LuluLemon bag With Cool Quotes On It

If you’re from Vancouver and aren’t a senior citizen then you know how popular Lululemon is in this city. My wife has every color of pants as well as the top to go along with them. When you buy a Lululemon you get a cool reusable bag, that is perfect for grocery shopping etc. The bag itself has over 100 quotes and thought provoking phrase, check out the photo below and read a few of them. I actually haven’t read them all so having the photo on my blog will give me a better chance to sit here and read them.

My favorite quotes on the Lululemon bag?

  1. Life is full of setbacks. Success is determined by how you handle setbacks.
  2. Do one thing a day that scares you.
  3. Jealousy works the opposite way you want it to.

Commercial Drive In Vancouver At A Glance

Last night we dropped of my baby daughter at my parents place, then my son, wife and myself went over to Commercial Drive for some ice cream at Dolce Amore located 1 block north East 1st Avenue. The place makes real Italian ice cream right in the back, yum, yum. I brought the camera along and snapped some more pics of Commercial Drive. Usually at night we end up going to Tim Hortons because the price is right and they have nice tasting coffee. For those not from Vancouver, I recommend Commercial Drive as it has a real multicultural feel with tons of coffee shops, produce stores and so on like I mentioned last week in my “This Weekend In East Van” post.

On Commercial Drive I recommend Calabria Bar for great tasting real Italian cafe, no Starbucks bullshit. The Calabria Coffee Bar has been on Commercial for over 30 years, long before non fat Lattes became a second language for yuppies. Surprise caffe lattes and mochas weren’t invented from Starbucks in Seattle, they just knew how to market it on a HUGE scale. Enough about that, I do get carried away don’t I?

Also for cheap produce and a huge selection of Italian foods such as Mortadella and Romano cheese go to Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara market has a great selection of Italian foods, it’s run by a cool old Portuguese man who always looked pissed about something, ha ha.

And… here are the photos from Monday night:

Journey Through My BackYard On Monday Morning

I had to take out the garbage this morning because it’s Monday, that means garbage pickup in East Van. I brought the digital camera along for the journey through my backyard and snapped a few pictures of the plants living back there in BackYardville. I just love making my backyard looks nice, it’s a nice calming feeling for me to relax in my backyard with nice colorful flowers and nicely trimmed green shrubs and plants and really green grass . I never thought I would care much about that type of thing, but I guess things change as you mature. I have a real appreciation for keeping my yard and landscaped tidy and looking fresh. If you would ever see my grass you would think you were at a golf course (no joke). I have no weeds (pulled them out 5 months ago) and the grass is soo green and vibrant (yea I use fertilizer on it).  My yard looks prefessionally landscaped, haha. I am pretty anal about how my house looks, and my truck and almost everythng. It’s almost a sickness, lol. Well not that bad but….

Why Early Blogging?

I’m stuck at home because  my wife has a kink in her neck ( her neck is as stiff as a board, sucks) and we need to make an appointment to see Doctor Wong this morning. Unfortunately her doctor isn’t in yet, so we have to sit tight. I should have been at coffee shop right now but things change. And that is why I am posting at such an early hour  (9:30 am Monday morning).

A Laptop Thief Gets Nabbed!

I never thought this would happen. I posted about laptops being stolen from the coffeeshop that I am using wireless Internet from. Well, the theif was so brilliant that he came today (2 days later) and was ready to try his hand at stealing more laptops. This IDIOT must be really dumb because he was videotaped stealing a laptop 2 days ago. Habib the owner watched the videotape, and I guess he remembered the guy as he walked through the door today. Good lookout Habib, he called the police, they took about 5minutes to get here and the bald assh*le junkie was arrested right away. Apparently the junkie was scoping out laptops as Habib was on the phone with the cops. The dude looks like a 45 year old science teacher, slim and balding and nerdy looking.

He will be easy to convict as he was caught on tape which has now been handed to the RCMP in Burnaby, good work!!!

Get Discouraged, But Then Get Right Back At It

Sometimes you come out  with a great idea, and you think it will take off. What happens if it doesn’t happen? Well this just happened to me, so now I need to find another way to make it happen. I am always trying new niches and ways to make money online, and sometimes it just doesn’t work. When this happens I have to admit I get bummed out, who wouldn’t?

I usually take a break then plan another way to attack it, it usually works to some degree. Affiliate marketing is all about trying new things out, because you don’t really know what will take off and work until you get in and try it.  The people who make the most money are the guys that have the balls to try new things. Sitting on the sidelines and being happy with what you have is great, but I like to expand.

Making money is like a game to me, it’s a challenge to see how far I can “push the envelope”. Sure I could be happy with what I am bringing in and I am, but I know I can bring even more. I will bring in more one way or another, I’m not too worried but I do get discouraged from time to time.

The reason for this post, hmm I’m not 100% sure. I think I just needed a 1 minute break from the “situation”, then I can think clearly and go balls out again.

PS: Don’t be one of those people who sits on the sidelines because your scared to fail. You should know that by sitting on the sidelines you have already failed YOURSELF. It’s easy to sit on the couch and watch reality shows, but do you have the courage to make something happen for yourself?

* Never give up, failure is only a state of mine. You are what you think you are, change your attitude and be a winner.
