Favorite Sound & Smell

My second most favorite sound is the steady pat pat pat of rain drops crashing into the earth. The rain can't be too heavy or too light, it has to be just right, and it must maintain consistency. My favorite sound is nothing. Late at night when you go outside and there are no cars, no people, nothing man-made running and all you hear is the sound of nothing. Time stops for me for whatever reason when I hear nothing and I love it.  Right now there's not a sound going on outside my apartment and it's music to my ears. My favorite smell is the aroma of morning. It reminds me of getting up and waiting for the school bus in my elementary school days. There is also just something about the morning smell that smells so good. There is probably a scientific answer as to what it is, but I'm not sure of what it is. It's unfortunate that I am not a morning person.

Living Alone

Image
 Every Sunday my roommate and I have a tradition of playing video games together in the evening. Yesterday was the last time that I played video games with my roommate. Of course, we will definitely play video games together in the future, but it won't be as roommates. He has had a dream of living on his own since he was in high school and now, he thinks he has the ability to do so. I wish him well, even though I'm not entirely sure how smart of an idea that is. I say this as I know exactly what his pay is since I am the financial manager at the company he works for. No matter though, if he wants to try it then I wish him well. I'm also kind of excited to start living on my own. Having a roommate means there are a lot of considerations you need to pay attention to in order to keep harmony with your roommate. Now that I will be living alone, I only need to worry about myself. Having lived by myself before, it's very nice.  I have this thing where I really just like to ta...

Future Business Owner

Lately my wrists have been in bad shape so I haven't been posting as much. I'm trying to lessen my typing. Covid 19 is still going as strong as ever in America so things are still locked down although we can eat at restaurants if the restaurants are at 50% capacity. I got a new camera, the Sony A7R iii. I really like it, it takes much better pictures in low light and it's mirrorless. I also started looking up YouTube videos on how to learn new things. I am thinking of trying to learn how to draw, sing, and maybe learn popping. The last one is a suggestion from my friend so I thought I might give it a try.  My boss suggested he wanted to be done with his company in about 10 years. He asked if I would be interested in buying it from him along with a few other people who have been with the company for a while. I'm definitely interested as having my own business has been my dream for forever, even if I don't end up starting it myself, which I might not at this rate.  It...

In high school you'd always get these surveys on the internet and I always hated doing them, but now it seems fun.  It's a good way to get to know yourself.  Sometimes I feel like I don't know myself very well, so I'm giving this a try.

Quarantine Video

My work wants us to submit a video showing what we're doing during quarantine.  Here's my video 😁  Dustin's video I want the pandemic to end, I want to do some traveling and I miss eating out at restaurants.  Even though I only went by myself, I liked finding new places.  I wonder what places will survive all of this.  Most of the ones I get take out from have said their numbers are down.  Please pull through!  I'll get more take out from you! I got some extra lenses that are arriving in about a week.  They won't make me a better photographer but I'm quite excited to try them out.  I have too many lenses as it is that I don't really know how to use haha.  I'm also learning palm reading so that should be fun.  I wonder what my life and love line says...

Failed Date

I had a date today with a girl named Bonnie.  As usual I got friend zoned afterwards, but it didn't bother me as much as it has in the past, probably because I fully expected it.  In fact I'm more bothered by how little it bothers me.  Maybe I've just dropped all expectations that anyone will ever see me as a romantic partner.  Maybe I'm just dead inside, which honestly would be great.  I guess the worst part is that it starts out great conversation wise.  We chat up a storm.  She's excited to meet me.  Then we meet for the date and that kills it.  I get ghosted or friend zoned.  Am I really such a terrible person to date?  And yes, I went on a date during a pandemic because for me a shot at love is worth potentially dying for right now.  I'm serious.  Ah freaking A, my loneliness is driving me insane. When I was really young I used to think the female voice was so heavenly sounding that I believed every woman could sing...

Random Musings

Parasite is a great movie.  I'm really glad Korean cinema is starting to gain traction in America.  They make a lot of great movies over there and it's been Asia's secret that America is just now starting to discover. I used to go to the movie theater alone.  I don't have a lot of friends and the ones I do have are often busy, so I go by myself.  Lately I can't do that.  It feels weird not being able to go places even though I didn't get out much.  I wonder how long it'll last.  I like going out to see movies.  It's overly expensive but the atmosphere and big screen is what you're paying for.  I hope one day I can bring my girlfriend. What is your most attractive feature?  I was watching a movie that asked that and I'm not sure about mine.  Never having a real relationship or girls that were really interested in me, I've never had the chance to find out.  I think it might be my sense of humor, but I don't know.  Maybe ...
