What Wealth Means To Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9OxtHEYIjE&feature=related
TLDW: Muhammad Ali says he buys nice and expensive things not because he loves wealth, but because wealth is respected. If a modest church that preaches the word of God faithfully goes against a diamond studded church that preaches more poorly, the diamond studded church would get most of the followers. Gives them a cheap way to look wealthy. So when Ali pulls up in his diamond car next to another black man in a diamond car, the black man would respect him when he invites him to his church, rather than immediately dismiss him for lack of wealth.
It all makes sense right? But it really shouldn't. I've seen enough wealthy people with enormous amounts of problems. Wealth is NOT happiness after a certain point, and that certain point is within pretty much anyone's range.
Anyway, I'm trying to wake up early now. Been waking up way too late.

LAziness
I wonder where I lie on the laziness spectrum in terms of the human race.
Laziness being defined as: Not doing things that you know is probably better for you in the long run because you "just don't feel like it".
I don't think mine is that bad on the overall scale, but it could definitely use a ton of improvement and fine-tuning. I'm lazy because I'm spoiled.

Drawing
Ever since I moved in, my plan was to decorate my apartment with pictures I drew/painted.
Then I found out I would have zero time. Today, I finally said "fuck it", and dedicated the night to drawing. So here it is. It's from a manga called Sexy Commando Gaiden.
I bought two India ink pens, one thick and one thin, to do this.
The way manga artists use shadows has always intrigued me. I know it's super basic to a real artist, but yeah. It's hard to make deep shadows in cloth look natural. I chose to do this drawing cause it leaves a TON of room for error. If you fuck up, just slobber more ink all around it and it looks even better.

How to Extend Your Life
Keep meeting new people, doing new things, and exploring new locations.
New things make time go slow.
Don't you want to live long?

Warren Buffett
"I know people who have a lot of money," he says, "and they get testimonial dinners and hospital wings named after them. But the truth is that nobody in the world loves them. When you get to my age, you'll measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you. That's the ultimate test of how you've lived your life."
This is wise. I watched Fight Club today. The idea behind the novel/movie speaks volumes about today's society. We kill ourselves trying to impress each other, when we should just be fucking each other.
