Paul Park: I say....

Feeling like I'm lost in the sea. Loneliness hit Just following this water that drifts I seem like a lost man No particular place to be But water jet streams my life Hold on to something Try to stay on my feet Bottom of rum like pirates Seek the solution in the drink Cause silence only seek The reflection in me I'm bumping left and right Hoping that's the right way to home But when I dock I have amnesia Was I here when this journey started Home is made to be Home is suppose to be Sitting in the boat Hoping someone recognizes me Maybe miss me Or is my life time Just another pass by Once up on a time story? It was sweet to begin with I look for lost souls Maybe they will understand But Poseidon doesn't have mercy he made us colder So only way to be truly warmer once again is by love ones, who would hold us But my soul belong to the see Mermaids are calling to come in and play So, can never dock I set sail, again Hoping to find the way ...

Not many people say these words any more; Sir or Ma'am. I worked in customer service long enough that if became words that I use frequently. People love to here and some prefer to be just called by their name when I call them that. But these are words of manner and you can't go wrong showing some manner. But this blog isn't about manners, it's more about domino affect. Currently, I work at a convenient store and I deal with many different characters; Some rich, some poor, some young and some old. Older generation love hearing younger person call them Sir or Ma'am because it shows sign of respect. Not really in Pullman but on the Westside of Washington, lot of young people come in and greet with "What's Up, Yo, Sup", which I am not mad at but, personally, I don't really like it. It's because I am a person of class and I try to act like a gentleman much as possible. I know why they do it because I use to those kids. I use to have pants hanging un...

Life isn’t a easy ride; everyone feels things we call “emotions” from anger to happiness, sadness, frustration, depression, an etc.. people will feel these in their life time. At that moment, it feels likes the life will be over if that certain thing does not pan out the way it should when it’s only a tiny piece of your life like a pebble on the beach. But we can not let that pebble become the rock that will trip us over and fall down to lose the race, even after the fall, we should get up and at least try your best to make something out of nothing. Life in rough neighborhood is……well………..not easy, but these people been tested by life so many times that their back is always against the wall. And what do you do when you your back is against the wall; you start fighting back. Can’t give up, when you do, that is when the game is over. When Michael Jordan had the flu and couldn’t even talk; he went out on the court and Bulls won the game. Can you really say Bulls could’ve done it without...

Something got to be different from yesterday, right? We try to achieve new goals or set goals everyday and I believe that is the reason why we wake up every morning to take on the day. But something have to be different. If you are a student, you should learn something today that you didn’t know yesterday, if you are a working person, your career should be one step closer to get a promotion, if you have debts, you should be one dollar lower on your debts; whatever you do, it should be one step closer to your main objective, it cannot be same as yesterday. It is not a physical evolution where fish first walked on land, but it’s more of mental evolution where you have gained something valuable to evolve you from yesterday you to today you. It’s only human nature that we strive to be better every day. If we stayed the way we are everyday, we would still be homo Neanderthal with no development. And, most likely, we would’ve been wiped out like dinosaurs. Some may ask “Paul, What do y...

Plz don't blame me for trying. It was only right for a straight man to feel this way when he feels we have entered the new level of our relationship. I only try to move forward when I feel we have achieved something special and I was only trying to turn to next chapter and try to see what new opportunities and horizon we would've open together. But, can't blame me for how I acted. Im sure you understand why I took such action and did what I did. You understand me more than most of friends I have known longer than you have known me. And the feeling that I have is hard to shake and many many times, I have thoughts that this can be more than what it is. But now I gotta do what I do and stand by next to you in different circumstances and different positions. I gotta watch what I say, and gotta pretend everything is ok. It will be hard but I have to try. Got to try...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and, in this life, there is no such thing as smooth sailing. Everyone goes through their own ways of pain and, even though its hurtful during the moment, it gives the best gift to us; experience. Once you go through such events that shakes your life, you would know exactly how to deal with it when it comes around. At that moment, you feel like your heart is torn to pieces, darkness bloom inside of you, sun will never shine again, and want to say ”F*#k everybody”. But, you have to keep your head up and fight through this pain because this pain will make your hearr stronger than it was before. Its kinda like getting sick; when you first get it, the new feeling will break you down and tear you apart, but once you dealt with it, you will get immune to the pain. Its harder to do than,talk,about it, but this blog is written to let you know that, don't lose hope. You have to keep going. I often think that, people who went through great amoun...

It hurts to see you like this.. You are the strongest person in our family and see you laying there, so weak;.....it only brought tears to my eyes. I was hoping to see you sitting up, joking with sisters and nag me how I shaved my head and tell me I'm not focusing hard enough. But with all these tubes in your body and cast over your neck.........I hate the whole world for doing this to you. I thought I could handle it. but I guess it's harder than I imagined. Everyday goes by and my love for you is getting bigger and bigger. And, knowing, there ain't shit I can do to make you feel better is what kills me. I blame myself for living your side. I feel that, this would've never happened if I was here. Why did I go? Why did I leave? Seeing you laying there and trying to hold my tears to show you how strong I am, bust out crying in middle of the street as soon as I left. Im sorry I was such a trouble maker when I was young and Im sorry I left. I should've ju...

Without a reason, there is no action. Without the cause, there is no plan. So, why does America doing things without a reason? I'm, of course, talking about the war in middle east. Today, USA TODAY headline reads "U.S. Military suicides surged to record 349 last year" and follows " far exceeding the 259 American combat  deaths in Afghanistan in 2012". You can call me whatever you like after I write this next sentence: I was/ am against the war in Middle East. I might sound like a purest but this was not our war. If anything, we are coming off as bullies who are forcing our way of life to people whom were perfectly fine governing themselves. Lead by a stupid president we elected twice, we sent our sons, fathers, brothers, daughters, mothers to war that is meaningless. What happened to the country who only interfered when the battle was on our soil? I'm very glad that President Obama have been pulling military out of places that we weren't even suppose t...

Greed:  noun  excessive   or   rapacious   desire,   especially   for   wealth   or   possessions.  That's all of us. Even though we might act like we are not greedy, in some way, you are.  Most of us, it is the money that we want more. Even if you are rich, you want more and more. That's human nature, things are never enough. Like love, it's never enough. You could be with the hottest girl in the world but sometimes you might want someone else. I guess it's quantity that we are most pleased with rather than quality.  We, as human beings, needs to learn how to control our urges and learn to settle sometimes. You might be able to kill two birds with one stone but you aren't able to catch both of the rabbits. You need to know your happiness limit. What amount of stuff will make you happy. Everyone could, always, have little more of something. But you will realize that you will find the peak of happiness when you learn to se...

In 2011 - 2012, I worked for a motel and I learned lot about traveling business. In last two years, airline companies have been increasing fare and added many hidden fees. This is not just applying to airlines, this includes rental car companies and lodging businesses. Rental car companies are the original professionals at adding hidden fees from GPS, child's seat, one-way cost, and etc.Lodging had been adding fees such as safe fees, room service, TV programs, and etc. In this blog, I will give you a tips to help you travel, possibly save some money, and some suggestions to maximize your fun. Here we go. 1) Book it directly: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT USE ONLINE TRAVEL AGENCY SUCH AS HOTELS.COM, EXPEDIA, ORBITZ, PRICELINE, TRAVELOCITY. I say that because, even though it's easy to use and easy to bundle up your services you need for traveling, they will not help you when things go wrong. These companies are just bridges, they aren't responsible if your reservation at your ho...
