Some days I want to write and some days I want to shoot photos.  I am pretty much all over the place and really have been working on simplifying my life.  It’s pretty hard for me to lock down a steady writing schedule for my blog via I am involved in a great deal of production and learning.  I am going to seminars, classes and doing some internship to advance my knowledge in Psychology, Social Issues as well as going for my Masters within Media Arts, Film-making and Business Administration.  It’s quite a hard task to balance it all but I am in love with learning and a challenge.  I am the kind of guy that don’t like excuses, I am pretty understanding, but I do aim to keep my word no matter what.  I am very passionate about my blog it‘s my gateway to everyone.

Very Important:

I truly appreciate everyone who has passed by my blog and keeping up with me and leaving comments.   I do read them all, but don’t get to respond to all of them in which I should try my very best to do.   Also a bid an Open Welcome to all my new followers and fellow bloggers, I see you.  🙂  I don’t know how to really thank everyone, but to offer great content and offer my help to those who need it.  Thank you for subscribing my following my blog.  I know it’s a bit odd of a place with random postings, but overall it’s my personal blog and my way to connect with others such as myself on a personal level.  I like to keep things clean and down to earth.

Recipes:

I decided to try a new thing in which I write solutions for problems, issues we have as people and much others.  It’s something I picked up along my independent research on the web.  My Recipes are more like quick tips, advice, quotes, tidbits, in which I have researched and created myself that I  find very helpful.  I also got these new productivity line of products I am developing exclusively for my blog and website.  I just want to help others and see them reach to their full potential to help themselves as well as others.  So those shall be coming your way very soon.

Contests & Giveaways:

I have tested this out before and never got to do it again via I got pretty busy, but I am bringing it into play in the best season of the year for giving away gifts, Christmas.  So please believe someone will be getting some goodies and great gifts this Christmas via my blog and facebook page.  I am going to the post office to pick up some flat-rate shipping boxes, envelopes and stamps to get these gifts to who ever wins.  I shall be doing a giveaway and a contest every month.  I am trying to aim for 2 per month.  So get ready for fun.

Curator & Creator:

I live to be creative.  I which I love to meet others who are creative and passionate about what they do.  I have started a series in which is called “Subscriber Interview” in which I interview subscribers to my blog I find interesting and have awesome blogs.  I have been feeling so sad that I didn’t get to continue the series, but I was using that format as a test for something greater in which I am ready to bring to the world very soon called “The Raw Interview“.  I like to ask other interesting questions and bring a bit of fun to interviews instead of just asking boring repetitive questions.  My goal is to extract unique qualities, facts, background from others and introduce them to others in the world.  I find it exciting when you can related to others and learn someone’s story.  I guess that’s why I enjoy reading autobiographies as well writing an autobiography myself.  I like to discover, and share interesting things by others you might not know exist.

Health, Diet & Fitness:

I having a growing love for healthy living and fitness, as well I know it’s one of the many issues people have in our society.  I want to educate others on simple things they can do to live a long and healthy life.  I have a few “Recipes” I will introduce to you, as well create few quick tips videos to watch in order as show and tell to get you up and active instead of just reading.

My Photography:

I have working on my film work than photography in which at the beginning of the year I vow to quit.  I found a new love for photography in which I been really trying to break into a new audience with abstract, art, travel and fashion photography.  I will never put my camera down, for it’s like my best friend in the world.  So watch out for those coming your way.  Most of photography will be on photography page as well as a blog I created dedicated to my film work and photos called: This Is My New York City.

Now I do know that was a mouthful and hope you bear with me as I stitch together an awesome writing schedule and the most awesome blog for everyone to be entertained, educated and inspired.  So don’t be shy and share my name and blog with friends as well as introduce me to others you find awesome and interesting, I love hear from everyone and be friends.  It’s all about stick together, supporting and being a community.  Just know I am a ninja of the web, and I get around in stealth, so I see you all.  Weird huh? 🙂

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving and looking forward to an awesome Christmas.  Be safe and stay blessed.

Thanks for reading

Happy Thanksgiving and NO THANK YOU

Happy Thanksgiving to all as it’s a time of the year you can enjoy some food, enjoy being around family as well take a load off from a long year of work, (if you were working all year :).)  But either way it’s the time year to be thankful for your blessings and to be able to be alive and see yourself happy as well as others.  The only thing I can’t be too thankful each year is the sales we buy into each year in which land us in either debt or fat tummies, and no game plan against it.

 

We buy things just because it’s on sale, we eat more than we need just because there is more food, and for that, I say No Thank You.

 

I hope you all enjoy the holiday season, and I guess no matter what I say, getting you systems gassed up for the Black Friday sales, but enjoy and be safe and healthy out there.

 

Thanks for reading

I Opt Out of Valentine’s Day

Rik2 Comments

broken heartWhat can I say, it’s 2012 and I don’t feel and see the need to follow commercially driven holidays or events.  Just as how I don’t celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving like before based on how it plays in society to pretty much sell everyone on items or wants in life, I have decided to add Valentine’s Day this year to the list.  I am more focused on other things than just what everyone else is doing.  I guess you can call me anti-commercialized.  I don’t like to be sold or told what to do or what to buy on any given holiday or whatsoever.  I need we sometimes need help on finding great gifts for others, but at the same time, people forget to be more personal and lack effort in what they do.  Almost everything in these holidays are like a sales pitch and manipulation to tell us what we should be doing or buying instead of us creating our own sense of what we want to do.

Though I might still practice one or two things for Valentine’s day in absolute private, I am definitely crossing it celebration off my list.  What do you think?  Are you excited each year for Valentine’s Day?

I have went year after year enjoying Valentine’s day without a problem, and really don’t see a difference in the years.  Some years I have a Valentine, others I don’t based on non relationships or not seeking a love interest, but I usually take that day to treat myself to something good and show myself some love that I have been lacking or as an appreciation for all the great things I did for others without asking for anything in return.

I feel one day doesn’t validate what you can do everyday of the year or whenever you feel like to do it.  I live a life of whatever I feel like doing I just go and do it, a life of no rules or limits.  So this year I am definitely making a stand and opting out of Valentine’s Day.  To many people it doesn’t really matter what I do, and I feel that is how it is supposed to be.

Too many people are too easily convinced they should or must follow trends, but I made it one of my personal goals to break away from the matrix and do what I feel is more important to me and closely affects me.  We as a society tend to watch what everyone is doing and be either jealous, envy or try to fit in instead of doing what we need to for ourselves.

Here are 5 things people don’t focus on in their own lives that are important:

1. Save money (Plan for the right item, reason and future)
2. Live a healthy lifestyle (Relationships, family, physically, and mentally)
3. Invest in  themselves (get educated, get out debt, be insured, be employed, own your property, have a peace of mind, etc.)
4.  Create and focus on their own interests (Help make their lives much happier)
5. Be themselves and live life to fullest (Be the real you, and live it the way you want to, without thinking of what other’s may think)

Some of things I have listed may not apply to everyone, but take a while and think about yourself and give yourself an evaluation.  What are you current main interests in life?  What have you been focused on lately, and are you aggressively trying to achieve what you need to in life?

I am planning on saving my money and efforts for something much bigger and special.  I love and wish everyone the best for Valentine’s Day and their hopes for a one day of the year feeling loved, but love and romance is a daily thing we can all do and do unselfishly as we please.

Let me know what you think?  Do you think or give in to what others are doing instead of doing things your way and having the option to participate or not by will?  What are your plans or thoughts of things to do on Valentine’s Day.
