Disorder #1
Unnecessary Burdens - "Today's headlines takes precedence over yesterday's." This is the ideal world everyone wants to live in. For many times, I want to tell myself Today is a brand new day, but a lot of horrible stuff from yesterday just spills over today. It's a little annoying that I can't (1) just loosen up and let go of my burdens. (*) I hate the rigidity of my ideas. I have developed a complex relationship with material stuff. Yesterday's news in my closet, a storehouse for ideas I don't want to lose. But it can be a little stifling as it takes up space...
Disorder #2
Negativity - if it's not chemical, it's psychological. Got to get those neurons firing properly. Positive signals ONLY. If I hear a harmful thought - I'm gonna kill it. Denounce it, dethrone it, squash it like a pest.
Disorder #3
Anger - I must be at peace with myself and disallow my emotions to take control. The logical person reigns.
* * *
I have been pondering incessantly about my destiny, but it has not grown obsessive. I've been letting it go - be it the leisurely cycle, the personal 2.4 time trial, the resume-editing, and the thoughts over a job advert.
Well, I've applied for some jobs thus far. And I really gonna get one to prove to myself that I can. (Hmm. Maybe I should just tell myself I can.) Then I should make time for other things I want to do. No wait. There's the income factor. I can't ask for sponsorship for Kayaking course, Martial arts course, etc.. I need to stop by the "Time for $$$ Trap" for some quick bucks.. Cash. I need the cash.
And I really need to make time to read my books, and learn some skills.

Fleet Foxes Mykonos
I fully endorse this band bcos it rocks.
Lyrics for Mykonos (as interpreted by chutzpah, retrieved fr http://songmeanings.net)
The door slammed loud and rose up a cloud of dust on us
Footsteps follow, down through the hollow sound, torn up
And you will go to Mykonos
With a vision of a gentle coast
And a sun to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made
How did any holes in the snow tipped pines, I find
Hatching from the seed of your thin mind, all night?
And you will go to Mykonos
With a vision of a gentle coast
And a sun to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made
Brother you don't need to turn me away
I was waiting down at the ancient gate
You go
Wherever you go today
You go today
I remember how they took you down
As the winter turned the meadow brown
You go
Wherever you go today
You go today
When I walking brother don't you forget
It ain't often you'll ever find a friend
You go
Wherever you go today
You go today

How has NS changed you?
period of serving NS:
That a person can produce too many thoughts in a day. and there must be a filter to remove toxic thoughts from the consciousness.
- Negativity is detrimental to health
- one must be equipped with the correct attitude/mindset.
- one must set realistic goals and work towards one goal at a time.
That hardware can be extremely valuable but one must reduce himself to zero hardware to cope with times of crisis.
Mr Rahmat of TPY Cash Converters has a tough life as a store manager. Age over 50 plus, yet he has to meet the demands of 1000 over customers each weekend. I met him one Saturday afternoon when I bought a 29" Philips TV for the Guardhouse. In a long-sleeved shirt and tie, he had to carry a TV and several other bulky items that customers ordered, and smile when interacting w/ customers.
- Be humble in life, for everyone has his own share of challenges to face, and
- we should look after each other when possible.

Being Different.
Hm. Maybe I'm destined to be a Hermit. But being alone for the weekend don't seem so bad as I thought. I'm not smiling to myself half-the-time, but my burdens have got lighter, bcos I'm not impulsively running outdoors cos I feel like it. No longer running outside to meet friends. Now I do things differently, I see things differently! I'm eradicating all my false and unrealistic assumptions. If I just allocate a given amount of time alone, and for friends, I may begin to see the light after all. :P

Avocadoes RULE DA WORLD!
Well-written article:
"The Little Green Avocado Book also states that an acre of avocado trees can yield more food than an acre of any other tree crop. Imagine the ecological implications--a perfectly healthful “meaty” food which requires 1/200th or less of the acreage needed by the cattle industry for a comparable yield in pounds, posing no pollution problems--and no carnage! Worried about mad cow disease?--eat raw avocados, seeds and nuts and stay sane and mentally keen! "
