Anything But Coffee

First columns are always hard to write, in my opinion, because as a writer you haven’t found your identity with your audience or the page.

Having said that, this first column will be for better or for worst a personal one.

There have been pivotal moments that have shaped the direction of my life. Today I ponder one of those moments.

3 months ago, a woman that I was deeply in love with and saw a bright future with broke up with me out of the blue, telling me she did not see a future with me. It devastated me to the core and three months later, still does.

At the time, I had a modest income working as a teacher in one of the most desirable locations in the world, San Diego, CA. Two weeks after the break up I received word that my job was going to be eliminated. Subsequently my best friend called me and invited me to start my life again.  I decided to take up my best friends offer and do a workshop in Las Vegas, NV.

At this workshop I discovered that I had given up on my life years before without even knowing it. Unfortunately for me I didn’t realize that the reason I had given up on my life was because of women. Thus I decided to give up my apt and a full paid scholarship to State in order to pursue a girl I met in the workshop. What love does to some men! I left everything behind and relocated to Las Vegas. Thinking this was my chance to start new and build a long steady relationship. Unfortunately I hadn’t learned my lesson and things didn’t work out.

Now I sit at a restaurant in Long Beach, Ca pondering the next step in my life. That pivotal moment at the start of this column.

If I take this path it might change me forever. You as the reader will discover my choice in subsequent columns and the beauty the world holds.

Stay tune!!

Keeping up with full time job, side projects and keeping this blog up to date can sometimes be a hard task. And although I’d like to have new posts at least every other day on here, sometimes its just not possible.

So with that Im glad to say that there will be a new column on Anything But Coffee featuring life lessons and experiences from select guest bloggers.

The first post will be coming soon so check back often.

Sometimes I just can’t understand what is going through a persons head when they decide to customize their car. At times it seems like some people just can’t decide on a central theme for their car or or just want to put as many accessories as they can to the point where its just ugly.

What gets more on my nerves is when people take aftermarket parts for a Nissan or Toyota and put it on a Honda or Mazda.

Sadly, a lot of people seem to just go overboard with fixing up their cars instead of taking the time to plan it out right and make it look nice.

Below is just an example I see often in my complex and decided I had to take some pictures of it.

Notice the ugly roof rack, non fitted GReddy lip spoiler, a 5 zigen intercooler which doesnt exist, cheap foglights which now has one covered by the repositioning of the license plate with the cool Mugen license plate holder and what really kills me is the damn Soshinoya stickers.
