Open minded vs validation

Found an old rant i never posted:

We all know this situation, like when you meet someone new, you validate everything he/she says. Yet you don't want to sound judgmental, so you have to keep an open mind. That's what have been working for me so far.
You can only be open minded to a certain extent. Even though you don't want to be judgemental, and don't want to be too rude. The reason is, that you don't want to lose yourself as a person. You can't love everything someone else like, and not everything someone else does is excellent. Of course, this can happen if you don't have your own opninion, but so far I haven't met any who doesn't.

Needless to say being honest doesn't mean u are not open minded. Being open minded simply means you are open to opinion or ideas. In order to be yourself you have to have an open mind to new ideas and yet don't lose yourself. Form ideas, visions and share them with others. If u stay open minded and willing to spare with others
to sharpen your mind, people will respect you for that. If you are able to defend your own stand point that people will respect you even more!

iPhone 4 post

Not the most interesting post. Just testing if blogpress works on my phone. This way I might blog during my travels.
I guess an iPhone and android makes life easier for a casual blogger like me. It's easy to upload pictures, I can blog from anywhere and even the apps seem convenient and easy to use.
It makes me wonder what the future might bring. Basically, we can videolog from anywhere nowadays.
I guess we we'll see what the future has in store for us.

Insomnia, Norah Jones, and other rambling

Hey all,

It has been aged since I touched this page. I haven't blogged for so long. Somehow I feel like blogging tonight. It's just that I had some weird argument with someone important to me, and now we are not really on speaking terms. It's ironic that it takes such a moment to help me blog again.

I guess blogging helps me set my mind straight. There are a few choices I have to make in life. Either pursue my dream for a carreer i've always been thirsty about. Not that I pursue particulair carreer, but somehow I always have this urge to be more, and do more than I do today.

I also realise that I need to be a stronger, and bigger person. Well, not in physical form, but mentally. Not that I worry about the way I am, but in order to grow as a person, I need to become mentally stronger. Also I need to present myself better. I realise that I do care about connecting with people, but with some people I just don't seem to connect. Of course, there are always those I can't relate too, but even so, I want to challenge that! Needless to say, I also want to know why it doesn't work out.

And there's also love. I rather not blog about it, but it does give me head aches hahaha. Then again such is life.

Somehow I love to listen Norah Jones while I ramble. Her voice is so soft, while her music so simple, and clean. There's certain beauty in her music.
Most people are rather surprised that a guy like me, knows to admire Norah Jones. It's not that unique actually. I'm pretty sure.. at this moment there are tons of guys listening to 'come away with me' while typing their blog. Hah, ok maybe less than that, but it's just hard to imagine that there are no guys out there that like Norah Jones.

Enough ramblings for tonight. Another big day is waiting for me tomorrow. Ok, nothing special is going to happen, but hey.. who knows.. maybe some whale might swim into my office tomorrow., huh?

BTW.. I've been a real jerk today. If u read this.. wish me luck. I don't want to be one anymore... and I want to make it up!
Thanks in advance!

Take care folks!

I'll be back!

Coming soon....
