Update The Introduction To Say You're Human?
Yes. I'm like the person next to me, you the reader, and everyone's cute faces I see daily.
I'm Raymond Mar. I'm a human being growing up and I'm tired of acting tough 24/7. I have strengths, weaknesses, and problems. I live to battle my weaknesses and solve my problems to become stronger. I'm lonely. Like millions of other people, I don't know what to do. There are new adventures, new skills, and new people to meet and to encounter. I continue to loosen up, be positive, be kind, and be optimistic. Never take anything and anyone for granted.
Here is the old one:
I'm Raymond Mar. I'm unemployed, live with my parents. I'm still growing up. I'm lucky I realize I need to and I am! Everyone has problems. I'm lucky my problems are really not that bad. I still seek new adventures, learn new skills, and meet new people and make new friends. I'm one of millions of people who don't know what to do. You're not alone. I have a positive and optimistic attitude. I'm loosening up. Never take anything and anyone for granted.

I'm Human Just Like The Person Next To Me
Everyone around me is human. We are happy, sad, depress, cheerful, frighten, brave, angry, forgiving, lonely, friendly, crying, understanding, gloomy, laughing, lost, (have) resolve, loving, hating, respectful.
Humans are not perfect. We make mistakes and we learn from our mistakes. Gather courage to make mistakes and be wise to learn from them. Dealing and overcoming the pains determine how much we grow up. Walk tall with our backs straight up and our eyes watching, ears listening, and hands feeling.
We are lonely. Everyone is going to be lonely. Everyone is going to experience the lonely feeling. We meet new people and make new friends so there is one less lonely person in the world.
Humans have weaknesses. We gain strength overcoming their weaknesses, and that's victory. I'm tired of acting tough. I must be brave to show, to express, to tell everyone my weaknesses. My weakness is loneliness. I feel better letting it all out.
I want to tell everyone in the world I'm a human being. To avoid misunderstandings that really affects me, from my perspective, too many times for me. I'm a person looking for something. I don't know what. So then, what's holding me back?!?

*Tried a cheaper milk brand. I saved at least a $1 a gallon. The cheaper milk is good.
*BevMo! Run. BevMo sells more than alcoholic beverages. I selected three sodas I drink for the first time. There is a decent selection of non-alcoholic beverages to expand your horizons. Avoid purchasing brand name sodas and bottle water because they're overpriced. Buy Ramune at a Chinese or Japanese store.
*Accutane. Doubled the dosage to 40mg.
*Ate at The Mini Gourmet, a 24 hour restaurant for the first time.
*Finished watching Bakemonogatari (Ghost Story).
*Helped a friend move to a new place.
*Borders Bookstore 40% coupon weekend. Purchased two Japanese comic books (manga) and checked out their free wifi with my laptop.

About Me
- Raymond Mar
- I've been unemployed since Cisco terminated my contract in Nov'08. I'm taking accounting and leisure classes at De Anza College. If I find a new job, then I drop most of my classes. I continue to learn something new, find new interests, and experience new adventures. The blogs I post I share my life to assure I'm a human being. I spend most of my spare time watching anime, reading books, working out at the gym, cooking, dancing, and listening to music.
