It's All In The Detail...!?!

I would like to take this time and opportunity to thank all my close friends and family who were there to celebrate my Birthday this year... I cut too many cakes and was surprised way too many times.... If you know me you know I hate surprises... and that leads me to this blog post... It’s all in the detail...

Usually I can work these things out because I like to process everything. Everything I see and hear I will take it on board... and ask myself WHY?!?

Just Remember.. EVERYTHING has a meaning... Someone that twitches their nose, the way someone looks at an Item... Every Action Has A Motive... Or a meaning.  It depends on how you look at these things!  Isit a positive way or negative way?  

Enough about this bullshit haha you don't need to learn to read into all this because at the end of the day it will just cause problems for yourself,  you will look into it much deeper than you need to.  

Paying attention to detail is a trait that not a lot of people have!  This can be in everything around you,  from a stain on someone's top to the pattern of the pocket square tucked in that blazer pocket.  The smaller details imo have the bigger impacts!  These are the things people put thought and effort into achieving it could be a simple smile to just an extra stitching on your shoe.  It was put there for a reason, sometimes it has a meaning and a function. Sometimes it’s there because it’s aesthetically pleasing.

The point of this blog was just to share the fact people are always too concerned with the bigger picture and never sit down and enjoy the finer things in life. Notice the smaller things the powers above have put infront of you.

I’m just going to leave it at that and recommend you pick up a book Called The Alchemist. By Paulo Coelho...

I’ve set you home work... Because learning never stops..

Snake...Snake...SNAAAKKKEEEEE..!!!

If you got the title then you would know what this blog post is about... E3 hasn’t even been wrapped up yet and you all know i’m a Nintendo Fan... Always have been always will be and there is a reason for that..!!

The Title I know is from Metal Gear Solid... Yes you new age players will be like thats not a Nintendo game etc etc etc... Do your research... MGS has come out on nearly all consoles... But what I really want to mention is Super Smash Bro’s Universe.. DO you know what you don’t come onto my blog to read about shit you can find elsewhere. Facts and figures, videos and reviews what ever you want to know you can just google that shit....

As for my opinion I will only mention the best games and that may not even be the ones ur interested in... Anyways lets kill of this paragraph...

So why did I pick that title... usually they will basically sum up the whole blog post... this one is about my Snakey ‘Brother’... You may or may not know who this person is but I treated him like a brother..

I’ve know him for a very long time and we’ve been through alot together and individually.. We’ve grown up watching [back stabbing in his case] each others backs... For those of you who do not know me personally... Yes i’m an absolute dick, someone you want to punch in the face.. but let me be honest with you here i’m actually that go to guy...

Of course people have different opinions about each other, sometimes it’s cruel and it’s something they are born with... Sometimes it’s just the way they have treated you... And other times it’s the way that person acts in general...

Yes, I am that guy who likes to and tries to please everyone and every third party involved indirectly... 1 because I believe I have a reputation to keep and I would like to keep my reputation intact... I grew up with the worst of Reps... so once i moved away from that academic and school environment I built a solid foundation. Where I’ve tried to layer into a mansion of knowledge and information.... 2 because helping others and being ‘nice’ is just manners... In this day and age what has the true gentleman become ?!?!

The other day I offered to help a lady, and she just told me to fuck off because she wasn’t interested ?! Excuse me..!?! I’m not trying to move you stupid bitch... I just wanted to do a duty as a gentleman and help you out... I’m sorry just because I speak to you doesn’t mean I want something... Thats what society has taught us every move needs to have a motive and usually that motive is negative... Stop being so selfish... I offered a helping hand because it wouldn’t have made any difference in my life... but i might have shaved off a few minutes of your life...

Anyways talking about making moves with motives... Please think about how you treat your friends... Don’t suddenly out of the blue call me because you want a problem solved... 90% of the time I will probably say Yes, because i’m that YES man... but at least give a shit about the rest of my life before you drag me into ur life... Some people just need to stop and think, It’s not always about you..

Really?! Was It Worth It...?!

Sometimes I think was it all worth it?!  

To put a smile on another person's face it is but does that actually reward yourself?!  It all boils down to the simple answer time is money,  but does money really = happiness?!  

Well it has been a few years since I wrote my extended blog post about happiness, money and my general views about it. Do you know what I can’t be bothered to fill you in on all this crap, if you want to know you can just flick on back haha... (Need to rack up them Hits)

I’ve run out of things to explain/talk about on my blogs, i’m not very inspired now a days.. Maybe because i’m just too tired.. So with a helping hand from Wayne... He mentioned Michael Kors..

As you all entered through Daniel Khor [dot] com, you know my surname is pronounced the same as this New York designer... (I bet you half the chicks who read this didn’t even know what he looks like..) [Guys i’m sure you don’t even know who i’m on about so bear with me]

That just shows how over rated this guy is... Sticks MK on a bag or a watch and everyone is jumping on that hype.. No real design... Anyone can stick logo’s on mass produced items and inflate the price... Nothing personal because the guy who owns Michael Kors wasn’t even BORN Michael Kors...

When writing essays in school you had to argue both sides of the story... So I’m going to defend the guy... What is ‘Popular’ now is actually Michael by Michael Kors... It’s like the high street version of the higher end stuff he does... Looking at it from a business perspective fucking brilliant... Everyone will buy his shit because it looks like the higher end shit but at a lower price... But even that price for MADE IN CHINA bags... Nah boy... Thats not the one... Well this might be his business plan to lower his image and make it ‘affordable’...

I’m not the expert on his items as i’m not a fan, i’ve never stepped foot into the shop and never will.. I’m not even sure if he does menswear.. But i’m not interested in any of his items..

Yeah I had to do a little research to write that small paragraph... I gave up writing that because that guy ain’t worth my time... He isn’t worth my Money hahaha...

SO next time you carry your Michael By Michael Kors bag or watch...just note it’s basically a cheap China knock off of Michael Kors... I’ve never even seen the quality so I can’t even explain what you are paying for... But don’t flaunt that shit... don’t expose yourself..

Was it really worth that price or did you pay for a Brand name again ?!

Yeah I buy a lot of ‘Branded’ stuff but at least the quality is there... it’s worth the Price...

I started this wanting to write something motivational not even for you guys, for myself and I have no idea how it ended up how it did, but I hope you enjoyed the read and I hope you take a little something away from this post. Sometimes just do a bit of background research on the brand you are buying and understand it’s roots, it’s ideals and think of it in a business perspective. Are you getting the quality your money is worth... Louis Vuitton goes up in price every so often, so If you think i’m a Hypocrite... trying getting half my collection now... I can’t even drop P on that shit.. I might have to start looking at these MK bags... But isit really worth it?!

MK is just for Christmas, It’s Not for Life...

Sorry I Do Not Usually Link My Inspirations... But this is worth a read... 
How To Buy Happiness..!?

Please MiND The Gap..!?!

As all my regular readers know, I’ve always believed the mind is the most powerful thing we humans possess. I believe this is what differentiates us from animals, it is what keeps us sane and what keeps us going. Each and every individual has a different mind. Let me throw in a quick definition of what Mind is from a quick google define search (coz i know you are all too lazy to do that)

Fuck it i’m going to post all 8 definitions Google spat back at me..

1. The element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought

2. A person's mental processes contrasted with physical action

3. A person's intellect

4. The state of normal mental functioning in a person

5. A person's memory

6. A person identified with their intellectual faculties

7. A person's attention

8. The will or determination to achieve something

I’m actually only going to pick on 2 of these but for your benefit I threw all 8 of them here...

‘to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think and to feel; the faculty of consciousness’

Alrite so let me break down how I interpret this... a lot of us actually take for granted many of our senses and everything around us. To be able to feel, and to see shit around you, not all of us are capable of this.

Let me take this to a whole other level, and throw in a keyword... SOUL..

Is our mind our soul, I personally believe so (who gives a shit what you think) and our soul is immortal, I also believe that our soul actually has a physical presence. (I’m sure i’ve read of an experiment where someone weighed a body during sleep and found that our weight actually drops when we are asleep because our soul leaves the body, and they weighed a dying person and there was a slight minute change in weight when someone passed away) [Too many brackets but this is a thought process]

So there is no actual experiment carried out by myself as i’m a cryptic of this shit, but I just have to believe. Believing is a very strong factor of how our mind/soul works, your mind consciously or unconsciously can think of something and manifest that very thought into something.

‘Illness is 90% mind and 10% disease.’  

Daniel Khor (Date Unknown)

Yes I quoted myself, but I think if we are strong minded we can actually fight off any illness and problems, you know you hear all this crazy ‘miracles’ and life changing experiences because that individual believed and thought of it. Their mind was set in stone that they are able to overcome this obstacle that ‘powers above’ have thrown at them.

[I’m going to summarize all that jargon above into a quick sentence]

What you hear, experience, think about or even don’t think about will manifest into reality slowly, because your mind is a living matter and the universe is living. Your brain fires synapses through your neurons (scientist’s correct me if i’m wrong) and as soon as this process has begun the universe will begin to ‘snowball’ this chain of thought. So let me throw this curveball at you, and get them neurons working...

What if you are told you’re going to fail.....

1. You believe you’re going to fail and so the universe begins taking you down that path to make this [Statement] come true.

2. You don’t believe this is going to be true, and that's made you think i’m going to go against that and make sure it doesn’t come true. Once again that initial thought process is the beginning.

This is where I come back to number 8 in the definition. The will and determination to achieve something, don’t let people dictate what is going to happen. Only you and I mean only you have the power to chain reaction your future. It all starts with a simple thought process, if this can be achieved.

All of the above can be interpreted in any shape or form, once again this is my own thought process and has no scientific backing, no religious views or even evidence that this all exists. I just believe our mind is a powerful thing and if you learn to control it you are the God of your own future.

Too long!!

It's been so long I've even lost my fucking domain name!  It is a shame because I'm just being too jewish to update that shit!  You know what it's about time I put heart to keyboard for you guys!  Ever since I started working full time I've not given anything to you. I've decided I'm going to give u weekly if not at least monthly heart to hearts! This blog started out as something for fun, and it did grow into something i looked forward to posting. I wouldn’t call you my fans but my reader base was quite large.

Well I think it’s time to let me re-introduce myself and fill you in. The whole blog layout, links and everything will be re-worked in due time.  Regular readers know what to expect from this crap, thats why they keep coming back haha... For the new readers let me give you a quick recap... Nah, Fuck that... if you really want to get to know me click on the archive on the right, that shit will give you a full insight into who I am, who I want to be and what you should be aiming for haha...

That was the rolling start.....................

Since the last blog was just a copy and paste job and the ones before didn’t really give you a full overview of what i’ve copped.. Let me just give you a few snippets...

Yeezy 2’s, Undefeated x Bape x Adidas, Couple of Jordans and a few more Nikes... I’ve moved into higher end fashion now... Junya Watanabe, Visvim, W)Taps... That shit has begun to bore me hahaha... No need to mention all that if you want to see all of it follow my instagram, twitter or facebook...

Recently, I found out that my best friend for almost 10 years has left the country... Moved back to homeland to start up a new life, this has become more or less a common occurrence. I’ve lost a few friends to the Far East.... and you know what I might be joining them... I mean I wish had more to stay for, but there really is nothing in the UK... I can’t say there isn’t opportunities, but every path seems to be a dead end... (Let me provide a few motivational quotes here)

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Every wall is a door.

These two quotes are very powerful they keep me strong and keep me going. All my life i’ve tried to prove something to others, to be something i’m actually not.. Over these past 6 months i’ve learnt that.

A great man is always willing to be little.

I’ve thought too highly of myself, i’m a little arrogant but thats what ‘society’ has done to me, I feel as if I need to tread on others to become better, but back in the day I was the smaller man (Ironic, since i’m soo bloody short now compared to kids back then)

So I let people bend me a little and it’s finally taken it’s toll on me, people have taken advantage of my ‘nice-ness’ ← (Please insert a proper word here)

As the quote above suggests maybe i’m the greater man or maybe i’m not, but it’s finally hit me. I need to fight for myself, I need to be selfish and stop being that ‘Yes’ man...

I think i’ve got a blog about a few rules I follow, a couple of gentleman codes that I swear and live by. I feel as if I need to break these codes because they aren’t serving me as well as I think they are. You make mistakes you learn from these and you move on. When i’m on my deathbed i’ll look back and thank myself for all these mistakes i’ve made because that will have defined me. (Wow that sentence was soo fucked up when I was typing it, past, present and future tenses)

I’m going to cut this short as it’s 3am when I was typing this up. I type these blogs when i’m just not feeling myself, when a lot of things are on my mind. 20% of the time these blogs don’t actually make it to final cut haha... I end up saving them as a draft and publishing it later if it’s worth a read but most of the time it’s for personal reasons. Someone once said to me ‘Daniel, you can’t be happy all the time, I can’t imagine how you must feel when you are sad.’

This is what Tao’s will call Ying Yang... There is always an opposite... So for me to be Happy 90% of the time... (if you know me personally you know how happy I am haha) the come down from that natural high is painful and deep.

None of you care about this,(Sorry to have wasted your time) so i’m going to cut it but before I sign off I’ll leave you with a little something for you to ponder over..

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.
