Last week I was out with friends watching a movie in the park. After a group decision, we headed down to a dive bar to grab a beer and hang out for a bit after. At the movie in the park event we had three food trucks. One was Thai food and the other was sea food. I remember thinking these has to both be high risk food trucks. Never the less, my adventurous spirit seemed to push through any fears. I had Lobster tacos, Clam Chowder, and some Pho Thai noodles. It was all really good and I felt fine, my lucky day. Shortly after arriving to the dive bar, I started feeling queasy and walked outside for some fresh air. Within minutes, my vision went blurry and and my balance was gone. Wobbling over to a place to sit down my wonderful date so kindly helped me get away from people and take a minute in the rest room. Luckily after about five minutes or so there I was feeling much better. I was sure one of those food trucks did me in and blamed them the whole way home in our ride share. I found out later, […]
There is the one thing that will cost you more wasted time and effort than anything else on this entire planet. I can say “you” because this effects everyone from the jungles of Peru to the deserts of China to the suburbs of Irvine. This is simply, living in the past. I realize it’s a vague relevant statement, but there are some concrete ways this is effecting you right now. You can’t compare this one moment with the decades in your past.

Hell, maybe you made hundreds of mistakes like me. That sucks, and it can haunt […]
If you knew and it’s probably better if you don’t considering my compulsive perfection tendencies. I like things in order. Color coded, symmetric, feng shui dialed in perfection. Of course I would never expect someone to be like this and I feel bad for people sharing my house that have to deal with it. I can say though, being this dialed in all the time frees up a lot of time and effort that would be wasted on what if I changed this or procrastinating doing that. So my empathetic brain and compulsive organizing history came up some realistic tips to de-clutter for all. This means more peace of mind and a calmer way of life around the house. Fold things neatly. For this to work you need a lot of the same stuff. A bunch of shirts and pants and underwear. Otherwise a couple items folded won’t have the fancy effect I’m trying to ensue. See opening a drawer with everything folded neatly looks great and feels like a million bucks. This includes your undies. Do it, trust me. Only Keep Stuff That Makes you Truly happy. There is a lot of little tools people suggest to find what […]
