The Transition"I know it's hard to look up when everything is falling down on you." July 05 Reaffirmation Nope, not going to work. It was never meant to be, hence, back we go into our lives. Perhaps in 2 years time. More probably, never. It's like a broken relationship, never to be visited or touched again. This is who we are. July 04 Revisiting All of a sudden, you walked back into my life. Where have you been all my life? Better question: where have I been all your life? Goodbye Apathy To take a leap away from the digital social networking lifestyle is not new. What is new however, is doing so knowing it has nothing to offer even as it stands by. Encountering the height of apathy and disappointment, I am going to abandon MSN for the time being. Reason? Simple: it has nothing to offer emotionally, physically, or intellectually. I am much better off spending my idling time reading, listening to music, recording videos, composing songs, learning some new techniques, or even playing dota. Any of the aforementioned options compensates so much more than staring at the list of disconnected, dispassionate people who seemingly live as virtual beings, unable to generate any form of happiness. I have surfeited my head with useless, futile expectations from a useless, futile crowd. But in the end, I am the one to blame. I have fabricated these assumptions and constituted arrogant walls, impenetrable and deceiving, even to myself. Especially to myself. I need to breakaway for a while, not sure how long, perhaps a day, a week, and perhaps for as long as I can foresee. Operation ungeekify: Begin. July 03 Epiphany So that's why I haven't been able to post any new entries.. Ever since February, I have been using my "new" account wu.jeff@hotmail.com and of course, Windows recognizing that this blog is owned by my old account sonicviper64@hotmail.com, I haven't been able to post any new entries as a "browser." Okay, composition will resume. Sorry for the half-year delay. Wait, sorry to who? To myself I guess. Whatever. Updates: 1) Taking courses (specifically micro and macro). 2) Single as ever. 3) Summer is amazing. 4) Working out is amazing. 5) Body is amazing (or in the process of becoming so). 6) Low on money (but that's not new). Okay, more updates are imminent. January 21 Competition as a Stimulant or Repellent? Rotman Commerce Student Associations elections are approaching. I won't lie, I'm a little uneasy. But let's face it, I'm good enough and I know it. The people know it. I just need to prove it to them again. January 19 Deficit in Human Determination Concomitant to the burst of the dotcom bubble is an influx of innovation into the bright young minds of the Twenty-first century. From the Apple explosion of ingenuity in consumer electronics, to the globally hyped hub for video screaming Youtube, and finally to the post-Myspace FB era where stalkers are constantly updated with up-close-and-personal information about any one individual of their interest, everything has been part of the rush to design and creativity. Where does marketing play its role in this post-industrial world of IT and social networking? Let's face it, accounting, albeit secure for its guaranteed monetary and career returns, is banal as hell. Corporate advertisements do not delineate the harsh reality of a mundane, numbers-based lifestyle. Of course, in regards to those whom numbers may excite, it is a whole other fairytale. There is great, and perhaps necessary paucity of human resources in the marketing field, yet the lack thereof may dictate the availability of supply and hence embrace the meager demand with welcoming arms. At the end of the day, what is truly palatable and sustainable in the career and not environmental sense (as this is the single most eminent topic of our generation) is what adheres to our private internal visions. Often times the external, which consists primarily of colleagues, authorities, and the media, will direct its target citizens towards the socially and economically beneficial norm, portraying the surface situation as a far more personal matter. It is ultimately up to the individual to fathom, analyze, and even depreciate what force the external sphere of influences exhibits on the individual's quintessential definition of achievement. Colloquially put, if I want to major in marketing and there are people out there demeaning me for it, I will climb to the top of the corporate latter one day to ultimately savor my career and personal life, as well as crush the dogmatism of those people through word of mouth. January 05 Resume Targeting 31 days of distraction. 31 days of indolence. 31 days of deterioration. 31 days of disengagement. Let's go back to the start, where my passion began, but not alone this time, yet with a sense of comfort and guidance. Let's accept the facts and provisions of this situation, and then optimize our results given our resources and time. Let's start from zero. Let's go back to school.  (determination, not frustration)
