I know it's a fad, but I want this setup for my desk.
Inspired by a book on Bruce Lee, (and my goal to get a six pack by January) I started a routine of running around the track of a nearby middle school. This is a big step for me because I've always hated running. Surprisingly, I've been doing it consistently, and improving my performance at the same time. Most importantly, I'm enjoying it, and I even feel the runner's high people talk about. So here's what I've learned so far: Get a good pair of shoes. Apparently, if you have high arches, the outsides of your shoes get worn out. If you have flat feet, the insides get worn out first. A good pair of shoes makes all the difference in the world. ANYONE can run ANYWHERE I felt self conscious when I started. I didn't want to look like a fool who didn't know what he was doing. Thankfully, I was wrong and running is great for everyone. The people who share the tracks vary from the beginners to the elite, yet nobody feels out of place. If you don't have a track nearby, all you need is a pair of shoes and some land. (sorry submarine dwellers) You'll sleep better at night I've enjoyed some of the best sleep these past few weeks. Running makes food taste better Run just before dinner and you'll have the best dinner you've had in your life. Stale bread will taste like cheesecake. I promise. That's it for now. Six pack or bust!
I'm Derek Chin and I'm very happy to be here. Life is a journey and an adventure, and I tend to be the "Big Picture" guy. (I ask silly questions like: "How does this help me and society in the long run?") I have lofty ideals and goals, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. This is a personal blog, so please excuse the tangents I go on, or the type of language I use once in a fucking while. I enjoy making music, doodling, and movie-hopping. Yeah I do.
XHTML/CSS/PHP/JS/MySQL/Ruby(on Rails) is the name of the game. I've had a great experience at very different companies and environments.
