Huh? You got to be kidding… I just feel I didn’t seize onto a lot of things I wanted in order to progress and reach my dreams, and accomplish my goals before this age. I don’t have kids yet. I haven’t learned enough and made enough progress with motorcycle projects yet. I lost my job and haven’t had luck finding another one yet. Oh yea, I haven’t gotten to ride my motorcycle that much lately… Again.

But, recently, my mom or dad said that I have accomplished a lot the last few years since my illness (about four years ago) and I’m getting married so they’re really happy about how I’ve made it through everything. So it did make me realize they’re right.

It seems in the last few months, I haven’t done photography that much, haven’t really ridden my motorcycle a lot, and no vacation. Well I have no job yet but I’m really working hard to learn and develop iPhone app, it’s really difficult to balance my different commitments while doing this… But I really like working on it and I already have like four or five project ideas so far. I hope to finish my first app (basic) before the end of this August.

I have a feeling of déjà vu this summer cuz last summer I worked a lot, no vacation, not so much riding motorcycle, and I attended a wedding last August (this summer the wedding will be mine and Mindi’s).

So what will I hope to see happen when I’m turning 35? I’m definitely getting married in a few weeks and will go on a honeymoon (South Caribbean Sea) so it will be real exciting and probably make a lot of memories… I think we will make up for a lot of time we lost the last few months when we have just been too busy ,couldn’t take a real vacation and I have no job, ya know? Hope iOS Development will hit off or I will land a decent job. Maybe both. And if I get some income coming, I’ll be able to resume working on motorcycle projects. Maybe we will have a kid too but only if I get some income! Well like my dad said in an email the other day in relation to the iOS development I dived into, “you have a good positive outlook and that’s what it takes.” But that applies to everything for me.

Well all I hope now is that everything will get better real soon.

A solid challenge will bring forth your finest abilities.

Last Sunday, my fiancee, Mindi went to her Bridal Shower so I went to Maysville, GA to see Jim (Mindi’s Dad) on my motorcycle to go riding. Jim’s friend, Steve rode along with us. The day was pretty hot, well, we’ve had a heat wave here. So we rode to Tallulah Falls which is in Tallulah Gorge State Park in GA to do some sightseeing. But we spent just a short time there just to get an idea about the park. Definitely will go there to explore more in Tallulah next time. So from there we rode on to Helen, GA, one road was blocked by police cars because of a funeral.

We arrived in Helen, GA. That place, almost all the houses and buildings are in the style like German, Bavarian. They have a small creek where people can go rafting and it was real neat and pretty fun to hang out there. We checked some stores. I noticed there was nothing gluten-free I could eat there… So we decided to leave and on the way home we stopped to see the Nacoochee Indian Mound near Helen, GA.

It was a good ride with Jim and Steve but it was kind of a hot day, not too bad. But it’s always about the ride. I wanted to bring my DSLR camera but I didn’t want to carry a backpack on such a hot day so I brought my compact camera instead. I really look forward to modifying my bike again, into a bagger style but I have to wait. I rode abt 184 miles. Oh yea I ordered the book, “Let’s Ride: Sonny Barger’s Guide to Motorcycling.” I believe that book will be worth reading.
