In such an amazing,
Lazy feeling,
Dealing with so much,
I can’t ask for everything,
But getting nothing,
Oh well,
Making a statement,
Of love,
Than hate,
Amen.

It’s just the little things.
With little paws and other things,
To make you feel special,
Christmas is soon here.
My All Time Favorite Automobile
Though I don’t have it yet, I going to get it. You would define from achieving it, but I won’t let it. The car of my dreams, the Porsche 911 Turbo S, for right now my fantasy.
Houston We Have A Problem: Way Too Many Bottles!
OMG I was freaking out this morning. Like I was getting up early, doing that early morning thing—you know, the successful person wakes up at 5 a.m., starts their day, and gets the hard tasks done first thing. Yup, that thing. I did it. For which I realized I have way too many damn bottles. It blew my mind.
HOW WE GOT HERE
Well, I am into fitness, so I need a water bottle. I hate to have too many plastic water bottles, so I brought reusable ones. Then, of course, I work at a company, or anywhere I go, you obtain more water bottles. I seem to not like replacing them, then BAM, a whole lot of water bottles. Water is my favorite drink of all time. I have it with everything. I really do, so to promote my water intake, I need water readily available at every key point of my day and life. So that’s work, home, on the go, and more.
LACK OF DISCIPLINE
Okay, I am not beating myself up overall about these stupid water bottles. But I am a minimalist person at heart. As I try to improve my minimalism mastery, that’s why I am writing this post today.
BREAKING THE HABIT
Just recently, I banned myself from Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, and Panera. I cancelled my Panera Bread Sips Unlimited subscription, which I may get back, because it’s a good deal for the cost to be more mindful of money leaving my pocket.
I know living in New York City or any major city, the hustle and moving around can get you going crazy, so we buy on the go. Well, I stopped it. I am working on pre-planning more, like I used to slow down my life and spend time and effort to effect my cost, health, and smoothness of life.
I SAW IT COMING
The crazy part about it all is that I saw it coming. I started with one. I was like, “Hey Jixi, don’t get another one.” I felt the happiness of good-flowing water and just saw another amazing new color bottle, then yup, got a new bottle. Then, after being 5 bottles in, HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!
IN CONCLUSION
We are not perfect. We all have something we have less discipline about than others. But hey, I got a cool post out of this. And I will be working on my problem in public, not in private. :) I hope this post helps you look at things you have in abundance and think about how to simplify your life, donate, gift away, and more.
Live peacefully and at your own terms. 🙂

The Last Thing I Did For Fun
The last thing I did for fun was play Uno at a bar. It was actually really fun. As you should know, I play stacks. I know, I know, not everyone plays this way, which is extremely fun and keeps you on edge of what’s next. Uno is one of my favorite card games.
Have your ever played Uno?
When you played, how do you play?

Experimenting Through Failure | Poem | Story
In my head, I stay,
For hours, for days,
In ways I try,
To create,
Something new,
Everytime I wake,
Deep down,
I want to find a hit,
A win,
So I can feel,
Something new,
Rather than losing,
Choosing to not quit,
I am experimenting,
With all I got,
And my wit,
Through all failure,
Until the hours,
The days,
Start to change.

Digging Through My Pockets | Poem | Quote
Digging through pockets,
I have always found,
Myself,
It’s just that some pockets are deeper,
And takes a bit longer,
Than expected.

You Can’t Get Nowhere With Fear | Quote
You can’t get nowhere with fear.
So do things anyway.
Being a good judge of character is something I live for. But it takes one lies or a hidden truth, and no matter what you thought, aint reality.
Thanks for reading.
