Welcome!
Everyone can comment, you don't need a Wordpress account! Please comment, I want to know what you all think!I was thinking to myself and randomly a thought popped in to my head,
“No matter how much you have grown, there is always room to grow.”
I mean this every sense possible. I believe this quote is why we have people who don’t settle with just being the best, or being really good. I don’t know if I read this quote from somewhere and it randomly popped into my head. But I think this is a very important quote to realize. Then I thought of posting quotes that I live by, with small explanations. The quotes I live by are things are usually things that aren’t over used like, “Live everyday as your last.” They don’t hold meaning to me, because I feel like there wasn’t enough thought put in to that phrase. I’ll use another quote that I love:
“Don’t ever let somebody tell you… You can’t do something. Not even me.” – Chris Gardner (played by Will Smith) in Pursuit of Happyness
This quote speaks volumes to me. This quote was used in the movie just after the fact Chris Gardner told his son to stop playing basketball. The movie Pursuit of Happyness is an amazing movie, definitely one of Will Smith’s best movies. This quote has helped me further reach my potential. Everything that has hindered me, from my studdering to my fear of being outgoing on my own. I envision that part of me telling me “Don’t ever let somebody tell you… You can’t do something. Not even me.” It has helped me get through so much, and continues to everyday. I hope this helps you.
What do you think about these quotes? Or if you’ve used them, how have they affected you?

So as my legs recover from the A) lack of excerise and B) the intense pesudo-free running (don’t know what free running is?) which was more like just straight running, from the game that I played two days ago called Commando.
Commando is a simple game to play, here’s how it works. You need a good number of people to play — say about six people? More people, the better. So the game starts by someone being the Commando. The Commando then chooses a place he/she will stay, and four to five bases that could be anything (hub caps, the second handicap sign, or even zig-zagging through trees). The objective of the game is to go through or tag each base then tag the commando. So I’ll simulate one round so you, the readers, understand how it works.
Every is standing infront of the commando. The Commando closes his/her eyes and starts counting down from a random number. Within this time you’re supposed to tag as many bases as possible then hide. If the Commando didn’t give you a lot of time, then you just go hide, but it is whatever you want.
Then after time is up, the Commando open his/her eyes and looks around to see if they can spot anyone hiding, any one chosen has to start back from the beginning, and re-tag all the bases. Then the Commando closes their eyes and starts counting from another random number.
It is a great excuse to run around like an idiot and this game is best played at night. Well I’m off to further recover. Commando isn’t a game where you get hurt; but it can help keep you in shape.
So as of now I’ve seen the movie twice; and I have been very eager to do this review. If you haven’t seen the trailer for it yet; you live under a rock, but here it is nonetheless:
I’ve heard that the movie sucks; yet others who hail it the best Harry Potter film yet. I taken into account the book, and all points of view for this post. Eager to know what I rated it? read more…
So as of today I am employed at two places! Horray for money! I decided today that I’ll write a short post about both places. I’m really excited to start both! And don’t forget about my food blogging job along with everything! read more…
Hey everyone, I know I’m a little late but nonetheless here it is!
THE REVIEW OF TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN!
If you haven’t read my last post, I got a job as a food blogger, this was one of my submitions for the position.
UMBC’s accommodation to the Asian crowd.
“Konnichiwa”, or “Hello” in Japanese! Since the birth of Jow Jing this year, I know I’m one of the UMBCers who was excited to see sushi roll out in the college with probably one of the highest Asian ethnicity population. If you live in a hole and have no idea what sushi is, sushi is a Japanese cuisine that takes things like cucumber and raw fish or crab and rolls it into this combination of specially made sticky rice and seaweed. I know for a fact, I would eat sushi everyday if I could. They have many different kinds of sushi at Jow Jing, but my favorite is the eel roll (you don’t buy eel ‘sushi,’ you buy ‘rolls’ because they are made in rolls and then cut up). So obviously, I’m here to review Jow Jing’s eel roll.
$6.00 or so gets you a roll (12 pieces) of the eel sushi. Since sushi seems like its own art form of cuisine, the box in which the sushi comes in looks perfectly cut and placed with complementary ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi (it is this real spicy paste). But after digging in with your chopsticks, assuming you can use chopsticks, and taking the first bite, you’ll instantly taste the burst of flavor. The flavor mainly comes from the stuffing inside the roll, but the rice and seaweed do contribute to the taste of the roll as well. Comparing Jow Jing’s sushi to others that I’ve had, I would say it’s the same as what you can get anywhere. I’m sure it is nothing compared to going to Japan and trying it. If I had to rate it using a 5 star system, I would give it 3.5 stars. The sushi is above average but not enough to be a whole 4 stars.
With sushi, you can also add some small changes in the taste with soy sauce and wasabi. One thing that I’ve done in the past is taken the soy sauce and poured it over the pieces of sushi. Another thing that I’ve gotten my friends addicted to is mixing the soy sauce and wasabi, it makes for a real nice dipping sauce that one could fashion for almost any Japanese delicacy at home.
So for the school semester I’ll have the pleasure of blogging about food for my college, UMBC! The position doesn’t pay greatly, but it going to be a pretty fun experience. I don’t think the blog site is up yet, but the twitter is: www.twitter.com/umbceats.
This is the only logo I could find and I got it off of the twitter page.
I’ll make sure to keep you guys updated when a post of mine goes up on their site. In the next couple of days I’ll post up my submission entries! Well I gotta go guys, talk to you guys later!
Hey fellow readers, have ya missed me? So I figured it was about time to write an update about what has been going on in my life.
So about a week ago, I decided to embark on the journey to become a read more…
The main reason I haven’t been posting is because I don’t know what to post about. I’ve run out of ideas. I hope I get some soon. Or maybe I’ll start posting more personal posts? Who knows? What do you want to read about?
