I’m lying on my bed this Sunday afternoon, with no decision made I have to ask myself over and over. What am I doing with my life? I hate this feeling of immobility because I am just not wired to be care-free, after all.

]]> http://dan-tart.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=63 0 Problem #1 http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=62 http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=62#comments Sat, 17 Oct 2009 04:06:36 +0000 admin http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=62 I’m not sure if it’s gonna be good or bad, but it’s not lookin’ too bright right now. There’s a kind of emptiness inside when all your life, you woke up and went to school, and when that goes away, it’s like you’re not moving forward anymore. Not only that, not only do I understand the benefits of going to school, but being in Davis is nice, being away from home is nice. It’s different for me because of the expected contributions, my parent’s are both working and once I am available I become another hand to them. I don’t mind putting a finger in the mix but it’s a whole nother story now.

I;m not sure why .. but something tells me it’s not them I’m mad at. I’m angered at society and the way it is structured. Where is the balance between yourself, your relatives, your friends, and coworkers?

I have shit to deal with myself, you know. I want a career and it doesn’t just get handed to people like me. What I do is make a name for myself, and stuff like that don’t come easy.

I’m not a puppet for ya’ll, and I sort of finally understand why my dog Lucky begins to bark when we walk to the back ignoring him. Or when we put him in the cage and he cries. When he goes out the gate he feels completely free and goes nuts. Maybe other dogs won’t care, but we sure as hell can’t slap a label on Lucky and make him do to our commands. We’re living creatures man, we deserve a chance and we want it.

I’m not sure if things will ever change, and that’s where it hurts the most.

It feels the same every time I am hinted by family and then by friends to do two different things. Is this my life I’m living or is it someone else’s? Don’t I have an obligation to tend to family over friends?

It’s a tough question to ask in a world like this, perhaps even more terrifying when I was hearing stories about  family members backstabbing each other. Of course, I love my parents to death.. which is the only reason I am having this conflict.

]]> http://dan-tart.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=62 0 Wake me up, when september ends http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=61 http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=61#comments Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:06:30 +0000 admin http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=61 So I decide to come back 3 weeks later. Been doing normal stuff taking care of things n settling in with the fam. Yeah, theres definitely some stuff i wouldn’t want to live with…at home. Theres not a lot of freedom with parents around. I mean’ cmon..im 22. Leave me alone already! hah.. if only there wasnt this asian thing called filial piety. but yeah I can’t wait to be able to live my own life. They just don’t understand everything, my parents can’t even say a sentence in english. I’m like living a double standard life right now yo. Thanks for guilt tripping me my whole life, now STOP *hand gesture*

Can you guys believe in 22 now? who’d knew it’d be like this, the economy sucks and with a whacky TCS major in fine arts, man… I won’t know what I want to do until I’m already doing it. I’m going with the flow as they say, hopefully that’ll pay off.

*got interrupted*

For now, saving up some monay.. building my portfolio. so if anyone need some help in web/graphics design, video editing, computer set up, audio mixing or watever let me know.

]]> http://dan-tart.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=56 0 session 2 we halfway thru http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=54 http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=54#comments Thu, 20 Aug 2009 09:05:50 +0000 admin http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=54 I’m on one wild ride right now and it’s just the beginnin ya’ll. I wish time could just stop right now so we can enjoy the moment. Savor it cause from here on out everything is about making it to the top.

After ss2 we done, and I haven’t exactly planned out anything about jobs, I think it’s too early for that… I want to have time to just gather myself, gather my portfolio, and create something that will land me something much more beneficial than if I just started working right away.

I’m slowly changing… I can feel it, for the better. tired.

Summer isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. That’s the life of students I guess. Before you know it, school will start again! For me, nothing’s changed. I’ve just caught the flu at a bad time and have been skipping out on work. That mean’s my $$$ are turning into just a $.

My classes are ok, but having it every day in the morning can be a burden. At least I know that I will be done in 2 hours. Besides class and gym, I don’t feel the need to rush anything. So theres 2 options for me, work harder in those categories, or find time to chill and kick back–usually its the latter.

Hm… not sure what else to say.. but I’ve updated for the sake of updating. www.dan-tart.com plz leave comments and suggestions

Sometimes you have to lose to win

It’s very true. In whatever analogy it comes in, it basically means you gotta learn a lesson before being the master. You’ve got to have experience before you win. I’ve learned over the past 2 days trying to fix a TV, that it takes a lot of precision for these things.. and I ended up wasting my time because I mishandled it with the wrong tools and the wrong approach.  I failed. but in failing I have newfound wisdom/knowledge. 2nd time around is always better.

GUESS WHAT FOLKS??.. I FINALLY GRADUATED!

you’re talking to a UCD ALUMNI right here, class of 09… What an accomplishment right? I wasn’t really that much excited going into Sunday, but when that day came….it was a sweet sweet day. Four years of memories, friendship, failure, achievement.. taking on the higher education, we finally did it! I’m not a fool though, this is just the beginning of the rest of our lives!

NBA IS OVER. SUMMER BEGINS.

e si jie tou.

I hate things, and I get angry over nothing. I wish I didn’t have to deal with everything. I don’t laugh at things the same anymore. I lay in bed thinking about nothing and everything. I wake up with no sense of purpose…. and I just want to say, fuck it. what happened to me?

Everything is grey again.

]]> http://dan-tart.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=36 0 好像我放棄了 http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=34 http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=34#comments Thu, 21 May 2009 19:51:06 +0000 admin http://dan-tart.com/blog/?p=34 I just gotta hang on for a few more weeks. I hate stressing out, and I guess I’ve been hating for a while now. It’s like an NBA season,at the end your just going to be exhausted..and won’t have anything left. But what truely matters is what you do in the playoffs. Right now, I don’t know what to expect next. I’ll be looking for a job in the upcoming weeks/ months. Hopefully I have free time over summer to just hang out and not worry so much.

This schoolyear have been bitter sweet. There are the ups and then the down. Sooner or later, its gonna come ot a stop, and you have to take it and make something out of it. Did I enjoy it or did it not meet my expectations? Whatever the case, I know that i will always appreciate the experience, good or bad. Some say experience is the greatest gift of all, and I take that to the heart.

My plan is basically to find a stable job while I am still searching for that opportunity. I want to do what I love, and not just be in it for the money. I love music, and everything else is like right there with it. I know that I want to head towards that direction. I am okay with anything but I just wish I have more time to do the stuff on my own.

The big question is: Will I go to Grad school? I know that if I want to pursue my dreams, it will be there for me. I have to have a plan though…I don’t expect myself to waltz into anything. when and where will it be?

換個角度來看…. ａｙｏ！

ｉｔ’ｓ　ａｌｍｏｓｔ　ｓｕｍｍｅｒ　２００９，　ａｎｄ　ｉｔ’ｓ　ｔｉｍｅ　ｔｏ　ｐａｒｔａｙｙｙ．．．．ＨＥＹ！！！
