND NOT HAVING IT. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PEOPLE WHO DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES A CHANGE AND THOSE WHO DONT OR JUST SAYS THEY WILL BUT NEVER DOES. GRANTED THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS THAT CAN STOP YOU FROM TAKING THAT FIRST STEP AND MOVING FORWARD TOWARDS WHAT YOU WANT, BUT IN THE END ITS ALL JUST EXCUSES. IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING JUST DO IT. ONES OWN SELF DISCIPLINE DECIDES WHERE YOU GO AND WHAT YOU DO. YOU CAN DO IT, BUT ITS ALL UP TO YOU TO SEE IF YOU HAVE THE CONTROL TO ACTUALLY GO AHEAD WITH IT. WHEN YOU FINALLY ACTUALLY HAVE THE SELF DISCIPLINE OR THE DETERMINATION TO DO SOMETHING OR KEEP ON DOING SOMETHING, THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN FAIL. EVEN IF YOU DO FAIL THE FIRST TIME, YOU DONT QUIT, YOU JUST KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU SUCCEED, AND THATS WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THOSE WHO DO AND CAN TO THOSE WHO DONT AND CANT. EVERYTHING IS ABOUT SELF DISCIPLINE, SELF CONTROL, DETERMINATION, AND MOTIVATION. IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING OR MAKE A CHANGE JUST DO IT ALREADY!!! THERES NO POINT IN PUTTING IT OFF OR SAYING YOU CANT, THERES ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE WORLD THAT CAN STOP YOU FROM ATTAINING WHAT YOU WANT, AND THATS YOU, THE PERSON LOOKING BACK IN THE MIRROR. LIKE RIGHT NOW, AFTER 4 YEARS IM STILL WRITING THIS BLOG, WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT, 4 YEARS STRAIGHT WITHOUT FAIL. EVEN ON VACATION I STILL FOUND A WAY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. ITS ALL ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU WANT IT. YOU HAVE TO FORCE YOURSELF TO DO IT. EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF TIME I RATHER JUST SIT THERE AND WATCH TV OR PLAY GAMES, I TELL MYSELF NO! I HAVE TO DO IT! TURN OFF THE TV AND GO WRITE THE POST!!! ITS ACTUALLY HARDER THAN YOU THINK SITTING HERE AND DOING THIS EVERY WEEK. YOU GUYS OUT THERE HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY TIMES I WAS DEBATING AND THINKING ABOUT STOPPING THIS OR SLOWING DOWN. YOU HEARD IT ALL BEFORE, BUT IN THE END YOU STILL SEE ME POSTING EVERY SINGLE WEEK. THIS ISNT ALL I DO YOU KNOW... BESIDES WORK FULL TIME YOU ALL KNOW IM WORKING TOWARDS SOMETHING AND THAT WAS WHAT THE 1 YEAR DEADLINE WAS FOR, FOR MYSELF. THAT WAS ME FORCING MYSELF, MOTIVATING MYSELF, DISCIPLINING MYSELF TO GET THAT DONE. NOW RECENTLY IM THINKING AND RESEARCHING ABOUT SETTING BACK UP A YOUTUBE CHANNEL, ALL THE MEANWHILE A NEW POST IS STILL BEING WRITTEN EVERY WEEK. THATS 4 THINGS THAT IM MAKING MYSELF DO, KEEPING THAT DISCIPLINE AND NOT LETTING ANYTHING MAKE ME WAIVER IN MY PURSUIT OF EVERYTHING. THERES LOTS OF WAYS TO MEASURE SUCCESS, AND EVERYONES DEFINITION OF SUCCESS IS DIFFERENT. THERES TOO MANY EXAMPLES I COULD GIVE AND THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO POSSIBLY COVER THEM ALL EITHER. SO IN WHATEVER YOUR QUEST IS, DONT FRET THAT YOU ARENT THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THE WORLD, BECAUSE HARD WORK DOES PAY OFF AND THE SELF DISCIPLINE YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE WILL ALLOW YOU TO SUCCEED IN THE FUTURE. THEY SAY IT TAKES ROUGHLY 10,000 HOURS TO BECOME A MASTER AT SOMETHING OR A SKILL. THATS ABOUT A YEAR AND A BIT STRAIGHT. IF ALL IT TAKES IS A YEAR THEN WHY NOT GO FOR IT. A YEAR IS REALLY SHORT AND A YEAR FROM NOW YOU WILL LOOK BACK AND REALIZE THAT IT WAS THE BEST DECISION OF YOUR LIFE, AND THAT DISCIPLINE WILL TAKE YOU ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.

AS FOR THE USUAL UPDATES...WORKS GETTING BUSY AGAIN DUE TO STUFF THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE AND ALL THE MEETINGS THAT I HAVE TO HAVE. SLOWLY GETTING BETTER FROM THE ACCIDENT, IM ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY!!! LOL. WORKING ON ALL THE THINGS IM WORKING ON. OH I DID GO WATCH THE BOY OVER THE WEEKEND AND IT WAS A BAD BAD MOVIE... LOL IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE SCARY BUT MEH... ONLY SMALL PARTS HERE AND THERE AND ENDING WAS HMM... WELL... THATS ANOTHER WEEK FOR YOU. SO WISH YOU ALL A GREAT WEEK.

CHANGE OF VENUE

SO YOU ALL KNOW HOW IVE BEEN THINKING REALLY HARD WHETHER OR NOT I AM GOING TO CONTINUE THIS BLOG... WELL... I THINK IVE FINALLY COME TO A CONCLUSION. IN ONE SENSE I REALLY DO WANT TO KEEP WRITING, THIS IS JUST AN OUTLET AND I REALLY JUST WRITE WHAT I WANT. I HAVE NO FILTER ON THIS AND THIS IS PURELY WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND AND MY OPINIONS. I HAVE TOPICS HERE AND THERE BUT THE ISSUE IS TRYING TO KEEP UP WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK. I AM LAZY... LETS JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT... LIKE THIS POST I AM LITERALLY WRITING IT ABOUT HALF AN HOUR BEFORE MIDNIGHT BECAUSE I WAS TOO BUSY WATCHING VIDEOS INSTEAD LOL. I THOUGHT ABOUT ONLY UPDATING ONCE IN A WHILE, PERHAPS ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS OR ONCE A MONTH OR WHENEVER I JUST FEEL LIKE IT, BUT THEN THAT JUST SORT OF DESTROYS THE POINT OF HAVING SOMETHING WEEKLY. SO IVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING THAT IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT FOR A WHILE. I WANT TO GET BACK ON YOUTUBE. YA... YOU HEARD RIGHT... BACK ON YOUTUBE, NOT GET ON YOUTUBE, BUT BACK ON YOUTUBE. FOR A BRIEF MOMENT IN TIME NNNNNNNNNN YEARS AGO I HAD A YOUTUBE PAGE. IF YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH IN CREEPING PERHAPS YOU WILL FIND IT LOL. I WANT TO START DOING VIDS AGAIN OF JUST RANDOM STUFF AND EVERYTHING. VIDS IN A WAY IS MUCH EASIER THAN TYPING AND FIGURING OUT WHAT I WANT TO WRITE AND ITS ALSO MUCH QUICKER FOR ME TO ACTUALLY SAY EVERYTHING... BUT THEN AGAIN ITS ALSO A LOT MORE WORK SINCE I HAVE TO FILM IT, EDIT IT, UPLOAD IT, AND DO A BUNCH MORE STUFF TO IT. I THINK I WILL HAVE TO DO A MIX OF YOUTUBE VIDS AND BLOG POSTS. WHEN IM ACTUALLY CREATIVE AND HAVE STUFF TO DO THEN IL VID IT AND WHEN IM LAZY AND WANT TO JUST GET SOMETHING OUT, IL JUST DO A QUICK POST. NOW HERE COMES THE PROBLEM... LIKE I JUST MENTIONED, I USE TO HAVE A YOUTUBE PAGE... THIS WAS BEFORE IT WAS BOUGHT OUT BY GOOGLE... AND I KNOW MY USERNAME... BUT I HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA WHAT MY PASSWORD IS... WORST OF ALL, ITS PART OF A RECOVER LEGACY THING AND THE EMAIL ADDRESS I USED BACK THEN IS EITHER NO LONGER IN SERVICE OR I ALSO FORGOT THE PASSWORD FOR THAT TOO... IM PRETTY SURE IT IS WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO... SO IVE BEEN LOOKING INTO IT FOR A WHILE AND BASICALLY THERE IS NO WAY TO GET IT BACK... IVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I JUST CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER THE PASSWORD OR THE EMAIL ADDRESS I USED. IVE TRIED EVERYTHING FROM THAT PERIOD OF TIME AND EVEN ONES FROM BEFORE AND AFTER. THAT USERNAME ISNT THE GREATEST ANYWAYS SOOOOOOO AS IT STANDS I AM LOOKING AT MAKING A NEW PAGE AND GOING TO HAVE ALL NEW CONTENT. AS FOR MY OLD PAGE... WELL... LETS JUST SAY THERE ARE A FEW VIDS UP THERE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO FORGET ABOUT OR HAVE REMOVED LOLOL. THOSE WILL BE UP FOREVER AND ONE DAY IL LOOK BACK AND LAUGH... ACTUALLY ALREADY DID LAUGH... BECAUSE ITS SORTA SAD... *SIGH... NOW I HAVE TO THINK IF IM ACTUALLY GOING TO GET NEW EQUIPMENT FOR THIS OR USE SOMETHING I CURRENTLY HAVE... OHHHHH THE DEBATE OF HAVING TO DECIDE THINGS... THE BLOG I CAN JUST KEEP ON DOING WHAT IM DOING AND ALL I NEED IS MY LAPTOP, BUT VIDS WELL... I HAVE A CAMERA THAT I CAN USE BUT LIGHTING AND MICROPHONES AND THE REST WELL... HMM... I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DONT ACTUALLY READ THIS BECAUSE IT IS JUST A BIG WALL OF CAPSLOCK AND A LOT OF PEOPLE CANT STAND IT... VIDS HOWEVER YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT. ALSO YOUTUBE I WOULD REACH MORE OF A GLOBAL AUDIENCE COMPARED TO THIS PAGE WHERE ITS LIMITED TO THOSE WHO ACTUALLY COME HERE AND OR SEARCH OF THIS. SO THE FINAL DECISION IS IM GOING TO ACTUALLY START DOING VIDS :) I REALLY DO FEEL THAT THE CONTENT THERE WILL BE OF A MUCH HIGHER QUALITY THAN MY WRITING HERE.

REST OF LIFE YOU ASK??? WELL STILL INJURED, STILL DEALING WITH EVERYTHING, BUT I HAVE GONE BACK TO WORK ON A PART TIME BASIS JUST CAUSE I CANNOT SIT STILL SINCE EVERYTHING HURTS. ALSO, BECAUSE I NEED MONEY... GOTTA PAY THE BILLS!!! OH OH OH SO I GOT A NEW CAR FINALLY :) GOT THE MONEY FROM THE WRITE OFF AND THAT BARELY COVERED THE CAR, INSURANCE, AND THE REST OF THAT STUFF SO YAY... CARS MUCH BETTER THAN MY OLD LOVE BUT THIS ONE IS QUITE FUN. SHE HAS ALL THE NICK NACKS AND GADGETS I LIKE AND OMG!!! SATELLITE RADIO IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST DISCOVERED IT AND ITS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA. CAN YOU ALL GUESS WHAT MY FIRST VID WILL BE ABOUT??? NO... SERIOUSLY CAN YOU GUESS... HAHA. BESIDES THAT IM STILL BUSY DOING MY OWN THING AND TRYING TO SET THINGS UP. WORK... WELL... LETS JUST SAY THAT I AM BEHIND... VERY BEHIND... TRYING TO CATCH UP IS HARD ESPECIALLY WHILE I STILL HAVE STUFF COMING IN, SO ITS JUST A CONSTANT STREAM OF WORKKKKKKKKKKKKK... JUST GOTTA KEEP ON GRINDING. BESIDES THAT ITS BEEN PRETTY QUIET SINCE IVE JUST BEEN AT HOME HEALING AND GOING TO PHYSIO... WELL... SLOW AND STEADY AS THEY SAY, AND UNTIL NEXT TIME :)
