Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

It would indeed be a big help to me. It was an Executive Assistant to a CEO, so I do not consider it low end, that should help. We will see if I even get an interview.

Right? Safety first! A helmet will save you. I sold my road bike years ago for this reason. I got lucky and only had close calls.

ā€œliabilityā€ is what they were actually concerned with.

At my last place, someone donated a nice basketball hoop (just brought it in and set it up in the unused parking spot area). It was taken down for liability concerns, but they said ā€œsafetyā€.

I get to diss tomb sweeping festival in my statement of purpose

I am so happy

ā€œ Every April, my family took a trip back to Mum’s hometown to ā€œcelebrateā€ tomb sweeping festival. The centrepeice of the festivities was making offerings to deceased relatives by burning joss paper, symbolic of money. As I watched the billowing smoke, choking on the acrid chemical stench, I wondered why such practices continued despite growing environmental and public health awareness. Why did my parents, who were normally adamant about recycling and wearing N95 masks on high pollution days, not only continue to participate but also chastise me for speaking out. The inherent contradiction fascinated me.ā€

Still needs tk be more concise, but something along these lines is going to be read by the UCSD Econ and strategy admissions committee

It’s 5am and I’ve been up since 5am yesterday. Just dug a 6ft hole with post hole diggers and then chugged a protein shake.

I confess I want to give this conditioning workout a cool name like all the ones @T3hPwnisher does.
It also must start with a killer leg day 10 hours prior to conditioning workout.

Suck fest 2.0?
Legs n holes?
Meat sticks and post sticks?

Hole digging and widowmakers? Dude: ā€œDig a grave for the widowā€

I forgot about using the widow maker reference. I like it. It was record time too on the hole. BUT, good dirt this time around and minimal rock so :tipping_hand_man:

Digging up good dirt after time on the wheels sounds like ā€œHunter S. Thompsonā€ to me if I ever heard it.

One of my favourite pasttimes growing up was digging holes in the empty lot across from my house

But did you have 10 foot tall post hole diggers? THATS where the magic lies.

Unfortunately no. We (little bro and I) had dinky shovels.

Although, we did cause enough trouble for the owners of the lot to put up a sign and plant new, tougher grass

Ladiessss and Gentleman theeee Amazing Anna!!!

Haha I’m not too bothered by this festival/period. It’s the bloody Hungry Ghost Festival that gives me daily asthma attacks.

That is the greatest knock-off Pacman title I have ever heard of

I confess we’re having dinner with my in-laws tonight.

I confess my wife has warned me her mother did not prepare enough food.

I confess I’m now marinating 1.5 lbs of chicken tenderloin so I don’t eat them out of house and home.

I confess this is not the first time I’ve found myself in this situation…

I confess I went to a restaurant called ā€œDixie Crossroadsā€ last night and ate 1/4 lb of scallops, 1 dozen large shrimp, 2.5 dozen rock shrimp (all blackened), a cup of Cajun shrimp soup, and broccoli and I was still hungry.
