Have you ever played this game as a child? Teens? I know I go way back with this rusty machine. The objective is that you were given 3 balls and you had to keep the ball in play and gained points. But along the way you encounterd dings and obstacles which made the game more hard or fun. Sometimes I think my life is reflective of that. And at times I think I am juggling 3 moving steel balls at once in this game. You can try and play as hard as you can, but sometimes you lose that ball to the center of the space btw the flippers and it gets you mad. All that work and it gets swallowed up by the machine. Even when its game over sometimes, you insert more quarters in to try and keep the game alive. You can relate this game with everyday life and relationships. How much are you willing to work at it? Do you have a set goal you wish to achieve? And what is your purpose in playing this game? At times you may believe the machine is controling your life. You may feel struck or even trapped. If you are happy with your score and what you have achieved, there is nothing wrong with walking away. Just don't let regret be your last and final reward.

2 miles a day. Sometimes even more. 5 to 6 times a week. From and back from my classes, work, and activites. Why you ask? I had 5 part time jobs. I was taking a full load of courses, and I was assisting my family and siblings through school. Walking to and from places gave me time to think. It wasn't a chore or a bore. From the insane summer heat. The frozen winters. And torrential spring downs pours, I was hitting the pavement. I was also pondering. My day, my life, and the in generals. I even have the large calves to show for it. LOL At times, I considered my trek like long journeys. Searching for something. And to this day I still have not found it yet. It eludes my gasp like the sands of forgotten time. But I have not given up my quest. (cue Indiana Jones theme here) I know alot of people haven't even walked a mile in their lives. Sometimes, they don't know what they are missing. Just don't walk into bad neighborhoods and you should be fine.

Hi, I've gotten alot of emails requests to start writing here more. I apologize to my fans and club members for not submitting more content. Hey! It's tough when you run 170 clubs on AA! LOL! (yeah I have that many clubs on AA) I created these clubs to ignite the interests of AA members and I see that AA has also "cloned" many of my clubs to specific audiences. Which is ok as long as it furthers the growth of this new baby AA. What do I miss abt the old AA? The double down games!!! Plus the points you would earn by logging on and click stuff which earned you pts for purchasing AA products! AA has to really gear away from the myspace clone and work on improving community relations. Many of you have asked me what does my new profession entails. Let's just say its urbanized state gov't. I don't paid enough for what I do. And people really don't appreciate what I do. It's really a selfless job. But in my heart, I know I am making a BIG change to society. Not too many people can ask "what have you done today to the betterment of the world?" I can honestly say that I have made change in my society, hopefully it will create a "Pay It Foward" Effect on society. They say when you throw 1 pebble into the water. You create ripples. But can you throw the first pebble of change? Yeah you might miss and conk out a fish or something (LOL!) Hey! At least you tried! Remember this quote from my old Baruch College professor who died in my classroom teaching us till the end of his days ; "Trying is never failure, failure is never trying at all."

Never Forget to Say Goodbye, and

Never Forget to tell those you care abt that you Luv them

I recently started a new job. The pay sucks. The work environment is very dangerous. And the people there just aren't very friendly at all.

It's a high risk job. I have a higher chance of getting hurt and maybe even getting killed. But what may you ask casued me to leave my cushy

desk job for such a dangerous one? I woke up one day, and I asked myself, "what have I done to really change the world?"

Of all the good deeds I have done, they are just a fraction of what I can further do. In my eyes, to fully change the world, you have to start at the lowest levels

of what society has to offer.

I have co-workers who complain about their wives and their children. I don't have anyone. I am single and I don't have any children. But I would give up everything I have

for just a moment of what they have. A real family.

When they go home, they are greeted by (hopefully) a loving wife and adoring children. I go home and I am greeted by silence and a barrened empty apt. Sometimes I asked those same people who are complaining, "would you give all you have now, to re-start your lives now". Some joke around and say they would marry a super-model, but the majority would say "no".

If I had a real family, I would tell my future wife that ever moment we've shared together has been the best thing in my life. I would tell her that I loved her before leaving for work. And I would kiss and hug my children each and every night before they go to sleep.

I know I have currently shortened my life span with this new job. But I spend most of my off time with my parents and my siblings. I never leave an argumented or an angry day with them, because the next day could be my last. I try to resolve issues on the spot. I cherish each and waking moment with them. Life is truely too short to be wasted on small and trival things.

If I do pass away, at least I would have made a difference in some people's lives. But I still have much to do before my time is up. And I haven't given up on my family dream yet.

:D

One day an old man fishing along side a sandy beach saw a little girl pick up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean.

He walked up to the little and said to her "It's the strong tide. It's what caused all of these starfishes to wash up upon this beach."

The old man sighed and nodded his head.

"There's just too many of them. You can't save them all. You can't make a difference by yourself." said the old man.

The little girl looked up and smiled. She pointed out into the ocean and said, "I made a difference to that starfish."

"If you don't try mister, how will you know if you can make a difference or not?" said the little girl.

The old man graciously smiled and was taken back by what the little girl said. And what she said inspired him to pick up a starfish and return it back to its home in the sea.

Soon the word spread across the beach area and everyone joined in that day to save all of the starfishes.

You can make a difference, all you need to do is just try.

On the night of May 17th, I had just gotten out of my 3rd shift of late night work. Yes true new yorkers never really sleep. lol

To sum it up short, I had a very crappy day. I ended up picking up a late copy of the Am Newspaper. While flipping thru it, a smile caught my eye. It was truely a wholesome smile.

It was Angela Tsai. She looked kinda familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I had a change of tour coming up on the 18th and she was appearing at Macy's in Manhattan on the 18th. What luck I thought!

But I got out of work at around 5:35 pm, and when I had gotten to Macy's a little before 6pm, someone told me the event had ended.

I was like "dang! Macy is mad cheap just to hold an hour event!"

I saw a glimpse of people packing, Grace Park the singer, and that werid Jacksun7 handing out slips of papers with his myspace account at the escalators. But to no Angela Tsai.

It was ok, I was late and should have gotten there a tad bit earlier.

As I was leaving, I saw fans had gotten some stuff signed, all I had was this newspaper ad I ripped out of the Am Newspaper. lol!
