Anisha:  hey do you think you need to find a stud behind the wall to hang up a bulletin board

 Benjamin:  you sound like emily, I like it and it depends on how heavy it is, if you can easily pick it up then no but if it is bigger and heavy then yes. I just hung one up and it wasnt on studs

Germany is so modern. The airport in Munich is so beautiful and well thought out and clean and light and airy. Makes LAX and JFK look like hell dungeons. In the restrooms all of the stalls are built of solid materials that close tightly and go almost all the way to the floor. Nothing feels cheap. - C.E.T

Are you there?

i hope you're there.
  i wish you were here.
but since you are not here, i'm hoping you are there

 i made it to barcelona. it was easy. finding my hotel was easy.
i walked around and saw 3 subways, 2 mcdonalds, 2 burger kings, 1 starbuks, 1 dunkin coffee (or something other than donuts), and 1 KFC
  
  it feels like milan. i'm not sure why but it does.
i walked around for like 1 hour after checking in. looking for some food and just looking around.now i'm super tired.
  it is 1:07 am for me. have you ever seen me awake at 1:07 am before? i bet you haven't.

KNOW the WHYS.

 Be patient with yourself, Learn the difference between good sacrifice and foolish sacrifice. Remember to be happy now. Know the whys of the Gospel so that you can be happy doing them and not just be burdened by it.  Always remember the lord loves you.

"I think its important"

"I feel like I'm better suited for city living right now. I've always wanted to find a place where I fit in....and I've never lived in Europe. I think it's important. Every time I read about 18th century men they always talk about their "time abroad" when they lived in Paris or Venice....becoming cultured...and I still think that is important.
And I want to learn french
I've always felt like I have a gift for languages....
SO
I'm going to force myself
I'm enrolled in french language school
20 hrs a week
sooo yeah."-KO

Do it and be happy.

"Just saying once you make the decision do it and be happy."

DO.


Wake up early. Show up. Learn how to think. Be genuine, but appear nice. Use envy for motivation instead of destruction. Do what you say you’re going to do. Ensure balance in every area of your life. Confront repressed thoughts immediately. Surround yourself with people who are better than you (but remember the thing about envy). Work out every day. Be good at what you do. Make money doing what you love. Have good friends. Never settle.
This is my personal recipe for happiness and success.

Head vs. Heart

"I think in the really lucky ones cases....it is both. I shoot a lot of weddings and engagements and I see a lot of people "in love" I feel like I'm a pretty good judge of relationships. Lots of time they are doing it because they really want to accomplish the "goal" of marriage and someone fits the bill. They'll get married...have kids.....probably have a great marriage and grow to really love each other, because of their accomplishments together. There's another kind of love where that person is it. They are your best friend (And not your best friend because you spent most of your freshmen year on their couch with them) but because you really couldn't see yourself doing anything else without them being a part of it. If something happens...THEY are the one you want to share it with. That along with a great spark.....I dunno...I think it's more than just "working" Meet Joe Black: Anthony Hopkins (William Parrish (talking to his daughter) has a great quote: 


"I want you to get swept away, sing with rapture, dance like a dervish.
It's a cornball thing.  Love is passion, obsession... something you can't live without.
I say, fall head over heels.  Find someone you can love like crazy, that will love you the same way back.  How do you find them, well...you forget your head and listen to your heart."


Yeah, it's tough. Because sometimes we say we have to listen to our heads. I had the opportunity to do that. I dated a girl in NYC but listening to my heart....it wasn't worth it. There was no deep abiding.."no. I have to be with this person"But when your heart is saying yes. Yes. YES. but it doesn't make sense? I think that's when it's worth it. 
Because it will make sense later. Or you'll do what it takes to make it make sense.

If that hasn't happened in a long time we forget about it. 
But it doesn't mean that it still can't happen." -KO


"When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy."

Reading and mediation are the same thing to me.
I love it, but its not for me.
