111108: state farm, cheese steak and shopping

so it's november 11th. yesterday i was thinking about where i'd be in 11/11/11. it's only a short three years away. so i set some goals for myself, and hopefully i'll be able to meet them.

it's funny because i was with my cousin the other day and as we drove past the house he used to live in when he first came to the states, he said something like, "wow, that guy who used to live there had no idea what was going to happen to him." he's been through a lot of shit, mostly through his own bad habits and stuff. i guess that's true with everyone.

it reminds me of an article i read where older people are happier because they have lower expectations. but now's the time i guess to dream large and still be balanced enough to shrug off the setbacks that come your way.

i hate tuesdays because it's street cleaning day and i have to move my car out of my neighborhood. today was a little better because i went to the park to park and then rode my bike back. mom dropped me off to pick up my car when she left to work.

today i talked with some hr woman from state farm. she was really nice. tomorrow i'm going to fill out the online application, and if things don't go well in san diego, i might just start work here. but of course, that's if they hire me. she told me that it's been really slow...

oh, i went shopping today. it's an activity that i don't really enjoy, but hopefully that will change in the future. you see, i get all self-conscious because i don't really know much about clothes. so anyway, i got a pair of jeans, a sweater, two dress shirts and two ties for around 150. gotta love macy's veteran's day sale. i also spent a lot of time walking around the mall, but didn't really end up buying nething else.. save for a philly cheesesteak at great steak.

there was a funny incident when i was about to leave.

anyway, somewhat productive day. going to go play some more bass and then read some more korean and then knock out.
