That's it. I feel like throwing away my congas. Just watch the video below.
They're just too good. I couldn't even tell that they were actually doing 2 separate time signatures. I'm such a percs noob. LOL!

2 Years And It Feels Bittersweet
Today marks exactly two years since I started in this company I work in. It's funny when the anniversary of something comes around, whether it's my birthday, the new year, etc., that I always take a step back and think about what I've accomplished, where I'm at currently, and where I'm headed. I suppose I did get something from my Atenean college education afterall. But I have yet to figure out whether that is a good or bad thing. ;)
What I've Accomplished...
In some perspectives, I haven't accomplished much. But if I look at the positive side of things (which is very rare for a pessimistic and cynical person like me), I have accomplished a great deal the past two years compared to the last 4 years prior to that.

- Joined a gaming company.
- Got a director title and a pay raise.
- Work shifts became a little more flexible (comes with the job title). Daytime shift! Goodbye GY!
- Working in a city that is spacious and way less bustling than my previous job.
- Cleaned up a department that used to be in disarray.
- Garnered the respect of all my people in my department.
- Increased company revenue.
- Elevated the reputations of some of my direct reports.
- Got promoted to VP of Operations (AVP by title, but VP by responsibility, and introduced to clients as a VP) and a pay raise.
- Garnered the respect of almost all my people in the additional department I was given to oversee (all except one actually, which I will not get into heehee).

On Feasts, Splurge-fests, atbp...
I normally title these kinds of posts as "Random Thoughts from the Week/Weekend". But I wanted to change it up a little. LOL!
Anyway, on to all my scattered thoughts and my attempt to portray them in all my over-verbose-ness (if that's even a word).
Feasts
It's about 8:00PM on a Sunday night right now. I just came back from a mother of a meal in Joey Pepperoni. They just opened a branch less than stone's throw away from my appartment building. I had this sudden craving for piles and piles of carbonara. So Joey's was definitely the way to go for dinner. I'm way too full though because I ordered mushroom soup, carbonara AND pork with rice. Geez, I surprised myself some times at how much food I can consume when I'm really hungry.
I've been going to Malcom's quite often to gorge on their very sumptuous Wagyu steaks. Those things are huge! I keep on ordering it even though I end up having about 1/3 of it wrapped so I can bring it home. Well, at least I have an awesome lunch and take home for an awesome dinner.
I've been feasting a lot these days. Weekends are spent binging on ice-cold beer and good food. I've been gaining weight because of it. But it's fine considering that last last year I dropped 20-30 pounds. Now I'm slowly creeping back up to my weight back then. But who cares. Not really out to impress anyone. Feasting just plainly puts a smile on my face each and everytime. See like this like this. :D LOL!
