PRIORITES AND FIRST LONG WALK-JOG in 2015
FB will be tolerated but will not be a priority in 2015 and beyond. Social media has eaten too much time.
1. More readings, more time for "Bhagavad-Gita As It Is" and as translated by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhuda. The best-selling edition of this classic in world literature was a Christmas gift of daughter-in-law Tintin, based in Toronto Canada.
2. More writings in Ilokano and English poetry, essays, columns and one or two Ilokano fiction.
3. More walking and jogging. The BP this morning was 130/80. As a result of drinking at least more than three big cups of water before breakfast and then walked, jogged to and from Walgreens? (That's more than a total of two miles and more than an hour and a half. ( I purchased Cetaphil, a bar soap costing $4.99; LA Times, $1.50 and Colgate toothpaste, 99 cents. Also two lottery tickets, $2, for Friday and Saturday draws. I could win millions of dollars for the family, for charity, another floor to the house in Oscariz.
4. Greet all persons on the jogging/walking route, whether they respond or not. I will always stay positive, and not worry. Like the Chinese NBA basketball star, Jeremy Lin, who said in a recent interview he would always be positive and love every minute of his playing time on the court.
5. Less negative comments, more satiric statements. To say things bluntly against acts and thoughts MAY BE a kind of violence and intolerance.
It is ironic to say, God is Great, after killing your fellow human being. Those who killed the 12 French journalists speak of the barbarism of their faith, the intolerance of their Koran and the cold bloody truth of their prophet.
