I went to go get icees with my bro one night and we were listening to cube 93... The dj played this song and being a good dj proceeded to share a life lesson. He said "This song is about like a girl and a guy, but in my life, i've seen that things tend to work out."
I sat there thinking between brain freezes that what this guy said was so true. Well after coming home, my mom yelled at me for being lazy and blah blah blah. I then began to realize that "things tend to work out," sometimes, but usually, they never work out.
Ive set out three conditions for this quote to totally apply to your life. Things only tend to work out if... 1. you are incredibly good looking: Its true, attractive people have the upper hand in life and will always defeat us mediocre faced individuals if we dont have this next condition which is... 2. you have to be an intelligent person/ genius: If your a genius, you'll always find some way to succeed even if youre butt ugly. 3. If your parents are rich and you are rich, things will work out, enough said.
Unfortunately, I am not incredibly attractive, I have a normal, homely face, and my parents are not filthy rich. What i have resolved in this realization is someday, God, will recognize my great determination and perseverance and grant me with something. anything. i hope. So i will continue to live my life with hopes high hoping someday God will throw me a girlfriend, a nice degree, a nice job, and a happy life, but until then things probably wont work out that often.

KungFu, no driving involved
Post 6
I have always seen chinese people as (spare me the fired up comments about racial profiling and what not) old, super wise, and living on top of mountains, Kung-fu masters, or noisy, short old women that smell funny. Thats just me of course, and yes there might be a little bit of racial stereotype-"ism" in those descriptions, but thats just me. Im trying to be real. I can change?
anyway, a week ago these mountain-dwelling, noisy, funny-smelling, skilled fighters had never been the topic of my thoughts until a chinese man rear-ended me while i was stopped. and here comes the venting: WTF!! who does that?! Just making asian people look bad. Effing yellow on yellow crime.
ok well, I started to realize that i couldnt blame this man that hit me because of his race. Im sure there are amazing chinese drivers out there that wouldnt take their eyes off the road in stoppped traffic while going 30 miles per hour. I couldnt blame him because i didnt understand his situation. Sure this chinese guy could have been just a beat-out (about 48 years old) old chinese man that sucked at driving, but theres always the chance that he was... being haunted by a ghost or driving away from a divorce or so emotionally caught up in his child's addiction to drugs, he couldnt think straight.
All im saying is these things, although the chances are slim, may have been true... the fact that they could be true is what really hit me. Right after the accident, i was thinking, "effing chinese guy, damn i cant believe he effing hit me. Garsh! &*(*&^%$$^(*^%&*)*^%!!!!" haha but in situations like this, everyone thinks that way. Everyone thinks that because they are the victim, the one at fault isnt a victim himself. And i would term people that think this way... hmmm.... society. Everyone thinks like this! and sometimes the situation is so that you think there is no possible way this person could have been led to OPPRESS (for lack of a better word in my vocab. repertoire) you by another outside force. BUT there is always the possibility and because there is a possibility, you acting naturally: getting mad and all is what i like to call being a jerk
dont be a jerk. be calm. Kung fu may not involve driving, but maybe crazy scary ghosts make people crash into cars.
Peee ssssssssssss,

1 am.
POST 5
man. ive actually got a couple of posts on my dashboard but they havent quite made the cut. haha but this one is different, nothing too philosophical or moral-packed. This one is about the time during which i think. My thinking pattern is quite weird. In the day i am pretty much a thoughtless care-free guy, trying to live in peace with the world, like nature. I am nature.
But by night at 1 am, i think. I think about world issues, although everyone knows that theres too many to count on two hands and two feet and someone elses two hands and two feet, i think about... well, thinking. They term this meta-cognition, whoever they are, and really when i "meta-cognate" i think of how i would post my thoughts in a blog post. Its really an interesting process. Save this one post titled "1 am", all my posts have been thoughts circulating in my mind in the form of a blog post. Why am i explaining my thinking about thinking process? because i think its interesting. The way i think is somewhat cynical, yet optimistic. How does that work? i dont know because they are almost opposites, but it works out for me so dont rain on my parade haha. well this post had no meaning or moral. pretty much a stream of consciousness. PPPPPPPPPPeace.

Spinning fans, spraying shizzle
Post#4
One of the funniest phrases i think ive come upon in my whole entire life is, "Sh*t hits the fan." It cracks me up! Just the visual aspect of this catchy little phrase gives me the giggles. Imagine just a bunch of turd hitting a spinning fan, it's hilarious! (and i think i say this every post but pardon the grammar mistakes, im only human). But then theres the aspect of the quote that really is serious (as hard as it is to believe).Somtimes crap does hit the fan. Sometimes people are talking behind your back and making all these rumors about you and talking shizzle, and when Sh*t hits the fan, you realize you dont have real friends. Its all like that, that realization is when sh*t hits the fan. Like when you realize that the person you love, is having an affair or something (by the way most of this is taken from probably super drama scripts or something). But when Sh*t does hit the fan, all i can say is: you gotta clean that "fanned" Sh*t up. It doesnt do anyone good if your hung up over yourself for like 30 days trying to milk the sittuation for all its worth: Get a little pity pat on the back here and a sorry hug there. Its all just a healing process to eventually get to the end of the road where you are completely recovered with a new experience under your belt. But why not shorten the process, skip to the end, take the shortcut road and recover immediately from rejection/depression/sorrow/hurt/pain. Oh yea i know why you cant do that... because we're not freaking robots. When sh*t hits the fan, its like that Sh*t had metal spikes and fireballs in it. It hurts, i know, and if your human, it takes a long time to heal your wounds. But all im saying is dont take others down with you in your glorious poop covered escapade to attain everyones pity. because believe it or not, depressed people tend to make other people.... depressed. haha. Its always good to rely on people like your friends, but sometimes in the end the only person you can rely on is yourself. You have to pull through and you have to heal yourself and if you keep looking to others for recovery, you'll lose them too. So as a final goodbye even though i could talk it out for like 100 more pages/// SUCK IT UP MAN. everyone hurts. get over it
peace and prosper,much,

Roll with the punches in an ideal world
Post #3
Ive been in many arguments and seen many arguments. They normally consist of someone pointing out the other person's "initial flaw" whether it be about the other person himself (and i am going to stick to one gender for my pronouns because all those him/her' s would bug me and why i chose the male side, you probably know why. Yes sexist),his beliefs, his car, his drink, his girlfriend etc etc eht seh tah rah. And yes some people live for the thrill of insulting, and trying to win arguments. Thats why the world has lawyers. haha no but seriously, I am personally not a person who likes to get in arguments. In boxing they have a term called "rolling with the punches" which basically refers to letting the opponent hit you and punch you and beat on your face until the opponent gets tired and you look like your face is freaking retarded. But with deformed face and all, thats when you strike! When in arguments, i employ the "roll with the punches" technique. Sure I might come out of the argument with a hurt ego, lower self esteem,and maybe a few eating disorders or something, but i avoid arguments. A lot of people say, man david thats the wuss way out! and yea wusses do dislike arguing and fighting, but i take this point of view for a very different reason. I mean im sure i could take my mom in a fight, but i dont want to argue with her because out there in the world, everyone is arguing. Everyone is trying to represent their own beliefs and morals and ways of doing things, striving to prove they are right.AND as long as this is going on,not everyone will believe the same thing so initially we are stuck in this vicious circle of arguing about something forever and ever until the end of time. Why cant we just agree to disagree...? because its hard for people to swallow their own pride. And many people will argue that argument brings about change and all that good stuff, but who cares? If we were all content with each other, then we could all be relaxed yea? doesnt work out that way though, but thats my ideal world though... yes... i remember, im a sort of hybrid mixture of a lover and a pacifist, if they arent the same thing. and this post is getting kind of large and lame so, yea. Arguing helps you get your point across, but just cut it off at the source, dont be a person of conflict. just relax and get punched a couple times. it will hurt.
peace and much prsper,

The end of the world is... expected
Post #2
A former post from my xanga. just something i wrote really late at night when i was thinking.
I am currently contemplating the end of the world. After watching a very pirated, very illegal copy of 2012 that my mom brought home from one of her secret pirate korean lady friends, I started to think anything was possible. Man it was crazy. People were dying left and right and like th ground was exploding and cracking and doing all this crazy stuff. But in the midst of all this chaos John Cusack (looked that up on google) is able to maneuver a limo through falling buildings and breaking crust. Honestly, when I think of anything like this ever happening, I chuckle because the thought of it is freaking crazy! How could the earth ever start to fall apart to the point that we all have to board giant "arks" made of metal to effectively escape disaster? its crazy? But have you ever heard t he phrase "its so crazy that it just might work."? haha it kind of applies in the sense that a lot of the times things happen that we never expect, and when these things do happen we act as if nothing is happening. Like tomorrow theres always a chance that a meteor could crash into earth killing half the population, but if a man were to scream to everyone that a meteor was coming, it's very unlikely that anybody would believe him. Its always the topic of the final destination movies. One character predicts that a person will die a certain way but no one believes him or her. And then they... well die. It seems as life progresses, peoplep start to get comfortable where they are and dont care about things that could happen, and only care about things that are happening now. I think we have to expect the unexpected, prepare for the worst. Sure there will be times when everything seems right and happy, but those are the times you have to suspect crazy anomalous things to occur. And this can be applied to all situations of life.
well theres my two cents for today.

Why Secret?
post#1
I guess this is a big step up from xanga. I like to write about my feelings sometimes, well that is of the limited feelings i do have, but somehow writing it here seems a little more... professional? haha.
Well you may think: whys it called the "secret life of dave", And i began to think of this when I immediately titled it "the secret life of dave" unconsciously as if it was meant to be.
Well all i can say is, if you know me, you probably only know me at about 60%. Following this blog will help you attain that extra 39.99% and the remaining .01% is still a mystery : ). I post about things i think about, the world, friends, everything, and i might even bring some xanga posts on here. well. first post!! YEAAA! and i always sign out like this. (by the way, ignore the grammar mistakes because i know they are there, I just dont care : ) ) rhymes.
peace and much prrrosper,
