So relative to one of my previous posts, I wrote about "Types of Working People" and I've started my lil blob on my views and perspective on the types of working people and today will be part one of the continuing little series I have about this. I'll finish up the post and probably be putting it up later on tonight. 

On another note...I caught my dad using my shaving blade/razor...Ugh...so not sanitary. 

Just a random blob on my thoughts that I have right now.

Recently I just watched a movie called "Finding Forrester". It's pretty legit.

Cliff Notes: It's about a minority teenager that discovers his writing ability through the help of a famous author. It helps him to discover his potential and give him direction in life as his current life at his current public school leaves him clueless. He is beyond many of the other students capabilities academic wise and he plays it down by making his grades just a "C" average but yet, his test scores are way above the standard. Very interesting because not only is he very academically prone, but he is athletically gifted also. A movie that is a must watch if your looking for inspiration somewhat.

Anyhow, these type of movies are the types of movies that I find motivational.

I wonder at times why do we keep track of our thoughts? Why do people find writing down their thoughts helps to cope with their emotions?

There are numerous amounts of things in the world that people are good at. For example,

- Reading

- Writing

- Math

- Science

- Literature

- Reasoning

- Athletics

- Physical Activities

The list goes on. But behind all of everyone's talents in the world, these are the main attributes that I feel supports this list. One's level of mental concentration can be what makes or breaks the type of attribute that they are most talented that can go on to develop the working type of person that they are and the talent they are good at that can support/develop their career.

Basically, if you can sit down and concentrate without distractions you would most likely be good at an analytical type of job that doesn't require much physical activity and can crunch numbers easily and put words together extremely easy as if it were a 6th sense to them. And then on the other hand, there are those that are just extraordinarily talented on their physical attributes and can go on to be a famous athlete of some sort, a precise surgeon, something that requires good use with your hands like welding possibly also. It all comes down to ones mental focus on what they want to do in life.

Me, for some reason I've always struggled with this my entire life. While some can easily absorb information in a classroom and pick things up with their peripherals, I struggle with this type of focus to stay focused on a goal. When it comes down to sitting down and doing work whether it be working problems out or reading a textbook, I always find ways to want to escape and just leave their and do other things that seem to be more useful such as fixing something. Making something new, or reading about some tech stuff. My mental focus doesn't lie in academics but yet, I strive to pursue a lifestyle in that area. I'm talented in doing other things such as mechanical aspects, fixing things. I'm one of those people that like to get down and dirty and don't mind getting my hands dirty. But I don't develop those talents because I don't have the opportunity to do so. I guess you can say, I'm born to be a soldier possibly? There's a lot of thoughts that I put into this stuff and I've researched pretty thoroughly on it but have never put it on paper or writing before. Going to do a series on maybe how people are developed into choosing what they are doing.

Contradicting in part on myself eh?

On another note. I've been telling myself I need to make my own website and start designing things again.

This starts NAOWS!!!!

Click here if you feel like viewing it sometime in the future or now. gotten it up and started as the most basic one now.

So usually, I get to school and hit the weights at 6am. I got out today to see a bunch of people going to the natatorium at the rec. There was a swim meet and a ton of people! (A Lot of hot chicks too )

Anyhow, It reminded me of back then the adrenaline rush of having competition amidst you. All the fun environment of traveling to different schools to compete as a TEAM and celebrate as a TEAM for a well deserved victory or the atmosphere of it all! 

The was the crowds as the time progressed throughout the day to about 10:30am people from all over texas and other states. FYI, University of Houston has the largest natatorium in the US. (Maybe just university wise. Might have to confirm my facts lol) 

This is legit. They even have cross trainers giving people massages to keep their muscles from tightening up and everything. 

Makes me feel proud to be part of the school. How I wish I could be a part of some athletic competition or team. Anyhow, One day. I'll make my debut in tennis. It will come.

Just had a conversation with one of my friends. Although we don't share the same views, all I have to say is that my new ways of thinking is clashing with theirs.

Right now, I'm aiming for higher things. I feel that in order to get high up the ladder, you have to aim for higher goals.

I may have my head up my ass. But definitely, having higher education makes me feel much more accomplished even though I haven't gotten my degree yet. The fact that I'm actually moving forward right now as compared to before makes me feel so much better about myself in general. 

Attending UH is definitely one of those contributive factors because there are so many resources at my disposal and lets face it. I'm not gettin any younger. Everyone is my competition in general.

So lets step it up. GO COOGS!

So my buddy got a new car.

And I was nice enough to give him a nice new decal

And gave my sister one at the same time for her dirty ass room. Don't know how women can live like that.

It's just like this Meme I found online. Except she has a messy ass room and car, While I have a clean room, clean car...Fail.

Get ready for some philosophical brain bang cause it's bout to get hot like the cat daddy up in here.

So allocation of resources. This is the topic I decided to focus on today because I feel as if life is all about the allocation of resources. To be definite, the allocation of resources is the ability to utilize your resources in a manner that is useful at the maximum potential. You are able to use them at times necessary, and be able to organize your in a sense that you use your time productively without wasting it hence, the allocation of your resources which could be time, money, brains, physical assets, or non-material assets. These things, are all distributed throughout ones daily lifestyle and if we don't equally distribute them or be organized on when to use or not use them for certain things, life will not be as successful as it can be.

Leading to part 2 of this blog entry. 

Life must be de-fragmented every once in a while like the process that runs in a computer. Back then when windows 95 used to be available and all the way up to about windows XP, they had this useful thing in the system tools folder called Defragment. But nowadays on windows vista/up it automatically runs in the background at a set time or whatnot without telling you. Basically, what this does is that it takes fragmented parts of a hard drive (possibly deleted segments and things that empty but not in a efficient space to be used) physically organizing the contents of the mass storage device used to store files into the smallest number of contiguous regions (fragments). Because traditional hard drives seek information off a magnetized platter, all these fragmented segments are spread throughout the platter. By taking fragmented parts and compressing them and rearranging them into an order that the magnetized head doesn't have to go from part to part faster to get to a specific empty sector the hard drive is able to run faster without having to move all across the platter just to write to empty blocks spread out. Instead, the process of de-fragmentation will allocate the resources so that it will run more efficiently. 

Hence reaching the climax of this entry.

It is much like life in general. If we aren't able to take the pieces of our life that are fragmented and rearrange it so that our lives would work more efficiently, then we would be less successful than we could be. It's all about how we allocate our resources.

The reason I wrote this entry is because today, I just found out I failed a test. Crushed me like crazy. I just walked out the class room and I was pissed off. Why? I spent ALL semester studying like hell for this. I'm taking 12 hours and my other 3 classes are generally not too hard at all. Calculus 1 is this particular class. Before anyone else that flames me and says that it's not that hard, I agree. It's not. But I haven't touched math in almost 2 years. 

EVERY day, i studied my ass off. I spend about 3 1/2 to 5 hours in CASA tutoring every day M-F. I would be the last one to leave almost. I had already failed my 1st test because I was unprepared for it because it was all on pre-cal shit that I couldn't get together on time. Going into the test, i felt confident as hell. After I got it back, i got a 60 on it. All my hard work wasted. I'm going to have to end up dropping the class so I don't fuck up my GPA which will be wasting time, money, resources. Most of all, time. I'm 24 already and all my peers area already graduated working, making money, and everyone else is passing me up. No one has any idea how crushing this feels when your still lingering on.

So I just walked out that class room. It just led to me that fuck it. Allocate your resources and spend more time on these other classes your taking and get an A in those instead. I talked to the TA and professor later on telling them and the know that I've been going everyday to tutoring. I get on campus around 6 everyday, don't leave until 7 spending all my time at tutoring.

So now, gonna focus on all my other classes out instead and use my time more efficiently in these places. This type representation of my feeling in allocation is how I wanted to  express it out in this entry I guess.

Cat Daddy out.

I feel like I'm being trolled all the time by the God of Academics or something. He's screaming "Trololol study as hard as you can and get all the tutoring you can but you will still fail!"

And on top of that. for the 2nd time, I missed an economics quiz because I misread the date. Can't stop thinking about it. Fail....

So a couple of months ago, a place called "Cafe Parisan Bakery" opened up on bellaire/bwy 8. It's a vietnamese bakery/coffe shop and MAN. They've got some badass Cafe Su Dua.

Move over Lee's Sandwiches. There's a new coffee king in town

On another note. Damn. This cute ass girl made me feel stupid today lol. I asked her for help on a problem and when she was explaining it to me, I still didn't understand jack shiet lol.

Note to self. Study harder and impress this girl by not looking like a dumbass.

When you do a lot of DIY stuff, it gets expensive sometimes. The question is, whether to pursue the challenge? Or to chicken out...

The challenge is a car AC system. Should I buy the tool and attempt to tackle this myself? Or just pay someone else to do it...
