Your biggest challenge isn’t someone else. It’s the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells ‘CAN’T’. But you don’t listen, you just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper ‘can’, and you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are. -Unknown

I recently had the opportunity for my first speaking engagement at CSULB as the first ever speaker in the Duncan Anderson Lecture Series. I spent nearly 3 hours talking and answering questions from students and professionals about my career journey and decision to go to business school, creativity and innovation, and the overall fields of marketing and design and how they can work together to make great products. Great turnout, lots of fun - hoping for future opportunities to continue building my experiences public speaking!

My Year... In lists...

2010-01-17T21:36:00.000-08:00

Yeah, so, in 2009 I nerdily tracked a bunch of stuff that I did throughout the year pretty religiously and thought it would be fun (or humiliating) to share the results. I'm leaning more towards humiliating at the moment. What's a better place to share the results than this crappy page that I RARELY update...
Anyhow, I used Daytum to do so, it's pretty handy for trackin' stuff.
So without further ado:

I ate out (for dinner) 107 times. And kept track of every single place I ate at. It's kinda cool looking back on this, because I can remember every single person I was with at each place I went to. At the moment, a good 80% of these memories are somewhat bittersweet.

I also kept track of everything that I drank (with the exception of water, which is what I drink ALL the time)... My findings: I need to stop drinking coffee. And holy cow MY LIVER HATES ME...

Also kept track of what I ate for dinner... Pizza wins?!? This is odd to me... I try to eat as healthily as possible. Apparently I don't do a good enough job of watching that. And what the heck is up with only 16 cups of soup? I LOVE SOUP. I also love tacos, and I didn't even break 100 of those. Same story for Burritos.

Ok enough graphs and charts. Here's the rest in list form:

I didn't get the Nike+ chip until the end of February, but at that time I was running 4 times a week while training for a triathlon. Nike+ says I ran 166.12 miles last year, but if I add in the rest of February and all of January, I was in the ballpark of 250 miles last year. I went on approximately 102 runs last year.

I spent 118 days working out in the gym. Of those 118 days, 34 of my workouts included swimming 30-40 laps in a pool after weights.

I went on 26 bike rides varying between 10 and 20 miles in length.

I surfed 28 times between June and September before work at 6am, and 4 times after work when there was still enough light out to see. I don't remember why I wanted to track what time of day I surfed at.

I spent 24 days of 2009 snowboarding. This was an extremely disappointing decrease from 2008, where I spent 72 days on the snow.

I golfed 10 times last year, and I only got out and played tennis 4 times. That sucks. I like golf. And I don't have time to do it as much as I would like.

I slept a total of 2,209.5 hours in 2009. That's an average of just over 6 hours a night. I blame grad school.

Number of flights I took: 15

Number of Angels games I went to: 4

Number of girls I kissed: pssshht, you wish I'd tell you that. I'll give you a hint: It's more than 1 and quite a bit less than whatever number would make you say "Mark, you SLUT!"

Number of times I loved this past year: 0 (like in the literal sense, in a "you complete me kinda way"). Oddly enough, I feel like this number has been stuck at zero for way too long.

Number of loves I lost: 1, maybe 2. (like in the "I love you man, you're my best friend" kinda way) And yes, I'm still bitter.

Number of concerts I went to: 1. One. I love music and I went to one stupid concert this year that I can think of... Pearl Jam and Ben Harper.

Number of times I said to myself "freakin women, I'm moving the hell out of Southern California": At least 52

Number of things I will accomplish in 2010: As many as possible. Hopefully in 2010 I'll be better at sharing it here. And no, I won't be keeping track again.

I kinda forgot I had this thing. I've kinda had a lot of deadlines though for the past few months. I thought this vid was fitting.

New Kicks.

2009-04-03T21:56:00.000-07:00

My new custom designed running shoes. Gonna test em' out tomorrow morning. What can I say? sometimes when you can't find what you want in the store, you just have to take matters into your own hands.

Noticing that lately, I've taken a liking to takin VERY up close pictures of things. Weird.

Unused Creativity

2009-04-02T20:17:00.000-07:00

This is a terribly sad, big ass box of unused art supplies that I've barely touched since finishing my Industrial Design degree over 3 years ago. Even more sad, is the fact that I have even more art supplies than this. Unused creativity... At least I have photography.

poussez pour le français

2009-04-01T19:18:00.000-07:00

I have this whole new system worked out to make sure I keep up on the French lessons. I do a lesson on the computer right before I leave for work in the morning, and then I listen to some French podcasts on may way to work. That way I get about an hour or so per day. I will admit, it is getting easier.

82

2009-02-24T19:45:00.000-08:00

It was 82 today. In February. Dearest Mother Nature, I AM NOT DONE WITH WINTER YET.

Yes, school is back in session, and I did spend the majority of my day doing homework, but seeeeeriously. Can we have winter for like, I don't know, maybe a month straight? None of this back and forth B.S.

Anyways, this pic was taken at Mt. Baker in Washington last year, on THE BEST day of the season. Click to enlarge, I'm in there somewhere.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

And the award goes to....

2009-02-23T15:11:00.001-08:00

Yesterday was a CRAZY day... I ran the Brea 8k with an average mile time of less than 8 minutes... Then I randomly got asked to go to the Fox/Searchlight pictures Oscars after party with a good/well connected friend. Here are the highlights. Amazingly good times.

We got to cruise the red carpet

Freida Pinto was SO nice, and absolutely goregeous in person...

This guy, was clearly not that excited to take a picture with another guy.

My friend Noelle with Zach Levi from the TV show Chuck. Super nice guy.

The man who made it all possible for us to attend, Anil Kapur... Anil, If the invitation is still on the table, I'll be coming to Bombay this summer...

These kids we're SO stoked to win

VIP tent at One Sunset

Director Danny Boyle and one of the new guys from Grey's Anatomy

And of course, it wouldn't be a party without Danny Glover and Dev Patel...

My crazy life, I'm so lucky to have friends that do cool stuff...

FINALLY.

2009-02-15T14:08:00.000-08:00

Now that it's FEBRUARY... We are finally getting some winter weather. Late night snowstorm in Mammoth. MAKES ME HAPPY.

25 things you probably don't care to know about me: (for those of you who AREN'T my friend on the FB)

2009-02-09T09:00:00.000-08:00

1. I hate doing lists like this, but I think that everyone I tag on this list who actually makes their own will make me laugh really really hard. It's really my only motivation for finishing.
2. If I could learn to be impervious to pain, I would.
3. I do not agree with Pluto's status as a planet. And I think that the 7th planet is probably vacant, and will remain that way simply because of it's name.
4. I think that animals are extremely jealous of our opposable thumbs.
5. I am completely different than how I thought I would turn out when I was younger.
6. I really hope that flying cars will become an acceptable, viable form of transportation during my lifetime.
7. I think that the next step in human evolution is "pollution filters." I also realize that thoughts like this (and #'s 3 & 4) probably cause people to think that I'm a little weird. But I'm ok with that.
8. I really wish that I had kept up the piano lessons as a kid.
9. I think William Shatner is AWESOME.
10. I really enjoy looking at maps. My favorite topographic feature is mountains. And while we are on the topic of mountains, Snowboarding is probably my favorite activity in the world.
11. Magnets and lasers fascinate me.
12. If you haven't figured it out from 1-11, "geekdom" and "nerdacity" run rampant in my bloodlines. What can I say. I read a lot.
13. I constantly wonder what inspires people, and what power their secrets have over them. I also frequently wonder if people think I'm an asshole, then remind myself that if they do, they probably just don't get my sense of humor, and it's probably better off that way.
14. I learned at a very young age that money does not equal respect, yet I still strive for "unbridled financial greatness." Whatever that means.
15. If I could kiss anybody that I wanted to, it would probably be Kate Beckinsdale, and yeah, I would totally go French.
16. Speaking of French, if I could be anywhere in the world right now, it would probably be Paris.
17. I have more fun thinking about what the future could hold, than I do about memories of past events that have already happened.
18. I think passion is far more important that talent.
19. I think I can statistically prove that the relationship between the "number of friends" you have on facebook is inversely proportional to the number of friends you actually have in real life. I can draw you a graph if you don't get that.
20. I've never bowled a perfect game, and it's probably why I don't like bowling. I also don't really care for football or basketball - probably because I'm not very good at those either.
21. I can't believe I made it to #21. Ummmm. Secret handshakes: I really think someone needs to bring them back. A "Secret Handshake Revival" if you will.
22. I think I'm really good at identifying what my subconscious is telling me, and yes, I usually listen. I also think that if people would learn how to do this, the world would probably be a better place.
23. I don't really like belonging to groups. I'm more of a "wander into the forest, but leave a trail for others" kind of guy. A lone wolf. But not a hermit.
24. I don't necessarily believe in heaven and hell, and I think the thought of the possibility of either existing holds people back.
25. I think that ten to fifteen years from now, I will look back on my life and smile; and that a better question for life than "Why?" is "Why not?"

much needed creativity.

Necessities

2009-01-11T14:17:00.000-08:00

I thought I'd divulge a little personal info, since I have some free time during my break. A little "about me," a-la things I love. Here we go.

Traveling. I'm all about it. My favorite place in the U.S. I've been to is Mt. Baker in Washington. It was the BEST snowboarding I've ever done. We'll talk more about that later.

My favorite places abroad are Paris, and Prague.

When not studying for my MBA (at Chapman University in Orange), I study French. I'm hoping to be semi-fluent by the time I graduate(in 2010), although I am nowhere near it. But I understand a lot. Every now and then I switch it up and try some Italian and Spanish too.

My Blackberry. It Keeps me on-the-go, and keeps me in touch no matter where I am. Twitter, Facebook, email, texts, phone calls are a regular part of my day.

Music. My iPod Nano keeps the tunes flowing in the car and while I travel, and the Vmoda Redroxx earbuds rattle my brain while I'm running or at the gym.

Guitars. I have the beginnings of a collection of them. A Takamine G Series, Fender Acoustic, and A Fender Telecaster for starters. I've been playing for 15 years and I can rock anything from mellow blues to Dave Matthews to Pantera.

I'm a big fan of shoes. You can never go wrong with Kenneth Cole and Gordon Rush. I rock the Nike AirMax 360's at the gym and on the trail. I wear an 11.5 or a 12, depending on the maker. And I sound like a total label whore right now, so lets just get the rest of the fashion segment out of the way.

I love to get dressed up, but I'm most comfortable in Jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie. Most of my streetwear is Burton/Gravis/Analog due to a seriously good employee discount.

I wear my Anon sunglasses just about everywhere. And I love their goggles too. I have a bazillion pairs, so I couldn't pic just one pic.

Ferragamo Subtil Pour Homme. This is what I smell like about 80% of the time. I LOVE it. It's subtle, clean, a little bit sensual, and DE-licious. FYI - the other 20% of the time I probably smell like sweat, because I am REALLY active.

On the activity front for starters, snowboarding is by FAR my favorite past-time. Last winter alone (before I decided to get my MBA) I spent 58 days snowboarding (a lot for a SoCal guy). I went to Vermont and Brittish Columbia twice, all of the SoCal resorts regularly, Mammoth, and Washington. It was kind-of my job. And I loved every second of it. This is one of my snowboards above. As I mentioned earlier - Mt. Baker in Washington is Heaven on Earth. You should go there.

I surf too. But I don't enjoy it anywhere near as much as snowboarding. It's more of a " I need excercise but there's no snow so I'll go surfing" kind of thing. I have a 6'4" Channel Islands Pod (above) that I'm not real great on, and a 7'10" fun board that will catch just about any wave. My regular surf spots are at The River in Seal Beach, PCH & Warner (behind the Jack in the Box), or The Cliffs in Huntington- right by dog beach. If I have time though, I take the long board out to San Onofre.

I golf. I've probably played golf longer than any other sport I've played over the years, and I love my Cleveland CG4's. My favorite course is Hacienda Country Club in La Habra Heights, or San Juan Hills in San Juan Capistrano.

My bike. A Trek 6000, I've ridden it all over Orange County offroad trails. It's a mountain bike. I can't do the road bike thing for one simple reason: Spandex is not ok. I ride the Fullerton Loop all the time, Carbon Canyon, and Mathis (grueling) down in South OC as well. While we're talking about modes of transportation, feast your eyes on this:

Aston Martin. By far, the most beautiful automobile on the road, and I don't have one. YET.

And while we're talking about things of beauty - Kate Beckinsdale. She's English, classy, and just, well... HOT. Look at those eyes. I'm a sucker for eyes.

Moving on. My favorite wine is Clio Jumilla from Spain. I also enjoy a cocktail from time to time. As of late, I'm hooked on Crown Royal- on the rocks, or with a splash of 7-up.

Art. I draw and paint from time-to-time, and am a total whore for good design (I did my undergraduate work in Industrial Design aka consumer product development at Cal State Long Beach). This painting is on my wall. It's by a guy named Derek Hess, and it's called "Flood Damage," and it makes me think every time I look at it. Other art in my collection: Edward Scissorhands by my friend Greg "Crayola" Simkins, some cool graphic design by Stephan Bucher, and a Czeck artist I bought some originals from while in Prague. I'm a huge fan of self-expression, and I generally don't care too much about what others think about me. Strangely though, I get along with just about everyone.

Blistex/ChapStick/Lip Balm. I can't live without it. I ALWAYS have some on me, and if I don't it puts me in a bad mood.

I've never had a dog. But if I did, I'd want a big, tough Husky. No wimpy little dogs. That's what cats are for.

Books. I am a MEGAbooknerd. Despite my super active lifestyle, I constantly read and love to learn. This book, "The Contortionist's Handbook" by Craig Clevenger, is my favorite. If you want to know what it's about and read the first few pages, go here .

That's all for now. Questions?

The Beer Factory in Prague also wins for best restaurant/bar 0f 2008. Beer taps AT YOUR TABLE! YESSSS. That's right, you want a beer, you pour it yourself. AWESOME.

Prague. You should go there.

Best.... of 2008

2008-12-29T09:37:00.001-08:00

So I was thinking last night over the best bottle of wine I had all year about 2008. And I thought it would be really cool to post up all of the best picture(s) I took from each place I traveled to over the past year, since I did do quite a bit of traveling. So here we go. This is a panoramic(and a really bad stitch job) sunrise over Lake Champlain in Burlington, VT. I was there for job training last December for my last job with Burton Snowboards.

Public service announcement:

2008-12-19T15:28:00.000-08:00

Ok, first off - this isn't supposed to be about words. I'm supposed to click a picture and throw it up here for y'all to look at and think "whoa, that's cool," or "he's a great photographer" or maybe even "that's weird/funny, but it's totally Mark." So the fact that you're getting words means 1 of 3 things: A) My camera isn't functioning due to a dead battery, or I've misplaced it. B) I haven't had time to take pictures. Or in this particular case C) I'm pissed off and no photo can possibly capture what I am trying to express.

That being said, I've taken time out of my day to remind everyone how to go out to eat at a restaurant.

Yeah, I know. It's elementary for most of us. But sometimes you just need a few reminders.

For those of you who don't know, I'm currently a waiter. Not really by choice, it's kind of the only thing I can do at the moment given my nutty graduate school schedule. I work at a nicer joint, where people like to take their clients to impress them, or their employees. Families that don't see each other often go here because it's a rather nice atmosphere and the food is pretty decent.

So here's just a few things that I've noticed lately. Don't do them, or I'll give you the "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? FACE." and you don't want that. If I give you that face, I am really likely to not pay attention to you because let's be honest here, the economy is in the shitter, I get that. My willingness to gamble by being nicer than normal to you so that you hopefully tip me more than 10% is not likely. I've been in this game WAAAAAY too long, and I can spot a cheap ass from a mile away. Plus, me giving you worse than normal service will keep you from coming back until next Christmas. I can eat your crappy 10% tip, and move on with my life. And in the process I'll do everything I can to make you look like a complete ASS to your clients/family/friends whatever.

First off, when I greet you and ask "how are you?" a response other than "we need another place setting" would be nice. Rest assured that I CAN IN FACT COUNT that there are 4 of you and only 3 place settings. And don't tell me that you need me to hurry your order along because you have to be somewhere. If that's the case, Soup Plantation is across the street.

Ordering: When I ask you "Are you ready?" and you say "Yes," don't pick up your menu and waste 3 minutes of my time trying to decide what you want and then ask me to come back. It's a simple question. There's no trickery involved. Yes means yes, no means no. If you ask me to give you like 2 more minutes, chances are I am going to give you 10. A common misconception: You are on my time, I am not on yours. I have at least 3 other tables besides yours, and guess what? THEY ALL want something from me at the same time.

On the topic of ordering: There is also no secret menu. If there's specials, I'll tell them to you. If I don't tell you them, don't assume that I'm not telling you them because I'm lazy. It's because they either look gross (and I'm not a picky eater - there's not a lot that falls into the gross category) or it's because the special has been the special for like 4 days, and I'd rather you order something fresh that you'll enjoy. If it's not on the menu, we don't have it. So don't ask.

Also, if you are going to ask for me to hold 1 thing (sour cream, mayo, etc) that's fine. When you want me to hold 10, JUST PICK SOMETHING ELSE. If you are that picky, and have to hold like 78 items from everything on the menu, just STAY HOME and cook something yourself.

The bread plate is to your left, and your water is above your knife. With silverware, start with the fork on the outside and work your way in.

Don't drink your soda/water in one gulp. I will not refill your drink every 2 minutes (see comment above about having at least 3 other tables who all want things)

Don't ask me to split your check more than 2 ways. It's annoying, and it takes a long time. If you are going out to dinner with someone who is going to ask for separate checks, drive to the ATM and get cash on the way. It's just easier. Besides, if I'm really busy, I'm going to tell you "NO" when you ask for separate checks, and then you're really going to look like an idiot to your other guests when all you have is a credit card and no cash.

Don't be a verbal tipper: A verbal tipper is the kiss of death to a waiter. If you tell me "wow, you're a great waiter" I will cease giving you good service, because 98% of the time this is an indication that you are going to leave me less than 12% for a tip. I have the data to back it up.

Seriously.

On the topic of tips: Yes, you tip on the total amount of your bill. You don't subtract the cost of your alcohol and tip off of that. If you are going to try to be a "baller" and order a $200 bottle of wine, I am going to give you better service than the 2 people at the table next door drinking 7-up. So sack up and Show me some love.

Don't be high maintenance. Like I said before, I'm going to assume that if you are a pain in the ass, you are also cheap, and that you'll find SOME excuse during the course of your dinner to not leave me a good tip. So I'll spend the bulk of my time giving fantastic service to everyone except you in confidence that they will take care of me. And I don't care if you ask to speak with the manager, they're even better than I at spotting cheap, picky assholes like you.

Don't ask me to give you something for free. And don't tell me to make sure your drink is heavy on the alcohol. These are clear, obvious indicators that you are cheap and that we shouldn't waste our time on you.

The check: When I leave the check on your table. PAY IT. Don't converse for 45 minutes before breaking out your credit card. I am trying to make money, and you are taking up my space in which to do so. Drink, eat, pay, and get out. That's how it works.

If you're going to sit and chat for an hour afterwards, you should leave the waiter AT LEAST another $10, because I could easily get another table in and out in that time frame and make more money. If you don't want to pay extra, go to a coffee shop, or go back to the house to chat.

This is already long winded. I could go on forever. So let me sum it up nicely. Don't be a dick at a restaurant. It's the holidays. Everyone and their brother is out eating. 99% of your experience is out of the control of your waiter. They don't cook your food, they don't mix your drinks. Look around you - if it's busy, EVERYONE else is waiting for something too. So just relax, and have another drink. It really isn't that difficult.

And tip your waiter. At least 15%. They work their asses off.

This has been a public service announcement by the coalition for better dining experiences.

I'm going back to pictures, I promise. Just don't piss me off anymore.

I am entirely too busy to shoot this week. Studying for mid-terms is consuming every ounce of my time, I still have not ordered a new charger for my camera, and I don't have any upcoming plans other than work or school (neither of which is anything interesting or photoworthy) So here. It's probably the best picture (definitely top 3) I took during my Summer O' Travel. Piazza Navonno, in glorious Roma. E tutto per oggi.
