Redondo Beach, CA
Is it just me, or does going to the ocean just has the effect of relaxation? I haven't been to a beach in like 3 years. The last time i went was in 2007 @ Half Moon Bay in North Cal. I've always like Redondo Beach because of the quiet atmosphere and surroundings. Street parking is allowed from 8am - 9pm i believe, just remember the beach closes at 9pm.
There is also a pier with a parking structure. Not sure exactly what's there, but i guess i'll visit next time. My dream is to someday get a pad with a balcony facing the Pacific Ocean.

Motorola Droid X or Samsung Fascinate?
Hard decision. I like Droid X's bigger screen since i have large fingers, but it may be bothersome in my pocket. I like Fascinate's layout as it looks similar to the iPhone.
Both run Android 2.1 OS, so software isn't much of an issue. The biggest 2 problem:
1. I can upgrade now, but Fascinate doesn't even have a release date yet. (rumors say August)
2. Size.. there are obvious pro's and con's.
The Best Revenge?
Something interesting i read recently.
"The best way to get revenge at someone, is by living a happy life"
Kinda makes you think doesn't it? Instead of having malicious thoughts of violence, just continue living a good life. A good happy life. This does bring up a question though.
This all came about after watching a Korean drama called 남자 이야기 (Man's Story) aka Slingshot. The story resolves around revenge, but the protagonist is this really "nice" guy that is portrayed to be too much of a saint.
For example, he is betrayed by his lover as she goes off and marries his enemy (the one that killed his brother) - yet he still worries about her and helps her. It was so frustrating watching this ridiculous fiction. I wanted to bash the monitor!
This drama put a bitter taste in my mouth. Crappy ending. I would have preferred a total victory from the protagonist. With the psycho business man losing all his money and living in a shack eating trash for dinner, and his betraying wife following him around with a shopping cart. I feel so cynical right now.. haha. Freakin drama's making me think...

- Is it important for that person to see you living this happy life in order to fulfill the revenge? Make them regret and pound their chest with anguish?
- Must you forget about the thoughts of revenge to live a happy life?
- Does your happiness need to be larger than the other person?

Volume of Blog Posts by Year/Month
Looking back at the number of blogs i made since 2002 is quite interesting. From the looks of it, i had the most interesting year in 2004, which makes sense. That was the year i started going out with the girl that eventually rip my heart out. Then i hit rock bottom in 2009 with just 8 blog posts.. what a joke.
Looks like i'm making quite the comeback though, turning my life around after a depressing few years. I've already written more in 2010 than 2006 - 2009 combined.
Been thinking about a new phone when my contract ends in August 30, 2010. I still have 1.5 months left so it's too early to tell since more phones may come out. I'm thinking about switching carriers with the exception of T-Mobile. Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon are all candidates and the deciding factor will most likely be the phone.
Sprint's HTC Evo keeps looking better and better - considering the 4G network.
AT&T's iPhone 4G looks great and has some nice functionality, but the antenna problem and the lack of 4G support makes me say "meh".
Verizon's Motorola Droid X which is supposed to come out soon looks pretty good. I thought about the HTC Incredible but i didn't like the back of the phone.
I think i should wait for more phones to come out in 4G, as i will be stuck with this phone for the next 2 years and i don't want to be stuck in a 3G situation. What i really want out of the phone are the following:
1. 4G Network capability
2. 6MP+ camera with a fast "Load" time. I hate sitting there waiting for the camera to load to take a picture
3. 720p 30fps+ HD video recorder
4. Relatively small and slim phone. Aesthetically attractive like the iPhone
5. Docking station charger (since i use my phone as my room clock/alarm)
6. Accurate and responsive touch screen

[MV] Tae Yang - I Need a Girl (feat. Sandara Park)
Not sure how long this video will be up. YG Entertainment has been dickholes about copyright and taking down MV's. I can understand illegal mp3 downloads, but a music video? It's clearly a better strategy to have your artists MV's spreading virally on the web to increase exposure. Wasn't that the whole purpose of a MV?
