heh, if we kick it in thai land I will show you ways to say fuck the fear, and try to live life on the edge of your comfort zone. thats been my life motto my whole life

i was always shy, like.. more than normal, up till age 22 or so. 2 years later im pretty much a social butterfly as gay as that sounds. i love girls, i love interacting with people and I have actually gone to the bar sober (gasp) just to test myself and see if i can have a fun time. i Can, granted i do liek drinking too, but.. just push yourself little by little every day and you’ll start to see big improvements. whether thats asking a girl out, or if thats too much just say hi to every person you walk by. the more you feel stupid, the more you know what you’re doing is working. when you feel that it’s ‘not you’, thats your old self telling you that which is afraid of change. just DOOIEEETT!!!

[...] think this goes hand in hand with what I said the other day. So I guess I’ll be the copycat and try it out. As long as what I say yes to won’t [...]

Yah I agree, smoking and drinking isn’t necessary to have a good time, but that goes with anything to have a good time, I’m a heavy Cola drinker and can have a great time with Coke products than realize that it was excessive and killing my liver as a result. So even the things that seem harmless can hurt.

But I like living by moderation these days.

Interesting approach to a work ethic post. I’m doing my best to obtain the “do it now” mentality. It is always tough though. I hope the time you are putting in is paying you back well. I’m shooting and missing lately but i’m working on some new stuff so we will see. Later!

I’m 33 Justin and I don’t know if it is the fact that I have 2 chlidrens or that I am “actually” 33 that make me more relax. But I partied a lot before my first child (at 26). And when I mean a lot, it’s “a lot”! And for being a super-socialize animal, I guess practicing is the way to go. For myself, I guess I’m still like you but no one of my friends would tell that…perception is different for different people. Reading your blog from time to time I wouldn’t expect you to “be” a shy person…

Def. good advice.

But who says you need to drink to have a good time! I’m honestly trying to quit… not doing very good at it though.

I don’t smoke though. Did for about 2 weeks and then I was just like… wtf am I doing?

I definitely agree that it is best to live out your life while you’re young and at 26 I’m trying to enjoy my life as best I can. But take it from me, you don’t want to over abuse your youth either.

I took advantage of the fact that I’m young and can probably party better than if I were 36 years old. But just the other week I had a total wake up call. I treated my diet poorly, ate junk food often, snacked on crap like chips and crackers all day, and to top it off I’ll work more than 10 hours a day and have no time to exercise.

Well it caught up to me, and I had a small issue with my liver/kidney/gallbladder. Take it from me, definitely enjoy but don’t put yourself in a position not to be very healthy and mobile 10 years down the road either. Just because you can smoke or drink all day doesn’t mean you should not still moderate. and that is the thing I learned for myself with a serious wake up call. I’m taking much better care of myself hoping that I don’t have another catastrophic episode and it is definitely hard to re-train my habits.
