Cheesesteaks

So While I'm in Philly, I will list my favorite cheesesteaks. I like my cheesesteaks with fried onions, mushrooms and provolone. Some times with wiz but thats just on occasions.

1 Johns Roast Pork- Best in the world. The meat is great. Its on a seeded bun. Bread is delicious. Hard on the outside and soft on the inside, kinda like me.

2 Chinks- Meat is just great. You also can get a mean shake as well. Old time feel inside the restaurant.

3 Steve's Prince of Steaks- Staple of the North East. I like this one with wiz.

4. Tony Luke's- You also can do the five pound Cheese steak challenge.

5. Dalessandro's -meat and onions are chopped nicely. Cheese well spread out over the roll.

Five minute Friend

In sales there is a thing called making a five minute friend. Basically while you are with the person, you become their friend just in that first five minutes of meeting them. You get them to tell you things. For some reason too, its always easier to tell dark or crazy stuff about your self to strangers. Then you sell them what you have. The better you are at that the better sales man you will be.

I'm in Philly right now. The thing I loved about the Northeast is people will talk to you. Especially in the supermarket or any kind of line. For example, today I was in line at barnes and nobles coffee section. The line was super long and only one person was working. We started chit chatting in line about the amount of stress the girl must feel trying to get stuff done as quickly as possible. We started talking about tv shows and then where they lived. I think that is one of the things I really miss about this area. Interaction with strangers. Making a five minute friend.

A Day in the Park

If you are a frequent reader of my blog, You will remember my post on what two guys cant do together. I did one of these things, although I did not list it. It still should be on there and that is going to the park and doing what I did.

So, It all started as a normal day. I went to eat with my friends and I was running late. After we were done eating, my friend thought it would be funny to suggest that we go to the park and have a picnic. He thought I would be totally against it because that would be gay. I said :sure, and I have some bread to bring." He told me he was joking. The original plan was to go the shooting range.

The day was so nice I said "lets go to the park." We decided to go and get kites and feed the ducks. I know sounds super gay right. But I've got to say that it was great. I felt so free and child like as I flew my kite. My kite also flew the highest. Here are some pictures below. Next time you are wondering what to do on a beautiful day you might want to go to the park.

Breaking the Rules

Marriage...

I always wanted to get married, but always late in my life. I never wanted to marry too early. I even think 35 was the best age too get married. But recently I was talking to a friend of mine, he was talking about his marriage and how happy he was. He started describing their relationship, the comfort he has with her and how he likes being around her all the time. As he was speaking, I was feeling envious of what he has.

As the weeks pasted, I've gone to a wedding and seen peoples marriages. I want the same thing. For the first time in my life, I know that I am ready at least emotionally for marriage.Its a weird thing to say. (Also, I'm not looking to get married this year or anything. Its just that if I know I meet the right girl, I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger.) A friend of mine told me 2 years ago that he was ready for marriage. I looked him in the eyes and said "Your crazy" and "I'm not". I guess people will look at me as the crazy one now.

No it all

I am a pretty young man still, but when I was younger I thought I knew it all. Like most young people, I thought I was invincible. I could do anything because I was smart, young, full off energy and ambition. But the one thing that I never accounted for was experience and wisdom.

I had my own business at the age or 20. My partner and I thought we were gonna be millionaires by the age of 30. No one could stop us. After a few years, I learned that the reality is that everything stops you. Its a cold reality when you learn that you know nothing at all. All the things you thought were true are really not. The day that you find out that you know nothing, thats when you get your real wisdom.

When I found out that I dont really know anything, the world opened up to me. The search for knowledge was greater. I became more of a sponge and tried to learn from my elder especially. But I also found out that I don't need to know everything. Everything has its place and sometimes we just need to just trust in that if you know what I mean. If you dont, then it might someday.
