Immediately after finishing my previous post I put on my Oculus VR, opened up the meditation app and found myself sitting in a grass field. My favorite meditation practice is Zen, where the goal is to have a clear mind like the sky and to just ‘be.’ Thoughts are like white clouds that arrive out…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.24.19 – Second Post
Journal Entry – 2.24.2019
It is Sunday February 24th at 5:52 AM. It looks like I’m back to my old routine of naturally waking up very early. I think the mostly has to do with getting back into my exercise routine which promotes a very restful sleep. I still haven’t started the morning gym routine again but I’m back…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.24.2019
Journal Entry – 2.22.2019
It is 5:15 AM on Friday February 22nd, 2019. This morning is the first time I’ve woken up very early but also decided to get up in 2019.

Shoes of the 90s
I had a lunch appointment at BJs Bar and Grill at Tanforan the other day. I had originally planned on going early to get a massage beforehand but they were busy so I had an extra 30 minutes to kill. I walked around the mall and dropped into the Foot Locker and saw a pair…… Continue reading Shoes of the 90s
The Beginning of 2019
Motto for 2019: Just be. “To study the self is to forget the self” – Dogen 道元禅師 As I wrapped up my post for this morning (below) I wanted to get my motto and saying in this post and up top so I’m easily reminded.
