[Becoming a Modern Day Samurai]

For the past couple of weeks I had been following a man named Tu Lam. He is a retired Green Beret, Delta Special Forces, and an overall badass. He calls himself a Ronin-a masterless warrior. He calls himself this because he came to this realization after medically retiring from the army.

To make a long story short, he felt culture shock from leaving his support group, the army special forces, and…

Vagabonding: The Art of Traveling Alone

Now, the title that I have chosen for this specific post is ambitious, or as I like to call it… undeserving. A better resource would be a book called, Vagabond, by Ralph Potts, but if you’re still here, then I would be glad to share what I have learned.

To this date, I have only been on 2 trips outside of the U.S. by myself. Once in Thailand, and once in Japan. I am currently Vagabonding in…

Women are no longer willing to be good wives, and Husbands no longer have permission to be good husbands.

Modern Relationships

Today, the relationship revolves around the individual. Now up to a certain agree it has always been like this, but it seems as though modern times has shifted the pendulum more so in the direction of the individual.

When it comes to relationships we all have idiosyncratic tastes, meaning we all have features that we are looking for in a potential life partner, but as time…

How I have made Big Decisions in my Life

I met someone that had the job that I want to go into right now, although I did not know it at the time. When I met him, he asked me why I wanted to do it. As I kept giving him my answers, none of them satisfied what he was looking for, and so he told me that I needed to find exactly why.

Well, I gave that question some more thought, and I came up with a couple of good answers, but the only…

Giving up on a Friend

Not too long ago, I had a phone call with a friend of mine, where I had to rebuke him. This was a friend that I have been trying to help for quite a long time, almost half a decade, and I knew him for a lot longer. And I believe that it is only okay to rebuke someone when you have exhausted the amount of attempts that I have.

Although I forget the exact reason that I rebuked him, because it was…

"I'm not making an impact, should I leave?"

“I’m not making an impact, should I leave?”

As I talked about in my last post, the dissolution of traditional groups that were just small enough for people to feel like a community, and just large enough for people to feel as though they have purpose and can have an impact, these institutions being religious groups, political groups, and etc, today we find ourselves searching for a new place to belong. A place that fit all those…

Society's Search for a Group to Belong to

Society’s Search for a Group to Belong to

It seems that it is inescapable that within society, we wish to divide amongst ourselves and form groups of like-minded individuals. Traditionally, those groups were the states that we came from, the religions that we shared, but today, it seems as though those traditional ideas that allowed us to unite have been rejected.

Today, Millennials are anti-religion(unless its muslim), anti-patriotic,…

Waking up at the Hospital

Now, I apologize in advance for the title, because it is a clickbait one. I am fine. My grandfather was in the hospital, and I have been visiting him for the past 2 days, and these are some of the thoughts that I had while there, and leaving there.

There is a saying that I remember reading online somewhere,

“A hospital has seen more honest prayers than a church”.

I love my grandfather. To me, he…

Anyone Can be Beautiful

It’s true.

Anyone can be beautiful, but not everyone is. After a workout session with a friend, we were sitting in a dry sauna room, and he was talking about this girl that was saying something like, “Fat people are beautiful”.

Without getting into too much detail, basically, her argument was that everyone is beautiful, and that you just need to have the right perspective. She’s right, but that…

A Dedication to James Suh

As I have gotten more and more accepting of the fact that I will be joining the military, I have immersed myself more and more into the history, and the brave men and women that had given their lives to protect those that they did not know, and even those that are ungrateful.

One life that stuck out was the life of James Suh(pictured above). He was a Navy Seal that served in Afghanistan during…

Showing off My Body

One of the best feelings in the world for me is when I meet up with an old friend and they are surprised by how much I have improved from the last time I met them, or how they are surprised by my work effort and discipline. Honestly, that reaction is enough to keep me going.

Is it showboating? Am I showing off? Am I being arrogant?

Absolutely.

And absolutely not.

I am never the one to just tell…

To Preoccupy One's Self

To Preoccupy One’s Self

I have found myself with the distinct opportunity to learn whatever I want for the next couple of months. I am at a lost, because of how much freedom I have. I try to fill my days, but I still feel pretty bored.

I am using this blog to bring some clarity into what I can do about my situation.

I would like to learn another language. Since it takes on average about 3 months for me to learn a…

Being a Lone Wolf: The Crazy Blessings of my Childhood

First off Happy New Years, Let’s thank our veterans, service members, family members, and everyone else that has helped us on this journey called life.

For the longest time, I never saw myself as a leader. I tried several times throughout my youth, where I tried to take charge, and lead my different group of friends. However, as time passed, and the failures mounted on me, I came to a…

My Battle with Phone Addiction

After rewatching a Simon Sinek video, I realized that I had a n addiction to my smart phone. Like a drug addict, I felt compelled to go to my drug of choice, my phone. And for the last week, I have been actively combating my urges, and have been fairly successful so far. Here are a couple of things that I have been doing to fight my addiction.

Leave my phone in the car when I am about to meet…

Finding Sympathy for the Weak

There has been one aspect of being tough that has been hard for me to cope with– finding sympathy for weak people. The tougher I got, the less toughness I saw in other people. And I reached a peak where it felt like I was the only one to be at where I was. And I was so desperate to not lose the “power” that I had gained, that whenever I saw other weak people, I was disgusted and afraid that…

Women’s Hypergamy, Sexual Market Place Value, and hitting the Wall

There was a published UCLA study conducted with a study group of 27,600 heterosexual people, and out of that study came an answer to a simple question, “Beauty or Financial stability?”. And as many of you might know, the majority of men chose beauty, where the majority of women chose financial stability. [all links are down below]

Men value attraction over stability, whereas women value…
