Feels like a have a touch more energy, im a bit less perky and my appetite is starting to increase.

Be that going on a run, reading some articles from The Wall Street Journal or just flossing my teeth twice. I'm in full belief that one good decision leads to another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today i filled my big-ass stainless steel water jug zucchini, carrot, sweet potato, celery, apple, cucumber, ginger juice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;It's a start.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-6739936291973102755?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2011/10/well-that-was-quick.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-3137756119946087504</guid><pubDate>Tue, 06 Sep 2011 21:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-09-06T14:06:10.014-07:00</atom:updated><title>Since Last We Spoke...</title><description>&lt;a href="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/223691_10150358644028169_646418168_9702254_6927193_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 426px;" src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/223691_10150358644028169_646418168_9702254_6927193_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;Real strange how we fall back into old habits; Positive ones.&lt;br /&gt;I found myself thumbing through records again and felt that large part of me come back.&lt;br /&gt;I could even close my eyes and smell the mix or pine-sol floors, old records and the faint smell or fresh rain pushing its way through the front door.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;It's a far throw from the instant itunes that we have all become accustomed too.&lt;br /&gt;I don't really hold on to the moments when i pressed "download now".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;Also how i felt during those times.&lt;br /&gt;To be honest, i really don't like the feeling.&lt;br /&gt;For some reason loneliness and creativity seem to share the seat with me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;I guess you can chalk it up to the infinite good with the bad scenario.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;Anyway, shits progress...&lt;br /&gt;I feel its physically apparent this time around.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-3137756119946087504?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2011/09/since-last-we-spoke.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-3436379088142463318</guid><pubDate>Mon, 27 Jun 2011 18:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-27T12:09:37.604-07:00</atom:updated><title>work all day.</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.simplyfreshliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/green-smoothie.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 423px;" src="http://www.simplyfreshliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/green-smoothie.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I've been going to the gym religiously for the past 6 months 5-6 times a week and really push myself. I've also dramatically cut out alcohol from my diet, all processed foods and sugars, and really eased back on carbs; rarely having bread or pasta.  Every day i take supplements. I'm on Green Viberance Powder, Vegan Whey Powder, Vitamins B1, A and D, Fish Oil or Cod Liver Oil and l Glutimine. I eat really one "solid" meal a day, usually lunch, in the mornings I usually make a power smoothie that heavily consist of vegetables, green tea and a very small hand full of fruit. At night i do the same but usually have a snack with it that consist of raw protein (meat or nutts) and a small veg. As a result i've put on quite a bit of size (for my frame) and have stayed the same weight throughout (120lbs respectively). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-3436379088142463318?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2011/06/work-all-day.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-2407317088600926501</guid><pubDate>Sat, 18 Jun 2011 00:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-17T17:36:05.136-07:00</atom:updated><title>Summer.</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.podsix.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/6a00d834202b2653ef0120a535804a970b-800wi.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 535px; height: 358px;" src="http://www.podsix.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/6a00d834202b2653ef0120a535804a970b-800wi.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Summer always seems to kick off with the Fremont Solstice Parade (AKA dirty hippies get to re use their unwashed Burning man costumes again ).

Applying this new thinking of "do it and don't wait" has been really good. Seems like the more productive i am the more good things come my way. I've been waking up sore everyday from the gym, feeling energetic and healthy from eating right and taking my supplements daily. The more I focus on being a good person to my self and others the more positive and happy im feeling. I've seriously been waking up super hyped to start each day knowing that im going to either improve or learn something new. I really hope i can keep this forward momentum through out the year. I might turn into some magical level 9 super human then... ha. &lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-262650484990332160?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2011/01/i-realized-that-you-have-moved-on.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-8615240966491988859</guid><pubDate>Sun, 26 Dec 2010 22:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-26T14:30:23.224-08:00</atom:updated><title>Seriously.</title><description>&lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Lately i've had a fear in life.. Hanging out at the bar one day with some friends i see a bar tender.. Looks to be in his late 20's early 30's.. Tattooed, beard, skully, hitting on some underage girl... Not to be a hater, but i really don't want to end up like this... I Have a slogan for 2011 (kill life).. more like "kill it" but it saves me the extra keystrokes. But yeah, this past month ive told myself i'm not going to say "later" to myself.. if something needs to get done, i get up and do it. Whether that be taking out the trash, going to the gym, taking a piss, talking to that girl, paying that bill.. whatever... Anyway, i'll get off my soap box.. found this on a website, made me laugh. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;1) Eat only organic produce and meat. Avoid any factory farmed meat and inorganic fruit and vegetables like the plague.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;2) Eliminate sugar from your diet completely. Fruit doesn’t count.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3) Cut out all processed foods.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;4) Dairy, soy, wheat, sugar, white flour and legumes are inflammatory. Get rid of them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;5) Don’t piss away all your money on bogus, bullshit supplements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;6) Drink a gallon of water per day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;7) Cut out all other beverages. Except for green tea and vodka. Scotch and whiskey are acceptable on occasion as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;8) Practice intermittent fasting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;9) Get to bed by 10:30 or 11pm every night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;10) Have a routine that helps you wind down each night. Lower the lights, read, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;11) Get off of the computer at least two hours before bed. The screen over stimulates your pineal gland and messes with your ability to sleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;12) Buy the most expensive mattress and sheets you can afford. It’s where you spend a third of your life.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;13) Use big compound barbell lifts, gymnastics and strongman exercises to create a well rounded, functional, strong, muscular physique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;14) Focus on a handful of exercises from each category and stick with them until you are really good at them and can no longer make progress. This will probably be years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;15) Lift heavy. I can never say this often enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;16) Stick with programs for more than a few weeks. Months or years might be more appropriate in some cases. This also bears repeating. Too many people are program jumpers and get nowhere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;17) Put all of your efforts into a few things that actually make a difference, instead of trying a million options that all do next to nothing.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;18) Find a way to get focused. Somehow, some way. Most people have zero focus and thus zero control of their lives. Don’t be another multitasking, confused, out of control, getting nowhere fast member of society. We have more than enough of those.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;19) Never use weight training for fat loss or “metabolic conditioning.” You lift weights to get bigger, stronger and faster. Remember that.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;20) Keep a training journal. Record everything. Always try to improve over time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;21) Train outside more often.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;22) Do hill sprints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;23) Pick up and carry or drag heavy shit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;24) Get at least 20 minutes of sunlight per day without sunscreen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;25) Floss daily.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;26) Eliminate excess clutter and bullshit from your life. Minimalism…&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;27) Have sex three times per week, minimum. Preferably with hot chicks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;28) Never allow yourself to get too fat.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;29) Never allow your conditioning to slip too much. Always stay in shape.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;30) Meditate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;31) Play a sport. At least recreationally once in a while.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;32) Read a book. In fact, read lots of books. Aim for at least two per month.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;33) Never hang out or associate with negative people.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;34) Reduce stress in your life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;35) Check email far less often than you do right now.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;36) Watch less TV than you do right now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;37) Never hate or be jealous of anyone. It takes too much energy; energy that could be used to better your life.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;38) Listen to Public Enemy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;39) Read this site daily.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-8615240966491988859?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2010/12/seriously.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-1334332068940630509</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 Oct 2010 21:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-10-07T14:49:24.045-07:00</atom:updated><title>Lines.</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Straight_Line/straight_line_example.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 478px; height: 308px;" src="http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Straight_Line/straight_line_example.png" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;My focus right now, like it or not.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Furniture / Home design&lt;br /&gt;SSFIV&lt;br /&gt;Chondros&lt;br /&gt;Plants and Gardening&lt;br /&gt;Food&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;How i would like my focus to be right now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Music&lt;br /&gt;Art (my own)&lt;br /&gt;Chondros&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Furniture / Home Design&lt;br /&gt;Plants and Gardening&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;SSFIV&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;fuckin' priorities.... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-1334332068940630509?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2010/10/lines.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-3155320459364689512</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-10-05T17:26:59.244-07:00</atom:updated><title>Butter.</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Amor_Victorious.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Amor_Victorious.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I prolly' should write something as i've been putting this thing on the back burner for a little while too long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haight has updated his new website www.chrishaightdesigns.com with our current project and i'm pretty excited to see it finally get off the ground.

I told a friend about it, she suggested i give it to someone in need. I realized that i really don't care about other people who are not in my direct circle of friends. I also thought to myself if Seattle would blow up but my friends were all ok, would i care... Honestly i don't think it would affect me in the slightest. Not to say i don't care if bad things happen to other people, because i do, Heck i gave some money to Haiti and that Indo flood, that counts for something, right? I think it sucks when it bad things happen, but i also am old enough to realize that bad things happen and i'm "ok" with that. I understand that i cant help everyone but at the same time understand that i don't care about everyone either. So thats the paradox, if thats even a paradox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why this revelation? Some stuff went down this weekend that made me question survival or friendship and relationships. I really think at the core were all very selfish people. Though i think we have our boundaries. Nothing happened to me, in the slightest. And i'm not bitter, in the slightest. I just think we all need to admit to our selfs where we stand in 'survival' and admit that it's ok and healthy to be selfish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did i mention i cant stand hippies... yeah; that too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-8373888526766048616?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2010/05/doing-double-duty.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-4742975898692446348</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-22T10:36:34.185-07:00</atom:updated><title>Pissed-off Puerto Ricans</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cfiTWqo1XM0/RmFxr7dRWHI/AAAAAAAAACw/ov-A-itP_28/s400/catburg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 357px; height: 360px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cfiTWqo1XM0/RmFxr7dRWHI/AAAAAAAAACw/ov-A-itP_28/s400/catburg.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Someone "broke in" to my car last night. I type that in quotes because i rarely ever lock my car door(s). Oddly its a feeling i've missed. I'm just not cut out for the quiet life. They took nothing as i keep nothing of value in my car. I'm just a little upset they didnt close the door behind them and my floor mats got wet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Oh yeah, i moved back to Capitol Hill... It really hasn't sunk in yet. My place doesn't seem "mine" yet. The place is nice; plenty of room and a great deck. It's also nice for once to not share a wall or walls with anyone. Ever weekend theres been some sort of get together at my place. First was a house warming party that saw about 50 homies. The next was an impromptu BBQ and this weekend Courtney is having her birthday at our place... I'm guessing there will be about 40 people there. Not that it's a party house, or even remotely resembles one. I just think im still trying to wash the Fremont away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite all of this "action" i really haven't had much time to myself. Or to enjoy the fruits of the move. With classes and work i'm usually spent when I come home and the weekends are spent tending for things around the house. I think in a couple of weeks things will be good.. or at least back to normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for life? It's been a grind. Not in a bad way. I've just been busy. I have 3 things i need to be doing pretty much all of the time. I've also adjusted my priorities (of which i'm not going to spell out). Let's just say i'm more focused... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-4742975898692446348?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2010/04/pissed-off-puerto-ricans.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cfiTWqo1XM0/RmFxr7dRWHI/AAAAAAAAACw/ov-A-itP_28/s72-c/catburg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-6520653806746165975</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Feb 2010 20:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-22T12:42:24.698-08:00</atom:updated><title>i'll make minced meat out of that beat mouse.</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.en.china.cn/0/0,0,237,1689,360,360,9907b1a0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 360px; height: 360px;" src="http://img.en.china.cn/0/0,0,237,1689,360,360,9907b1a0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Nothing right now, is easy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-6520653806746165975?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2010/02/ill-make-minced-meat-out-of-that-beat.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-5872010682138720150</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-10T09:37:15.050-08:00</atom:updated><title>!=Social</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://freekick.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/hard-work.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://freekick.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/hard-work.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Full time job, school 4 days a week, personal projects.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;life != social_life&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-5872010682138720150?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2010/02/social.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-2140497162858040861</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Feb 2010 07:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-08T23:31:32.663-08:00</atom:updated><title>Traveling fast</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://karmeyhesed.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/unemployment.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 532px; height: 420px;" src="http://karmeyhesed.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/unemployment.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Gah, whats up with this steady trickle of suck. My mom got hit with a bomb of bad news. That has me worried. First time since she got medical attention that i've been seriously worried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was odd talking to her on the phone. It really was the first time i think she talked to me as a peer... It was weird but at the same time made me realize that times are changing. More so that time is moving. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the phone call with mom i watched this documentary about Pandora (moon). As odd as it sounds it just seemed fitting, given the situation. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I've also been having these really really vivid dreams about Chris lately.&lt;br /&gt;That whole mess hasn't been on my mind (at all).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Whats going on...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-2140497162858040861?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2010/02/traveling-fast.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575678772039717040.post-64524933584430543</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-01T13:40:44.694-08:00</atom:updated><title>ar.tis.tic.mo.ti.va.tion.</title><description>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.penn-olson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/motivation.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.penn-olson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/motivation.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Havent been to the gym in a week.&lt;br /&gt;Need to master one finished cd.&lt;br /&gt;Need to finish soul cd.&lt;br /&gt;what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Well to my credit, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;i did go to figure drawing class&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;i did work on the soul cd&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;i did go dancing...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; sort of equals some working out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;i am at my idea weight and shape.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575678772039717040-64524933584430543?l=blog.juliangarcia.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.juliangarcia.com/2010/02/artisticmotivation.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julian Garcia)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
